William Alphonse DiNardo Bill Address : 28 West Street. Course: College. Pet preference : Whist. Pet aversion : Repetition of any¬ thing. Ambition : Teacher. Dante Club 2, 3 ; Science Club 3. We give Bill a pat on the back because he certainly deserves it. He is one of our class who sur¬ vived four years of Latin. He never shirked but set an objec¬ tive and persevered until he reached it. Raymond Louis Dominici Ray Address : 15 Como Court. Course : Commercial. Pet preference : Swimming. Pet aversion : Oral topics. Ambition : Band leader. Ray of the taciturn disposition believed in the futility of words as a medium of common expres¬ sion. Perhaps he was right, for he seemed to have encountered no rough sailing. Well do we re¬ member how he enjoyed Macbeth and the many outstanding les¬ sons it taught. Mary Theresa Doyle Address : 43 Fruit Street. Course : College. Pet preference: Listening to dance music. Pet aversion : Hearing speeches on radio. Ambition : Teacher. Debating Club 1 ; Basketball 3. Mary, with her blue eyes, dark hair, and sweet smile makes us think of fair colleens across the waters. An all-round favorite she seldom had much to say but when she did, the words fairly flew. Edward Joseph Dugan Eddie Address: 38 Congress Street. Course : College. Pet preference : Chocolate sodas. Pet-aversion : Farewells. Ambition : Architectural engin¬ eer. O. L. J. Comm. 4; Debating Club 1 ; Chairman Dance Comm. 3, 4; Science Club (Treas. 3), 4 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 ; Basket¬ ball 3 ; Minstrel Show 3, 4 ; Treas. Literary Club 4. Eddie— “Oh-Shucks”— Dugan of the powerful physique, was al¬ ways the life of the party. His hearty Haw, Haw, will ring pleasantly in our ears for years to come. Marie Elizabeth Fales Re Address: 3 Purchase Street. Course : Commercia l. Pet preference: Going on pic¬ nics. Pet aversion : Disturbances while studying. Ambition : Artist. Minstrel Show 3, 4. Marie, one of our attractive classmates, was by no means bois¬ terous. She gave us little oppor¬ tunity to become acquainted, but because we know of her ability to draw, we prophesy that it will help her considerably to realize her ambition. Joseph Charles DiPietro Chi cite Address: 59 East Main Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : Dancing. Pet aversion : Poetry. Ambition : Business man. Debating Club 1 ; Dante Club 2. 3 ; Ring Comm. 3 ; Football, Asst. Mgr. 2, 3, 4 ; Baseball Ass. Mgr. 2, 3. (Manager 4) ; Basket¬ ball 3, 4. Can you imagine our class with¬ out Joe? The teachers probably could, but we couldn ' t. We wonder which he preferred: base¬ ball, basketball—or the ladies. James Edwin Dore Ned Address : 23 Pearl Street, Caryville. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : Skating. Pet aversion : Going to school. Ambition : Electrician. “On the friendly side” was the theme Ned pursued. He must have enjoyed his extra activities outside his Alma Mater ' s walls, for we seldom saw him at school affairs. We learned—however, that a typewriter was to him as the piano is to Duchin. Mary Ester Droney Address: 81 Purchase Street. Course : College. Pet preference : Bicycle riding. Pet aversion : Conceited people. Ambition : Economist. Debating Club 1 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 ; Basketball 3, 4. “Laugh and be merry is Mary’s motto. As a friend she is unsurpassed, if one does not pay too much attention to her moody moments. As quickly as they oc¬ cur, however, they vanish. Mary laughs again. Charles Henry Espanet, Jr. Charlie Address: 9 Reade Street. Course : College. Pet preference : Baseball. Pet aversion : Poetry. Ambition : A professional base¬ ball player. Debating Club, Pres. 1 ; Science Club 3 : Garrick Club 3 ; Base¬ ball 2, 3, (Co-Captain 4) : Foot¬ ball 2, 4 ; Basketball 3, 4. Charlie squandered half his energy teasing the girls. They never resented but never quite appreciated his efforts. He was our hero nevertheless, on the gridiron, diamond, and basket¬ ball court. Anthony Joseph Feccia Tony Address: 330 Cedar Street. Course: College. Pet preference : Dancing. Pet aversion : Oral topics. Ambition : State trooper. Call for Anthony Feccia ! Call for Anthony Feccia ! So went the cry whenever a dull moment was in the offing. We always could depend on Tony to do his bit towards remedying a situation where good-natured jollity was needed. Joan Mary Ferdenzi Address : 26 Lawrence Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : Taking long walks in winter. Pet aversion : Disturbances while reading. Ambition : A traveling secretary- companion. O. L. . Comm. 2, 4 ; De¬ bating Club 1 ; Minstrel Show 4. To .Joan an O.L.I. meeting was her command, and she never failed. With her keen wit, amiable char¬ acter, and sound judgment Joan will experience little difficulty in traveling onward through life. Albert Pasquale Ferraro Al Address: 38 Sumner Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : History. Pet aversion : Oral topics. Ambition : Aviator. Let ' s introduce you to Al. His hobby is horse-back riding; his favorite sport is hunting. He likes to say “Wow !” He pre¬ fers Macbeth as his favorite classic read during his four years with us. His pet prefer¬ ence is history. He’s a jokester supreme.

