Marino has served the town of Milford as its attendance officer. Understanding and diplo¬ matic in every situation, he has always commanded the sincere respect of all whom he encountered. On this, the occasion of his retirement, we wish him many years of continual happiness. 10 QDn iljr ttpxt fmtr pagpfi of this book we present the calendar for the year 1938-1939. This data is a record of the many events which have so added to the enjoyment of our last year here at Milford High School. Let us pause a moment in reminiscence of those activities and in recognition of the people who have made them possible. “Friday night socials” will always bring to mind a happy, carefree gathering of students with Mr. Berry, like a genial host in our midst, encouraging all to participate in the fun. Club activities gave much pleasure but also entailed work on the part of faculty supervisors and student committees. We re¬ member their efforts to interest us in profitable and entertaining meetings with esteem and gratitude. We want all those whose interest and efforts made this pro¬ gram what it was—a summary of happy days—to know that we will always remember them as our friends of Milford High. iEhttnr-iu-Olhtrf. cz ftfizn± donicizLi, Aiisnriatr thitm . 11 e—aa 01Itr (fiaUutimr for the £ rijnol fear —X938-1939 ► SEPTEMBER: The month of beginnings, wherein we again pick up the broken thread of school life.

MARCH: “In like a lion and out like a lamb.” Re¬ port cards caused those growls that issued from our various rooms about one o’clock on March 3. But then again this month brought that “thrill that comes once in a life¬ time.” You don’t know what it is? Just look below to March 13th and tell us if it ever happened to you.

We need it for the O. L. I.” Now, I ask you, what is any Senior’s ambition? To graduate, of course.

MAY: We are already quite aware that spring is here. We belatedly shed our overcoats for sport jackets and sweaters. Some even go about w ith rolled-up sleeves, open collar, and oh, such flashy suspenders. They soon find out, however, that mother nature would not yet permit such attire, and they also found our teachers had a particular aver¬ sion to such dress. May 1— Baseball season opens.

Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel; But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new-hatch’d unfledg’d comrade. Beware Of entrance to a quarrel; but being in, Bear’t that th’ opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice; Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express’d in fancy; rich, not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims the man. Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.” iiamlrt: Art 1, S� r. 3. 16 acmt iii Not Write aliio ♦ ♦ “The quality of mercy is not train’d; It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest; It blesseth him that gives, and Him that takes: ’Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes The throned monarch better thAn his crown; His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of livings; But mercy is above this sceptred sway; It is enthroned in th|£ hearts of kings; It is an attribute to God himself; And earthly power doth then g how likest God’s When mercy seasons justice. Though justice be thy P ' lea, consider this,— That, in the cours|£ of justice, none of us Should see salvAtion: we do pray for mercy; And that same prayejjj doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy.

From left to right they are: Mr. Thomas F. Davoren, Mr. Alex di Giannantonio, Henry D. Barbadoro, Esq., Chairman George F. Grayson, Superintendent A. O. Caswell, Mr. Allen A. Hartwell, and Michael P. Visconti, Esq. Superintendent A. O. Caswell Through our long association with Mr. Caswell we have come to regard him not only as an efficient superintendent but also as our true friend. Mr. Caswell be¬ lieves that education should consist not merely in mastering studies, but should al¬ so give a fecundity of thought, and be a means of enabling one to live an interest¬ ing, intelligent and worthwhile life. It has been these views which have added to the pleasure of our high school days. Our School Committee We present those gentlemen who play an important part in the educational sys¬ tem of our community. When the committee met after the March elections it was composed of Chairman George F. Grayson, Henry D. Barbadoro, Esq., Mr. Thomas F. Davoren, Mr. Alex di Giannantonio, Mr. Allen A. Hartwell, and Michael P. Visconti, Esq. The sub-committees for the year con¬ sisted of: Rules and Regulations Messrs. Hartwell and Grayson Finance Messrs.

To it are attached the announcements of the various sports and clubs. Here also, the honor roll is posted every two months; no doubt that is what is holding the attention of this group; or is it a prom announce¬ ment? 77 The Office 77 Principal Frank C. Berry Whatever takes place in school life, be it studies, sports, or social activities, it in¬ variably has its origin in the focal center of the high school, “the office.” “The of¬ fice,” as we have known it, has always been a place where we might find Mr. Berry and Miss Moore ever ready to help and advise. It was at “the office” every Friday morning that Mr. Berry met with the members of the Milford High School Students Association to plan the many successful functions. Even while publish¬ ing this book we many times dropped in to find out various facts which only Miss Moore could give us. “Educational relations make the strongest tie”—so said an ancient prophet, and how heartily do we now agree. Seated at his desk, a scene so familiar to us all, we shall always remember him, the fair disciplinarian, the advising teacher and the helping friend. Following Mr. Berry’s own example we learned to appreciate our teachers for their true merits, and to look to them for direction and cooperation. Although our footsteps did lag some¬ what when we had to visit there because of tardiness, some of the happiest memor¬ ies of our high school days are associated with “the office.” Mr. Berry’s sincere interest in our be¬ half was one of our greatest incentives to utilize the most of our abilities and oppor¬ tunities. Whether scholastic or social, no problem was too trivial for him to give it his undivided attention. His objective was to make our high school course enjoy¬ able as well as instructive, and through him we were made to realize that only the gateway of knowledge leads to real happi¬ ness and success. “A Uinftrr grutlruiuu trrufiu not ttyr rarity.” 21 mtr it— ®1tp Jffantlhj lEtttrr: (@ur Jnstrurlnrs COMMERCIAL DEP’T.

Club 4; Minstrel Show 2. Dot’s main interest is to collect travel catalogues and to travel. She is an ardent lover of art and music. No. she’s not stuffy and bookish, for her sense of hum¬ or makes her a welcome addition to any daily story¬ telling session in or out of class. We hope that her appreciation of the finer things in life will continue to be her source of pleasure. Ralph Edward Acquafresca 19 Middleton Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a mechanical engineer. Dante Club 2, President 3, 4 ; Science Club 3 ; Foot¬ ball 2, 3. Acqua of the ABC boys is one of those lads who are most likely to succeed. As president of the Dante Club he was an active member for three c onsecutive years. He didn ' t care for dancing, but he was never lacking in companionship. As a student and friend he is A-l. Claire Elizabeth Adams 6 Poplar Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a doctor ' s secretary. O. L. I. Comm. 4 ; Literary Club 4; Glee Club 4 ; M. H. S. S. A. Sec. 4 ; Garrick Club, Treas. 4 ; Dance Comm. 3, 4 ; Minstrel Show 2, 3, 4; Comm’l. Club 4. “Did you hear Bing last night? Wasn’t he great! Do you recognize the speaker? Of course, it’s Claire with her regular Friday morning question. She cer¬ tainly does remain loyal to a certain crooner but not so loyal as to the underclassmen, or should we say Ike underclassman? Dorothy Jean Alberta 52 South Bow Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a private secretary. Literary Club 4 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 ; Glee Club 4 ; Comm’l. Club 4 ; Librarian 4; Dante Club 2. As far as Dottie is concerned, music is one of the main reasons for living. Her excellent dancing made her an outstanding figure at the proms and other dances—a further proof that music is in her blood. A pleasant disposition and an excellent personality insure her success outside of school as a skillful sec¬ retary. Bottom Row, Left to Right Lucy Vivian Alcarese 42 Main Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a writer. Literary Club 4 ; Commercial Club 4. Good-natured Lucy is very quiet, yet she is full of fun. Those in her home town saw little of her, for her interest was centered on Holliston. We hear she is a budding genius because of her attempts at short story writing. We sincerely hope that she will be a Pulitzer prize winner ! We found her to be slow but sure—even in coming to school ! Margaret Dorothy Anderson 23 Emmons Streeet Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a stenographer. Literary Club 4 ; Glee Club 4 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 ; Ring Comm. 3 ; Minstrel Show 3, 4 ; Comm’l. Club 4. Miggie is as gay and carefree as a thistle from bonnie auld Scotland. Can our little friend be the object of a match? A certain Hopedale lad can vouch for her companionship. Right?—Right! Our memo¬ ries of those parties still linger. And oh! How she knew her history—dates? That everything of im¬ portance goes in cycles of three, she is positive. Ruth Anthony 26 Thayer Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a typist. Senior Literary Club 4. Those of us who were fortunate to cultivate Ruth’s friendship found her to be a ray of sunshine. Her shy manner at times caused Ruth to resemble the shrink¬ ing violet, but a timid smile, revealing handsome teeth was capable of reforming one’s whole outlook on life. Even though the expression is trite—Ruth is proof that a friend in need is a friend indeed. Robert Francis Ayotte 31 South Bow Street Homeroom B-14 Ambition : To be a druggist. Theo-Harmon Club 3 ; Literary Club. Independent! Indifferent! Apparently bored! Al¬ ways looking at the classroom clocks! Among the first to bolt out of the door at the change of classes. Usually prepared in his lessons ! Fond of chemistry. A lover of music—not history! Frowned upon school ! Caught smiling—sometimes ! Forever car¬ rying the weight of Atlas on his shoulders ! “3 mill ahum tmjarlf Ijirjljlii frb. attb lumlii taugljt.” C—T.� 26 Top Row, Left to Right Ernest David Baraiolo 8 Carroll Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a pattern maker. Literary Club 4 ; Basketball 4 ; Glee Club 4. Although we never saw Ernie at any social functions because as he said. “I never had time to attend one”, we did enjoy his company during school hours. His interest in economics was profound ; in basketball he was surpassed only by a few. He is a true son of the soil and will always be able to practice his agricul¬ tural talents to his own advantage as well as to ours Paging Metcalf Farms ! Florence Emily Beal 22 Church Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a comptometrist. Literary Club 4 ; Glee Club 4. Ping! Bang! Diminutive Flossie has made an¬ other high score while bowling. Sports were her fa¬ vorite pastime. A more active person we seldom met. She can be adequately described by three words : short, plump, and vivacious. Her winning ways and cheerful manner made her a favorite with her class¬ mates. Her occasional blushes added color to the day’s joking. Robert Edward Bell 24 Parker Hill Avenue Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a sailor on a private yacht. Literary Club 4 ; Dance Comm. 3, 4. .lust visualize a striped sweater and a pair of knickers that seem to prefer hanging below the knees, and you see Robert. If his scholastic average were as high as that which he made in bowling, he would have been the valedictorian of our class. Quick in motion, yet easy-going and good-natured in disposi¬ tion—that’s Bob, a lad whom we found to be a hail- good fellow, well met. Virginia Marie Bernardi Washington Street, Holliston Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a teacher. Class Sec. 3 ; Science Club 4 ; Dante Club 2. We hear a soft ripple . . . Babbling brook?— No, just Ginny giggling—rosy cheeks—spungold locks —sparkling eyes—vitality of a redhead—cute smile— picture of health—patient with children—getting “chubby”—sunny disposition—ambitious nature— roller skating enthusiast—country Belle—typical Braggville farmerette, who will become an excellent teacher. Bottom Row, Left to Right Barney Francis Biagetti 43 Cedar Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To join the Marines. Senior Literary Club 4 ; Football 3, 4. Barney’s enthusiasm for sports and socials was stronger than for his studies, yet—he usually man¬ aged to get by. He has a creative ability for music and may become a second Benny Goodman or Artie Shaw, playing in many ports of call. Barney especial¬ ly liked to make outside acquaintances—especially in Woonsocket ! His perfect posture on the dance floor certainly caught many admiring eyes. Joseph Charles Bianchi, Jr. 13 Dominick Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be an airplane mechanic. Dante Club 2, 4; Ring Comm. 3 ; Football 3, 4. Say, who’s that good-looking boy staring at him¬ self in the glass? Why. don’t you know? He’s Jay —another of (he ABC boys. He never passed by a mir¬ ror without glancing in to observe his curly hair and his manly physique. Does he play football? And how ! He was our star right tackle. Big—cheery— happy-go-lucky—a bit shy—that’s Jay. Anthony Eugene Bibbo 11 Genoa Avenue Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a druggist. Baseball 3, 4. Bill can be classed as that sort of person who can receive a jolting blow and still look upon life from the sunny side. He ' s a lover of the wide open spaces, and enjoys in every way, a good day of hunting and fishing. Down with dancing. says Bill with a smile on his lips. We wonder why? He’s also a lover of the very best things in life. Strive hard for your ob¬ jective, Bill, you’ll succeed. Donald Leroy Black 282 Purchase Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a state trooper. Literary Club 4; Comm ' l. Club 4 ; Baseball 4 ; Basketball 2, 4. One of Blacky’s outstanding characteristics was that boisterous laugh which was usually heard when he was surrounded by a group of friends. Although ambition to do work was not one of his virtues, he was very industrious when it came to doing manual labor. Determined, a trifle set in his manner—yet likeable, best describe our friend. 27 e—aa� Top Row, Left to Right Joseph Randall Blackmore 162 Purchase Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a pilot in the U. S. Navy. Senior Literary Club 4 ; Comm’l. Club 4. Randall ' s ambition accounts for his extensive vo¬ cabulary of technical terms which often left us speech¬ less. His favorite diversion is listening to popular re¬ cordings. We understand he has quite a collection of his own. For facts and photographs of the leading dance bands we recommend Randall as chief consult¬ ant. We like to remember that blush when he found he was the only boy in a class of girls ! Rose Ann Blascio 58 East Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be an X-ray technician. Literary Club 4 ; Glee Club 4. Rose is what makes an employer ' s office bright and cheery, for she always wears a smile. She is es¬ pecially vivacious when talking about a certain lad from South Milford. Although generally smiling, she often loses her temper. But give her a bag of potato chips, and she’ll give you another radiant smile. She has the key to everyone’s heart because she is one of our culinary experts. Ann Marie Bonina 28 Mount Pleasant Street Homeroom B-14 Ambition : To be a dietician. Literary Club 4 ; Dante Club 2, 3, 4. Ann’s chief interests lie in dramatics and basket¬ ball. Although we saw very little of her at school, we believe that much of her time was taken up by out¬ side work. We often wondered what caused the far¬ away look which appeared so often in her eyes during classes. Perhaps it was because she was dreaming of being one of the world ' s famous dietitians or was en¬ joying her favorite pastime, traveling. Who knows? George Joseph Borghi 23 East Walnut Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a professional baseball player. Literary Club 4 ; Dante Club 2. True to his word—-not a boaster—anxious to do well in his work—fond of baseball—hard working and studious—more quiet and reserved in school than out¬ side—dependable—courteous—and faithful to a trust. We think that we need not write further, for to know George well, one should meet him. He surely will measure up to our statements written in this personal sketch. Bottom Row, Left to Right Louella Mildred Boudreau 22 Central Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a dietician. Don’t hurry, Lou, you might get there early—Was there ever a Tuesday when she did not worry about the test?—Answer, no—Poor kid, we felt sorry for her—definitely absorbed by the jitterbug—always ask¬ ing for a comb—preferred chewing candy and finger¬ nails—just abhorred being alone at night—Wonder if she ever was?—We doubt it—She was quite com¬ panionable and liked. Elizabeth Ethel Brown 40 Prospect Heights Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a singer. ' Tis said that a rolling stone gathers no moss, but this does not hold true for Betty, because in spite of her extensive travels and trying problems, she man¬ aged to maintain her simple manner and charm. We feel confident, Betty, that you admire Lily Pons, for she also is small of stature, but renowned for her voice. We certainly hope that you discover life as pleasant as we have found you to be. Walter Freeman Browne 185 Purchase Street Homeroom B-14 Ambition : To be a forester. Literary Club 4; Basketball 2. Who is that lackadaisical, lanky, sandy-haired lad just shuffling down the aisle? Why it’s no one but Walt, the boy who not even a hurricane could hurry. Although he didn’t have much to say, he very oblig¬ ingly recited the famous Dagger Speech one day. We almost fell out of our chairs when this slow, bashful lad, started off the famous “Is this a dagger which I see before me?” He was a good sport. Helen Marie Bruno 36 Main Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a dental hygenist. Literary Club 4 ; Dante Club 3. Helen’s quiet manner and pleasant disposition will eventually lead her into the office of some profession¬ al man, who will be very fortunate to have such a competent worker for his assistant. The library held quite an interest for Helen, who could usually be found there reading in her spare time. We know she liked her school life because a smile always adorned her face whenever we met her. “JJf hr hr nut frUuut urith thr brat king, tljnu alialt tin it thr brat king uf gun it frlhuita.” 28 Top Row, Left to Right Miriam Niles Bullard 10 Forest Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a journalist.

