SMITHACADEMY 15 Statistics Who ' s the cause of all the neighbors complaining? Yes, to be a Harry James Henry Kugler is training! As an athlete in S. A. he surely did score, And as mechanic in his father ' s garage he did even more. Julia Niewinski, short, dark and zippy, In that black Oldsmobile looks rather kippy, As for a Marine, he ' s the center of attraction All in all, the Cadet is the bigger part of the fraction. Edward Remiszewski, known to us as Rummy. Tried hard in Business Arithmetic not to seem like a dummy. The Assembly hall with the Freshmen girls was his favorite spot, And as business manager on the school paper he surely did a lot. Helen Kacinski, our class valedictorian, Makes the rest of us feel similar to a moron, As Editor-in-chief she did her best, There was hardly a day she had left to rest. As an office helper she does very well, And Dot Majeskey ' s giggle from afar one can tell, Her illuminating smile is really killing, And getting heck from the Principal is what she calls thrilling. This short, jolly girl whom we all call Chubby, I ' m sure she thinks Bunny will make a good hubby. Her outburst of laughter can be heard from afar, And as captain on the basketball team Phyllis Zembiski was a star. Stacia Slovikoski, rather tall and quiet, When she gets going, she ' s quite a riot. As treasurer of our class, she always did well, Our gratitude to her is hard to tell. Paul Dickinson, whom you seldom find sad, Who dares say he isn ' t a good-looking lad? As an athlete on our team he certainly did score, And as president of our class he did even more. Alec Ciszewski, better known as Toppy On the dance floor is quite hoppy. In classes he couldn ' t wait for the bell to ring, And as for girls, he had many on a string. Who is this girl known as Steeks? Who on the phone each night for two hours speaks. A tan Studebaker is her greatest delight, It ' s Irene Harubin, who ' s on the go each Saturday night. Frank Osciak, the glamour boy of our class, On the basketball floor sure was fast. In Problems class he liked to debate, And to get into the Navy he cannot wait.

14 PURPLE AND WHITE ECHO than any of the other phones I ' ve seen. It has candy in it, that you can nibble on while you are talking with that cer- tain Sophomore girl. Alexander Ciszewski — Toppy, you ought to be indebted to me for life. Here ' s a skeleton key that will fit any lock in the house, any time of the night. See? You won ' t have to wake up your kid brother now. After all, the kid needs his rest, too. Henry Kugler- — Henry, we tried to get you a trumpet, but you know how priorities are. The closest I could get for you is this bubble pipe. You can ' t play I ' m Forever Blowing Bubbles on it, but you can do something much better. You can forever blow bubbles. Frank Osciak — Please don ' t get angry. It ' s that dumb clerk again! We asked for a real fishing line, and she gave us a spool of thread, instead. Do you think you can use it? Robert Sawicki — Bob, we are leaving you a package of hair pins. Notice, I said hair pins, not bobby pins. In case you have to set that wave, you ' ll have to use these, for bobby pins are practically out for the duration — priorities again, you know! Leonard Toczko — Jazz bows are nice Leo, but v e know that this tie would make you even more handsome. You won ' t mind wear- ing it to look more handsome, will you? Paul Dickinson — You certainly did a good job of catching in baseball. And just in case you ever want to play again and don ' t have the equipment, here is a part of it. It ' s a mask, although there isn ' t too much to it. It will still help, even though it only keeps your face from getting sun- burned. Edward Remiszewski — Rummie, look here! A pretty red bow! And it ' s all your own. Now you won ' t have to snitch any of the Freshmen girls ' bows! After all, stealing doesn ' t take you on the road to heaven. Isn ' t this a salvation? PHYLLIS ZEMBISKI ' 43 DOROTHY MAJESKEY ' 43 Theyll Never Forget ANNA BURDA The good marks in United States History RICHARD BELDEN The hour-long conversation on the telephone LUANA EBERLEIN The dates with the Coast Guard PAUL DICKINSON The honor of being president of the senior class IRENE HARUBIN What she learned in United States History HELEN KACINSKI The thrill of being chosen valedictorian HENRY KUGLER His uses of big words DOROTHY MAJESKEY When she was chosen for prize speaking JULIA NIEWINSKI Playing the piano FRANK OSCIAK The charming freshmen girls ROBERT SAWICKI The thrill of wearing his new cream flannels STACIA SLOVIKOSKI The good times bicycle riding FRANCIS SKOCZYLAS His eagerness to join the U.

16 PURPLE AND W H I T E ECHO Jeanne Wickles, our tall, quiet, classmate, Most every morning to school is late Her job is a clerk in the five and ten, And at square dances she prefers farmer men Mary Cybulski, that fair-haired lass, The first to be engaged, of all in our class! She ' s found her soldier, She has her ring, We ' ll give her a cake, And hear the wedding bells ring. Her ambition is to guard the sick in bed, She ' s studied hard to get ahead, So here ' s to her success in future days, And may Luana Eberlein always win her sailor ' s praise. Richard Belden, another tall, dark, and handsome lad, Because of leaving S. A. he is very sad. He ' ll miss the H. A. girls, of that we are sure, But the summer vacation we hope will serve as a cure. Leonard Toczko is certainly not studiously inclined, But somehow he always managed a couple of B ' s to find. That handsome car he ' ll miss by his side, When in an Army jeep he finds he must ride. Robert Sawicki, the ambitious boy of our class, Has been the beau of many a lass. As one of our prize speakers he did his part, And for the future he has made a great start. Let ' s give praise to Anna Burda, our salutatorian, Whose quest and ambition is to combat with historians. She ' s typed our school paper, and rates pretty high, She ' ll be leaving us soon, so let ' s say goodbye. As she ' s joining the WAAC ' S, To take her crack at the Japs. Francis Skoczylas, the proud sailor of our class, In his Navy uniform is an eyeful for any lass. In school he often made the teachers cross, But now, only when he ' s on a furlough, can he be boss.
