STOUGHTON HIGH SCHOOL HELEN SPILLANE Spillie Helen hasn ' t much to say, but she does her little bit. She was Secretary of the class in her Junior year and was President of the Home Economics Club in her Senior year. Nor have committees lacked her presence. KATHLEEN QUINN Kay Kay is tall, slender and a typical dark- eyed beauty. She has a habit of ijetting ses- sions, but she manages to find time for clubs and committees. During her Senior year she has been Secretary of the Home Economics Club. MARGARET FOSTER Missy Missy believes in being a help instead of a hindrance. She was the busy Basket- ball Manager during her Senior year, and also during her Senior year she played Goal on the Hockey Field. She has be- longed to the Dramatic Club, French Club, and Home Economics Club. ESTELLE JONES Estelle In a recent contest, Estelle was voted the quietest girl in the class and she certain- ly lives up to her description. However, the French Club and the Glee Club can vouch for her presence. EILEEN WELCH Eileen Eileen has aspirations of becoming a nurse. Did someone say, God help the patient ? Oh, no, she is not at all like that, even though she does drive the Ford rather recklessly. But she performs her duty as the Stock Room Girl in an orderly way. ELINOR JACKSON Jackie Jackie has dramatic ability. She was Mrs. Carroll in the Senior Play and is soloing in the Cantata. She has rather worn out the floors, carrying the attendance slips every morning. HELEN ZAISER Helen Helen wants to be an accountant and is going to Burdett ' s. She has belonged to many different clubs and has made her numerals in Basketball. Patronize Semaphore Avertisers MARGARET JOYCE Peg Margaret is a quiet girl with a con- tagious grin. She has been on various com- mittees and has been faithful in her at- tendance at the Home Economics Club for four years. Peg ' s ambition is to be a nurse. MARY MORRIS Red Mary is noticeable throughout the school because of her carroty-red hair. This adds to her popularity, however, and she has been voted the It girl of the Senior Class. Besides being on several committees and belonging to several clubs, Red has found time to join the Honor Roll. EVANGELINE MALINOSKY Vangie Judging from the amount of noise Van- gie makes, one would think she never does anything. But this is not the case — she be- longs to the French Club and has belonged to various other clubs throughout her four years. OLIVE WILSON Ollie Olive is the class aristocrat, as we dis- covered when she performed her role as Mrs. Smith-Porter in the Senior Play. Could she high-hat the people! But Olive isn ' t really like that. She is a living adver- tisement — Gentlemen Prefer Blondes ! MARJORIE AMERY Marj Marj hasn ' t made much noise during her four years at High, but we all know she ' s here. Rain or shine, Marjorie does her daily dozen by walking to school way from the wilds of West Stou hton. ELIZABETH WEBSTER Beth Beth is one of our outstanding ath- letes. She has made letters in both Hockey and Basketball, and Captained the Hockey team in her Senior year. She was also chos- en for the All-Boston Hockey Team. She has had more than her share of Committees and Clubs and has performed her duties admirably. Of course she lives up in the Rural District, but who said good people couldn ' t be found in the Sticks ? We sometimes wonder why Beth seems so in- terested when anything connected with farming is mentioned in Biology class. Page Nine
