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 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 Miriam Niles Bullard 10 Forest Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be a journalist. French Club 4 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 ; Science Club 3. 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.

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.
