Page 8 THE SEMAPHORE CARL RYDER Sharlie Sharlie is rather inconsistent. First, he is with us, then he ' s gone. Now he ' s back again. He, too, lent his melodious voice to the Glee Club. Outside of that he ' s a mystery. He intends to enter aviation school. Happy landings, Sharlie! EUNICE PAINE Noonie Tall, dark Eunice is an active student of the Commercial course and has many friends. She has perfect, flashing, white teeth and they make her smile a radiant thing. Her lithe tallness make her an excellent center on the basketball team and she has received letters in that sport. Eunice has a very pleasant, low- speaking voice that is easy in the ears. Perhaps this is the result of her membership in the Glee Club ! The French and Dramatic clubs list her among their members, too. This last year she served in the Senior Picture Com- mittee. Eunice, as yet has no vocational plans, but we imagine that she will soon be some- body ' s stenog . MARJORIE SMITH Marge There is something different about Marjorie — something refined and cultured. She has an inherent sense of niceness and is charming to every one. Because of her devotion to her art studies, Marge has found little time for extra activities at the school but she makes up for this by her achievement in studies. She is a fine painter and we predict a brilliant future for her. Marjore is easily distinguishable in a class by her cameo-clear features and will- ingness to recite. That last part shows her in her true colors ! ! HARRY F. DOULL Harry is another newcomer, having arrived here from Dorchester two years ago. Han-y is what we call big all over and this makes him shine in baseball and football. People are still talking about his wonderful acting as Mr. Vare in the Senior play. It was a difficult part and he handled it exceedingly well. LYLE MORRILL Shrimp Lyle is short and dark and has dimples when he grins. That crack will probably kill him as he seems terribly shy and modest. He is a member of the gang from North Stoughton and is very popular among them. Lyle has considerable ability in baseball but has never gone out for it in High School. He seems rather subdued in Home Room but is altogether different outside. Like a great majority of people nowadays he hasn ' t made up his mind as to his future career. RUSSELL HAMPE Russ Russ is the most popular boy in the Senior class. It is not hard to see why. He is not only liked by the girls because of his good looks but also by the boys because he is r egular . To look at him we would know that he plays football — and well, too. He has received three letters in that sport and one in baseball besides being an honor student. This last year he has stepped out of his shell of reserve and made himself so popular with the girls that we are afraid they might spoil him!! Russ will someday be an outstanding horticul- ture and landscape architect. PAUL KEARNS Baron Paul takes the cake for being the best wise- cracker in the class. On first appearance he seems quiet enough although there is a mis- chievous glint in his eyes which belies this. His curly brown hair seems very wayward and eludes all his attempts to subdue it and this gives him a harrassed expression. He is well- liked by the entire group and was elected treasurer of his class while a Sophomore. That same year he served on the Hallowe ' en Dance Committee and proved very reliable. Paul says his future is uncertain because who ever heard of a certain future? KATHERINE CONNELL K K is petite and highly temperamental. This is what makes her so interesting and out of the ordinary. She is very talented in the histronic line as was shown by her finished performance in the part of Vi in the Senior play. We hope she will continue with this work as she would like to attend Emerson ' s School of Oratory. Katherine has the features of an actress — clear profile, lovely skin, and expressive hands. She is quick as a flash and sometimes says cutting things without thinking and is filled with remorse afterwards. This does not detract from her charm in the least. Here ' s wishing you luck, K . HELEN NAGY Not only is Helen among the most popular girls but she also ranks among the most beau- tiful. Her lovely dark eyes are a cause of envy and admiration among the girls. Helen has a smile for everyone and is charming to all — something rather uncommon in these days of depression. She has been an honor student in all her four years and has been employed as an assistant in the principal ' s office. Because of her modesty not eveiyone knows that she is the most efficient typist in the school and has the highest speed of typing in her class! That is an achievement. Helen wants to go to some business school. Here is a girl who will go a long way and do big things.

