THE AFTERMATH 1939 13 EDWARD PHILIP FARON “Actions speak louder than words.” Eddie, although small, gets into all kinds of trouble, but seldom fails to come out on top. Ralph Gardner is his target at present— peor Ralph. Class Day Speaker; Dramatic Club (1); Radio Plays (1-2); Aftermath Committee (4). EMMETT BERNARD FINK “A friend is never known till a man have need.” Emmett is the most highly respected member of the class, and is looked upon more as a father than as a classmate.

RALPH EDWARD GARDNER “Change the name of Arkansas?

We are sure it will be an ideal spot to rest after a long day’s work. ERNEST JOSEPH GEORGE “There’s a time for all things.” Ernie likes to spend his spare time in the hallway, and is not afraid to share his thoughts with anyone. He has been active in sports off the team more than on, but his efforts are usually praise- worthy. Dramatic Club (1-2-3-4); Baseball (2-3-4); Football (4). MARJORIE HILDA GESELIUS “My wit is thine.” “Swede” has an answer to everything. She can be found studying her shorthand every spare moment she has.

She has a very pleasing personality, and is always willing to give a helping hand. Dramatic Club (1-2); Glee Club (1-3). FRANK EDGAR KAWOLIS “Look ere you leap.” “Squaka” spends his spare time drawing cartoons and studying machinery.

MARY ELIZABETH KEARNEY “How much we gain who have no claims.” Mary came from Commerce to Millbury High, where she has ac- quired a host of friends. Oral recitation bothers her, but when not in class she is very calm and talkative.
