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.

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 Helen Arleen Cassinelli 12 Short Street Homeroom A-l Ambition : To be an air-hostess. 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. Margaret Loretta Chapman 44 Franklin Street Homeroom B-14 Ambition : To be a dietician. Literary Club 4 ; Comm’l. Club 4. A lover of bright flashy socks—capable of giving a terrific screech at times—loves swing—dislikes sweet music—good sport—excellent dancer—a blushing colleen—dislikes the mornings—loves the (K) nights —likes to cook—delights in being sociable and mak¬ ing her many friends happy. 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. Louise Ann Cipriani 28 Glines Avenue Homeroom A-2 Ambition : To be a comptometrist. Literary Club 4 ; Glee Club 4. Small and petite—dynamic as a package of T.N.T. —never a dull moment—mainstay of cheering squad —constantly in trouble and liking it—talks with her hands—once wanted to be a kindergarten teacher— Who would ever think it?—Remember Slip as the blind woman at the Junior poverty dance—and the first Freshman social when the lights went out? Slip doesn’t. Neither do we. “QDiir mirla muu arr mill ' d.” —Sill 30