THE SEMAPHORE Page 7 EVELYN TAY Evie Here ' s a little girl who has suddenly grown tall in the last year, and is she glad! Evie has a small, perfect little face with nice eyes and a lovely complexion. Her blonde beauty created quite a sensation when she appeared in the cast of the class play as the thweet girl friend of Dickie. We ' re not the only ones who think Evie is adorable — there ' s a certain somebody — who said Canton? Evie has brains, too! She is an honor pupil, and received a pin for typing sixty words a minute! ! Her wit and sweetness make her one of the most popular among both boys and girls. Evelyn belonged to the French Club and was considered quite a nuisance in that august organization. GRACE D. MUELLER When we hear that name we ' re interested. Grace is a very lovable sweet girl and promi- nent in the Class of ' 33. She is tall and slim and do the short girls envy her in evening dress! She has very lovely silky brown hair with which she is never satisfied — isn ' t that always the way? Captain of her basketball team this year she led it through a victorious season. Grace has received four letters in sports since her entry into High School — two in basketball and two in hockey. This makes her one of the star athletes among the girls. A slight attack of appendicitis prevented her from obtaining another letter in hockey last fall. Grace was the head of the girls ' gradua- tion committee and is a member of the Latin and S Clubs. She is going in training as a nurse and we know her patients will adore her. JENNIE McEWAN Jen Good old Jen! Here ' s a girl whom S. H. S. will be sorry to lose. Have we had fun with her! A born wisecracker , Jen can take it. She brings humor into every situation and always looks on the bright side of things. Her only failing is her gum-chewing. There will be one thing Jen will miss when she leaves and that is her U. S. History — she loved it so! Jen has twinkling blue eyes — or are they green? In about two years look over your hairdressers and you may find Jennie among them. Go to it, gal. Here ' s to you ! HELEN LIGNICKIS Libby Libby is a great worker for the type room, and should certainly be a success at Burdett ' s, where she intends to go after graduation. She has been quite active in school, belonging to Glee Club, Swastika Club, two years on the Semaphore, as well as being chairman of the Hallowe ' en dance. This year she filled two offices being on the Senior Play Business Com- ♦ mittee, and also prompter of the play. And 1 can she prompt! i LUCY EVERETT t Lucy is going to settle down to being a I nurse in spite of the fact that she has been I buzzing around Stoughton High for four years. f Having earned her S in hockey and basket- f ball, she was on the S Club Dance Commit- I tee. She belongs to the Dramatic Club and I the Home Economics Club. She was on the t Sophomore Dance Committee, the Junior Prom I Committee, and the Junior Class Ring Commit- | tee. She ' s on good terms with the masculine sex — for a short time ! f ARTHUR E. JASMIN j Art j Tall, good-looking Art has been treasurer t of his class for two years and has done a ♦ mighty fine job of it. His rangy build made him excellent material for football and he has ♦ received three letters as a result of his prowess. ♦ Baseball also netted him a letter. Last year » he served on the Junior Prom Committee and played an important part in making it the ♦ success it was. He was a member of the Science Club in his Freshman year, and has J served on the S Club Dance Committee and ♦ Senior Play Committee. His dark good looks 4 cause many a flutter among the femmes. t Art will go to Bentley ' s School of Accounting t and Finance with a good record as financial I administrator of his class. I VETY STRIMITIS Strum We ' ve been wondering where and how Vety i acquired his nickname and the only thing we ♦ could think of was that he is in the orchestra ♦ — only he doesn ' t strum, he blows! Vety is liked by many because of his healthy grin and I non-assuming manners. He seems to have no ♦ interest in girls although his blonde hair and ♦ nice features make him interesting to not a i few!!! We really think that he ought to con- tinue on in music as he is a fine player. How- ♦ ever, he has decided to take up some further t schooling in business. MARION BROGREN t Although she has been with us but a year Marion has endeared herself to all who know t her. She is a sweet girl with a charming smile t and beautiful blue eyes. Her lateness in enter- t ing class did not prevent her from becoming popular immediately, and she is active in many ♦ class afl airs. She was a member of the Busi- ♦ ness Committee for the Senior play, served on the Senior Picture Committee and Graduation Committee. She has also been an honor stu- ♦ dent. Some lucky man will find in her the perfect secretary some day!

