THE GOBBLER-1946 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL CARMELO S. MANGANO “Some villain has done me wrong.” Carmelo was this year’s Momo of Room 18, but he managed to survive Al’s best pranks, even when the back of his chair fell off.

Eventually he will join his brothers in the plumbing business. ELEANOR V. MARLAND “The joy of youth and health her eyes displayed, And ease of heart her very look con¬ veyed.” Eleanor spent four years at Johnson after attending so many grammar schools that it would be impossible to name them all. She is going to the School of Practical Art. She likes to spend her spare time dancing.
