STOUGHTON HIGH SCHOOL ARTHUR STONKUS Art A football player of not«, He often got the enemy ' s goat. Here ' s another one of our good-looking boys. Art isn ' t tall, dark, and handsome but he is good-looking, blond, and possess- es a perfect physique . He has been out for basketball, baseball, and football, re- ceivinij an S in the latter. He has also been in the Science Club and on the Sen- ior Banquet Committee. Oh, yes, and we must mention something else about Art — he surely can dance. One of these kind, y ' know — y ' dance with ' em and just drift away somewhere. He intends to work days and attend night school. Some ambish , I ' ll say. GENEVIEVE CERUTI Genie Our dashing Secretary has changed a lot, Who is this boy that she has sought? Genie has light hair and is very cute . She has a way with the boys. The Student Council consumed much of Genie ' s abili- ty and reason. This year, the Senior Cla.ss election found Genevieve Secretary of the Senior Class. We are sure that she will be successful at the profession she chooses to follow, which is nursing. YOLANDA ALIMANDI A certain song describes her best, We ' ll not tell; we ' ll let you guess. Yolanda is a little girl and is just as quiet as a mouse. She keeps her youthful figure by making the rounds with the notices each morning. Besides making her Freshman numerals in basketball, Yolanda has been a member of the Glee Club, French Club, and the Banquet Committee. She is undecided about the future. MARY WALLACE Polly Good luck to you and may it last. You ' re always smiling in every class. Polly is one girl who has a perpetual good-naturedness. She joined our ranks during our Junior year and has become very well liked. Polly has been chosen for the Class Gift Committee and is a good participant. As yet she has no plans for the future, but may you have much luck, Polly! EVERETT PERRY Scottie The commander himself is in our school, Good old Everett will follow his rule. Scottie showed speed and ability in the track meet last year by coming in sec- ond in the discus throw and the 220-yard run, and third in the 440-yard run. He played Basketball during his Freshman year. For two years he was a member of the Glee Club and plays in the School Or- chestra, and is a member of the Senior Re- ception Committee. He has hopes of work- ing for Uncle Sam in the Railway Postal Service. We hope you have lots of luck and success, Everett ' DORIS BURBRIDGE In the office she holds sway. She ' s always toiling every day. Doris is another one of our little girls and judging from the amount of noise she makes, one would think she never does any- thing, but this is not the case. She belongs to the Banquet Committee and has belong- ed to the Glee Club and French Club, and has made her Freshman numerals in basket- ball. Doris wants to go to a business school and she ought to make a success as she is very efficient in that line of work. PRISCILLA HILL Pussy ' Pussy ' is her nick-name. Here ' s the girl ' Bid ' did tame. Pussy is the musician of the class. She plays the piano for the Senior Class and for the orchestra. Pussy also excells in Latin and was a member of the Latin Club her Freshman year. She is very fond of dc«?- wood branches and may be seen at certain times of the year gathering arms full of the stuff. Lots of luck! GEORGE LITTLEFIELD Enoch When you hear a laugh and a roar. You ' ll know it ' s ' Enoch ' at the door. George was almost arrested once for theft. He was charged with stealing a laugh from a horse. Everyone has him noted for it. He was on the Graduation Committee and cut some figure at all the League Basketball games. Any afternoon you may see George peeping from behind counters as he diligently waits on customers at the First National Store here in town. Patronize Semaphore Advertisers Page Nine

THE SEMAPHORE LILLIAN GEMME Lil An outstanding character is ' Lucy Hacker ' In the play she made this chai-acter. Here ' s Lil, our actress who took the part of a gangster ' s ' Moll and spiritualis- tic medium in the Senior Class Play. She has been very active in her four years at High school, being a member of the French, Glee. Latin, and Art Clubs, and numerous dance and graduation committees. She has also been on the SEMAPHORE Staff for two years. This year she was voted the most popular giil in the Senior Class, as well as the Class Flirt. We all think a great deal of Lillian and wish her loads of luck at Massachusetts State Colle je in Am- herst, where she is going to study to be a French teacher. JOHN SHIPPALOWSKI Shippa ' Shippa ' simply slays her dead; ' Betty ' s really gone to his head. Here we have quite a ladies ' man. Watch his face turn scarlet when Betty is men- tioned. He ' s always ready for a good joke and is well-liked. This year he suddenly rose as a football hero and was he cheered from the stands? He is almost a star athlete for he has earned four letters in football, two in basketball, and two in baseball. He has taken part in Class Day Exerciser and was on the Banquet Committee. Therefore, we know why our banquet was good. He tells us his future is undecided but we know better! WILLIAM KELL Bill He ' s often seen up in the ' sticks ' , Who is the girl that ' s got him fixed? Being what these girls call rather cute, Bill had no difficulty whatsoever in em- barking upon a High School romance. He also has another side to his character in addition to being romantic — he is a good athlete, prominent in school affairs, and a swell sport. He received seven letters — four in football and three in basketball. Bill never exeicised his vocal chords in the Glee Club but he did participate in French Club activities. Sophomore Dance Committee, Prom. Commttee, and the Ivy Day Sketch. Bill intends to go to busi- ness school, but personally — we think he ought to start a bakery