Sweet, shy, studious—Mim—always prepared in her lessons—excellent ping ponger—liked English—Nor¬ wood too—the town, of course—Floyd Gibson imper¬ sonator (Remember?)—argumentive—dislikes her middle name—and corny music—wants to be a journ¬ alist—we ' re with you Miriam—Good luck ! John Peter Calagione 20 Depot Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a physical instructor. Football 2, 3, Captain 4 ; Literary Club 4. Wait ! Cal ' s running with the ball ! Look at him go ! He ' s over and has led the team to victory. That was a familiar sight to the fans when Cal took the ball, for he won many of our games with his hard playing. He was also a favorite with the girls, who will remember him for his heartbreaking manner. Courteous, good-natured, good-looking—and studious. That’s our Cal. Kenneth Wright Cameron 5 Thayer Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To join the mounted police. Football 2, 3, 4 ; Basketball 2, 3 ; Glee Club 4. From the south side of Milford came this lad, whom we certainly were pleased to know. Kenny ' s contag¬ ious smile met with quick response in the hearts of his school friends. If Ken’s procrastination paved the road to accomplishment, he should succeed in any vo¬ cation. His impartiality will be remembered long after graduation. Ernest James Carbcne 22 Como Court Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a naval officer. O. L. I. Comm. 4 ; Literary Club 4 ; Football 4 ; Commercial Club 4. All hail our poet laureate !—Our champion ice cream eater!—The Davie O ' Brien of our gridiron, who was known to the boys as Sunny but to the girls as Honey ! —He was the life of the extra period and of our parties—A lover of music and the movies—one of the most popular and best liked boys in the school. Bottom Row, Left to Right Joseph Robert Carlson 279 Main Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be an eye specialist. Football 3, 4; Baseball 4; Basketball 3, 4; Liter¬ ary Club 4. If by any chance you ever saw a gathering of stu¬ dents in the hall, you could be sure to find Joe among them spinning one of his yarns. Aside from being a yarnster, Joe was an accomplished athlete who demon¬ strated his skill to advantage on the gridiron. His heart never said die; he could take a joke with the best of us. Frances Margaret Carroll 235 Congress Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a nurse. Dante Club 2, 3, 4; Garrick Club 3 ; Science Club 3, 4. Frances possesses one of the most amiable disposi¬ tions in our class. Her perseverance and eagerness to help others speak in favor of her excellent char¬ acter. Frances’ integrity and delightful personality, combined with her co-operativeness and conscientious¬ ness make us feel certain that her future success is assured. Nicholas Richard Caruso 33 Parker Hill Avenue Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be an aviator. Literary Club 4 ; Glee Club 4. Although Nick is small in stature, he is big at heart. He entered most enthusiastically into every¬ thing that he enjoyed. His love for the modern led him to become another one of our foremost jitterbugs. The contest which he won in Natick is just one of the many prizes that he will win throughout life. We know that Nick will dance his way into the hearts of all who meet him, and that his prizes will also be many. David Eugene Casey 31 Grant Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be an orchestra leader. Literary Club 4 ; Orchestra 3, 4.

French Club 4 ; Literary Club 4. You will never hear Helen drawl “aw gwan”— never—she is quite refined—prides herself upon her perfect speech—even when excited, she will open her eyes veddy, veddy wide and say—“Really !”—She de¬ lights in different coiffures—so, boys, you can’t recog¬ nize her by the way her hair looks—She has certain¬ ly chosen a fitting occupation, for an air-hostess must have all the qualities of a lady. Lena Mary Celeste 318 Main Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a nurse. Dante Club 2 ; Garrick Club 3. “Just let me sail along on moonlight bay with Artie Shaw’s swing, and heaven can wait.” What a grand and glorious adventure. Sweet rhythm—sweet music —sweet Lena. But life is too complex. “Please, Lady,” you must get ready for school. No joking, Lena, may you be one of the best in your future role as “A Woman in White.” Bottom Row, Left to Right Arline Louise Chace 23 West Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a comptometrist. O. L. . Comm. 4 ; Literary Club 4 ; Glee Club 4. Arli ne is the type of individual who pursued her studies with skill, determination, and emphasis. She is one of our all-American girls, who aside from studies, participated in many outside activities. We didn ' t have a chance to get too familiar with Arline as her time was taken up by a competent gentleman from Mendon.

Evelyn Marie Cenedella 21 East Walnut Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To act and sing. Literary Club 4 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 ; Dante Club 2, 3, 4 ; Minstrel Show 2, 3, 4. Although she can’t read a note in music, and to her a flat is something people live in, and a minor is an under-aged child, she is a delightful singer. Re¬ member that memorable event, our freshman social, when, through blinding flashes of lightning, Evelyn bravely charmed us with her pleasing voice? Her ambition and talent will undoubtedly carry her to the height of success. Harold Louis Cenedella 7 Reade Street Homeroom B-14 Ambition : To be an airplane mechanic. Class President 1. Harold is really one of the mystery men of the class. Tall, dark, and taciturn ; he certainly looks the part. However, when we did get him talking, his endless supply of wit, uttered in his slow drawl made our efforts worthwhile. Swimming and eating fried clams are, we understand, his favorite pastimes. If so, Harold, you should get plenty of the swimming in the Navy. But how about the clams? Amelia Yolanda Cheschi 32 Cedar Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a secretary. Literary Club 4 ; Dante Club 2. Always searching for a pencil—scared to death of lightning—delights in the movies and sports, especi¬ ally biking—(She uses her bike to a good advantage too!)—Don’t you Mimi?—Did anything ever impress her as being serious? We know nothing at good ole Alma Mater ever did—Her capricious moments were overshadowed by her sincerity and good will.

Literary Club 4 ; Commercial Club 4. To any pupil who may have been dazzled by Dot’s red hair, we leave a pair of dark glasses so that he may be able to recover from the glare. Dot had a firm dislike for Monday mornings as she found dif¬ ficulty in adjusting herself to the dull routine of school after her many social activities over the week¬ end. We did enjoy her colorful recitations. Alfred Ceasar Comolli 110 East Main Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a naval officer. Senior Literary Club 4; Football 3, 4. Because Sartsie has been such a good pal, we de¬ cided to write him up and to include him in our year¬ book. Well do we remember his sportsmanship. Sartsie harbored an intense dislike for debates, oral topics, and typewriting, and studies in general. But he greatly enjoyed the company of a certain Dottie. Irene Marie Comolli 6 Fountain Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a secretary. Literary Club 4. Irene always had a broad smile for everyone she met—borders slightly on the temperamental side— loves to dance—crazy about the movies, especially when with members of opposite sex—an enthusiastic baseball fan and player—always first to leave history class—shorthand her favorite subject—hopes to be a secretary—good luck, Irene.

A great big he-man of size-thirteen-shoe fame— continually wearing the green—loves to play the sax —and to visit Hopedale—forever interesting us with his numerous conquests—an excellent friend and scout! He’s bound to succeed. John Vincent Cozzi 86 Medway Street Homeroom B-14 Ambition : To be a salesman. Literary Club 4. Whizz ! What was that? Just Johnny slowing down to fifty at the corners. Evidently he’s fulfilling his childhood ambition to be a race-track driver. Who’s that beside him? Of course, it’s his usual blond companion. One of Johnny’s weaknesses was forget¬ ting to come to school—forgetting, Johnny?—He en¬ joys bowling and swimming, but—English, Oh ! ! ! James Ralph Crivello 26 Depot Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a railroad agent. Dante Club 2 ; Baseball 2, 3, Asst. Mgr. 4; Foot¬ ball, Asst. Mgr. 4 ; Basketball, Mgr. 4.

Who? Chico sho ’nuff. 31 Top Row, Left to Right Albert Joseph Cugini 8 Oliver Court Homeroom 13-14 Ambition : To be an athletic director. Baseball 2, 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4 ; Literary Club 4. Cug was our flash on the basketball court and our Dizzy Dean of Milford High. Perseverance is one great asset which Cug possesses. Crunch! Crunch ! There he is munching on his peanuts again. You know, Cug, there is one way you can eliminate your pet aversion of “going to the movies alone.” We’re not hinting for a date either!

A flashing smile—contagious giggle—small girl— big principles—a bubbling personality—willing to help—her favorite dish, chicken a la king—her fav¬ orite companion—well—must we be explicit?

Rosalinda Viola D’Alesio 6 Quinlan Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a hairdresser. Literary Club 4; Garrick Club 3, 4; Dante Club 3; Commercial Club 4 ; Minstrel Show 3. Can she cook?

Athletic Manager 1, 2, 3, 4 ; Minstrel Show 2, 3, 4 ; Literary Club 4 ; Dante Club 3 ; Basketball 2, 3. 4. Sing—Sing—Chilly thinks there is nothing like it —he even sings when confronted with an exam—or a pretty girl—and how he could swing those limp forms about the dance floor!—Our pride and joy on Thursday morning—always the hit of the Minstrel show, and Parents’ Night. No entertainment was complete without our version of Bing Crosby. Bottom Row, Left to Right Micheal Julius DeCesare Class President, 2, 3, 4. 44 Winter Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a mathematician. Dante Club 2. 3, 4 ; Dance Comm. 3, 4 ; Science Club 3. After all the arguments Mikey has been through, we wonder how he still retains his many friends. His favorite subject is mathematics and can he do things with it, but—don ' t mention chemistry to him. His scholastic standing, plus his popularity made him one of our outstanding pupils and marked him as a true leader. Anna Marie Deletti 62 Last Main Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a governess. Literary Club 4 ; Garrick Club 3. Has Anna been hiding on us or was she too busy with outside activities?—Wonder if oral topics had any connection with her truancy on certain Mondays —Can’t say that she exactly enjoyed coming on Tues¬ day either— Oh gee ! but we found it difficult to in¬ terpret that wee little handwriting! —She was reso¬ lute in her opinions but to a good advantage.

Club 4 ; Comm’l. Club 4. Mary always revealed her annoyance, anxiety or de¬ light by her expressions and actions, and we were all pleased when we saw her joyful face and sparking eyes as she fondly caressed her usual A plusses. Con¬ fidentially, Mary, weren’t those provocative little bows you wore one of the secrets of your success? Some office is going to be exceptionally pleased for hiring her. ”(Tn hr a mrU-faiuntrrh matt ta thr gift nf furtunr, but tu luritr unit rrah nuttra bg itaturr.” 32 Top Row, Left to Right Arthur Raymond Di Vitto 55 East Main Street Homeroom B-14 Ambition : To be a boxer. Football 2 ; Basketball 2; Literary Club 4. Although there were several in our class who we have said were willing to help, we know of no one who was more desirous to run errands and to do other work of a helpful nature than Art was. He was forever on the go. And not only that ! He sympathetically and patiently listened to every tale of woe and offered his good advice many times. We were rather surprised to learn of his ambition. We can ' t quite associate it with him. Ada Hilda Dominici 15 Como Court Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a hairdresser. Minstrel Show 4 ; Dante Club 4 ; Literary Club 4.

