Mary Jordan leaves her coveted posi- tion as Mr. Randall ' s secretary to the ever-ready Alice Selansky. Lillian Gemme and Helen Whiting leave their stock-room job to Margaret Lannigan and Mary Daly in hopes that they may some day be the proud ])os- sessors of the much needed dust i)an. Jimmie Pye leaves his passion for quick comebacks and snappy garters to Sammy Wallace. We sincerely hope, Sammy , that you will make use of these gifts by taking Physics next year. Vic Winroth leaves his neatness and —oh yes, his ironic humor, to Ralph Dexter in hopes that Rali)h will make use of the humor. Sarah Irwin leaves her jjopularity among the stronger sex to Claire Ken- nedy, hoping that she will use it to the very best advantage. Rob Dexter leaves the knack he has for getting redheads to Jimmie Byron, with the expressed desire, however, that Jimmie leave Lucille Gemme out of his conquests. Joe Joyce and Shippa leave their third period library slips to Joe Ceru- ti and Charlie Hill in hopes that the receivers will accomplish more during third periods than they have in the past. Walter Romanick leaves that artistic ability of his to Kenny Donahue with the fond ho )e that Kenny ' will let a few more people know that he really can draw. Elizabeth Murphy leaves her love for dancing and her passion for U. S. His- tory to Barbara Kennedy in hopes that Barbara will obtain much more joy from the latter than she did. Dot Bird leaves her love of platon- ic friendships to Priscilla Maltby be- cause Dot feels sure that Priscilla would like no other than platonic friends. Virginia Dykeman leaves her stylish clothes to Margery Rand, for we know Margery ' s pet hobby is oodles ' n ' oodles o ' clothes ! Melvin Cline bequeaths his avoirdu- pois to Wreck-em Pentz in hopes that Arthur will use it as one step near- er to his being Tarzan ' s mate. Clarence Benson leaves his passion for farming and dumb animals to Kendall Hami)c, with the hope that Kendall will never abandon his farming for the weaker sex. Joe Daly and Mary Romansky leave their membership in Ye goode olde arte clubbe to Bertha Newmark and Adolph l onda. Richard Wahl and Warren Dahlin re- gretfully leave their places in the S. H. •S. orchestra to any other musically in- clined underclassmen who will play as beautifully if not as woefully as they have. Jack Druker leaves his ability to talk to Alfred Welton in hopes that Alfred will overcome his shyness just as Jack did after four years at Stoughton High School. Howie Franklin leaves those infer- nal spats he wore all winter to any poor underclassman who is troubled with frostbitten feet. Bill Kell leaves a great big piece of chocolate cake to any Sophomore who can stand a good deal of teasing. PaLicnize Semaphore Advertisers Page Fifteen

THE SEMAPHORE FELICIA ZIENKO Terry She knows a good many jokes On everything; including folks. Felicia is a big, husky girl and has light features. During the Freshman year she supported the girls ' hockey team. She was a member of the Home Economics Club and is a member of the Senior Commencement Committee. P ' elicia is undecided as to what she will do in the futuie. We wish her the best of luck and may she have success. STEPHEN LA PORTE Steve He has great powers to catch fish, For he loves them for a dish. Stove is short and light complected and is quite husky for his height. He is a quiet fellow and has taken little part in sports at High school, but he was a mem- ber of the Glee Club during the Senior year. He was also a member of the Senior Commencement Committee. Steve hopes to attend some school where he can learn a trade and we all wish him luck. MARY WALLAN The office girl of period four. She stands guard outside the door. Mary is small and dark and is very quiet. She has received two letters for her ability and skill on the hockey team and went out for the girls ' basketball team during her Freshman year. For two yeais she exercised her voice in thfe Glee Club. She was a mem- ber of the Hiking Club during her Fresh- man year. Mary reveals no plans for the future, but we wish her lots of luck and success. ROBERT RANDALL Fleetfoot They say that ' Bob ' is very quiet. But in Sales he ' s quite a riot. Fleetfoot received his nickname when he proved his ability at the Track Meet last year. He won the half-mile run, came in third in the 440, 880 and the one-mile runs. His speed was an asset to the Football team and the Basketball team. Robert hopes to find work as soon as he graduates. May success and advancement be his throuijhout. ELEANOR KRONA She captures the hearts of men afar. While in her lessons, she ' s far above par. Eleanor is one of the popular girls of the school and can always be found typing a note to her running-mate, Kid Herron, much to the amusement of the various stu- dents who assist in passing it down tiie aisle before teacher finally gets it. Then it is usually read to amuse the class while waiting for the bell to ring. (See Mr. Maf- feo for further details.) The French Club, and Hiking Club have seen Eleanor ' s serv- ices and she has helped keep the back end of the bus down while riding to and from Sumner street. JAMES PYE Jim A baseball hero is big Jim, We certainly owe a lot to him. Jimmie was almost voted the star ath- lete, and why not? — he has received ten of those precious orange S ' s — three in foot- ball, three in basketball, and four in base- ball. Some sportsman, I ' ll say! Jim has also been a member of the French Club, SEMAPHORE staff, Graduation Dress Com- mittee, and Graduation Place Committee, not to mention his aid in making our Jun- or Prom, successful. As Terry , a college student, in the Senior Play, Jim did very well despite the fact that he didn ' t know his cues ' till the night of the play. Jim is exceptionally tall and good-looking — so the belles from Brockton think. He intends to go to either Hufitington Pieparatory or Massachusetts State College. Let ' s hope it ' s Mass. State. Some fun, eh Jim ? WARREN DAHLIN Warren handles all the cash, But has a weakness for feminine dash. You know Warren is the hound who ' s always after Blood Money — better known as class dues. He has been our Class Treas- urer for two years and you can well be as- sured that he has made a nice thing of it . Though a very bashful young man, War- ren has found the gumption to be in the orchestra, French Club, and to be a mem- ber of our beloved SEMAPHORE staff. Warren is very much interested in wave lengths and static and intends to further his education at the Eastern Radio Institute.
