Kathleen Marie Johnson Address: 66 Emmons Street. Course: College. Pet preference : Toasted English muffins. Pet aversion : Oral Topics. Ambition: Teacher. O. L. I. Comm. 4; Debating Club 1 : Ring Comm. 3 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 ; Basketball 3. 4 ; Sci¬ ence Club 4 ; French Club 4. Adorable Marie, with her mag¬ netic charm and dancing tech¬ nique, certainly made a hit with everyone. But, Marie. what caused that crimson color to bloom in your checks during recitations? Rose Anne Kedski Address: 41 South Main Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : Reading. Pet aversion : Scratchy pens. Ambition : Governmental secre¬ tary. Dante Club 2 ; Garrick Club 3. At times one would think Rose studied the sign language. She was forever waving her hands in the air trying to make some puzzled student understand her peculiar way of “saying things. That’s “Gee Whiz Kedski ! Margery Ruth Kerr Address: 23 Purchase Street. Course: College. Pet preference : Good movies. Pet aversion : Boston baked beans. Ambition : Linguist or buyer. Literary editor; O. L. I. ; De¬ bating Club 1 ; Science Club 3 (Vice-Pres. 4) ; Garrick Club 3, 4; French Club (Vice-Pres. 4); Basketball 3, 4 ; Minstrel Show 3. 4. Popular with everyone, gifted with a winning personality, a natural ability for leadership, and a charming smile was our Marge. George William Luchini Gizzard Address: 55 South Bow Street. Course : College. Pet preference: Attending ath¬ letic contests. Pet aversion : Selling tickets. Ambition : Reporter. Baseball, (Asst. Manager 2, 3); Manager 4: Football, (Asst. Manager 2, 3); Manager 4; Basketball 3, 4. Gizzard disliked selling tick¬ ets, but arguing was his forte. Whenever we caught sight of tr ' s close-cropped head, we fairly scented a heated discussion in the air. Rita Ernestine Lutz Ri Address: 55 South Main Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : Swing music. Pet aversion : Getting up in the morning. Ambition : Stenographer. Garrick Club 3, 4. Perhaps the March winds were too strong for her, or perhaps it was the history tests. At any rate, Rita of the calm and dig¬ nified walk left us during our seventh month. We think she believed in Shakespeare ' s (1564- 1616 !) advice. Francis William Magee Address: 21 Emmons Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference: Being at school on time. Pet aversion : Receiving a call- down from a certain teacher. Ambition : Western Union tele¬ graph operator. Garrick Club 3. Francis is headed in the right direction to achieve his ambition. He was a faithful worker in the W. U. office, where he was kept ouite busy, but we managed to enjoy his companionship long enough to take a mouth-open picture a la excursion. Katherine Marie Kearnan Kate Address: 28 Leonard Street. Course : College. Pet preference : Dancing. Pet aversion : Conceited people. Ambition : Teacher. Debating Club 1 ; Garrick Club 3, 4; French Club 4. Kate really isn ' t shy. If met half way, she responds readily to friendly overtures. If some of our all-mightier; (particularly male) felt themselves neglected it’s probably because Framing¬ ham interests occupied much of Kate’s time. Royal William Keene Roy Address: 79 South Main Street. Course: College. Pet preference: Tennis. Pet aversion : History. Ambition : Linotype operator. Debating Club 1. If silence were golden, Roy would be a rich fellow, for he thought a great deal about the problems which confronted him. We think, however, that there was something admirable behind the silence which he pursued. We are glad he remained with us. Theodore Kosciak Teddy Address : 55 Prospect Heights. Course : Commercial. Pet preference : Dancing. Pet aversion : Going to school on Monday morning. Ambition : Orchestra leader. Football 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4; Baseball 