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.

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!!

THE SEMAPHORE BARBARA DRAKE Bibs Barbara is voted the smallest girl in the class as well as the cutest. She makes up in ability for her lack of height and has great talent in the finer things of life — music and art. Undoubtedly Bibs is the best girl artist in the Senior class. Her drawings of babies are exceptionally clever. Bibs has enormous blue eyes with the longest lashes imaginable and you can just bet they are appreciated by not a few! She belongs to the Art Club and plays the violin in the orchestra. We ' re glad that she has decided to further her study of art next year at the Museum School of Fine Arts. JOHN CHENCUS Chain Chain is one of the boys who says nothing but seems to know an awful lot. Silence is golden you know. He is very mild and easy going — never have we seen him angry. This has brought him a great many friends who will hate to have him leave S. H. S. Chain doesn ' t seem to have become interested in many ac- tivities in school but has been busy with his musica studies outside. He is an ardent hunter and would rather be out in the open than at school. Who wouldn ' t? John has a very cute grin which makes his mouth quirk up at the corners. Watch it sometimes. He plans to continue on with his music after graduation. ALICE FLYNN Alice is a girl who always has a store of wit handy and ready to meet any emergency. This little Irish gal has a snappy comeback for every wisecrack. She is very pretty and has a nice complexion. Alice has been a lead- ing member of the French Club and has be- longed for three years. She is vei-y excitable and skittish. Some day some one is going to scare her to death she is that nervous. A very good student, she is one of the most able girls in the Commercial group and excels in shorthand. We all like Alice for she is just plain likeable — that ' s all. She doesn ' t quite know what she will do next year but we know that she will make some one a nice stenog- rapher. MARGARET F. MULKERN Peggy Peggy is a certain prominent athlete ' s sweet somebody. And can you blame him? Lis- ten — big blue eyes, a cute nose, and the darlingest smile — that ' s Peggy! Always nice to everybody, she has a host of friends and admirers. Her faint little voice is so ladylike that she drives certain teachers to exaspera- tion. She has found time to enter into many extra activities and has belonged to the Swas- tika A. A., the French Club, Hiking Club and the Glee Club. Besides all this she was man- ager of the girls ' field hockey team. Peggy will be a sweet little nurse in the near future as she plans to enter the Goddard Hospital Training School. HELEN SAVAGE Helen is the exact opposite of her name and is a sweet little girl who would never harm a soul. She has very expressive eyes of a curious tawny-green shade — topaz, if you will ! She always has a cheery greeting for everyone whether she is intimate with them or not and we think that is just lovely. Helen goes in for the social events of school life in a big way and is seen at the meetings of quite a few clubs. Some of them are the Glee, French, Latin and Home Economics clubs. Helen likes her course so well that she is planning to attend some business school although she has not decided which one it shall be as yet. MILDRED HANSEN Millie Millie is tall and very blonde. She is very musical and has a pleasant singing voice which does credit to the soprano section of the Senior music classes. That is probably why she has been such a prominent member of the Glee Club. Millie is very good looking and once served as a model in a style show. She likes to keep tabs on that flyaway brother of hers (as well she might) but we ' re afraid Rudy doesn ' t care for it very much. Millie excels in U. S. History and always has a pile of notes on what she is going to say. She plans to go to a school for Beauty Culture. Lots of luck! DORIS L. BURT Dot Dearest little Dot, a naturally quiet girl, sometimes flares up at someone and says very viciously, I want lined paper! These out- bursts come only when she is particularly persecuted and we don ' t blame her in the least. Perhaps her red hair has something to do with it. Dot is an honor student and works hard to get her good marks. She has that translucent complexion that sometimes goes with red-gold hair but is very modest about her good looks. Dot is going to make a lovely nurse and is to train at the Goddard Hospital in Brockton. We will miss Dot but will be con- soled by the fact that she is giving her life or part of it for a good cause. WILHELMENA WADE Wilhj Willy is one of the most interesting girls in the class. Always ready to laugh at a good joke, she sometimes drives the teachers crazy. That is only her natural spirits coming forth for she is irrepressible! Willy is proud of the (Con ' Jnued on Page 30)
