THE SEMAPHORE CHARLES WILLIAMS Freddy This boy, Fred, is widely known, He ' s caused many a girl to groan. Freddy ' was the piesidenc of the Junior Class. His flaming red hair and pleasant grin are two reasons for his popularity. He has a big power over the girls, especially when he says, Is oo? I guess you didn ' t know Freddy is a full-fledged tap dancer! You should see him dancing around his heme room! He was a member of the Glee Club and SEMAPHORE staff, and was quite an asset to the football team. LA.RY MacCOMBIE Shrimp An oil truck takes her home each day, The driver is Ken , if -we may say. A glorious crown of carrot-red hair dis- tinguishes Shrimp from the crowd and it never seems under control. She is noted for her smallness but good things come in lit- tle packages, says Shrimp ! Her services were outstanding on the Refreshment Com- mittee at the Sophomore Hallowe ' en Dance and the Senior Reception of 1932. She was also a member of the Prophets Committee. As for the future — (?) (?) (?) DOROTHY BIRD Dot They ' ve named her ' Sprii ' ; but she ' s not shy, She ' s very good company in ma ' iy an eye. Dot was voted the neatest girl in the class and she surely is immaculate. Dot has lovely clothes and she always keeps them in the best of condition. She has been a member of the Junior From. Committee, Graduation Dress Committee, Semaphore Staff, Glee, French and Art Clubs. Dot has no plans for the future as yet but we sincerely hope she follows in the footsteps easiest for her — art. Dot can draw, sketch, and can she sculp . RICHARD WAHL Richie He ' d fall for any fair head, So it ' s Barbara; so his brother said. Richie , in spite of the fact that he comes from Do ?-Corner , is one of the most popular boys of the class. Although he wears spectacles, it is awfully hard to get anything by him. He has been faithful, sla ishly faithful, in fact, to one member of the present Sophomore Class for ever so long. This, howe-ver, has not kept him from being an alert member of the Advanced Mathematics Class, for Richie is seldomly stopped by a nerve-wrack- mj problem in Trigonometrj- or Solid Geometry. During his four years here he has been a helpful member of the school orchestra and promises to play first fiddle for the Czar some day. As Willie Worgle- , the stuttering freshman, in the Senior Play, he stole the show. Richie plans to attend the New York State Ranger School next year and we hope he makes good in his chosen career. Page Twelve JAMES CONDON Tiger ' Tiger ' is clever in many a way, Although no sports he did play. Hold that Tiger — but not away from Randolph. James is one of the S. H. S. boys that ha a heap big interest in Ran- dolph. He has participated in the Science Club and warbled in the Glee Club for one year but his voice hasn ' t improved much, has it, Jim ? He plans to attend Lowell Night School for two years and then to plunge ahead into the engineering course at Northeastern University. EVELYN HAYDEN Evie She never chums around with us. Perhaps because her friend has a ' bus ' . Evie is a good looking girl but she ' s awfully quiet. Maybe because her interest is in some town other than S toughton. Is that it, Evie ? She has been a member of the French. Glee, and Hiking Clubs, as well as able Alumni Editor for the SEMA- PHORE. We don ' t know Evie ' s favorit« hobby but it ought to be dancing, ' cause she sure can trip the light fantastic ! JOSEPH LEHAN Joe His blushing looks and baseball fame Have given ' Joe ' quite a name. Joe is our star baseball player — plays short stop and none of the fellows can hold a candle to his short-stopping . He earned four letters in baseball and one in football. Joe has also squeeked in the Glee Club, and participated on the Senior Play and Banquet Committees. By the way, Joe , aren ' t you that way about a certain Junior girl?

STOUGHTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARENCE BENSON Swede They call him ' Judge ' — we know why, Good luck with chickens, beans and flies! This tall, handsome blond known as Swede has an everlasting grin and most any hour of the day you ' ll find him deliver- ing a speech on Bees to some apprecia- tive class. And does he know the great open spaces! Well, no wonder, with all the country up Sumner Street to explore. Swede plans to enter the New York State Forestry School at Syracuse, and we all wish him success. JOSEPH DALY Joe The lawyer ' s son is sure a peach. With pretty girls at the beach. Here ' s Joe, one of the artistically in- clined members of the class. Joe is an ac- tive member of the Art Club and the Sci- ence Club. But the boy sings, in fact he belongs to the Glee Club. Joe has earned his letter in Football and is doing a very successful job of managing the baseball team this spring. Here ' s luck to you, Joe . CHARLES ROSENFELD Rosy ' Gertie ' is all he talks about, He ' s quite a man when stepping out. Rosy is a likeable fellow but doesn ' t have much to say. He is a member of the Reception Committee and during his four years took part in track and football activ- ities. When asked about the future, Rosy nonchalantly replied, Well, I hope to end up in the mechanical line of work. If not, I ' ll stick with the old man. Such crude language, Rosy . ROBERT DEXTER Bob Once a lover. Oh, so true! Now he ' s sad and feeling blue. Bob , the Freckled-face Kid , is just one big bunch of good humor and smiles. He has been on the basketball squad for three years, as well as giving his efforts to the French Club, Prom. Committee, Ivy Day Sketch, and business committee for the Senior Play. However, Bob seems to have one weakness — namely. Redheads. He plans to try to enter Massachusetts Nauti- cal School and if not successful, to be- come an automobile salesman. Best of luck. Bob !