3, 4. Hold everything! Here ' s Ted¬ dy wearing a beaming smile as usual and quoting his rather puzzling expression, “Hey get off your foot!” We don’t get it Ted, but seeing it ' s you, we ' ll let it go. Emma Evelyn Lutfy Address : 34 Chestnut Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : Sight-seeing. Pet aversion : Disturbances while studying. Ambition : Private secretary. Dante Club 2 ; Basketball 3. Emma is a quiet and subdued type of girl who spared many words we know we should have liked to hear. But—give her a typewriter, and she will make it do her share of talking. She fairly made it hum. Lideo Ernest Luzi Leedy Address: 11 Hayward Field. Course : Commercial : Pet preference : Skating. Pet aversion : Oral topics. Ambition : Athletic coach. Baseball 3, 4; Basketball 4. We’ve always known stamp collecting to be a great hobby, but it took on greater signifi¬ cance when even the doubting Thomas of our class named it his. Leedy persisted in knowing the why and wherefore of every¬ thing—from English to type¬ writing. Raymond Rudolph Mainini Ray Address : 20 North Street. Course : College. Pet preference : Chocolate cake. Pet aversion : Hour exams. Ambition : Doctor. Circulation Manager; O. L. I. ; Class Treas. 1, 2, 3. 4 ; Debat¬ ing Club 1 : Garrick Club 3, 4 ; Science Club 3, 4 ; Dance Comm. 3, 4; French Club 4. Your dignity, sympathy, readi¬ ness to aid your fellow-men, and your fine sense of humor will be valuable assets in your future profession, Ray.

Virginia Marie Ferrucci Ginger Address: 11 Mellen Street, South Milford. Course: College. Pet preference : Reading. Pet aversion : Disturbances from radio while studying. Ambition : Teacher. Debating Club 1. Ha ha ! Take a look at these will you ! Golly, but those post cards which Ginger collects are just splendid ! How about giving us a few pointers, Ginny? We certainly would enjoy a few in¬ side tips from you ! John Joseph Gemma Johnny Address: 20 Fruit Street. Course: College. Pet preference: To read and see plays. Pet aversion : Conceited persons. Ambition : Playwright. Debating Club 1 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 : Baseball 2 : Science Club 1. John ' s deep interest in dra¬ matics was clearly shown by the co-operation with which he car¬ ried out his share of the activi- vities in the David Garrick Club. His sincerity and loyalty agreeab¬ ly impressed both faculty and students. James Harry Grant Jim Address: 79% School Street. Course : College. Pet preference : Skating. Pet aversion : Shoveling snow. Ambition : Mechanical engineer. Debating Club 1; Basketball 3 ; Science Club 3, 4. How Jim loved to keep people waiting! Johnson had nothing on him. Nevertheless, Jim, the girls would just as soon wait hours for a dance with you. His ability a la Terpsichore rated him tops with us. Josephine Anne Grillo Jo Address: 40 Glines Avenue. 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. Pet preference: To attend Catho¬ lic University. Pet aversion: Reading famous novels. Ambition : College Professor. 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. He never failed to put us into convulsions with his hearty laugh and genuine wit. He’s one of the prides and joys of ' 38. Edith Irene Gobbi Erie Address : 7 South Main Street. Course: Commercial. 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. She didn’t de¬ vote her entire time to books but gained many lasting friend¬ ships—much to our satisfaction. Stanley Haskel Stan Address: 110 Congress Street. Course : Technical. 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. Who’s Jhat excellent player with the mass of curly black hair?” asks an ardent basketball fan. “Oh, that’s Stan Hask,” we answer. We recognized him also by his accent and tweedy suits. 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 !