Robert Peter Constantino Bobby Address: 5 Oliver Court. Course: College. Pet preference : Drawing. Pet aversion : Getting up in the morning. Ambition: A singer. Minstrel Show 4. We derived pleasure from Bobby’s golden voice, which en¬ tertained us with its mellow tone. Did you think that such a little fellow could have such volume? We didn’t, but he convinced us in this respect as he did with his personality. Agnes Cecelia Curley Rosalie Address: 33 Freedom Street. Course: College. Pet preference: Crab meat salad. Pet aversion : Not one. Ambition : Teacher. O. L. I. Comm. 4 ; Debating Club 1 ; French Club 4. Agnes has two sides to her character ; her school side—busi¬ ness-like, quiet, always ready with the answer; her social side —friendly, gay, and not a little talkative. Been holding out, Agnes ? Agnes Eleanor Damigian Aggie Address: 36 Water Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : Dancing. Pet aversion : Scratching on blackboards. Ambition: Commercial artist. Long shall we remember when Aggie invented a way to save heels. She waltzed down the corridor carrying them in her pocket. Because of her keen sense of humor she enjoyed the situation and let us do so also. She know’s where she ' s going— from head to heels. Antonette Dorothy DeCapua Monica A ddress: 4 Mt. Pleasant Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : Going to school. Pet aversion : Getting up early in the morning. Ambition: Music instructor. Debating Club 1 ; Dante Club 2, 3. We congratulate Monica for her ability to display such a grave and innocent countenance, when her jesting was the cause of mer¬ riment in class. Remember that memorable day of the shorthand examination ? Elvira Anna De Gregory Vera Address: 29 Winter Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : Going to school. Pet aversion : Oral topics. Ambition : A typist. Debating Club 1 ; Dante Club 2 3; Garrick Club 3, 4. Vera actually enjoyed at¬ tending our hallowed educa¬ tional institution. Her con¬ scientiously executed work justi¬ fied her interest in education. Vera, undertaking all of her future tasks, will definitely at¬ tain her goal. John Harry Derderian Rabbit Address : 22 South Bow Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference. The dinner bell. Pet aversion : Getting up early in the morning. Ambition : Own a business. Debating Club 1 ; Basketball 3, 4. John will go down in history as the “ ' business student who took chemistry.” He certainly dis¬ played determination, persever¬ ance, and courage. He took his many rebuffs all in good fun and added life to his classes. Bartolo Robert Crivello Bart Address : 26 Depot Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference: Listening to Benny Goodman. Pet aversion : Getting up in the morning. Ambition : Salesman. Basketball 3. If in need of a fourth hand for whist, or of a partner in checkers, call immediately on good-looking, but shy young Bart who thus far has kept latent his ability to be a salesman. Only time will tell. Roy Daniel Cutter Slicer Address: 137 Purchase Street. Course : Commercial. Pet preference : Skating. Pet aversion : To be doubted. Ambition : Traveling. Basketball 3, 4. Roy ' s nickname can ' t apply to golf because skating is his sport. Usually rather shy, on ice he is a different personality. When you travel, Roy, head north where men are men. You ' ll be one of the best. Anthony Leo D’arcangelo Darky Address: 344 Main Street. Course : Commercial. Pet preference : Movies. Pet aversion : Getting a haircut. Ambition : Mechanic. We have often wondered why Darky was absent so periodical¬ ly. and now that we have found out, “We ain’t talkin ' .” We do say, however, that when he’s a mechanic, he’ll have to be pres¬ ent—there’s the cash register to ring. If it ' s the time clock to punch . . . well . . . Angelina Elizabeth DeCesare Any Address: 44 Winter Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : Reading. Pet aversion : Murder stories. Ambition : Traveling. Debating Club 1 ; Dante Club 2, 3 ; Garrick Club 3, 4; Ring Comm. ; Basketball 3, 4; Liter¬ ary Club, Treas. 4. Crossword puzzles fascinate Ang and have highly developed her mentality. If she succeeds in her desire to travel, her in¬ tellect will aid her considerably. Domenic Philip DelSignore Doc Address : 71 High Street. Course: College. Pet preference: Reading the sport page. Pet aversion : Having no sport. Ambition : Hockey player. Baseball 3; (Co-Captain 4.) Who was that fellow whom we saw rushing to the park-walk daily, loaded with his one book? Ah ! Now it can be told. It was our co-captain. Doc DelSig¬ nore. You shall be long re¬ membered for all your earnest efforts, Doc. Gabriel Louis Di Battista Gabe Address: 51 North Bow Street. Course: College. Pet preference: Listening to radio comedians. Pet aversion : Taking dictation. Ambition : Teacher. Dante Club 2, 3, 4 ; Basketball 3, 4. This Gabriel. who seldom missed the honor roll, had no horn, but he did have a manner of making friends and required no such instrument. In his teaching days, Gabe will help make pleasant his own classes as he did ours.

