Janies B. Davis Watch out girls, here comes Jim Davis. He’s a great kid with a wonder- ful sense of humor and all he says is “My mama won’t let me.” She’s let you run for track though didn’t she? (That’s why girls haven’t caught up with him yet.) See you on the track Jim! ! Track 1 , 2, 3, 4 Bowling League 4 Paul E. DeCourcy Who would guess that we have the making of a future mechanic in Paul? In spite of his retiring na- ture, Paul is always quick to make friends and mix in with “the gang.” Ann M. DeLuca Quiet and gentle in all her ways, Success to you Ann, for many many days, And a special cheer for your talent in ceramics! Junior Achievement 3, 4 Pep Squad 4 Guidance Club 4 John A. DeLucca You don’t find one like our “Duke” everyday. Our foremost drummer and be- loved football addict has the terrible habit of ma- king friends, and friends, and friends. We’re sure to hear of our boy at a later date. Football 1 , 2, 3, 4 Mech. Drawing Club 3 ( Pres.) Track 2 Thomas V. D’Entremont Tile reticent blonde from 102 is Tom. We will al- ways remember Tom for bis extreme quietude of na- ture; But those of us who pierce through the outer shell find a really wonder- ful person underneath. Track 2 Hockey I Michael J. DeNofrio “A good name is rather to be chosen than great rich- es.” There are few people who have a personality as Mike’s. Very outgoing, he gets along well with every- one and always has some- thing worthwhile to say. Sandra M. Devaney “What is beautiful is good, and who is good will soon be beautiful.” Truly a model student, Sandy is the type of per- son who can do no wrong. One can always find Sandy with a group of kids laugh- ing it up and having a good time. An honor roll student who excels in all her studies, Sandy exem- plifies the best in the class of ’65. Dramatic Guild 3 Art Club 3, 4 ( Pres. 4) Homeroom Rep. 3 Observer Rep. 3 Junior Achievement 4 Observer Art Staff 4 Meta Art Staff 4 Itaymond B. Dixon Always on the go wheth- er in the bakery or driv- ing a truck, this lively character can usually be found, after hours, where the fun is. Ray may not be the tallest boys in the class but he packs one of the biggest wallops. D.E.C.A. Club 3, 4 Laura L. Doringer We’re now firm believ- ers in that old adage, “Good things come in small packages,” after meeting wee Laura Lee, the girl with the attractive person- ality, cheery smile and happy disposition, who can be seen running about the corridors stopping here and there to chat with her many friends. With these qualities Laura is sure to make the world a happier place in which to live. Dramatic Guild 3, 4 Guidance Club 3, 4 Observer Literary Staff 4 Observer Adv. Staff 4 Meta Adv.

Patricia L. Crane One of the quieter girls of our Senior class, who is most sincere with a personality to match. She is one who makes friends and keeps them for life; if you are one of the lucky people to be numbered among her true friends, you will always be able to count on Pat. Her ambi- tion is to become a medi- cal secretary — a profession, we’re sure, she will be a credit too. Cornelia M. Crean The META received a great contribution when Connie joined the art staff. Between sketches she manages to find time to help the incoming freshmen get to know the rules of the new high school. In each issue of the Observer a little bit of parchment is dedicated by Connie’s hand. Dramatic Guild 3 Guidance Club 4 Observer Art Staff 4 Meta Art Staff 4 Garden Club 3, 4 John F. Croali Maybe a cliche, but very true — tall, dark and hand- some. John was a favorite at P.H.S. His warmth and friendship won’t flicker out in the hearth of our me- mories. Football 1 , 2 Walter J. Cross, Jr. Wally originally a Re- vere boy, shines the hall- ways with that red hair of his! Coming from West Peabody on these chilly mornings each day makes his face the same shade, but . . . That cold couldn’t be too difficult for him be- cause he manages like a champ on the ice during the hockey game. His fu- ture seems directed towards Civil Engineering and the class of ’65 wishes him the best of everything in it. Baseball 2, 3, 4 Meta Literary Staff 4 warn Janet P. Curreri Janet is one of the most athletic girls attending P.H.S. , this year. She is an active member of the ever-increasing-in-popularity Ski Club. She is able to swim through the water with the grace of a dove flying through the air and she twirls her baton as easily as a master magician performs his feats of