Robert Gayton Eddy Mendon Street, Bellingham. Mass. Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a draftsman. Literary Club Treas. 4 ; Science Club 3, Sec. 4 ; Minstrel Show 3. Bob surely captured the admiration of all the pretty damsels of M. H. S. His grace on the dance floor and unusual ability to learn new steps gave hope to all the would-be Astaires and Rogers. Bob never said either too much or too little. Popular with girls and boys alike, he used his likeable personality to produce best results. He always succeeded. Bottom Row, Left to Right Gustaf Siegfred Eden Dilla Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a conservation officer. Literary Club 4 ; Commercial Club 4. Blond—quiet, unassuming—enjoys hunting, outdoor sports, and nature books—always prompt—good work¬ er—very dependable—detests noisy eaters—collects Indian pennies—enjoys reading—favorite pastime, sliding down oiled corridors—one of his best attributes was being a good listener—Although a bit shy, he favored us many times with sudden outbursts of laughter. Michael John Eghian 66 Prospect Heights Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be an engineer. Junior Science Club 3, 4. Although Mike never participated actively in sports we found out that he enjoyed all of them from base¬ ball to swimming. He liked so many sports that we wondered how he found time to learn about them es¬ pecially since he spent so much time learning lan¬ guages. He and the languages were inseparable. How studiously he would pick up his books and translate Dante’s most difficult passages ! Stanley Fabian 24 Hartford Ave., North Bellingham Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a mechanic in the navy. Sunshine was rarely seen without a smile on his face. Without a doubt Milton had Stanley in mind when he wrote L’Allegro. Stan’s sparkling humor made him a welcome companion anywhere. If Sun¬ shine lived in the days of yore, he certainly would have been the king ' s jester. At times his for crying out loud” could be heard from one end of the corridor to the other. In June our loss will be the Navy’s gain. Carl Anthony Fantini 15 Church Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a surveyor. President of Glee Club 4. Everyone in the class knew Carl, and that alone is a great tribute to his character. We shall remember his perpetual grin and his loud, cheery laughter. Jov¬ iality was his greatest asset, but aside from this he was serious as well. He is a lad who can adapt him¬ self to his environment with ease. The calling which Carl has chosen will receive one who has the greatness to serve mankind well. Slrrprr tliau bib purr plummrt mutttb. 3’U bruum my bonk.” 33 Top Row, Left to Right Mary Concetta Farese 2 Farese Road Homeroom A-l Ambition : To study music. French Club 4 ; Garrick Club 3. 4 ; Minstrel Show 3, 4. Although Mary ' s sense of humor sometimes led her into trouble, her hearty chuckle and winning smile al¬ ways seemed to bring her out on top. “Get” gets so much out of life that life must get a great deal out of her. Success will undoubtedly knock at your door soon, Mary, at the rate you’re going. It won’t be long before some snappy band will take you in hand. Anthony Joseph Femina 39 Beach Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a musician. Dante Club 2, 3, 4. Mere words cannot express the sincerity that Tony has always shown toward his classmates. He is one of those care-free, happy-go-lucky individuals who lent distinction to any class. As a student Tony was always quite proficient. Iu his life’s vocation we wish him the greatest of success, for as a fine worker he is deserving of all good which we know will come. Mary Veronica Ferraro 18 Genoa Avenue Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a stenographer. Don’t let the fact that Mary was very quiet in school lead you to think that she was that way at all times. On the contrary she could be the life of a party once she got going. Your presence in her com¬ pany will assure you of a rollicking good time, for Mary’s a top-notch imitator, who keeps her guests in stitches with her excellent way of telling jokes. She steadily, though unobtrusively, lent her best efforts to her school. Elisena Joanna Ferrucci 32 Grove Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a doctor. Garrick Club 3, 4; French Club 4. Oh, how Ellie loved to talk. We’d just listen while she ‘“let go” on people who interrupted her. She was always in a huddle to discuss lessons—or someone. But she didn’t confine her talk to serious matters. Her wit kept all her friends round her waiting for more fun. We think she’s going to be a successful doctor, for once she has her mind set on something, she goes to get it. Bottom Row, Left to Right Patrick Richard Ferrucci 85 East Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a first-class trapper. Dante Club 2. Pat was a great outdoor man . He spent most of his dawns on the banks of the Charles River trap¬ ping anything there was to be trapped. When he wasn’t trapping, he was fishing. His conversation ranged in subjects from trapping to fishing and from fishing to trapping. We liked Pat best for his sense of humor. His jokes and pranks could turn a dull classroom into a small revolution much to Teacher’s lament. William Charles Filosa 5 Purchase Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be manager of a large store. Glee Club, Treas. 4; Comm’l. Club 4; Lit. Club 4. Watch your actions, for our “Walter Winchell” is just around the corner—He delights in catching the camera ' s eye—probably, that’s why he is forever wearing that grin—one of the distinguished males in the Glee Club,—whose members showed appreciation by making him their club treasurer—a position of great trust. Leo Paul Fitzpatrick 312 Main Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : Undecided. Dance Comm. 3, 4 ; Ring Comm. 3 ; Junior Science Club 3, 4 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 ; Min. Show 3. When Leo started to exercise his charms on the girls, did their hearts beat! Although his good-na¬ tured disposition sometimes led him into difficulties, he always came out on top. His grace on the dance floor and persuasive manner greatly impressed us. It will be difficult for us to forget Leo ' s unique jokes, which always provoked merry peals of laughter—es¬ pecially in the corridors. Peter James Frascotti, Jr. 14 Fells Avenue Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To own and manage a grocery store. Comm’l. Club 4 ; Literary Club 4. Time : sixth period. Who was that shouting in the Auditorium? No one but Moby Dick. Next to watching baseball and football, Moby liked to referee basketball games. When he called a foul, there could be no mistake. He was heard, on clear days, from the opposite end of the corridor. Moby tried to get away from studying, but when he did know his les¬ sons, he made us all sit up and take notice. “ 3 , thus mutfrrttng umrMij rniiH, all btfitratri (Tu rlimrtu ' BH, anil tbr brttmng nf tny mini . ’ 34 Top Row, Left to Right Bernard Joseph Gattozzi 8 Meade Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a professional boxer. Senior Glee Club 4. Benny of the small physique certainly is a bundle of pep, vim, and sunshine. His ability to provide a laugh during a period of gloom, will forever be a lin¬ gering memory to us. Ben also is known for his pu¬ gilistic activities. He has established a name for him¬ self, although he has yet to engage in any active fistic encounters. For such a small lad he certainly has a great ambition. Leonard George Geake 90 School Street A-l Ambition : To be a draftsman. German Club 4. Who’s that quiet serious fellow, the one with the German book? Why that ' s “Geake”, the professor of the class. In his slow, calm manner Leonard has shown himself to be a gentleman and a scholar, one worthy of a trust, and capable of carrying it out. We have enjoyed your company, Leonard, but now that the tennis courts are open, we probably shan’t see so much of you. Alfred Raymond Germano 20 Cedar Street Homeroom B-14 Ambition : To be a professional football player. Literary Club 4 ; Football 4. Here he comes with a slow, cautious, turtle-like movement. We often wondered how Pally would act if there were a fire. But in spite of all this, he cer¬ tainly was a star on the gridiron, for our big tackle just bowled over the enemy line. Dreamy were his eyes as he sat in class waiting for the clock to sound the bell of freedom ! Joseph Charles Giacomuzzi 60 Emmons Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a chemist. Garrick Club 3, 4; Basketball 4; Min. Show 3, 4. A very likeable fellow who constantly wore a broad smile and who whistled through his teeth. Yes both at the same time. Don’t ask us how he did it. Joe was a flash on the basketball court, having been the high-scorer in many games. Joe’s personality could score a basket every time. He had a good influence on all about him—and a lasting one, too. Bottom Row, Left to Right Ernest Giardini 45 School Street Homeroom B-14 Ambition : To be a dancing teacher. We saw a crowd circled on the dance floor ; then we heard outbursts of remarks and applause. But our curiosity was not aroused. Only one guess was nec¬ essary. Yes, it was Moxie, the outstanding jitterbug of Milford High, demonstrating another of his self- styled intricate steps. He could certainly move those feet, not only while dancing either, for he was never late for school and very seldom absent. And did he like colors ! My, oh my ! ! Mario Emilio Gildone 30 East Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a forester. Literary Club 4. Mario, like other of our classmates, spent his spare minutes either trapping, fishing, or tramping through the woods. He was another great lover of the out¬ doors and sincerely hopes for an M. P. badge. He was always willing to help others and never tried to get out of doing his work. Impulsive, yet sincere, loyal, dependable, trustworthy—good-looking and friendly—neat, and well-poised—Mario ! Catherine Mary Giordano 171 West Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a dressmaker. Dante Club 2 ; Literary Club 4. Whee! There goes the dismissal bell ! But that didn’t bother Catherine. She went right on nocha- lantly typing. She was rather slow, but really we didn’t mind because she was so thorough and sincere in all she did. Her loyalty and generosity gained her the many friends she possesses. We have just found out that she has a secret desire to travel. All aboard —and good luck. Josephine Marie Gogliormella 64 East Main Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be an accountant. Garrick Club 3 ; Dante Club 2, 3 ; Literary Club 4. She was crazy about reading ! All she talked about was books, books, and more books. But we enjoyed Josie more when she told about the fudge she made. We especially enjoyed samples. Oh, could she handle figures ! Give her any problem concerning figures and she ' d have it solved for you in a flash. We always turned to her when we were stuck with an over¬ lapping number. We ' d still rather have her fudge.

Garrick Club 3, 4 ; Minstrel Show 4; Band 4 ; Or¬ chestra 4; Literary Club 4. He was a regular Don Juan—always a devoted ad¬ mirer of the belles of our class—delighted in playing a trumpet for excitement—reading offered him relaxa¬ tion—composed songs—about thirty-one so far—we hope to see some of them published soon, John—good luck—may you reach your ambition. Will your debut be made on Broadway—or Palm Beach? Joseph Francis Guadagnoli 56 Meade Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition: To be a game warden. Commercial Clu b 4 ; Literary Club 4. Yo-del-lay-dee-ho ! Yes, it’s yodeling Joe, for wherever Joe is you’ll be sure to hear his mountain lullabies—in the wood—in the house—in fact, every where. He loves many sports, and actively takes part in them all. Here’s a secret—he likes pretty girls, but he becomes shy in their presence. Joe wants to patrol the woods, a forest ranger, or an officer. Joe’s a real sport as well as a hunter. Elizabeth Margaret Guido 104 Water Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a nurse. Garrick Club 4; Literary Club 4. “Liz”, thougn ordinarily quiet was heard when there was cheering to be done—her unassuming nature and lack of conversation kept most of us at arm’s length—entertains herself by scribbling on scraps of paper—musical preference divided between classical and “swing notes—she was always doing something but was never too busy to help out. Francis Joseph Hachey 8 Thayer Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a machinist. Baseball 3, 4 ; Literary Club 4. We should say that as a general rule Chuck is quiet and reserved, but we do not mean he is unso¬ ciable, for he is as friendly a lad as one would care to meet. It would be unnecessary to say that Chuck let his deeds upon the baseball diamond speak for themselves. Few really know that there is great jol¬ lity behind his well-known poker face. We like to memember his retiring, almost bashful ways. Bottom Row, Left to Right Michael Ernest Iacovelli 27 East Street Homeroom B-14 Ambition : To be an orchestra leader. Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4 ; Commercial Club 4. Mikie has been with the orchestra so long that we don’t know what we would have done without him. He always sent his friends “trucking on down when he let loose on his licorice stick. But we really think he was too quiet and serious. Maybe he developed these qualities on his numerous hunting and fishing trips for fear he’d scare the game and fish away. Quite a clever lad. Norma Barbara Iacovelli 9 Pond Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a nurse. Literary Club 4; Garrick Club 3, 4. Norm took injured animals home—woould like to have an animal hospital—would also like to own a car personally—often dreamed of a new convertible coupe —collected postal cards from different states—feasted on potato chips—enjoyed bike riding most of all sports because it was slenderizing—Her genuine kind¬ ness will be an asset in days to come as it is at pres¬ ent. Anne Marie Iadarola 27 Highland Strret Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a teacher. O. L. I. Comm. 3 ; Dante Club 2 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 ; Commercial Club 4 ; Minstrel Show 3. Who was the nifty waitress at the Crown?—Who kept “him” from getting too lonesome?—Who just loved to talk on and on—and say something? —Who couldn ' t read unless she had something to eat?—Who had to hum in church when she heard the organ— We think you all know the answer—Our good friend Budgie. Susan Lorraine Iadarola 82 Grove Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a bookkeeper. Garrick Club 3 ; Glee Club 4 ; Literary Club 4. We heard from a reliable source that her cooking is quite digestible—does housework—prepares meals —never complains—has definite outside interests— Guess who—That’s right—ran all the way to school to get there on time—usually just made it—outside interest No. 2, eating popcorn and peanuts—regular slugger when it came to baseball—known to all as “Good old Sue.” Hr lurara thr mar (!§f luuitli upon fjim.” 36 Top Row, Left to Right Louis Anthony Iannitelli 15 East Main Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To study television. Dante Club 3, 4 ; Literary Club 4 ; Comm ' l. Club 4. Oh, how he hated to get up in the morning—es¬ pecially after an evening spent in Framingham ! What was there in Framingham that always attracted Barber? It couldn ' t possibly be the girls, could it? Or was it the dancing? Barber could never get enough of that. He even believed that our socials were too short for him. Oh. and did you know that he likes to window shop? ! ! Ask him to explain. Louis Ernest Iannitelli 61 East Main Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To get a civil service position. Literary Club 4. What Louis lacks in stature, he has in his ability to bowl. Few high-school lads can really attain the high goal he has set up in the past. He likes listen¬ ing to interesting arguments, and will sit with an open ear absorbing the highlights of a controversy. He doesn’t like the boastful people. We don ' t blame him either. They rather get on our own nerves. Louis Nicholas Ianzito 17 Fells Avenue Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a certified public accountant. O. L. I. Comm. 1, 2, 4 ; Lit. Club 4 ; Garrick Club 3. 4 ; Theo-Harmon Club 3 ; Dante Club 2, 3 ; Glee Club 4 ; Comm ' l. Club Pres. 4. In the person of Louis we have among us one of Milford High ' s worthy sons. We shall remember Louis especially for his brilliant mind. He has been for four years among our highest in the class. In that time he has helped many another of his class¬ mates to do well, for Louis was never miserly in his generosity of time. Lillian Carolina Imbruno 90 Prospect Heights Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a nurse. Literary Club 4 ; Glee Club 4 ; Comm ' l. Club 4 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 ; Dance Committee 3, 4. Une jeune fllle —with dark curly hair—possessing an ardent desire for Juniors—yearns for her favorite dish, fried clams.—With her good nature, she will sure¬ ly help her patients to a quick period of recovery.— She will make an excellent nurse, for she possesses the many requirements needed for that valuable call¬ ing. Bottom Row, Left to Right Marjorie Alice Jackson 57 Pine Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a fashion designer. O. L. I. Comm. 3, 4 ; M. H. S. S. A. 3, 4 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 ; Min. Show 3, 4 ; Science Club 3, 4 ; French Club 4; Literary Club 4. “Oh. golly!” Marge was hurrying to get to work on time. She was one of the busiest members of the class, flitting lightly here and there. Her deepest de¬ sire is to become a fashion designer and if her neat¬ ness of dress and appearance count any, she will cer¬ tainly succeed. Irma Frances Johnson 66 Pine Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a radio dramatist. Literary Club 4 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 ; Science Club 3, 4 ; French Club 4 ; Min. Show 3, 4. How could anyone feel the least bit down-hearted when in Irma’s company ! She had a smile for every¬ one and was invariably bubbling over with the latest news. We shall always remember her charming hair¬ do ' s and excellent performances both in the Garrick Club Plays and the Minstrel Shows. Marguerite Susannah Johnson 49 Jefferson Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a telephone operator. Literary Club 4 ; Comm ' l. Club 4. Here she is—Meg of the thousand and one giggles. She blushes when the boys are around, giggles when spoken to. She cooks, sews, has red hair—and—one of those tempers that is usually associated with locks of that color. Her wavy red hair is a bright beacon which leads to good companionship. She arose at 7.40 and arrived in school at 7.45 ! At least that ' s what she told us ! Perley Storer Johnson, Jr. 52 South Main Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a band leader. Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4 ; Band 3, 4 ; Minstrel Show 3, 4. A friendly companion is Bud, the lad who was not so fond of school as sports. Just plain—Camping on the shores of North Pond heads his list of pastimes. His tendencies to be quite carefree, fun loving, ro- matically inclined, made him outstanding in his own pleasant way. Did you ever see him in any other mood but a happy one? We didn’t. 37 Top Row, Left to Right Alfred Leon Kempton 29 Franklin Street Homeroom B-14 Ambition : To be a fireman. Literary Club, Treasurer ; Comm ' l. Club 4. AI is the chief heckler of ' 39. Teasing seems to be the pastime of this tall and friendly boy. If you ask Al his reason for doing things, he shakes off the saw¬ dust and very intently replies “automotive.” And what could be more like Al than his response to Fireman, save me.” Or might it be his companion of sweet femininity? Eh, Bessie! Bottom Row, Left to Right Jenny Yolanda Leo 101 West Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a bookkeeper. Dante Club 3 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 : Minstrel Show 3 ; Commercial Club 4 ; Literary Club 4. Sheets was as light and active as a ’squito—liked to travel—always laughing—was very sociable— afraid to be alone—(bet she never was)—enjoyed Biology—gloated over lemon pie—loved to meet and talk to people—anyone in particular, Jen?—active in 4-H work—Hope she gets in at Dennison ' s don ' t you? Winnifred Christina Kiessling 3 Gibbon Avenue Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a fashion designer. Literary Club 4 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 ; French Club 3, 4 ; German Club 4 ; Junior Science Club 3, 4 ; Min. Show 3, 4. Winnie loved to daydream. Perhaps she was seeing herself at the height of her ambition with debutantes coming along to her salon. Whatever her thoughts may have been, we know that she has artistic qualities both from her excellent taste in clothes and fine work in the drawing class. Mildred Lydia Knox 240 Purchase Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a dental assistant. Vice-Pres. 1, 2, 3, 4 ; O. L. I. Comm. 4 ; Dance Comm. 3, 4; Garrick Club 3; Literary Club 4; Com¬ m ' l. Club 4. Millie is dependability, unselfishness, leadership, and patriotism personified. Her complete unconsciousness of her popularity makes her one of the best liked girls in our school. Her shy little smile accompanied with a soft giggle were enough to win anyone’s heart. Sylvia Leone 8 Prospect Heights Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a private secretary. Dante Club 1, 2 ; Minstrel Show 4 ; Literary Club 4; Glee Club 4. The impetuous Sylvia was always dashing about go¬ ing nowhere in particular. Nevertheless her rhy¬ thmic feet seemed to get her places. She was usual¬ ly seen in the company of Anna Monaco. This duet kept their homeroom from having any dull moments. It was sometimes a bit difficult to keep up with Sissy’s rapid chatter. May success be hers. Charles Alfred Lombardi 10 Charles Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a mechanic. Literary Club 4 ; Commercial Club 4. Charlie usually seemed too deep in thought. He was careful of other people ' s feelings, was always willing to help everyone—prepared In his school work—liked sports, but didn ' t have time to partici¬ pate in them—always ready for an argument—never with a chip on his shoulder—Oh, yes—very bashful. Lena Lucille Lasorsa 22 Genoa Avenue Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a commercial artist. Literary Club 4 ; Commercial Club 4. Lena could tell anything about radio programs— if necessary, she used her hands to explain—always late for appointments—but not for school—moderate in some respects—but not in making friends. She loved to try on beautiful clothes—She could wear them too—Her expression “Good gradness” still remains in our ears—Success, Lena, in following your chosen occupation. Biagio William Longo 92 Hayward Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a shorthand writer. Literary Club 4. Muggsy longed as a child to be a hunter—has changed his ambition, but still enjoys this interest —Even today his dreams are all of hunting and fish¬ ing in the Canadian wilds—He didn ' t seem to notice us girls at all—His shyness kept many of us from knowing him better, but those who did were high in their praise of him. “QUjtfl in tlir nutf|t (Hljat ritltrr makra mr. ur foriuira mr quitr.” 38 Top Row, Left to Right Joan Marie Luby 92 West Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a medical secretary.

