10 PURPLE AND WHITE ECHO FRANK KOCHAN Wimpy This good-looking senior comes from Hatfield, as do most of our good-looking boys! While in S. A., Frank has become a well-liked fellow. He has been outstanding in extra-curricular activities — especially sports. In his freshman and sophomore years he excelled in baseball, soccer, and basketball. During his senior year he played basketball and soccer. As one of our top scorers on the basketball team, he won much popularity with all students. He was also a prominent member of the Student Council in his junior year. Frank has a great heart interest in South Deerfield. Can we guess why, Frank ? It seems Wimpy has a hard time trying to keep awake in school. Could that certain girl in South Deerfield have some- thing to do with it.- ' CARL MAJESKEY Jake Carl Majeskey, one of our outstanding classical students, is also the only senior boy who belongs to the National Guard. Carl is president of Student Council and vice-president of our class. He belonged to the chorus and boys ' glee club for four years and was an outstanding soccer player for three years. He likes music — he plays with the Five Aces — and guns. His hobbies are target practice, banjo playing and going to Holyoke — but not for dancing. Aren ' t we right, Carl ? CARL NARTOWICZ Chocolate Carl Nartowicz, one of our students from North Hatfield, was a commercial student for three years and an agricultural student in his fourth. Carl was outstanding in the Vo-Ag department and was an able represen- tative in contests in judging fruit, vegetables, and stock at fairs and at University of Massachusetts. He represented S. A. in the annual F. F. A. speaking contest held in West Springfield this year. He was in the chorus and boys ' glee club for four years. Carl didn ' t like to give orals in English class, but did like to flirt with the girls in the back row. JEANETTE NIEWINSKI Jet Another popular Bradstreet girl is Jeanette Niewinski. In her sopho- more and junior years she was our capable class secretary. Because of her speed she was a typist for the school paper and also a high-scoring forward on the basketball team in her junior year. She was picked for the Annual Prize Speaking Contest in her junior year and won second prize. In the senior play she made a hit when she played the role of Barbara, a typical teen-ager. Her efficient capabilities made her the vice-president of the Student Council and also a typist for the school paper and yearbook. As a cheerleader she vigorously cheered our team and especially Johnny, her heart ' s desire. On the class trip in April, Jeanette, we think, had a mar- velous time especially on our free nights!

He became captain of the basketball team during his junior year and has held that position throughout his senior year. As captain he really showed his ability and did his best to keep the team going. In his fourth year he took part in the play A Date With Judy. We all agree that Johnny is a very popular boy in Smith Academy. Most of his leisure time is spent with a certain girl from Bradstreet !

Dick was also a member of our yearbook staff in his senior year. Aside from this, he showed interest in athletics and played both soccer and base- ball in his sophomore year. He rates high with a girl named Ruthie, whom he met on our class trip; and if you ever want to hear stories about our trip, Dick should be able to tell you many. EVELYN KACINSKI Evie Evelyn Kacinski, one of our brilliant honor students in the classical course, comes from Bradstreet. She belonged to the chorus and girls ' glee club for four years. She was on the school paper staff as a reporter her first and second years; associate editor her third year and co-editor her fourth year.

LAURA PELC Gus Laura comes from Hatfield and is also one of the quiet girls in Smith Academy. She has taken the commercial course throughout her four years. She became one of our best cheerleaders in her junior and senior years. Most of her attractiveness is her beautiful hair. It really catches one ' s eye. Laura will never forget the wonderful time she spent in Washington and the late hours she spent with the girls in Room 211. Nor will she ever forget those sailors who tried to date her at Glen Echo Park in Washington. DOROTHY SKARZYNSKI Tweetie Dorothy Skarzynski, who is our first honor student, also comes from Hatfield.

Because of her studious ambitions in her senior year she continued as a member of the Pro Merito, and became co-editor on the school paper, a business manager on our yearbook staff, and the D. A. R. student. When April came, she also went on the Washington trip. If you want her to smile, just mention Henry and she will show you what attracted her to his eyes. BERNARD WENDOLOWSKI Corner Bernard Wendolowski, who comes from Hatfield, has, like all of us, been interested in both the glee club and chorus during his four years in S. A.