Ambition : Playwright. Debating Club 1 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 : Baseball 2 : Science Club 1.

Ambition : Mechanical engineer. Debating Club 1; Basketball 3 ; Science Club 3, 4. How Jim loved to keep people waiting! Johnson had nothing on him.

Course: Commercial. Pet preference: Going to the movies. Pet aversion : Visiting the den¬ tist. Ambition: Bookkeeper. Lucky for us Jo wasn ' t shy; we never would have really be¬ come acquainted with her. She spent too much time working, but Jo convinced us that she has those characteristics which will make for a successful career. Elizabeth Terese Hannigan Skippy Address: 92 Depot Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference: Going to the movies. Pet aversion : Getting up early. Ambition : Bookkeeper. Why don’t people tell me theso things?” cried bewildered Skippy, after we told her she wouldn ' t find A3 below the first floor. Never mind. Skip, we hear you have quite a snap-shot album. How about a peek sometime? Angelina Lucille Iannetti Angie Address : 48 High Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : Swing music. Pet aversion : Interruptions while listening to radio. Ambition : Secretary. Debating Club 1 ; Dante Club 2. Angie’s memory often failed her in answering certain questions in English or history, but there was one thing that she never for¬ got. You guessed it, license plate numbers, especially a cer¬ tain someone’s from Bellingham. Kenneth Joseph Foye Address: 15 Glines Avenue. Course: College.

Debating Club 1 ; Science Club 3, 4 ; Garrick Club 3, 4; Basket¬ ball 3, 4; French Club (Pres¬ ident) 4. Begorry an’ Pat must be a di¬ rect migrator from the oulde sod.

Pet preference: Going to the movies. Pet aversion : Applause on radio programs. Ambition: Stenographer. O. L. I. Comm. 4; Literary Club, (Treasurer 4). From top to toe Edith spells neatness. She certainly shall make an efficient secretary. Her policy, ‘‘Always on Time”, has helped to acquire and keep friends. We sincerely hope that opportunity knocks at her door. John Edward Greene Johnny Address: 5 Nelson Heights. Course: College. Pet preference : Boys. Pet aversion : Girls. Ambition: .Journalist. Humor Editor O. L. I. Comm. 4 : Debating Club 1 : Science Club 3; French Club 4. ‘‘A femme ! Quick, hide me!” Thus spoke our woman-hater, who thought that women were a ter¬ rible lot. The idea ! And such a fine looking lad! Watch him change ! Wait until reunion. Mary Frances Grillo Miranda Address: 11 Claflin Street. Course : Commercial. Pet preference: Writing radio songs in shorthand. Pet aversion: Scratching of chalk. Ambition: Civil service secretary. O. L. I. Comm. 4 ; Dante Club 2 ; Garrick Club 3. A fine typist, a skilled steno¬ grapher, and an all-round good student is Mary.

Pet preference : Jazz-bow ties. Pet aversion : Listening to brag¬ garts. Ambition : Engineering adminis¬ trator. Basketball 3, 4 ; Orchestra 3, 4 ; Science Club 3, 4; Garrick Club 4.

He’s a jolly good fellow. Philomena Marie Iannitelli Phyllis A ddress: 61 East Main Street. Course: College. Pet preference : Drawing. Pet aversion : One hour term exams. Ambition : Secretary. Debating Club 1 ; Dante Club 2. Phyllis is one of our class¬ mates who had little to say. The advice she did give, however, was of great value. There are in our class many students who often cast inquisitive looks at your scrap-book. Phyllis, so beware !