Here comes the band! ! Look at Joan handle the baton ! ! ! We ' ve appreciated her co-op¬ eration in student affairs. Joan ' s popularity may be attributed to four sources : namely, good manners, a radiant smile, a peppy personality, and an excellent character. Lucy Norma Maietta 7 Hollis Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a newspaper reporter. Senior Literary Club 4 ; Glee Club 4. A bit bashful—enjoys traveling—has been to New York and Radio City—collects pictures of leading bands—Your ambition should fulfill your desire to travel, Lucy—We wish you the greatest of success in everything you do ; you certainly deserve it be¬ cause of your good nature and sense of humor. Mary Louise Malnati 40 East Walnut Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a commercial artist. French Club 4 ; Ring Committee 3 ; Glee Club 4 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 ; Literary Club 4. We shall remember Mary not only as she was in her more serious moments, but also as a friend whose consoling thoughts will never be forgotten. We all hope that she will continue to do her work as con¬ scientiously and as willingly as she did it for us. Her faithfulness and loyalty will win her many more friends. Louis Michael Mancini 108 Prospect Heights Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a patent maker. Literary Club 4. Louis achieved one of his greatest desires in being well-liked by all his classmates—He is a steady patron of the movies—h eartily dislikes latecomers—is an ardent baseball fan—also a good cake-maker (if we are to judge from what he tells us)—except when he uses salt for sugar—By the way. Louis, we’re still waiting for a sample of your cooking. Bottom Row, Left to Right Anita Shirley Marcus 19 Oliver Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a secretary. O. L. . Comm. 4 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 ; Basketball 3, 4 ; Min. Show 3, 4 ; Comm’l. Club 4; Lit. Club 4; Glee Club 4. Who spelled delicious with an � ? Who laughed hysterically while reciting the famous Dagger Speech? Who ' s a real sport? You all know. Anita, of course. Nita ' s hearty contagious laugh, particularly in the movies where she enjoyed herself to the utmost, is most pleasant to recall. We need not wish you luck, Anita for we know that it will always attend you. Matilda Mary Ann Marenghi 7 Hayward Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a nurse. Senior Literary Club ; Senior Glee Club ; Comm’l. Club 4 ; Basketball 4. A cheerful slap on the back—, a friendly saluta¬ tion—, and the offering of a piece of candy always accompanied Tillie ' s presence—. She delighted in all sports, especially basketball—wonder why she was so engrossed and cheered so heartily at the football games?—Her fluffy locks and ruddy complexion sig¬ nified her love for outdoors. Vivian Betty Markakis 17 Hollis Street Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a secretary. Literary Club 4; Basketball 4. Pep, vim, and vigor were some of Viv ' s assets— at least in basketball—hated to let go of the ball— rarely missed the basket—quick tempered—but not enough to get the proverbial bounce. Her frequent frown caused apprehension at first, but was soon turned into a pleasant smile—Vivian ' s earnestness to succeed will certainly help her on her journey through life. Ralph Raymond Maxfield 23 Vine Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be an electrotyper or moulder. Baseball Asst. Mgr. 2, 3, Mgr. 4; Football Asst. Mgr. 2, 3, 4 ; Min. Show 2. In addition to being an associate manager in sports, Maxie’s work as a pin-boy added to his wide interest in athletics. His carefree air and happy disposition, though a bit hard to understand at times, often made us wonder if life should be taken seriously after all. He managed to get by and seemed quite satisfied. Per¬ haps as the years go by. . . . 3 ant nut ntrrrii: bni 3 bn brtjuilr tTljr tljinij 3 am, btj urrmittit ntljrruriar.” 39 Top Row, Left to Right Anna Frances May Literary Editor 18 Court Square Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a stenographer. Literary Club ; Glee Club. Secy. 4 ; Comm ' l. Club 4 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 : Minstrel Show 2, 3, 4 ; Basketball 4. Anna was one of the busiest, yet most popular girls in our class. Into her life she crammed school work basketball, club meetings .... and romance. Her work with us on this committee proved that she was as we always thought of her—a good worker right to the finish. Anna Rose Monaco 43 Prospect Heights Homeroom A-3 Ambition : To be a stenographer. Dante Club 2 ; Glee Club 4 ; Literary Club 4. Did you ever see Anna when she wasn ' t flashing her big brown twinkling eyes in the direction of some likely looking male? Another of her outstanding features was a fondness for chewing gum. Her pas¬ sion for collecting combs and handkerchiefs often caused considerable merriment. Anna’s social activi¬ ties were so numerous that they were almost as dif¬ ficult to keep track of as history dates. Alfred Louis Mongiat 190 East Main Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a professional hockey player. Senior Literary Club; Basketball 4. Vigorous—peppy—amicable—No, not a health ad— just our curly headed—sportive Al.—We wonder why he took such a fancy to spending his fifth period in the library?—Research work?—Maybe !—enjoys lis¬ tening to recordings—good hockey player. Because of his pleasant nature he has won a host of friends. Kenneth Donald Morgan Art Editor 52 Claflin Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a great artist. O. L. 1. Comm. 2, 3, 4 ; Science Club 3, 4. In our Sophomore year we were fortunate enough to secure Kenney’s company when he transferred here from Leominster. His ability with the crayon soon showed him to be an artist supreme. J. P. apprecia¬ ted school work in its entirety. He was ever ready to hug the background while extending a helpful hand to teacher or classmate. Bottom Row, Left to Right John Albert Neal 18 Cherry Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be an accountant. Literary Club 4. Although John blushed without fail every time he was called on in the history class, he always had the correct answers. We are sure, John, that your dis¬ like for Popeye’s favorite dish did not injure your basketball ability in the least. Without a doubt, you will make as many friends after you leave school as you have during your four years with us, despite your bashfulness. We liked your good spirit. Dorothy Frances Nealley 76 Pine Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a hairdresser. Literary Club 4; Garrick Club 3, 4 ; French Club 4 ; Junior Science Club 3. 4 ; Minstrel Show 3, L . Dotty is another of our classmates who thoroughly enjoyed a good swing band, preferably Artie Shaw ' s, Larry Clinton’s, or Benny Goodman’s. Although she may appear to some as having a quiet nature, to those who knew her well, Dotty is a happy-go-lucky, and a fun-loving lass. We like to remember her smile, fervent blush, and determined but pleasing personal¬ ity. Gloria Ann Nogueira 21 Highland Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a stenographer. Literary Club 4 ; Glee Club, Pianist 4; Comm’l. Club 4. Gloria is her name, but she answers faster when called “Lolly.” Her love for dancing kept the shoe factories working full time trying to keep her sup¬ plied with shoes. Every friend she meets becomes a dance lover after listening to her piano playing or watching her dance. She’s tops in typing and in looks. Her modest nature added to her quiet charm. Ernest Edward O’Brien, Jr. 55 West Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be an aviator. Basketball 4 ; Minstrel Show 4. Tall well-built, blue-eyed, and of fair complexion —the perfect description of our Obie—He loves the movies—you know, upstairs, back—better view—or something—When we were ever completely winded by a blow upon the back, we knew it was our powerful hoopster, Obie, getting playful—Even though we did suffer a good many sore backs, we were glad to be numbered among his friends. (Hhrrr H a himnitti that nhajirn nur rubs, 3Rnugfj-brnt thrm limit utr mill.” 40 Top Row, Left to Right John Edward O’Connor 41 High Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a mechanic. Minstrel Show 4 ; Basketball 4 : Literary Club 4. John always managed to whistle a merry tune even when report cards reached an all time low. We re¬ member when he whirled a pretty little thing about the dance floor and right into the path of one of his teachers! But we recall particularly, the royal red which passed over his embarrassed face—and just when he was trying to establish himself as the very graceful athlete—and dancer ! Conrad Joseph O ' Donnell 38 Thayer Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a forestry worker. Baseball 2, 3, 4 ; Basketball 2, 3, Capt. 4 ; Science Club 3, Treas. 4 ; French Club 4. “Ya gotta be a baseball hero—.” But he didn ' t want to get along with the beautiful girls. His main in¬ terest was sports, with studies running a close second. Connie is one of those fellows who completely win you over by his sincerity and earnestness. Josephine Lucille Oliva Off Cedar Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a hairdresser. Literary Club 4 ; Glee Club 4 ; Comm ' l. Club 4; Minstrel Show 3, 4. .To. with her dark wavy hair, her cheerful smile, and her pleasing manner is another of the best liked girls in our class. Her various demonstrations of her musical ability are pleasant memories. Your likeable qualities will lead to your door, Jo, many patrons who will be well paid for their visit. Leo Enrico Oliveri 9 Main Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a news photographer. Is this a rainbow which I see before me? Or is it —yes, it’s just Leo walking toward us. But is that a pair of green pants he ' s wearing? Surely his jacket isn’t a bright blue! Where did he purchase his striped socks? His jazzbow is red, too! But after that description, we still think he was one of our best dressed students. How we envied his jet black hair and pearly teeth ! Don’t blush now, Leo ! Bottom Row, Left to Right John Anthony Onorato 20 Genoa Avenue Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be an aviator. Football 3, 4 ; Commercial Club 4. The film colony was well represented here—They called this powerful football player Tyrone—and like his namesake, he disliked school—or something—He was quite popular with the girls—playing “hard to get? —But you know what you cannot have, you ' ll try the hardest to get—We think he knew this too— Really. John, don ' t you think you should have given some of us a chance? Lena Joanne Palma 15 Beach Street Extension Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a hairdresser. Dante Club 2, 3 ; Garrick Club 4; Literary Club 4 ; Commercial Club 4. Lena is a person of many secrets. Yes, she was one of the mystery women of our class. She stole away from room to room about as noiselessly as a mouse. But there were some who luckily knew the appealing girl. We envied their good fortune. Butch has shown the boys that all women aren ' t talkers. John Anthony Paradiso Art Photo Editor 36 Congress Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a navy aviator. O. L. I. Comm. Photo Editor 4 ; Science Club 3, 4 ; Football 2, 3 ; Dante Club 2 ; Literary Club 4. Johnny ' s love of photography was so ardent that he was awarded the Art Photo Editorship of the class. He certainly enjoyed doing his share toward making the classroom merry, and his frequent questions only showed his eagerness to increase his knowledge at every possible opportunity. James Vincent Parente 66 East Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a salesman. Dante Club 2 ; Comm ' l. Club 4 ; Literary Club 4. Here he comes, friends,—but don ' t rush him—he ' ll give you your turn—that is, if you wait long enough —He has piercing green eyes that hold your attention —He has a willingness to work—even though he didn ' t exercise it too often—but he still has it—loves fish¬ ing, hunting, and trapping—Even though he says that he is a bit stubborn, we never noticed it. Iflr lutmit mhat mr arr, but kmmt nut mljat mr may hr. 41 Top Row, Left to Right Preston Ellsworth Peaslee 11 Fells Avenue Homeroom A-l Ambition : To enter aviation. Literary Club 4. Pep is one of our most travelled students. On his journeys through New England, and as far west as Kentucky he must have made many friends, who found him as we did—full of pep, frank and earnest in speech, neat in dress, honest, and co-operative. Pep has an almost inaudible step ; he moves quickly with¬ out any loss of motion. That he is reliable and trust¬ worthy is positive. Bottom Row, Left to Right Margaret Patricia Pisarro 86 Prospect Heights Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a singer. Dante Club 2, 3 ; Literary Club 4; Minstrel Show 4 ; Glee Club 4. Margaret could always be heard singing or hum¬ ming some pretty little ditty. We should like to see that diary she keeps so constantly, for we know she is very frank in her opinions. She is very ticklish and at times could be heard “laughing out loud as she hurried by us in the hall . . . her high heels clicking noisily as she walked. Alfred Julius Petrilli 18 North Street Homeroom B-14 Ambition : To play for a popular orchestra. Give Red a guitar and a good bit of swing music and you ' ve cultivated his friendship for life. He with the sandy hair, blue eyes, and good features was quite an attraction. Perhaps the reason why he let his studies slide now and then was because he was quite a gatherer of news who could tell it quite convincing¬ ly. But let a teacher ask him a question, and silence would reign ! Arthur Pierson 48 Grant Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be an aeronautical engineer. Junior Science Club 3, 4 ; Basketball 3, 4. Arthur, familiarly called “Slickie , was well-known throughout the school. He is certain to be a success in his line of work and will make a great many friends as he did in school. He is very polite and trustworthy, he ' ll need those traits when he ' s caught for speeding ! My did he like to whizz by ! Lydia Grace Piscia 50 Medway Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a secretary. O. L. I. Comm. 4; Lit. Club 4; Glee Club 4; Gar¬ rick Club 3, 4 ; Dante Club 3 ; Ring Comm. 3 ; Min. Show 3. Lyd may be well described as our attractive little coed with the brown curly hair, pink cheeks, and with a walk like a soldier. She is meticulously neat and the perfect example of good taste in dress. Although she frowns quite often, her many assets overcome this small flaw. For these four years she has held our hearts by her pleasing personality. Bruno Peter Pittinari 7 Genoa Avenue Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a game warden. Literary Club 4. Brownie is a great lover of out-door sports. He could hunt, fish, and go target shooting all day long. He was seldom serious and delighted in playing boy¬ ish pranks on his friends. We sincerely hope that he achieves his ambition of becoming a game warden. Aim high, young fellow, for we know yo u will go far. Salvatore John Augustino Pilla 22 Spring Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition: To be an aviator. Football 2, 3, 4 ; Literary Club 4 ; Comm’l. Club 4. Hip—one, two, three !—How Scrapiron mowed them down on the gridiron ! We know you are wondering where he got his nickname. So did we. Well, it seems that Scrapiron collects antiques! (Or should we say—junk?) Hence— Scrapiron. This boy of the rugeed constitution is quite a dancer, too—And how he loved to listen to recordings! Anita Julia Porzio 26 Fruit Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a bookkeeper. Literary Club Treas. 4 ; Comm ' l. Club 4. Presenting Anita, who has championed our cause even when it resulted in her own loss. She was one girl in the class who didn’t like to trip the light fan¬ tastic, but preferred to go on long wal ks. Another point to make is that she worked hard to achieve her goal. We are certain we shall see her in future years as private secretary to a famed executive. “MMjii Bluntlii a matt. tubnar blnub ta inarm utitfjttt, £ it likr Ijia yranitflirr rut itt alabaatrr.” 42 Top Row, Left to Right Edith Ellen Pratt Hartford Avenue, Caryville Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be an office worker. Literary Club 4; Commercial Club 4. Je-rusalem—here she comes—But don ' t let her flashing dark eyes and fiery red hair fool you—She ' s really not angry at all—well, not much, anyway—es¬ pecially if she’s a t a barn dance—or in the midst of a dizzy whirl of the Virginia Reel—She enjoys mem¬ bership in the Grange—particularly the members— How can such a dance devotee dislike popular songs? Edith’s definitely different. William Garden Rae 30 Parker Hill Avenue Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a chemist. Science Club 3, 4 ; Garrick Club 3 ; Minstrel Show 2, 3, 4. Always ready for a good time—quite a dancer but does not go in for the ultra modern steps. He possess¬ es quite an artistic talent and was forever sketching. One of his favorite pastimes is conversing via tele¬ phone—A lion among ladies—winning smile, spark¬ ling wit—slightly lackadaisical—Here he comes, that big promoter— Smooth is the word for him. Lucille Laurette Ragonese 23 Sumner Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a secretary. O. L. I. Comm. 4 ; Class Sec. 1, 4 ; Lit. Club Treas. Glee Club 4; Dance Comm. 3, 4 ; Comm’l. Club 4; Dante Club 2, Vice-Pres. 3 ; Garrick Club 3, 4; Min. Show 2, 3. Sociable—prominent—alert—hardly describes our Lu—Now don’t blush!—Don’t worry!—“Wow!” but Saturday was a big problem—Her ability as a leader was admired by all—Lu, may she be as successful in the future as she was with us. Doris May Richards Co-Chairman of Senior Week 281 Main Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a buyer. Glee Club Vice-Pres. 4; French Club Sec. 4 ; Gar¬ rick Club 3, 4 ; Lit. Club Treas. 4; Cheer Leader 2, 3, 4 ; Comm’l. Club 4 ; Basketball 4. “Dodo”, the girl who keeps you waiting and who loves nice new cars with handsome young men driving them, is what we call a real friend, and leader. Her work as Co-chairman of Senior Week offered sufficient proof of this. Bottom Row, Left to Right Esther Marie Roberti 70 West Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a kindergarten teacher. Literary Club 4 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 ; Dante Club 2, 3 ; Minstrel Show 2, 3 ; Commercial Club 4. Pearl one—knit two—and out comes a colorful sweater for Esther. We marveled at all the pretty sweaters that she knit with her own little hands. She was the center of her group because of her ready laughter and a vast store of jokes. When she was not knitting, she was usually working on her “famous” scrapbook of movie stars. Mary Ann Rogers 20 Cherry Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a U. S. Senator. O. L. I. Comm. 2, 4 ; Garrick Club 3 ; Literary Club, Treas. 4 ; Commercial Club 4. Dignity personified—good sport in gym class—ran to school at last bell—made excellent grades in her school work—conscientious in ail respects—believed in standing up for rights when knew she was correct —and that was practically always—hated to be seen with curlers in her hair—an ideal friend and student Dorina Amilia Rosati 45 Cedar Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a librarian. Literary Club 4 ; Commercial Club 4. Bob Taylor’s fan number one—She talks about him —reads about him—dreams about him—has a whole scrapbook dedicated to him—She didn ' t look like a timid girl—yet, the presence of our super in the room took the thoughts right out of her mind—she could not say a word 1—when that happened, she must have been frightened 1 Charles Rubenstein 138 Purchase Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a musical arranger. Orchestra 1, 2. 3, 4 ; Band 2, 3, 4. Charlie is one of our musically inclined students. He lives up to his name in that he doesn’t care for swing music 1 To him, an opera brings as much de¬ light as an orchid corsage does to a high-school dam¬ sel at a Prom. His easy-going manner made him a real pal to his many friends. His spare time was equally divided between his music and the girl of his dreams. (??) “Nn profit promo wlirrr in no plraourc ta rn; Jn brief. oir, otuby what you moot affrrt.” 43 Top Row, Left to Right Claude Francis Ruscitti 299 Central Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be an aeronautical engineer. Literary Club 4 ; Commercial Club 4. Thinking or daydreaming of traveling occupied most of Claude ' s time. He never caused any undue noise, for he is the perfect example of good conduct. A lov¬ er of Mother Nature—usually going hiking in his spare time. He could often be found reading, for he is one of the most enthusiastic readers of our class. Without faltering too much he could tell a story and have it liked by all. Dorothea Rosalie Russen 42 West Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a social service worker. Garrick Club 3, 4 ; Glee Club 4 ; Comm ' l. Club 4; Literary Club 4 ; Minstrel Show 2, 3, 4. Sound of clattering heels—or a deep and hearty laugh—Of course, it’s Dot—Seen behind the wheel of a ’39-Buick—or with G. G.—Should we say—mostly with G. G. ?—A walking advertisement for ladies’ clothing—Thrives on scallops—Oh, how she loved her history ! ! ! Ercole Louis Sabatinelli 47 Franklin Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition: To be an accountant. Literary Club 4 ; Football 2, 4 ; Baseball 2, 3. 4. Anyone not knowing Sabat would think him proud and aloof. But we know that he is a true friend, quiet, dignified, never bothering anyone. He was often only recalling pleasant evenings in Whitinsville, for that town surely held a great attraction for him. He might well be called a walking advertisement, for Esquire. His excellent style was frequently comment¬ ed upon. Michael Sannicandro 68 Bast Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a good clarinetist. Theo-Harmon Club 3 ; Orchestra 4. A fellow ' s worth is best judged when he is a favor¬ ite with those who know him well. Michael is an ex¬ cellent musician, who plays both the clarinet and the saxophone. To his classmates, he appeared to be the quite conservative type, but whenever the occasion necessitated it, he was the so-called life of the party. You can be sure that his musical entertainment was appreciated by all. Bottom Row, Left to Right Michael Julius Sannicandro 9 Main Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a motion picture operator. Literary Club 4 ; Commercial Club 4. Sandy’s heart is in the theatre business—He prac¬ tically lived in the movies—Camera fiend—hates idleness—spent most of his spare time figuring out a speedy method to do homework—athletic type— traveled in Italy—visited in royal palace, saw the Pope, Mussolini, and the king. Wow! Salvatore Joseph Sannicandro 84 Prospect Heights Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be an electrical engineer. Literary Club 4; Commercial Club 4. The three famous Sannicandro ' s—Michael, Michael J,, and last but by no means the least—good ole Sully. Many times did he wonder if he were receiving the correct grades on his card. But Teacher made no er¬ ror. Neither do we when we call him our good friend. As our history teacher said, ‘‘All good things go in three ' s !” Grrr ! Peter Reno Schiavone 70 Central Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be an aeronautical engineer. Dante Club 2 ; Senior Literary Club 4 ; Baseball 4. Cheerful, ambitious—always ready to lend a help¬ ing hand—builder of model airplanes—mixer of chemi¬ cals—wearer of flashy ties and socks—One day Pete ' s cravat was so loud he had to wear a muffler—He also had his serious moments—“trig-solid” would cause anyone to have serious moments, if not something worse. Right, Pete? Mary Lorraine Schultz 2 Westbrook Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a medical secretary. Minstrel Show 3, 4; Gar rick Club 4; Comm ' l. Club 4 ; Literary Club. Here comes Mary, quite breathless, but looking as pretty as a picture and sweeter than sugar. She could always be found in the very center of every jolly gathering. Any of her Bwd-dies will vouch that she is the cutest little trick in school. We cherish the mem¬ ory of Mary when she appeared as a petite “Snow White” at our Prom. “Attb bn an aburraartra bn in taut,— £ trtur mightily, but rat aub brink aa frirnba.” 44 Top Row, Left to Right Mary Margaret Scott 55 Claflin Street Homeroom B-14 Ambition : To be a nurse. Literary Club 4. Delicate as a flower—and as sweet—jovial disposi¬ tion—likes to draw—clever cook—especially of de¬ licious chocolate cakes—likes to drive—particularly with a dark-haired person. Her dancing feet have won her a popularity which lasts not only at the dances. With her pleasing personality, she’ll be a splendid nurse. Grace Rose Smith 162 Congress Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a physical instructor. Min. Show 2 ; Basketball 2, 3, 4 ; German Club 4 ; French Club 4 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 ; Dance Comm. 3, 4. Gracie’s love of dancing and her other outside ac¬ tivities did not detract from her class work in any way . . . still they did play a part, we think, in her arriving late for the 8 A. M. bell. When we think of the term frank in her opinion,” we think of Gracie— candid to the last. Bessie Edith Stevenson 77 South Main Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a bookkeeper. Literary Club 4 ; Commercial Club 4. Here’s one of our shy, modest girls. Bessie, how¬ ever, was not quiet enough to go very far unnoticed. You see, she always smiled a cheerful greeting and seemed pleased when she was helping others. We think too that she has discovered that the way to a man’s heart is to bake him a delicious pie. What about it, Ai? And what about the crimson bloom in Bessie’s cheeks? Paul Victor Swanson 86 Spruce Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be an officer in the navy. In a quiet and unassuming way, Paul made an ex¬ cellent impression on us both as a student and friend. He has a good fund of common sense, an agile mind, and an appreciation of the values of life. That he is going to make a mark for himself in life is a fore¬ gone conclusion. Would there were more like him— a truly remarkable fellow. Bottom Row, Left to Right Robert Anthony Tacconi 56 Forest Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a draftsman. Literary Club 4 ; Commercial Club 4. To prove that travel broadens one, we offer Rabbit. He has travelled extensively throughout New Eng¬ land and plans to visit the New York World’s Fair this summer. His reserved attitude, however, has been his one weakness. We prophesy that he will make many friends at Worcester Trade when he enters there in the fall. Rabbit is well known for his unlimited knowledge of baseball. Aldo Peter Tarca 39 Hayward Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a naval officer. Literary Club ; Commercial Club 4. If the invention of the electric light was news— what would you call Tarca’s appearance in school on Monday? We ' d call it supernatural, for hardly a Monday passed without his seat being vacant. Yes, it was his dislike for oral topics. He, the lover of swing, baseball, and football, had his own idea of what a high school education should be. What was it? Francis Robert Tocchi 207 Main Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a football coach. Football 2, 3, 4 ; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Min. Show 3 ; Dance Comm. 3, 4 ; Glee Club 4 ; Comm’l. Club 4. Bob was the lad whom nothing bothered. The oc¬ casion was very rare when a shadow passed over his smiling countenance. Although he wa a the galloping ghost of the gridiron during the daytime, at night he was transformed into one of our best dancers. Gen¬ iality personified and a favorite of his classmates— that’s Bob. Alfred Anthony Tumolo 28 Mechanic Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be an architect. Senior Literary Club ; Football 2, 3, 4 ; Basketball 2, 4. We recommend Tony to the art staff of any pub¬ lishing house. His drawings of scenes from Macbeth on the boards in A-l were as highly appreciated and admired as he. Between his art work, collecting of stamps, working in a clothing store, and assisting us on our book, he was a busy lad ! How about a peek at your stamp album, Tony? ”3 art 1 umi atauh likr graijhuuufca in thr alipa, Straining upon thr atart.” 45 Top Row, Left to Right Jennie Eve Vendetti 39 East Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition: Nothing definite. Dante Club 3 ; Literary Club 4 ; Comm’l. Club 4. When Jennie made her appearance in her circle of friends, she brought smiles to their faces. Her hearty encouragement and constant application of good cheer made their spirits perk right up. Her easy going manner and optimism won her a bright spot in the hearts of her classmates. Notice that she hasn ' t yet decided what her ambition is. We won¬ der why. Bottom Row, Left to Right Sidney Werber Business Manager 36 Bancroft Avenue Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a business executive. O. L. . Comm. 1, 3, 4 ; Pres. M. H. S. S. A. 3, 4 ; Min. Show 2, 3, 4; Football 2; Science Club 3, Vice- Pres. 4 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 ; Ring Comm. Chrmn. 3 ; Dance Comm. 3, 4 ; French Club Pres. 4 ; Glee Club 4. Here ' s to Sid, a man’s man and a woman’s dream. His activities tell the story. Without this handsome, gentlemanly, popular, scholarly lad, . . . well, there just wouldn’t be an outstanding person in the class. Leo Verelli 60 Water Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a mechanical engineer. Literary Club 4. Our thoughts of Doc are : quiet and friendly—for¬ ever willing to put himself out for a friend—intense¬ ly interested in algebra and chemistry—fond—of, so very much so of the food box. Perhaps his frequent trips to the ice-box account for that excess of weight. Are we right, Doc? Helen Barbara Vignone 238 Central Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a nurse. Literary Club 4 ; Basketball 4. To Puckles “oral topics” were fatal words—the movies her delight—to us her pleasant laugh was a valuable tonic—the delight of the extra period—a lover of sports as well as the attraction of the dance floor—She always rewarded our compliments with that familiar blush and glowing smile—well do we remem¬ ber her trying efforts in the spelling bee— rubarb? or rhubarb? Donald Edward Webster 27 North Bow Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To manage a store. Literary Club 4 ; Commercial Club 4. Donald is one who is always looking for someone to engage him in a friendly argument. He probably gets the habit from chatting with his customers. A more polite and quiet person we seldom find. We’ll certainly miss that “cool as a cucumber” look which accompanied Donald wherever he went—in the class¬ room, on the street, or in his brother’s store. Marion Louise White 119 South Main Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a secretary. Theo-Harmon Club 3 ; Literary Club 4 ; Garrick Club 4 ; Commercial Club 4. Marion must hear “Louder, please Miss White, louder!” in her dreams, for her shy little voice could be scarcely heard during recitations. She therefore had to repeat most of her answers, which, incidentally, were usually correct. She has been with us since her transfer from Chicopee Junior High School and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed her company. Richard Alan Williams 18-A Prospect Street Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a mechanical dentist. Science Club 3, 4 ; Garrick Club 4. Calm, composed, sedate are three words which de¬ scribe Richie. Don’t let his frown deceive you. It is due only to his earnestness and deliberate way of doing things. If you ever want an argument look for Richie, well versed on mast subjects and especially chemistry. We know he will have no difficulty in making friends and meeting with success. Helen Eleanor Wonoski 29 Oliver Street Homeroom A-4 Ambition : To be a stenographer. Literary Club; Comm’l. Club. 4; Basketball 4. When Helen speaks, everyone stops to listen, for she has that sweet baby-like voice you’ve often heard snoken of. She blushes quickly, especially when some¬ one talks about her basketball playing. Well, we’ll have to talk about that now. She got right in the game and always came out victorious and smiling. Helen was as much at home on the dance floor as she was when playing basketball. “5Hr that arr in thr luuuarh of uur youth.” 46 £ mt? iit—®l|r GUaaa nf 1030 €uter: liho’a 10 hn (Strl log MOST POPULAR MOST POPULAR Mildred Knox Robert DeWitt MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED Mary DiBattista Louis Ianzito MOST CONSCIENTIOUS Sidney Werber Mary DiBattista MOST CONSCIENTIOUS MOST SERIOUS Louis Ianzito Mary Rogers MOST SERIOUS MOST ARGUMENTATIVE Louis Ianzito Rose Blascio MOST ARGUMENTATIVE MOST MUSICALLY INCLINED John Paradiso Mary Farese MOST MUSICALLY INCLINED MOST STUDIOUS Vincent D ' Antonio Athens Coniaris MOST STUDIOUS MOST HUMOROUS Louis Ianzito Anita Marcus MOST HUMOROUS MOST BASHFUL Robert DeWitt Ruth Anthony MOST BASHFUL MOST DIGNIFIED Conrad O’Donnell Irma Johnson MOST DIGNIFIED BEST DRESSED James Cooney Lydia Piscia BEST DRESSED Helen Vignone Louis Sabatinelli BEST NATURED Leo Oliveri Mary Farese BEST NATURED BEST DANCER Robert Tocchi Dorothy Alberta BEST DANCER BEST LOOKING Leo Fitzpatrick Lena Lasorsa BEST LOOKING Marjorie Jackson John Onorato “3 am nut in thr rull uf ruuunnn nmi.” 47 (Dypz!