and bake only choc- olate cakes! What do you say, Bill ? JOHN DeLOUGHREY Duke This Indian athlete is noted afar. All girls except one he does bar. Duke, our red headed he-man has pos- itively ruined more than one Sophomore girl ' s peaceful existence by merely flash- ir( her a smile. He has earned four letters, two in baseball and two in football. Duke was also a member of the Senior Class Play Business Committee. He has no plans for the future as yet but we hope he has all the success in the world, anyway. ANTHONY KIRELIS Tony ' Tony ' s ' quiet all the time, The best dressed boy in the line. Tony is the best dressed fellow in the Senior Class. He is tall, very blond, and verrreee quiet. Tony has not taken part in very many school activities but of course that ' s where he gets the reputation of being so quiet. He has no plans for the future but we hope that he ' ll be a success in whatever line he chooses. JOSEPH JOYCE Joe ' Brissels ' was supreme on the football field. Fooling the opposition with the ball con- cealed. Joe is noted for his pleasantness and is always ready and waiting for a laugh. Mebbe he likes football or sum ' p ' n — he went out for it four years and received two letters in the same. He also earned two letters more in basketball — a grand total of four S ' s . Joe has been on the Prom. Committee, Senior Pictures Committee, Graduation Committee, and in the French Club. An all-round good fellow, eh what? WILLIAM HORAN Billy ' Bill ' looks bored but don ' t be fooled, ' Cause he really loves to go to school. Billy is rather small, blond, and ex- ceptionaly quiet. As far as we know, Billy ' s pet hobby is reading and he spends most of nis time with his nose buried in a book. This year he is on the School Gift Committee, which is going to have a hard time choos- ing a gift — within our meagre means. As for the future, Billy plans to enter the mighty business world.

THE SEMAPHORE ALBERT STATKUS Al He always tries and pushes on, But can ' t go far because of corns. Al is tall, light, and handsome, and is the only boy who had the courage to take Home Economics. He has supported the baseball squad this year, and maybe that accounts for some of it ' s success. Al re- veals that his secret ambition is to become a retired business man. Well, we hope it will be as easy as that for him and may he be successful at it. RICHARD GAY Pecker Whenever you listen to ' Pecker ' you ' ll always grin. For he ' s quick-witted and has always been. Unlike most of us, Pecker just loves pains. And committees, too. He has been on the Class Gift, Basketball and Football ticket selling committees. He also played Basketball during his Junior year. After leaving dear old S. H. S., Pecker plans to attend night school and become a brawny mechanic. WALTER ROMANICK Walt The boy that ' s going to fly aloft. Until his wheels or wings drop off. Walt is tall and light-featured and has a weakness for aviation and painting. He is a licensed pilot and spends much of his time around airplanes. He has received a letter for his service on the Basketball team. He was on the Decoration Committee for the Junior Prom, and is on the Senior Recep- tion Committee. Walt hopes to follow up his painting and flying ambitions. Here ' s luck, Walt ! JOHN TRACY Tracie You can ' t fool John; you see He knows his onions from A to Z. John is a quiet sort of person with dark curls that are the envy of all his girl class- mates. How do you get them, John? Come on, now, give us a tip! In spite of his quiet- ness, John ' s occasional wise-cracks usually bring a laugh. Once he was merely a re- porter on our honorable SEMAPHORE staff but this year he was promoted to Assistant Sports Editor. CHARLES SEAMANS Charley Lanky ' Charlie ' is there in a pinch. Delivering papers sure is a cinch. Charley took up his abode m S. H. S. during our Sophomore year and since then has made a hit with all the old-time mem- bers of the clasi. Prominent in school go- ings on he has been chairman of the Grad- uation Place Committee. He has also been in fie French Club for two years and Assistant Business Manager of the SEMAPHORE. Charley is noted for his funny laugh — it ' s so funny you laugh whether the joke he tells is funny or not. And really, did you ever notice his nice blue eyes? He in- tends to go to Mass. State — we ' re on to you, Charley — it ' s a co-ed school, y ' know. EDITH CRAM Edie She certainly has them all fooled, Every time she comes to school. When you hear the words, calm, cool, and collected you immediately think of Edie . Perhaps that accounts for the fact that she is one of Mr. Randall ' s right-hand assistants in the office. Edie belonged to the French Club in her Sophomore year and was property manager of the Senior Play — and, by the way, ask Edie to let you see those pictures that were taken at the Play. Boy, did Edie look out of place! Edie has no plans for the future as yet, but we know she ' ll make some man a per- fect stenographer. ROY BEATON The ever popular boy of our class. His work and benefits for us will last. And now for the boy who stole all the honors during his four years at High school. We all agree on two points and they are — Roy surely has a real brainy brain, and he isn ' t cute , he ' s just plain good-looking. He has not only been our capable editor of the SEMAPHORE for two years but in addition, was president of the Southeastern Massachusetts League of School Publica- tions. As President of the Senior Class, Roy has also been on all the Senior committees throughout the year, in addition to the Junior Prom. Committee and French Club (2 years). He plans to take the competitive examination for the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis in the fall and we all feel sure he ' ll make the grade. Page Ten Patronize Semaphore Advertisers
