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!!

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.

Page 10 THE SEMAPHORE GAYLE MADDEN Gayle doesn ' t know yet what she ' s going to do after graduation, but we sincerely hope that she makes it with more than a minute to spare as she always enters school about 7:59. Gayle was for three years a member of the Glee Club. In her second year she went out for basketball and was on the Hallowe ' en Dance Committee. This year she worked for the Semaphore and wan on the hockey squad. Last year she be- longed to the French Club. ANNE GRIGAS Anne ' s manner of utter innocence is be- guiling. While she wasn ' t learning stenogra- phy she was engaged in Science and French clubs, and hockey in her fourth year, although she received no letter for the latter. Anne and Bronie certainly make a good pair. What one doesn ' t think of, the other does. RUTH McGOLDRICK Rtithie Every Senior knows Ruthie for her excellent playing during music and in the orchestra. She has a great deal of talent in that line and may continue with her music. Ruth has beautiful hands and these certainly would be an aid to her. Besides this she has ranked high among commercial students and has been on the Honor Roll for four years. The French Club has welcomed her in their midst because of her ability and pleasant manners. BRONIE YUKON Bro Here is one of the liveliest girls in the class. Bro ' s snapping brown eyes are agleam with mischief and to have her around is an educa- tion in itself. Her gay personality has made her an outstanding member of the French Club (was Secretary- in her Junior year) and her clever remarks have made her an excellent F ' ' nior reporter on the Semaphore staff. She seems rather undecided as to her future plans, but there is no doubt in our minds but that she will be heard of some day. Bro has made a name for herself as one of the snappiest dressers in the school, and does that mean something ! NATALIE FIALKOW Nat Nat ' s pretty red-gold hair was covered up by a black wig in the Senior play, but that didn ' t cramp her style. She surprised every one with her excellent portrayal of a difficult character. Every one likes Nat for her nice ways and we predict a brilliant career for her at E. U. Her clubs are Dramatic ( Secretary) Glee, French and Hiking. She has been promi- nent on the Semaphore staff and has shown up well in hockey and basketball. Best wishes, Nat! LAURETTA DUNKERLY Rex Rex is one of the good lookers in the Class of 1933. Her turned-up nose is delight- ful ! Always very popular, she has twice been elected a class office — Junior and Senior years, and thus served on the Student Council. She takes an interest in athletics especially basket- ball, and is the girls ' athletic reporter for the Semaphore. Her clubs are Dramatic and Hik- ing. Her cuily black head is seen everywhere for she has served on a great many committees for class events. Lauretta plans to fare forth into the business world next year. HELEN PACEWICZ Ceewee Helen is a smart student of the Commercial Course. She and Jennie supply the humor to the classes and many are her caustic remarks. In music Ceewee doesn ' t seem to know whether she is singing alto or soprano but it doesn ' t make much difference to her anyway. Although she claims she isn ' t Scotch, a certain teacher accused her of being such because of the length of her recitation:. Everyone en- joys and likes her — temper and all. She was a member of the French Club and may go to Burdett ' s next year. HENRY DONOVAN Henry is the class ' nicest boy. Everyone likes him. What girl doesn ' t envy him his beautiful wavy hair? Keep smiling, Henry, ' cause you ' ve got a smile that is interesting! A very efficient secretary of the Science Club in his Freshman year was Henry and he added his voice to the Glee Club at that time. He has a nice speaking voice and entered the public- speaking contest in his Freshman year — doing very nicely indeed. He plans to enter some business college soon. Watch his dust! PHYLLIS M. ADAMS Phil Phil is one of our nicest girls. She is smart, ambitious and studious, but does not fail to enter into our social activities. She has been an outstanding member of the French Club during all four years — being Vice-presi- dent in her Sophomore year. Phil was also a member of the Latin and Dramatic clubs as well as the Swastika A. A. and the Semaphore. She was on the Honor Roll all her four years. There is just one thing we have against Phil and that is that she is so much better in her studies than most of the rest of us. Phil is a good piano player and played for us in our Junior stunt last Class day. Phil plans to be a teacher of English and Mathematics and so is going to go to Bridgewater State Teachers ' College.