To Frank C. Berry, our kindly and considerate principal, we bequeath our profound good wishes, our greatest esteem. To the respected faculty we bequeath our composite intellect which comprises some of the better brains of this era. To Miss Moore, that paragon of good nature, we bequeath the glad news that our scholastic career is terminated. To the genial custodians of our classic institution, Clem Moran and Frank Cahill, we give an automatic, perpetual motion broom, which we fondly hope will enable them to satisfy the most exacting of overseers. To the next editor of the O. L. I. we give Bob DeWitt’s corn cob pipe, a truly amazing source of inspiration and solace in the wee small hours of the morning when the O. L. I. is assuming form. To all undergraduates we tearfully bequeath the two mirrors which were always in constant use. To all future candidates for infield positions on the high school nine, we thoughtfully donate the free use of any of Mil¬ ford’s quarries as a practice diamond, guaranteed to rival the town park infield. To future undergraduates we leave a golden dual example of “the truth at all costs”, Joe Carlson and “Trapper Joe” Guad- agnoli, whose tales of their prowess with gun and rod were never doubted. To all those who become easily discouraged we bequeath our gift of perseverance. To all those with literary aspirations we bequeath one drop of ink, which, falling like dew upon a thought, produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think. To incoming Seniors we leave the magnificent paintings of our two artists, “da Vinci” Morgan and “Michelangelo” Tumolo. “ulhr mill! Brt’n fitaij anh hrar thr mill.” 48 To the dull-witted and indolent we give the keen mind of Louis Ianzito, the scholarly persistence of Mary DiBattista. To the Sophomores we extend the wisdom of years, a wisdom acquired during four long, instructive years. To all teachers of a mirthless nature we bequeath Fabian’s unparalleled ability to bring forth smiles. To all future girl athletes we will the athletic prowess of Helen Wonoski. To all those who have Hollywood inclinations we bequeath the peaches and cream complexion of Lydia Piscia. To anyone in need of an alibi we bequeath the store of them possessed by Maxfield. To those appreciative of good singing we give the mellow voices of the class songsters, Joan Luby, Mary Farese, and “Chilly” D’Antonio. As inspiration to all future Milford High athletes we be¬ queath Johnny Calagione’s undying “will to win.” To all and any who derive enjoyment from the sound of a hearty laugh we bequeath the infectious chuckles of Anita Marcus and Sidney Werber. To the Juniors we give without regrets all the works of Milton—L’Allegro, II Penseroso, Comus, Lycidas, etc.—master¬ pieces without equal. To all those interested in color schemes we bequeath the un¬ paralleled taste of Giardini. To all the aerial minded we do solemnly bequeath Jim Cooney’s height. “Jim how’s the air up there?” To Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer we offer the finest specimen of manly pulchritude on the eastern seaboard, Johnny Onorato. To the contentious we give John Paradiso who never shies from an argument. To the Freshmen we give all our pity—little do they dream the problems of the three years ahead. In memory of the goddess of the dance, Terpsichore, we be¬ queath the nimble feet of Dorothy Alberta and Leo Fitzpatrick. We hereunto set our hands and seals this twenty-eighth day of June, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-nine, in the pres¬ ence of witnesses and do hereby declare this to be mtr last mill attfc tratamrnt.

