THE SEMAPHORE Page 17 SOPHOMORE GLASS HISTORY 1932-1933 Returning to school in September as sophis- ticated Sophs instead of dumb Frosh made al- most everyone shout in glee. Were we proud? Then came our only social event of the year. The Sophomore Hallowe ' en party! It certainly was a howling success as the attendance was very large. The hall was decorated in orange and black streamers and novelties were pre- sented to everyone in the Grand March. Car- men Urcuoli, Class Presid ent, led the Grand March with Louise Wereska, Vice-president. Miss Cowing, the Class Advisor, aided the class immensely and was one large reason for the success of the dance. Election days arrived in October and the final result of the voting was : President, Car- men Urcuoli; Vice-president, Louise Wereska; Secretary, Marion Kemp; Treasurer, Francis Vinskus. Incidentally our class colors are blue and white. Watch them! You ' re going to see and hear a lot about us from now on. Many Sophs belong to various social clubs in the school and here are a few of the officers of these various clubs. In the Dramatic Club, Barbara Twombly handles the $$ and cc. In other words she is an A-1 treasurer. Babe Jones handles the work of the librarian in the Glee Club. Again we hear of Barbara Twomb- ly ' s name. This time she seems to be in the roll of an attendance officer in the Glee Club. Now for the sports! When the drums uf football sent their echoes rolling across the gridirons of Stoughton High, it found the Sophs ready. And were we good! Arthur Rad- villas played varsity half-back and was one of the outstanding players all season. Art is a basketball and baseball star as well. In basket- ball Kenneth Donahue and Bob Leahy are stars on the varsity as well as baseball players Other Sophs on the basketball squad are: Steve Simmavich and Alfred Tirellis. The girls as well as boys have done their bit. In field hockey two of the outstanding players were Captain-elect Jeanette Dunkerly and Anna Tummonis. In basketball Captain- elect Hazel Burns, Helen Lutted, Jeanette Dun- kerly, Mary Kearns, Mary Revenofi , Louise Kundrot and Anna Tummonis displayed their ability. In the inter-class basketball Mary Kearns was captain as well as being an out- standing player. Not only have the Sophs conquered in sports and studies but in Semaphore work as weii. Those Sophs on the staff include: Alice Bolin, Assistant Editor; William Dibben, Assistant Business Manager; Lorraine Phillips, Assistant Alumni Editor, and Marion Kemp, Soph News Reporter. Well, the Juniors step out of their shoes June 23 and the shoes are to be filled by a class that is high in ideals, scholarship and sports. Watch our smoke next year. — Marion Kemp, ' 35. 0 FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY 1932-1933 Last fall, to be exact, September, 1932 the Stoughton High School opened its doors to us, the new Freshman class, comprised mainly of graduates from the Edwin E. Jones Junior High School and St. Mary ' s Parochial School. Shortly after accustoming ourselves to the new routine, strange teachers and awe-inspir- ing upper classmen, we elected two repre- sentatives to the Student Council, namely Joseph Carrara and Jesselyn Innes, whom we all believe to have done an excellent job in representing us. However, Student Council is not the only gathering in which we are well represented — the school sports, baseball, basketball, football and track all having many Freshmen partici- pating in them. Leah Kell, our star feminine athlete, who played side-center on the varsity, won a letter. Jesselyn Innes also played side-center on the second team. The Freshman basketball team made a good showing: they won all games except two played with the Edwin E. Jones Junior High School. Captain Alice Dunkerly Forward Josephine Gill Forward Bronie Wasilewich Guard Eleanor Morrison Guard Delia Vascanselles Center Mary Sheehan Side-center Poilucci, Ceruti, Bernard and Corbett went out for football and McClurg for baseball. At the track meets held this year the Fresh- men, J. Poilucci, A. McClurg, G. Bernard, L. Griffin, R. Jackson, J. Martin, M. Russell, J. Usinsky, J. Coppello, R. Billings and N. Roman- ick defended the class honor and bounced the Sophomores, but lost to the Seniors in the finals. The Glee Club found many members in the Freshman ranks, the athletic club likewise, but the French Club was about the only organiza- tion of its kind made up solely of Freshmen. The meetings were held at the home of the members. The officers were: President, Bar- bara Lutted; Secretary, Alice Dunkerly; Treasurer, Harold Fowler. In spite of the fact that we all hold our Freshman year to have been a most interesting and happy one, we are all looking forward to the new privileges and dignities we shall as- sume next fall as serious (?) Sophomores. — Barbara Kennedy, ' 36.