THE SEMAPHORE LENA NARDOZZI Lena is a cute little girl with great brown eyes in an oval face. What a combination! Always full of fun she breaks out with some of the most unconsciously witty remarks. Al- though petite she has received two letters in hockey and done excellent work in basket- ball besides being on the Semaphore staff and in the Latin Club. Her popularity made her Vice-president of her class as a Sophomore and she served on the Prom Committee last year. We shall never forget her as the fiery French maid in the Senior play. Her acting was a revelation ! Can you imagine peppy little Lena as a school ma ' am? She plans to enter college next year with a view towards teaching. Won ' t her future pupils be lucky to have such an adorable instructor? WILLIAM B. LAFRANCE Bilhj One of the remarkable things about Billy is the fact that he has been President of his class for three years and done wonderfully well in that important position. He owes a lot of his popularity to his pleasant grin and good looks as well as his prowess in athletics ( letters in football and baseball). He was Peter in the Senior play — a nice part that just suited his personality, — and played it splendidly. As President of his class he has served in so many committees that it would be quite impos- sible to name them all. Here are some of them: Ring, S Dance, Graduation, Junior Prom, and Sophomore Dance. He has been chairman of the Student Council for two years. Billy is undecided about his career, but we bet it won ' t be in the B. P. M.!!! WILLIAM OWERKA Bill Bill is well-known among the boys for his numerous wisecracks and his mannish ways! Naturally fun-loving he keeps things humming in his home room and is a born pest. Although tall and well-built he did not go in for any sports but not from lack of interest as he is seen at all of the games. The most outstand- ing thing about him is his very, very blond hair. Bill will some day hold down the position of accountant as he is planning to attend Bentley ' s next year. All the luck in the world, Bill! EDWARD ZABROSKY Zeke Ah ! Here ' s the most interesting boy in the class! Zeke ' s nutty behavior wins for him the affection of everyone and keeps us all in stitches! Don ' t get us wrong by thinking he is crazy — far from it, only just full of fun and as playful as a basketful of wildcats. Zeke is easily one of the most popular and best- liked boys. He has been prominent in football and basketball (letters) as well as in the orchestra and Science Club. He has a shock of blond hair that will never stay down — this distinguishes him from all the other patent- leather gigolos! Zeke plans to attend Bradford Durfee and take up textile chemistry. Sounds interesting! JOHN C. WEBSTER Johnny Johnny is the longest drink of water in the class but this is not the only reason why he is outstanding. He has been very busy on various committees — Prom, Senior, Graduation, Senior play, S Club Dance and Soph. Dance Com- mittee. He goes in for dances in a big way and has a terrible time trying to control a stub- born beard! His deep voice has been heard in the Glee Club as much as on the athletic field where he participated in football (3 letters), track, basketball and baseball. Can you imagine what a persuasive lawyer Johnny will make — e ' .pecially with the ladies? MARSHALL BRICKELL Mushji No one seems to know how Mushy got his awful nickname for he is anything but what it implies. Easily one of the best looking boys, he has a way with the girls and do they like it! He has immense shoulders and was an outstanding linesman on the football team. His dark features won him the role of the villain in the Senior play but his infectious grin showed his true colors! Mushy served in the Junior Prom and Ring Committees, and has been a member of the Glee and S clubs. When questioned about his plans for the fu- ture Mushy seems to think he may go to Dean Academy — he is not sure. We wish him luck anyway. LYDIA ATHERTON MARTIN Sister Sis is among the most prominent students in Senior activities. Her good natured person- ality makes her very popular and was she a howl in the Senior play! Her part as a studious author was a direct contrast to her own hilarious self. We can ' t begin to name all of the activites she has participated in but here are some of them: President Dramatic Club, President French Club Senior year (Treasurer third year), Glee Club, Secretary Swastika A. A., Semaphore, Banquet Committee and Junior Ring Committee. She has received four letters in hockey and was captain in her fourth year. She received her letter in basket- ball this year. That ' s a record to write home about. After all this, she is still undecided about her future. Well!!