To them we extend our congratulations for its success. We all had a swell time! Junior Class Ring Chosen- Slight Change from the 1939 Ring The Class of 1940 was very enthusias¬ tic over the selection of its class ring. Al¬ though it was thought that the ring chosen by Class of 1939 was to be the standard school ring, this year’s design showed a slight modification. The sides of the ring are of a mod¬ ernistic style and on the face of the ring is the coat of arms of the House of Milford in England. This coat of arms consists of a lion, symbol of will power and the strength to fight. Above the lion is a crown and the school initials. The sides of the ring bear the class numerals, ’40. This ring was picked from the large selection offered, by almost unanimous vote of the Junior Class. It is our sincere hope that all future Junior Classes of the Milford High School will have as rfiuch pride and confidence in their choice as have the Class of 1940. The Committee which so excellently supervised selection of the ring was under direction of Chairman Israel Helfand. Junior Class Has Most Eventful Year—Social Activities Outstanding When we began our Junior Year on September 13, 1938 we found that our num¬ ber had lessened to 177 members, who were glad to return to dear old M. H. S. after a most restful and relaxing summer. While renewing old friendships and greeting new Freshmen, we were kept busy by our new teachers and the assignments which they took such pleasure in passing out. It soon became time for us to elect officers who would be dependable, capable, and of whom we could be proud. Election results announced Robert Frascotti to be President, and Ruth Moss Vice-President; Regina Calitri and Joseph Marcone were elected Secretary and Treasurer respective¬ ly. These were indeed excellent choices as in them were combined all the qualites mentioned above. Our social activities were outstanding. Our class was honored by having Kimball SanClemente chosen as interlocutor of the Third Annual Minstrel Show. This honor is rarely conferred upon anyone but a Senior. On December 2 our newly elected Dance Committee presented a social which not only provided an enjoyable evening, but which also proved a financial success beyond expectation. A climax to the social calendar was the Junior Prom on April 28, with 175 couples attending. When time drew nigh for us to don our class rings, symbols of coming matur¬ ity, we selected the one we liked best and certainly felt our Junior dignity when we wore them. The rest of the year we passed in deep study and concentration with the exception of the night in June when we gave a recep¬ tion to the Seniors. At this reception we presented a short but effective entertain¬ ment. Was it appreciated? We wonder. As we now near the end of this event¬ ful year, a little older, a little wiser, and perhaps a little more serious, we wish the Seniors the best of luck, and happily look forward to filling their places next year. “(Fhnu aprakrat utiarr tlian tljau art marr of.” 54 JUNIOR PROM Class of ’40 Has Outstanding Prom-- 175 Couples Attending At eight o’clock on April 28, 1939, the Junior Prom was held by the Class of 1940 in the John C. Lynch Auditorium. Blue and yellow dance orders, which harmonized with the artistically arranged decorations, were presented to the 175 couples attending. Boots’ Rhythm Maker’s ably furnished the sweet music. The daintily dressed maidens with their beaming escorts were received by the patrons and patronesses: namely, Prin¬ cipal and Mrs. Frank C. Berry, and parents of the students on the dance committee. Much praise is given to Mr. Fred A. Metcalf, who with the committee, helped make the prom so successful. As the hands of the clock pointed to ten the grand march started, and was led by the class officers and the dance commit¬ tee. But all too soon it was twelve o ' clock and the couples reluctantly left the scene of this most happy occasion. Even after they had departed, their voices were still echoing in the hall which has seen so many proms, but none which will be so well re¬ membered as this one.

We were amateurs of course, as this was our first year, but give us time and there’ll be one of the best elevens in the League, pro¬ vided we 1939 Sophomores are on it. No, there weren’t any of us on the first string because the coach had enough good upper classmen. Wait till they are gone however and our own classmates will be out there passing, punting, and rushing the ball, with the best of them. Baseball : We Sophomores have something to be proud of, when one realizes we have two regulars on the first team. This is Frank Gentile’s first year out, and his dexterity as a hitter and fielder has won him a steady berth. He covers any section of the field with equal ability. Also making his debut this year is Fred Sprague, another Sophomore who shares the pitching spotlight with the best in the school. Unless we miss our guess, Fred will not be one of the pitchers next year. He will be the pitcher. Basketball: Sorry to say, although we had some excellent hoopsters, they received little chance to play with the regulars. The greatest part of the J. V’s however was made up of Sophomores. By next year we should have the greatest part of our regu¬ lar team made up of Sophomores holding down steady posts. Nonsense Who was this guy called Caesar, Who wrote our Latin Books? I’m certain if he lived today, He’d get some nasty looks.

Green But Growing (See Page 43 in ’38 0. L. I.) Here they are again! Have they changed much? In comparing their pres¬ ent picture with that of last year, you will notice the absence of three of their previ¬ ous members. One of these absentees is Fred Jones, who has been honored with the presidency of the Hopedale Sophomore Class. Of the other two, one was absent from school the day the picture was taken. Barb Sails, we understand, would like to have been in the picture, but it seems Barb became lost somewhere in the labyrinth¬ like corridors of good ole M.H.S. and when she was found, it was too late to pose with the group. Oh! Well, Barb, come on time next year and you shall be included. The group seems not so green as last year and a little more grown. Notice those high intellectual foreheads. Soon they won’t be green at all. Pardon, one exception, one of tne group can grow and grow but he will always be green. That’s Jack Greene. Excuse the pun please. Watch for them next year. Bookworm’s Retreat The library recently reopened on the second floor of the “old building’’ has prov¬ en a great success! The room contains a splendid assortment of reference books, magazines, dictionaries, and encyclopediae. The Sophomores have shown that they con¬ sider this room an interesting one, by go¬ ing there every spare moment possible. Miss Kynock of the faculty is in charge and she sees that peace and order prevail at all times. This makes it possible for the students to do their research work undis¬ turbed. (Oh, Yeah!)

Is it the teacher’s ex¬ planation of some difficult problem which has so captivated their fancy, or are they aware of our cameraman and just posing? In Ifemnriam To Our Pal He has left us, our pal, and we miss him, The classroom is not quite the same. Bob Gilbertson always was in with the crowd Whatever the duty or game. He played on the square and never would squeal If he didn’t come tops on the score. He could win without bragging and lose with a smile, And never get peevish or sore. As a Scout he loved Honor and practiced the same, He was true to himself and to all. In your memory, Bob, we will cherish your name As a Scout who has answered the call. A Day With a M. H. S. Freshman—His Trials and Tribulations while at School At 7:59V2 A. M. we see our Freshman galloping swiftly up the stairs of his be¬ loved Alma Mater slightly out of breath. Into his seat he drops and tries to collect his shattered nerves. The prayer and the salute to the flag give him just time enough to catch his lost breath and gather up the necessary books, etc. He goes into algebra with a prayer on his lips, “any example but the fourth”—but, alas, the fates are against him and the teacher calls his name. He slowly wanders up to the board.. Ah! his first streak of good fortune, the long- awaited bell rescues him. He comes into his homeroom with good intentions but how can he overcome the wise and mighty fates? The room is in a turmoil; everyone, even our dignified Freshman is contributing to the noise. Quiet reigns at last just as the recess bell rings. Our Freshman attempts to reach the store where his old favorite “Milk Duds” are sold, but many upper classmen have the same idea and how can a lowly Freshman hope to outdo one of higher standing. He stops and thinks and thinks. Ah! a hope, no, a thought—football—a light at last; he’ll “buck the line.” Success. Food at last. He no sooner puts one into his mouth when “hark!” the unwelcome sound of the bell reaches his ears. After securing his book, head erect, chin in, and chest out, off he goes to con¬ quer the throes of Latin, but foiled again, our Freshman finds himself conquered at the start and this time, there is no bell to save him. Time marches on—bells, teachers, Milk Duds, algebra, and Latin come and go. At last at lilOYz, a weary and famished Freshman starts for home, anxiously awaiting the day when he will become a Sophisticated Sophomore. tGniuliueaa ta you tut ambition ' a lahher, J0 hereto the rlimber-upiuarh Uinta hia fare...” 62 The Freshman O.

To the Seniors To the many congratulations and fel¬ icitations you are receiving, we, the Class of ’42, humbly add our own. We sincerely hope that in the future you will make as good a name for yourselves individually as you did as a unit for Milford High. May Success and Happiness be always yours. We know that you will carry the honor of our school wherever you go, and that we will be proud to say, “he graduated from Milford High.” These Freshmen Basketeers were pretty good.

Oak, Lily, and Ivy Has Rather Unique Theme—525 Copies Published Soon after the organization of the 1939 0. L. I. Committee we met with Mr. Berry and our faculty advisers, Mr. Moran and Mr. Higgiston, whose words acquainted us with the responsibilities entrusted upon us by our appointment to this committee. We were now more eager than ever to begin the task of publishing this edition of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy. Our first problem was the selection of a suitable theme. Realizing that this year marked the three hundred and seven¬ ty-fifth anniversary of the birth of William Shakespeare, we decided to build our story about the life work of that immortal bard. Of course, as every year, our main pur¬ pose was to preserve by word and picture a lasting remembrance of our high school days. In striving to do that, we hope we have been successful. We trust also that our inspiring theme has added interest to this end. Our next problem, the one which de¬ termined the success or failure of the book, was concerned with finances. Equipped with the necessary credentials, we sallied forth in quest of prospective sponsors and advertisers. Under the guidance of Mr. Higgiston we adhered to the rules of sales¬ manship to raise the funds necessary for the publication of our year book. Our most important and difficult task came with “copy.” “Copy”, we learned from Mr. Moran, included pictures as well as printed matter. During this stage of our work we were temporarily deprived of the excellent guidance and suggestions of Mr. Moran. In his absence Miss Agnes L. Crane of the faculty met with us and sup¬ ervised the writing and correcting of writ¬ ten copy. Mrs. Kearsley and Mr. Higgis¬ ton aided us also in solving our photo¬ graphic problems. For all of them we have the deepest appreciation and we assure them that their time and efforts did not go unappreciated. At this time most of our copy has gone to the printer. As we lay down our pencils, we are aware that although the task was often tiring and discouraging we have been recompensed for our labors by the invaluable information and experience which we have received.