Page 16 THE SEMAPHORE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY 1932-1933 On September 5, 1932, the Class of 1933 re- turned to dear old Stoughton High School for more studies, some preparing for nursing, col- lege and others for the office. Everyone in the class returned. We had two new-comers: Marion Brogren and Harry Doull. The Seniors occupied Rooms 21 and 22 under the direction of Miss Hammond and Mr. Burke. Several changes have taken place in the faculty. Miss Clark succeeded Miss Proctor, as the salesmanship teacher. We have had two substitutes: Miss Craig of North Easton as the History teacher and Miss Task as the Eng- lish teacher. Nearly every member of the Senior class has participated in some organization of the school. William La France proved himself as a very efficient President of the class, Lauretta Dunkerly as the Secretary, Arthur Jasmin as Treasurer, and Catherine Connell as Vice-presi- dent. Much enthusiasm has been shown on the parts of the boys and girls in regard to sports. The Seniors taking part in Athletics: William La France, John Webster, Marshall Brickell, Harry Doull, William Owei-ka and Russell Hampe played on the football team. Richard Sarrey was captain of the basket- ball team and proved to be a very capable cap- tain. One of the players was Zabrosky. Seniors on the track team were John Mc- Garry, Clyde Boutilier, Carl Ryder, Edward Palayma, and Edward Zabrosky. Even if McGarry is a small fellow he surely can run!! He won first place in the finals. Harry Doull and William La France played on the baseball team. The girls showed much interest in basket- ball, Grace Mueller (captain), Leola Harding, and Eunice Paine. S. H. S. is losing most of the good players. Come on, undergraduates, and play basketball and be undefeated next year! Many Seniors have devoted their time to working for the Semaphore. The Seniors turned out to be an ambitious group in work- in gfor this paper. The Seniors on the staff were: Frances Leahy, Phyllis Adams, Laur- etta Dunkerly, Bronie Yukon, Helen Lignickis, Rita Foster, Mary Smith, Ruth McGoldrick and Gail Madden. At Christmas time we had a glorious one week ' s vacation and did the days roll by. We, the Seniors, have enjoyed a very event- ful social season this year. We attended the Junior Promenade at the Town Hall and at- tended the Senior play. Dances which were held at recess were enjoyed very much for tlie time that they lasted. The largest event of the year was the Senior play, Am I Intruding? . Everyone in the cast (Concluded on Page 32) JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY 1932-1933 Last September the Junior class began the new term with one of the largest, if not the largest, number of pupils ever.

The season was fairly suc- cessful they having won five games, tied one, and lost only four. Their opponents for the most part, were very formidable adversaries, and the team deserves credit for downing so many of them. Stoughton succeeded in topping North Easton, North Attleboro, Foxboro, Somerset and Middleboro and held Nashua do wn to a nothing to nothing tie. However Stoughton was in turn defeated by Barnstable, Boston Trade, Franklin and Can- ton, the last being the most humiliating. Stoughton meets the age-old rival once a year on Turkey Day. and both teams always strive to win. Nevertheless, the Stoughtonites are biding their time until next year, when they are sure they will be victorious. Coach Burke deserves praise for his won- derful work in whipping up a team like this and to him should go the most heartiest of congratulations and well-wishes for next year successes. The football team is going to lose six able members by graduation this year. Tom Cad- dell, last year ' s captain, will be missed the most. His brilliant playing at the position of left halfback, displayed his mettle. Hampe and Jasmin, the two tackles, will also leave fond memories of their capable work in their respective positions. Hariy Doull, the mighty fullback; John Webster, the tall, rangy end, and Mushy Brickell, that stolid right guard, are the other three leaving us and to them goes much praise and thanks. The remainder of the team is composed of Art Radvillas, that snake-hipped half-back; Herb Chipman and Duke DeLoughry, the two capable fullbacks; Joe Joyce, the verastile quarterback; Hayden and Pye, who work hand- in-hand at guard and center respectively, and Kell and Walent, the two ends who are going to become famous next year. We are sorry to see such good men leaving the squad but Coach Burke has plenty of ma- terial to try to fill up their empty positions with. With such a team as Stoughton intends to have next year, the way seems to be paved to victory.