skill. As you can see, Janet is a sports enthusiast during both the winter and sum- mer months. Baton Squad 2, 3, 4 Glee Club 3 Ski Club 4 Junior Achievement 3 Music 4 Marilyn L. Curtis Marilyn is small, sweet and shy looking, but don’t let appearance fool you. Once she starts talking there’s no stopping her. She’s a lot of fun and she really keeps things jump- ing. It would be pretty quiet around here without Marilyn, so don’t change one bit, girl. And don’t work to hard at that typing, you’ll have sore fingers! ! ! Duane A. D’Agnese Duane, who seemed to be in the stands during the football games, more than on the field, can’t decide what the futures’ gonna be. He plays the guitar and there ' s always a chance . . . Well, look at George Harrison! Football 3, 4 Track 3,4 Dramatic Guild 3 Ski Club 4 Mech. Drawing Club 3 Kathleen E. Daly Anybody hear a noise? Well if you listen hard enough you may hear Ka- thy Daly. She’s cute and does a great job as an Observer representa- tive, but if you don’t watch for her you’ll never know she’s around. We’ll be looking for you, Kathy. Ski Club 3, 4 Guidance Club 3, 4 Dramatic Guild 3 Junior Achievement 3 Meta Literary Staff 4 National Honor Society 4 Office Pagette 4 Elizabeth A. Crowfoot Cherry Hill, New Jersey was a little less bright when Liz moved to Massa- chusetts. Beethoven never sounded so good until Liz began to tap away on the ivory keys. If she does as well in college as in P.H.S., we can count on honors galore for her. Ski Club 4 Library Staff 4 William F. Dalton Between explanations of why he hasn’t his excuse for absence, Billy still seems to find time to en- gage in basketball, base- ball and hockey. Not that it isn’t the most enjoyable thing to nass th time. Bill, but without those notes things can get upsetting. Everyone’s still trying to figure out how Bill Dalton happened to live on Dalton Court!! Well, this is Massachusetts, so . . .

Kathleen M. Downey “You stand in your own light.” Wearing her radiant smile every day, Kathy is quick to bring cheerfulness wherever she goes. Intent in purpose, K.D. is always successful in whatever she endeavors. “When the go- ing is getting tough, the tough get going.” Guidance Club 2, 3, 4 Mela Asst. Bus. Mgr. 4 Junior Achievement 3, 4 Meta Typing Staff 4 ( Head ) Pep Squad 3 David A. Dziedziak That he was studious, we praise him, — that he was mannered, we respect him, — that lie was gentle, we honor him, — and that lie was a being of true qua- lity, we love him. A boon to our class, our city, the futu.e — Dave. Thomas A. Doyle His buttocks must have been constantly exposed to fire because he never stay- ed still. Red was always the life of the class. Cer- tainly none of his fellow- students will forget him. Baseball 1 , 2, 3, 4 Football I James D. Drajjo An easy-going, friendly guy, Jim attends machine shop and is a good student. His hobbies include hunt- ing, fishing and especially customizing his ’57 Ford. With his skill he should make a fine machinist. Vocational Club I, 2, 3, 4 Marlene M. Dumas Here is a cute little blonde whose interests range from horseback rid- ing to an occasional motor- cycle stint. We feel certain of her future success and ask her to keep that ap- petite for fun. Dramatic Guild 3 D.E.C.A. Club 4 Walter F. Dunajski Unless Wally gets that “53” Chevy of his run- ning, he may have to be a walking commuter to Mass. Trade. But we trust his talents and know he’ll get there safely and graduate successfully. Patricia A. Elliott Robert G. Ellis Gary W. Eno Natalie C. Eastman “Nicki” as she is affec- tion aly nicknamed by her friends is everyone’s friend. She always has something constructive to say in any situation and is quick to help a friend with a problem. Dramatic Guild 3 Observer Art Staff 3, 4 Although very quiet, Pat has a fine sense of humor and is well liked. She en- joys Spanish and French and hopes to become a translator. Being a pro- ficient student, she should have no trouble in reaching her goal. No one could call Bob a bashful ellow lor lie’s ever ready to make himself known no matter how strange the crowd. No one on the football squad will forget him — we doubt any of his classmates will. Football 1 , 2, 3,4 Guidance Club 4 There is never a dull moment when hot blooded Gary comes around. Once settled down, we’re sure that this tall good looking classmate will make a fine future for himself. Ski Club 3 Meta Adv. Staff 4 Guidance Club 4 Art Club 4