Senior Week Program Offers Fitting Finale to Our High School Days The long awaited week was here at last. Gaily we took our places in the Audi¬ torium to hear the program for our Senior Week outlined. James Cooney, the general chairman, led us in the Lord’s Prayer and the salute to the flag. Activities were now actually begun. There was joy and sorrow too intermingled with the realization that this would be our last assembly, but the sorrow was soon dispelled by the felicit¬ ous remarks of the underclass presidents. Mr. Berry accepted our class picture, presented by our president, Michael De¬ Cesare, and assured us that it would occu¬ py an honored place in the building. After singing the class song each Senior was presented with a token of remembrance of his high school days. We spent the re¬ mainder of the day on the town park where Ann Doyle and Lou Sabatinelli had organ¬ ized a program of sports for our amuse¬ ment. Senior Night found us serene and dignified as we prepared to enjoy the en¬ tertainment arranged by co-chairmen, Doris Richards and James Cooney. The Third Honor Essay was read by Lucille Ragonese; Conrad O’Donnell caused many smiles when he made known our Class Will and Irma Johnson intrigued us with the Prophecy. Festivities closed with the im¬ pressive and solemn dedication of our Oak, Lily, and Ivy to our beloved teacher and friend Miss Margaret Pianca. At the Theatre Party on Tuesday we once again showed off our various talents on the stage of the State Theatre. In the evening we were the guests at a farewell reception. Wednesday, our most important day was r eserved exclusively for Graduation. As we solemnly received our diplomas we resolved to ever live true to the ideals which were here set before us. The annual excursion to Nantasket on Thursday and our introduction into the Alumni on Friday evening ended a week which we will long remember. Other activ¬ ities, associated in our memories with Senior Week included the planting of the class tree, a reception to our teachers and a baccalaureate address. These and many more happy occasions climaxed our days at Milford High. “6� iurrt rrrrratimt barrrh, luljat bntli rnaur Hitt numhii atth hull tnrlanrbuht.. 70 Senior Week Committee Co-Chairmen Doris Richards James Cooney Secretary Dorothy Alberta Treasurer Winnifred Kiessling Chairmen of Sports Anna Doyle Louis Sabatinelli Chairman of Class Day Robert Eddy Chairmen of Refreshments Mary Schultz Anthony Femina Presentist Frances Carroll Chairman of Senior Night William Rae Associates Ralph Acquafresca Margaret Anderson John Calagione Joseph Carlson Michael DeCesare Ada Dominici Lew Fitzpatrick Jenny Leo Mary Malnati John Neal Gloria Nogueira Conrad O’Donnell Preston Peaslee Irma Johnson Anita Porzio Paul Swanson Robert Tocchi Marion White Leo Fitzpatrick, Doris Richards, Jim Cooney, and Jenny Leo work busily.

Benefits of Student Association Evident—Parents’ Night Again Successful When we came back to school in September, something seemed missing in school life, until on September 29, a notice announced that the Milford High School Student Association was conducting a dance in the Auditorium that night. Well, that made things more regular. We were wondering when the Association would recommence its good work. As usual, the “social” was well attended and the ar¬ rangements were made under the care of the Association officers. Throughout the year the Association endeavored to carry out its usual functions. It presented many socials which encour¬ aged and promoted a feeling of good will and cooperation among students. It sent tokens of sympathy to students confined to their homes because of illness or in whose immediate family death had occurred. The funds of the Association were used for anything that was judged to contribute to the pleasure and welfare of the students. During the course of the year, thirty- four baskets of fruit and twenty-two floral tributes were sent out. At the annual Christmas party, thirty baskets were raffled off. The holders of the lucky tick¬ ets received everything necessary for a Christmas dinner, from turkey to cranber¬ ry sauce. When it came time to welcome the New Year in, the Association again came to the front by sponsoring a New Year’s Eve Party, and by buying some new swing musical recordings that we might dance the New Year in to the tune of the latest song hits. The greatest social success of all was the Parents’ Night in May, when four hundred guests, including parents and students, heard a program of entertain¬ ment featuring the High School Orchestra. Following this, delightful refreshments (including ice cream) were served to all. The high light of the evening was the special dance dedicated to Mother and Dad, when we boys and girls escorted Mother and Dad around the floor to a medley of old and new waltzes. Ever functioning, always providing for our benefit and pleasure, the M.H.S. S. A. has proved its value and will continue to do so, we are sure, for years to come. “Hr ta ltirll path tljat ia ittrll aatiafirh.” 72 Association Officers President Sidney Werber, ’39 Vice-President Joan Luby, ’39 Secretary Claire Adams, ’39 Treasurers Marjorie Jackson, ’39 Kimball SanClemente, ’40 Alfred Pantano, ’41 Joseph Abretti, ’42 Activities Committee Notice the strained expressions on Bob DeWitt, John Grillo, Mike Eghian, John Ohannessian, and Sid Werber in the picture above.

O’Connell, explaining the funda¬ mentals of stage technique, fascinated the eager members, who probably imagined themselves to be the future Barrymores and Cornells of the stage. As Miss O’Connell continued her ex¬ planations, we recalled vividly the day when we journeyed to Worcester to see the hilarious Merry Wives of Windsor. After the play, we tried not to appear too thrilled when allowed to visit back stage and con¬ verse with the actors. That night our dreams were pervaded with visions of our¬ selves as Shakespearan heroes and hero¬ ines. We are suddenly recalled from our pleasant reminiscences by an announce¬ ment from our officers: President, Robert DeWitt; Vice-President, Rachel Cronin; Secretary, Marjorie Jackson; Treasurer, Claire Adams. Now, as we go into rehearsal for the grand finale of our club activities, we know that under Miss O’Connell’s expert direc¬ tion, our play, Fly Away Home will be a great success. We reluctantly leave the club with happy memories and a greater appreciation for dramatics and the theatre. ®ljr ylaya thr tinny Ibltrnuu uir’U ratrb tlir rmtsrtrnrr of tltr ftttty.” 74 Bttm tt—CElubs iHtttpr; dJmttnr rmur (Elub Junior Science Club Scores Again Not even a hurricane could stop us from joining the Junior Science Club. On that very windy day in September, old and new members alike, returned to register for membership. At our first meeting, this group of future scientists, who don’t seem to believe in woman suf¬ frage elected Robert DeWitt, President; Sidney Werber, Vice-President; Robert Eddy, Secretary; and Conrad O’Donnell, Treasurer. At our bi-weekly meetings, lectures were given by the club members on modern scientific subjects. These talks were orig¬ inal and interesting. One speaker even placed before us his plan for using water as a fuel for automobiles. The crowning event of the year, how¬ ever, was the Science Exhibit in April, when projects, arranged by the members, were explained to our visitors. Sidney Werber’s talk on “Air Conditioning,” and Kimball SanClemente’s experiments with dry ice were especially interesting. We played hosts to our guests at Christmas and again at our May Party. All in all, the members enjoyed a most educational and sociable year, thanks to the interest and efforts of Mr. Fred A. Met¬ calf, our adviser.

We all, however, join in whole heartedly when we sing the melodious French songs to the accompani¬ ment of the phonograph and the effect est tres beau, though a bit disturbing to neigh¬ boring classes, n’est-ce pas? When we receive Le Petit Journal, our French paper, we eagerly turn to our Favorite column containing the French cross-word puzzle. C’est tres interessant.

We fondly recollect our Fete de Noel, when we feasted on Mademoiselle Pianca’s delicacies. We shall always treasure the novelty souvenirs which she herself pains¬ takingly made. In the future, although we may forget a little French, the memory of her kindness and generosity will ever remain with us.

Mr. James V. Zurlo, our esteemed director, translated A Reckless Husband from the original play Un Marito Nuvolosi and af¬ forded us the privilege of comparing the similarities between the two languages. We enjoyed both versions very much. Our regular monthly meetings were conducted by our officers, President, Ralph Acquafresca; Vice-Presidents, Evelyn Cenedella and Mary DiBattista; Secretary, Frances Carroll, and Treasurer, Alfred Pantano. At each of these meetings we exhibited our scrapbooks containing arti¬ cles relative to Italy and her language, and we are now anticipating the awarding of a prize for the best collection. Honorary membership in our club was this year extended to Miss Margaret Pianca, a friend of our group, whose in¬ terest in our work was so much appreci¬ ated. To all future members of our club we extend our wishes for the continuance of its success in future years. Top: Some lively action is taking place between Ralph and the Officer of the law.

Theo-Harmon Club Attends Opening Night of Opera Early in September, under the lead¬ ership of Supervisor of Music, Miss Helena F. Swift, the Theo-Harmon Club was re¬ organized for students interested in music. A successful year was enjoyed under the guidance of our officers—Achile Cistoldi, President; Philip Catusi, Vice-President; and Cecelia M. Elder, Secretary-Treasurer. The first part of the year we devoted to the interpreting of the principals of music and during the latter part of the year, we learned to form chords harmoni¬ ously. Attendance at the opera was once again the highlight of the club’s activities. This year the occasion was even more bril¬ liant because the club members formed a part of the gay throng of music lovers who made up the scene of splendor at the gala opening night performance of Verdi’s Falstaff, featuring the celebrated Ameri¬ can baritone, Lawrence Tibbett. Prior to the opera, we were dinner guests of Miss Swift at the Copley Plaza Hotel. In June, the annual reunion banquet was held. At this time past members gathered to renew friendships and to greet us, the newest members. “(Eliru muair with lirr atlurr aumth Uflttlj aprr y help hath Irnft rriUTHH.” 78 rrur ti—GUuba ?Etttpr: fS pmor’I(Slpp CElub Senior Glee Club Always Pleases “All right—ready—sing!” A crescen¬ do of tone and one is listening to the mem¬ bers of the Senior Glee Club during one of their weekly rehearsals.

At present, plans are progressing rapidly for the graduation program. The featured song will be the beautiful and ever popular Blue Danube Waltz. Not ever the numerous, tiresome repetitions can dim our love for this favorite of Strauss waltzes. A note of thanks must be extended to Gloria Nogueria, our class pianist, who patiently accompanied us even in our most trying moments. In years to come when¬ ever we raise our voices in song we shall fondly recall our happy days spent in prac¬ tice with the members of the Senior Glee Club. Top: Miss Helena F.

Graduation The most cherished memory we have of this club was the sponsoring of a trip to Boston, where we enjoyed a brilliant stage performance of Shakespeare’s Macbeth ,— to say nothing of the delicious dinner which preceded it. To make possible such an outing, which we early in the year had anticipated, each of the classes elected a treasurer. Mary Rogers, Doris Richards, Anita Porzio, Lucille Ragonese, Alfred Kempton, Robert Eddy and Frances Carroll were the ones chosen to transfer to the Milford Sav¬ ings Bank the deposits made by the students each Monday. These deposits were intended to help defray the expenses incurred during Senior Week. We who took advantage of this op¬ portunity to save were indeed glad of our foresight when we became conscious of the many expenses entailed in graduating. In June, a total of $2010.47 was returned to the students—many receiving as much as thirty or forty dollars. Mere thanks do not express our appre¬ ciation to Mr. Harold M. Moran, who di¬ rected this club, and to Mrs. Moss, who so graciously gave her attention to our small account. (Truf; uaur utratta tn line. Put muncii tu tlti| purae.” 80 § rrnp ti—(Clubs iEnlpr iR.

One hundred and seventy pupils signified their interest by register¬ ing for membership that evening in March, when Miss Eva Burns of the com¬ mercial department, outlined her ideas for the club and welcomed ours. A nominating committee chose these officers to direct this youngest of all our clubs: President, Louis Ianzito; Vice- Presidents, Alfred Guidotti and Joseph Connearney; Secretary, Regina Calitri; Treasurer, William Filosa. Together with Miss Burns and the Social Committee these officers collaborated to plan an edu¬ cational and entertaining program for us. We listened intently to an interesting talk on the Benefits of Insurance by Mr. Owen Keenan at one meeting, and later socialized with an Amateur Night. Many such profitable talks are anticipated for the future, which, we feel, will give us an insight into the various aspects of com¬ mercial life and better enable us to choose our careers.

We were introduced to many new scientific experiments, hobbies, socials, and we even undertook a program of ath¬ letics. The officers of the club are: John Chapman, President; Mary Colligan, Vice- President; Anita Speroni, Secretary; and Joseph Vitalini, Treasurer. They made plans for a Christmas party which was en¬ joyed by all the members of the club and also by members of the faculty. The activities of the club did not tend toward the social side only however, for many field trips were made to local busi¬ ness establishments where the contribu¬ tions of science to modern life were illus¬ trated and explained. The Milford branch of the New England Telephone and Tele¬ graph Company, the Public Cleansers, and Kampersal’s Dairy were among the places visited. From these excursions we gleaned a greater appreciation for our science course and the unexplored paths it pointed out to us. We all express our appreciation to Mr. Benjamin F.

This was Exhi- tion Night and the members of the Hobby Club were all present to tell about their interesting meetings in the newly formed club. Miss Claire D. Lynch was the fac¬ ulty adviser who organized this group, realizing the pleasure and profit that might be derived from the advantageous use of leisure time. Regular monthly meetings were held, for each of which one particu¬ lar hobby furnished the theme. At the first meeting these officers were elected: Presi¬ dent, Robert Ahearn; Vice-President, Elaine Kusmin; Secretary. Jeanne Marie Lancisi; Treasurer, Howell Mann. Follow¬ ing the election Edward Wilson gave a practical demonstration of the developing and finishing of films. At succeeding meet¬ ings toys were repaired for the Daily News Toy Chest, stamps were exchanged, and airplane models made and studied. Enthusiasm was never lacking at these meetings for self-expression was the keynote and these Freshmen “hobbyists” certainly love to “self express!” Top: When we tried to photograph this group, pert Elaine turned the camera on .us.

Concert by Orchestra Well Attended “Keyed to a high pitch” not only with our instruments but also with our hearts, we entered the Auditorium to “tune up” for the last rehearsal before our annual concert. This concert was to be the sixth presented by the M.H.S. Orchestra, and we were especially anxious to make it a mem¬ orable one. That evening, with the down beat of Mr. Lancisi’s baton and that familiar nod of his head, we started marching along with the Cadets on Parade. Through waltzes, gems from Gilbert and Sullivan operas and patriotic selections, we carried the attention of the audience on to a thrill¬ ing climax in the beautiful and appropri¬ ate “God Bless America.” The reception accorded our program leads us to believe our work has been well liked, and our efforts appreciated. We of the Orchestra realize that this, as well as our other successes, is due largely to our conscientious and highly esteemed director, Mr. Ben C. Lancisi, Jr., who spared no ef¬ fort to perfect our playing, and to unite us together into a smoothly functioning unit. In order to do this he had to spend long hours in rehearsal with us.

Under the capable leadership of their much-ad¬ mired director, Mr. Ben Lancisi, Jr., the members have repeatedly proven them¬ selves worthy of the praise which has been showered upon them. With their snappy outfits of red and white, led by the color bearers, Kimball SanClemente, ’40, and Israel Helfand, ’40, and the peppy Drum Major, Joan Luby, the band made a tremendous hit at the Ameri¬ can Legion Parade in Worcester last August, and again when they participated in the huge Armistice Day program at the annual Framingham-Mjlford football game. On Christmas Eve, the spirit of “peace on earth, good will to men” was brought to many shut-ins by the band as Christmas carols were played in different sections of the town. After parading again in April, this time in the Boy Scouts’ pa¬ rade, the band and the orchestra joined forces for their annual concert on May 26.

He has come to mean a great deal more to us than a mere athletic director. In the playing of the various seasonal sports, he corrected our errors and blunders in a patient manner, and always emphasized sportsmanship in victory or defeat. Is it any wonder that Milford High had such a successful football season? Just look at this husky bunch of boys. Ever notice that Pepsodent Toothpaste smile on Captain Calagione (24). It is justified after his playing at Natick.