She has lovely skin that is the envy of many an admiring on-looker.

G. course and then is going to be a nurse. VIRGINIA DYKEMAN Dyke The class giggler, did you say? She ' s all right in every way. Dyke is noted for her supreme giggling and merriment. She went out for hockey in ' 31 and has been a member of the Glee Club, Hiking Club, French Club, Candy Committee at the Senior Play, and the Commencement Committee. Dyke proves a capable assistant in commercial work at her father ' s stoi ' e and plans to continue in this line. Good luck! CAROLYN HATHAWAY Carol She looks quiet and dignified. Until you see her other side. Carol is one of the quieter members of the class but this does not detract from her personality in any way. She is always ready to laugh at some funny incident, thus showing the humorous side of her character. Carol is going to be a nurse and we know she will make a very pleasant one. ANNA NORKUS Ann The dear old prompter of our play. She helped us out in many a way. If you heard any peculiar noises at the Senior Play you know now that it was only Ann prompting those vicious characters. And did she do a good job! Ann was cap- tain of a class team in her fii-st and second years and received the numerals. She also served on the Graduation Committee. Ann is uncertain about the future be- cause who ever heard of a certain one? Page Eleven

She showed her ability in Dramatics by the excellent man- ner in which she played this part. Mary has been a member of the Glee Club for three years, the Orchesti-a for four years, the Art Club for two years, and the Dramatic Club for one year. So, you can see that she is extremely talented.

She is undecid- ed as to -what she will do in the future. Well, good luck and success, Mary. RUSSELL HAYDEN Pete Although the hero of the gridiron is our ' Pete ' , We must admit these verses of his can ' t be beat. Now here ' s our all-round good fellow. Pete ' s an actor, a poet, and a novelist. He has warbled in the Glee Club, been on the Class Gift Committee, Graduation Com- mittee, and Student Council, for he was our Sophomore President. Besides writing our Class Ode and being on the SEMA- PHORE staff for four years, Pete took the difficult part of Lon Hacker, the vil- lain, in the Senior Play and practically lived in the part, he carried it out so well. JOHN QUILL WIHPN When station WIHPN is on the air, You ' ll know it ' s this lad for fair. Johnny was voted the smallest boy in the class but that doesn ' t seem to detract any from his ability as a ladio operator. By the way, don ' t you call him WIHPN ? As you would probably expect, Johnny was a member of the Science Club for two years and intends to attend the Eastern Radio Institute. He is also musically in- clined, havmg lent his presence to the Glee Club for one year and the High school or- chestra for two. John pals around with Warren Dahlin and they ' re both that way about radios and YL ' S . MELVIN CLINE Bert The future doctor of our town. He ' s quite stout and very round. Everyone knows Bert and he makes his appearance in full force every Thursday in Muiic period, proving to be a big help to Miss Goeres by passing out the much- loved music books. His melodious voice has been heard in the Glee Club for two years and he has been prominent in the French and Dramatic Clubs. His hobby is floral cul- ture and he plans to enter Northeastern University to study law. He is a memiber of the Commencement Committee. He was also in the Basketball League and created quite a stir when he proved his prowess against tiny Adolph Bonder. ELIZABETH MURPHY Lizzie ' Lizzie ' likes an Indian bold. They certainly keep away the cold. And now here ' s the loudest girl in the Senior Class — so she was voted. But that doesn ' t detract in the least from Lizzie ' s rep or her perfect disposition. By the way, Liz was also voted the most agree- able, too. She was on the Sophomore Hal- lowe ' en Dance Committee, and the Gradua- tion Dress Committee. She also exercised her vocal chords in the Glee Club for three years and took part in Class Day exercises as one of the Pr ophets. Liz has no plans for the future but let ' s wish her success, anyway. VIRGINIA TRACY Trace Is she an athlete? Everyone chimes, ' We ' ll say! ' She ' s good in any line. Virginia has freckles and what goes with them — a sunny disposition. She has been a member of the Latin, French, and Glee Clubs and was also on the Graduation Place Committee. We all like Virginia a lot. In spite of the fact that she lives way out in the sticks we see her every day for she has a fine attendance record. By the way, she will be in the limelight at the ban- quet for she is one of our Class Historians. As yet, Trace has no definite plans for the future but personally we think it ' s her secret ambition to attend M-ass. State. Patronize Semaphore Advertisers Page Thirteen