Betty Ann Manoogian Betty Boop Address: 425 Purchase Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : Popular orches¬ tras. Pet aversion : Quarter-of-seven alarm clock. Ambition: Orchestra leader. Tap, tap, tap! Is there a wood-pecker about? Oh no, that’s just Betty-Boop clattering down the hall in her high heels. She has a real appreciation of music, loves to sing, dance, and clatter ! Anthony John Mazzarelli Tony Address: 71 East Main Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : Skating. Pet aversion : Scratching of chalk. Ambition: Store clerk. Tony will be a good manager for his grocery store. He pro¬ moted business every chance he had. Don’t get the impression he’s forward because he’s just the reverse: a retiring, faith¬ ful. and dependable lad. Florence Veronica Mazzini Fifi Address: 7 Union Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference: Shopping in crowded stores. Pet aversion : Elevators. Ambition: Foreign correspond¬ ent. O. L. I. Comm. 4 ; Debating Club 1 ; Dante Club 2, 3 ; Gar¬ rick Club 3, 4. Here’s how we’d pose Fifi for a drawing—standing on the tip of her toes, her pretty head tilt¬ ed sideways, and saying, “Oh, but I don’t see.” Veronica Ann McGuigan Ronnie Address: 49 Carroll Street. Course: College. Pet preference : Walking. Pet aversion : Doing homework. Ambition : Hairdresser. Debating Club 1 ; Garrick Club 3 4. In school, Veronica was re¬ served, but we who knew her well found her to be an agreeable companion, not given to volubil¬ ity, but one who knew that good conversation should be punctu¬ ated with good listening periods. Albert Edward McKinley At Address: 187 Purchase Street. Course: College. Pet preference: Hearing the dismissal bell. Pet aversion: Going to school. Ambition: Aeronautical en¬ gineer. Science Club 3, (Pres. 4.) A1 was as ready to lend his services to a beautiful damsel of 17 as to an elderly lady of 70. The Chug-Chug” of a Ford an¬ nounced Al’s coming. We surely think this personal is applicable to him only. Joseph Richard Melpignano Joe Mel Address: 47 North Bow Street. Course: College. Pet preference: Sports. Pet aversion : Ironing shirts. Ambition : Mechanical engineer. Debating Club 1 ; Football 2, 3, 4, (Capt. 4) ; Basketball 3, 4; Dante Club 4. Many spectators have thrilled as Capt. Joe carried the old pig¬ skin the length of the gridiron. Incidentally, he’s not bad at car¬ rying a flatiron the length of someone’s best shirt. Louise Mary Marelli Fifi Address: 6 Pond Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : Reading. Pet aversion : Cracking of knuckles. Ambition : Stenographer. Basketball 3, 4. Although Fifi’s one great am¬ bition is to become a competent stenographer, we feel that with a little encouragement, her the¬ atrical abilities might earn her the title of the “Local girl who met with success.” Corsina Edith Mazzarelli Address: 79 East Main Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : Cooking. Pet aversion: Getting up early. Ambition : Bookkeeper. Dante Club 2. If, “yeah ! skip it,” echoed down the corridor, we generally associated it with Corsina. This winsome senior made many strong friends with us—but with trans¬ itive or intransitive verbs ! Well, let’s skip it. William Francis McAvoy Mac Address: 9 Huntoon Slip. Course: College. Pet preference : None. Pet aversion : None. Ambition : Lawyer. Debating Club 1; Ring Comm. 3 ; Science Club 3, 4. William (“Call me Mac!”) is one of those fellows who try and try—and succeed. He’s a fellow of high standards in char¬ acter and in scholarship. Would there were more like him! John Proctor McKay Proctor Address : 36 Fruit Street. Course: College. Pet preference : Hiking. Pet aversion : History. Ambition : Printer. Debating Club 1. In time, perhaps, Proctor will realize his ambition and will be setting up writeups such as these. He’s a lively little fellow and despite his listless manner in our classes, he never rejected a chal¬ lenge to wrestle. Hazel Joan McNiff Hus Address : 76 Pine Street. Course: College. Pet preference: Cornbeef and cabbage. Pet aversion : Mice. Ambition : Journalist. Debating Club 1 ; Garrick Club 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4 ; Lit¬ erary Club, (Treasurer 4.) Hot-tempered but warm-heart¬ ed, Hazel was one of our most humorous classmates. Her wit¬ ticisms called for hearty chuck¬ les from both scholars and in¬ structors. Anita Marie Moran Nit a Address : 84 Spruce Street. Course : Commercial. Pet preference: None. Pet aversion: Being called on in class. Ambition : Private secretary. Basketball 1. If we heard a delightful crunching coming from the back of the room, we looked at Nita, who believed in extending recess far into the fourth period. Nita was an asset to any champ bas¬ ketball team. Rah ! Rah !