As a group, the boys were big and powerful, and when Coach Steeves cast an appraising eye over the unit, it seemed that prospects were ex¬ ceptionally good. The coach envisioned a successful season and he was not disap¬ pointed. Several weeks were devoted to condi¬ tioning and schooling candidates, and by the end of the month the varsity had taken form. They had a lengthy repertoire of plays, most of which, if properly executed, would produce touchdowns. There was to be no permanent captain, but individual game captains were named—an innovation which worked out very satisfactorily. Clinton was Milford’s first opponent. The game took place in that town, and al¬ though the home team put an experienced and hefty eleven on the field, we emerged victorious by a 13 to 6 score. Carlson and Calagione scintillated for Milford. Carlson hit the line like a trip hammer. On the defense he was as impregnable as “Stone¬ wall” Jackson. Calagione, a fast and shif¬ ty back, reeled off several long gains. The victory play was a forty yard pass from Carlson to Calagione. In the line Ken Cameron tackled like a demon, while Tocchi, Milford’s field general, directed the attack intelligently. We played the traditional Columbus Day opponent in Marlboro and again romped to an easy victory with a score of 25-0. The Milford offense functioned smoothly. The line charged hard; the ends and wingbacks blocked cleanly; the tail¬ backs followed their interference and ran aggressively; and even the aerial game worked perfectly. Rappazzini and Car¬ bone, Milford’s ends, blocked viciously, while Cameron tackled with the certainty of a law of physics. Milford certainly had a great day. Next came the Natick game. It was a thrilling, hard-fought contest. Two pow¬ erful, talented units waged battle. Milford matched power with power and inserted a little finesse as a clincher. Calagione played a remarkable game. The Milford line opened some big off-tackle gaps and Calagione popped through them and into the secondary for long gains. The final score was Milford 12-Natick 6. Once more Cameron sparkled on the defense as a roaming center, while at guard, “Scrap- iron” Pilla lived up to his nickname. Milford had now won three straight and Norwood was our fourth opponent. This school had a fine eleven. Offensively they struck early and demoralized Milford’s defensive forces. Coach Steeves’ boys ex¬ perienced their nadir in this game. Every¬ thing went wrong and Norwood ran wild— final score Norwood 33, Milford 0. Clem Moran, genial M. H. S. custodian, accom¬ panied us on this trip. Perhaps he jinxed the boys. At any rate he did no more chap¬ eroning. On November 4 Milford played Hud¬ son in a night game, in Hudson’s beautiful municipal stadium under arc lights. It was strictly a defensive contest, neither side being able to score. Macchi and Bia- getti played strong games at tackle posts without avail. Lured by the novelty of a night game, almost four hundred Milford These smiling managers are locally known as Maxie Maxfield, Jimmie Crivello, and Chilie D’Antonio. They were ever on the spot with the water bucket and first-aid kit. “®n apart iinutlh hr aa tfiiinua aa In utnrk.” 91 rooters journeyed to Hudson for this con¬ test. The big game of the year—against Framingham, arch rival and worthy foe— came on November 11. Milford sent down over fifteen hundred rooters including our eighty piece band. In this game we at¬ tained our finest form of the year. Every¬ thing worked. The passing attack was de¬ ceptive and successful. The running offense clicked. Milford ground out yardage through a stubborn Framingham line— scoring twice and making one conversion. Framingham pushed over two touchdowns and made one conversion also. Thus the final score was 13 to 13. This however, was a moral victory for Milford, as Fram¬ ingham had entered the game highly tooted and highly favored. Johnny Cal- agione skirted the ends with the speed of a Jesse Owens. Wild Joe Carlson played like one of the Furies. Pilla, Macchi, Cam¬ eron and Comolli all played themselves out before a crowd of five thousand fans. Upper Left: Joe, Scrapiron, Bob, and Johnnie take time out to pose with the pretty damsels, Anita, Lil, and Joan. The girls seem quite pleased too. Bob and John certainly are deserving of a little relaxation after their hard work on the gridiron. Bob’s expert direction of the various plays was well done. He even fooled us sometimes. John’s abilities as a football star are well known and he was so appreciated by the team that at the end of the season, he was elected captain. Lower Left: The team is leaving on one of its trips. We wonder if those bags con¬ tain a good sized lunch. Upper Right: Here’s a rapid action shot of the Framingham game. This was a day never to be forgotten. When the team set out in quest of Framingham’s scalp, about fifteen hundred Milford fans accom¬ panied them. Although we did not win, we tied Framingham 13 to 13. Some of Calagione’s runs, as shown above, helped to make this possible. Loiver Right: “You see, Bob, this is known as a stiff-arm.” Coach looks on while “Chinsie,” the manager, gives Bob Tocchi the inside dope on how to play foot¬ ball. That Bob evidently profited a great deal by this information was evidenced in his playing. “(0, hu liyht a font Jflill ttr’rr utrar nut tltr rurrUtHtitut flint.” 92 In a game played in the mud of a wretched old field, Milford was taken over the hurdles by Maynard, undefeated champions of the Midland league and rec¬ ognized by Boston sports writers as one of the best teams in the state. Milford was dwarfted by the mighty Maynard eleven and was not helped any by the injuries sus¬ tained by Calagione, Carlson, Cameron and Macchi early in the game. No offensive gestures whatsoever were made by Milford. This game was kind of anti-climax. The final score was Maynard 27-Milford 0. The season was now at an end and the record stood at three wins, two ties, and two losses. Considering the calibre of the teams played it was a record of which Mil¬ ford might well be proud. Even though many regulars are to be lost through graduation, Milford, we know, will again come up with another well coached team, a credit to themselves and the personnel who direct them. Upper Left : Here is a little broken-field running at Framingham as Captain Cala¬ gione, number 24, takes the ball. Lower Left: Our cheer leaders Bob Eddy, Dottie Alberta, Alice Scott, Doris Rich¬ ards, Ruth Moss, Peggy Chapman, and Leo Fitzpatrick pose with the friendly Fram¬ ingham yell masters. They were not the only ones who gave their all in cheering, however, for the Milford rooters gave full¬ est cooperation. Some became so enthusi¬ astic in fact that they lost their voises en¬ tirely. There was more than one in school next day who, due to a hoarse throat, was as talkative as Charlie McCarthy after Bergen had left town. Upper Right : This is a scene in the Marl¬ borough game, when, due to a freakish trick on the part of old Mother Nature, it was like playing a summer football game. Notice the man standing about in shirt sleeves. Though this was a hot day for football, it didn’t affect that passing com¬ bination of Joe Carlson and John Cala¬ gione. “Scrapiron” Pilla as usual proved the appropriateness of his cognomen. Cameron, who was roaming center, again played a brilliant defensive game. How¬ ever, boys, we still think it was pretty hot out on that field. Lower Right : Here’s a closeup of our two battered heroes, Bob and John. 3fnr 31 am arnt’h an atrmut ....

Varsity Basketball Team In Fast Stepping League This season, for the first time in ten years, a varsity basketball team was or¬ ganized. Despite the fact that our team was immature and had not played varsity before, we at once entered one of the fast¬ est stepping leagues, the Bay State League. Coach Steeves realized the competition which he would meet up with and immed¬ iately started to get organized. After there had been a couple of “cuts” a Varsity, with “Red” O’Donnell as captain, and a Junior Varsity, known as the “J.V.’s”, with “Chilie” D’Antonio as captain, were formed. From the beginning the boys showed up well, fighting several closely contested games, and beating Norwood 42 to 31, and Framingham 19 to 18. All in all we think our team did very well and orchids are due Coach Steeves for his excellent work in whipping the team into shape capable of meeting such com¬ petition, in such short order. We prophesy that next year Milford will be up with the best of them, as after graduation we shall still have a nearly com¬ plete team. Of course, the “Flying Red Horse” will be missed by all. “Mttlj tjnupa uf strrl.” 94 £ mtp ii—Atlilrtira iEitlrr: CSirl Haakrtballerfi Girl Basketeers Have Much Fun Despite Losses “Stars in Your Eyes” but not in the hoop game; these sister athletes of ours had the right spirit, plenty of pep and vig¬ or, but, well, the opponents were just a little better, that was all. In intra-mural games Milford always won, of course, that is why we liked them so well, but in games with Hopedale High and Bellingham High we came out on the underside of the scores. But we did make some baskets— remember the one “Slippy” made? She still rolls her eyes when reminded of it. In the inter-class play-off at the end of the season the Sophomores defeated the Seniors captained by Helen Wonoski, high scoring ace of the big sisters, and climaxed the victory by challenging the Senior boy victors. Scorning our abilities they con¬ sented to play with their right hands tied behind them which left only their left hands free for basket shooting. In spite of this handicap the boys won. We con¬ soled ourselves with the thought, “You can’t be wrong all the time, and maybe next year —” This optimism however holds little consolation for us ’39ers, who have played our last game for Milford High, and so we are resolved to look for new worlds to con¬ quer. Top: Here are more of the feminine athletes of our class. Bottom: This group shows the underclass girls who tried to compete with our basketeers. These girl basketeers are: Standing: Doris Richards, Virginia Andreotti, Alice Scott, Aud¬ rey Kusmin. Seated: Anna Doyle, Helen Wonoski, Captain Anna May, Claire Adams and Gracie Smith. It might be interesting to note that the girls here are all Seniors with the ex¬ ception of Virginia, Alice, and Audrey, which just goes to prove the prowess of the Class of ’39.

Captain Louis Sabatinelli is seated in the exact center of the first row. On his right sits “Slugger” Red O’Donnell and on his left Joe Carlson. These are three of the Seniors who, with Hachey and Bibbo, will be missed after graduation. 96 Milford High Team Closes Successful Season; O’Donnell, Heavy Hitter With only a few veterans remaining from the 1938 team, Coach Steeves started early in the season to discover new materi¬ al, develop his seasoned players, and fill in the gaps created by graduation. He eventually succeeded in rounding out the squad for the stiff twenty-game schedule that included competition in both the Mid¬ land and the Bay State Leagues. The season officially commenced May 1 with a twilight game on Town Park with Dedham High, a contest which we took by a 5-4 score. Chuck Hachey, showing im¬ provement over his 1938 form, gave only six hits, while Dedham contributed to its own defeat by making some costly errors. On May 4, Norwood came to town and won a 4-1 victory as Ed. Leary baffled the boys with a blinding fast ball. Connie O’Don¬ nell took the sting from the defeat and averted a shutout by stealing home in the last of the ninth. On Saturday we travelled to Fram¬ ingham for our third Bay State League contest of the season. Making his debut as a high school pitcher, Sophomore Freddie Sprague kept eight hits well scattered, while his mates were making thirteen time¬ ly blows. Connie O’Donnell, with a single, double, and triple again starred at bat for Milford. The final score was 8-5 in our favor. On Wednesday, May 10, the team lost an extra inning contest to Maynard on Town Park by a 4-3 score. Milford knotted the count at 3-all in the ninth, but the stub¬ born Maynardites came back in the elev¬ enth to score a run and take the game. This 4-3 jinx pursued us into the game with Natick two days later, and again we lost in the eleventh. On Saturday of the same week we went to Hudson, and for the third suc¬ cessive game the score was 4-3, but this time we were on the long end of the count. Making his first appearance on the mound, Walter Ray pitched steady ball and had the situation well in hand throughout the game, while his mates, having overcome their early weakness in the field, gave him excellent support. Playing away from home May 17, the team rolled up a commanding lead against Marlboro in the early innings of the con¬ test and won an easy 13-6 victory. O’Don¬ nell was the shining light in this game, leading the offense with two singles, a triple, and a home run, while Nick Julian contributed a pair of doubles. Returning to battle in the Bay State League on May 19, the team combined timely hitting, brilliant fielding, and steady pitching to defeat Walpole by a 6-3 score. The following day we lost an un¬ usual game to Framingham on Town Park. Our team gathered a dozen safe hits from Zinck, the Framingham pitcher, but could produce only two runs, while the boys from Framingham made four runs on six hits. In addition to handling eight chances at second flawlessly, Louis Sabat- inelli whacked out three sharp singles. We went to Maynard on May 24 and averaged our early season defeat by win¬ ning a decisive 10-3 victory over the lead¬ ers in the Midland loop. Freddie Sprague allowed but seven scattered hits, handed Maynard its first defeat in eleven starts, and put Milford back into the fight for the league championship. Suffering a sudden Louis Sabatinelli makes a desperate attempt to reach second in the Dedham game here. He had to slide but he was safe. 97 let-down after this rousing victory, the team dropped a 9-3 decision to Dedham on May 26. The less said about that game the better. On Saturday May 27, the team went to Norwood to meet the highly touted leaders of the Bay State League. After building up a comfortable lead in the early innings the team weakened in the seventh and Norwood squeezed through with a 10- 8 win. Rappazzini and O’Donnell with three hits each led Milford’s heavy but unsuc¬ cessful attack on Leary. On Memorial Day about 4,000 people saw Milford High upset a favored St. Mary’s team by a score of 6-3. Sprague held the free-swinging Saints to four hits, while his mates seconded his efforts with exceptional support. Gentile and Rappaz¬ zini led Milford’s limited but effective bat¬ ting attack on Mantoni, the Saints’ ace hurler, and Bob Frascotti made a pair of game-saving clutches in right field. Showing no signs of a let-down after the tense St. Mary’s game the team went on a hitting spree the next day against Marlboro and won to the tune of 12-3. The Upper Left : Captain Louis Sabatinelli has the boys all drawn up at attention and is giving them their instructions for the coming game. Maybe he’s telling them his own secret method of getting hits in a pinch. He certainly knows how, as was proved by the Milford-St. Mary’s game. Lower Left: Let’s see who will be next at bat. It’s Red Oates. Red, who will be a Sophomore next year has done very well in his position, and should be on the first string in the future. Notice, while the others are making up their minds to bat, Red is losing no time getting there. Upper Right: Joe Carlson is getting some assistance in the donning of his catcher’s togs, while Coach Steeves is at the same time giving him instructions as to what kind of pitches to call for in the coming in¬ nings. This is Joe’s first year as catcher for the team and his last in high school. Joe has done very well. Lower Right: The first game of the sea¬ son with Dedham was won by Milford 5-4. This was a fast and close game right to the very end. O’Donnell started off the first game of the season and the first hit of his long record with a circuit blow. 98 boys from Marlboro could do little with the offerings of Chuck Hachey, while our team pounded out fifteen solid hits including two doubles, two triples, and a home run. The second game with St. Mary’s was a closely fought battle in which the out¬ come remained in doubt until the last put- out of the ninth inning. Our local rivals preserved their early advantage and finally emerged with a hard earned 4-3 victory, but only after Milford had repeatedly threatened to overcome the Saints’ slight lead. The victory by St. Mary’s evened up the town series and necessitated a third contest which will be played at the end of the season. At present writing the team is battling for the championship of the Midland League and still has two games to play. By virtue of a 6-3 victory over Clinton on June 7, Milford climbed into second place and came within hailing distance of Maynard. If the boys continue to show the same fighting spirit that has character¬ ized their play in previous games, they may well end the season in a blaze of glory and win another Midland League Pennant for Milford High School. We all hope they do. Upper Left : We’re off on a long bus trip to an out-of-town game. The boys are well fortified with the bags full of lunch. John O’Brien accompanies us as usual. No baseball trip would be complete without our good friend John. How about the football or basketball games, John? Loiver Left : The team trots out onto the field for a little warmup practice before the game. Blond Gus Eden appears to be more interested in things outside the dia¬ mond. Our most handsome John is watch¬ ing the man at bat very closely. John al¬ ways was the strong silent type. Notice that profile! Upper Right : Here comes the “Flying Red Horse” charging down the baseline. Red’s capacity for long strides and his mighty swinging ability were two of the greatest assets to the team. There is no doubt that Red was fast on the bases. Why, he almost was entered as a one man track team at the Bay State Meet in Dedham. Loiver Right : This bench scene between the innings seems to show relaxation from the tension. The coach points out errors to the boys and tells them how to play their positions. He also watches the bat¬ ters, and when men are on bases he sees that the coaches are on first and third. “jltumulb hr luuijhtrr fur a mmtth. . . 99 It 4 L V 100 fgtysfK it - Il |l II hi - — 101 SPONSORS Mr. Almorin 0.
