STOUGHTON HIGH SCHOOL ALEXANDER WANCUS Al He ' s tile ' wise-guy ' of our class, Whos« booming voice we ' ll never surpass. Al put his nickname down as Rats but we aie inclined to disagree. Although he has taken no part in sports, Al has shown his prowess as a pitcher in baseball. A noted feature of Al ' s is his deep bass voice which he vainly tried to get under control in the Glee Club in his first and third years. He also was a member of the Commencement Committee. RUTH SMITH Jeff Here ' s ' Ruthie ' ; ' though kind of plump. She causes many a throat to lump. Jeff is just as her name implies — very petite . She is good natuied and just loves to romp around the gym during gym classes. The French Club has vouched for her presence and she was on the Reception Committee. JefF says she ' s going to Business School to further her career as a stenographer. SARAH IRWIN Sally Here ' s a girl that ' s easy on the eyes; She ' s very popular with us ' guys ' . Sally joined the ranks of ye Stough- tonites during the Junior year. However, since then she has come into the limelight considei ably. She wasj chairman of the Graduation Place Committee and in the Ivy Day Sketch. As Florrie, in the Senior Play, Sally made an adorable young- er sister and filled the part to a T . She has no plans for the future other than re- turning for a P. G. course next year. JOHIn KLUND Tubby Tubby ' s a very likable kid. And willing to do the least little bid. Tubby was voted the best looking boy in the Senior Class. He was co-captain of the basketball team and received three let- ters in this sport, besides four letters in basehall. Despite all this activity, Tubby was also prominent in other school aft ' airs, being a member of the Graduation Dress C;nimittee, Junior Prrtm. Committee, and the Banquet Committee. Tubby took the commercial course and aspires to be a heap big business man . Patronize Semaphore Advertisers JACK DRUKER ' Yunk Here ' s a hustler and business man. If ads are needed, you ' ll find he can. S ' toughton High will lose one of the most willing workers it has had for several years when Yunk leaves here in al few days. He has been a one-man business staff of the SEMAPHORE for the past two years, and this humble publication owes much to him for his splendid woik in soliciting .ad- vci tisements. Although a natural-boin woman-hater. Jack ' s wavy blond hair has swayed many a girl ' s glance. Besides be- ing ti-ack and basketoall manager during the last two years, he has found the time and energy to be an active member of the Glee, French, and Science Clubs, not to name all the various dance. Prom., and graduation committees. He was Vice-Pres- dent of the Class during his Sophomore year, also. Having taken an active part in all advertising and publicity work during his tei-m in school, it is only natural for him to announce that he intends to make Sales and Advertising his career. With his am- bition and energy, he is sure to be a suc- cess in this field. Good luck. Jack! VICTOR WINROTH Vic Here ' s a lad in a love tangle, Someone ' s neck he ' d love to strangle. We all recognize Vic by his neatness and his ironic humor. Has anyone ever seen Vic when his face wasn ' t beaming like a new penny? He has a good start for his deep, dark, secret ambition. He intends to go to Tufts ' Medical School to become a dashing young doctor. He has served on the Junior Prom. Committee, the Class Ring Committee, and the SEMAPHORE staflT. He caps the climax and ends his High school career as Ivy Orator on Class Day. Good luck, Vic . WALTER PHILLIPS Phil His passion is for pretty ' dames ' . He gets along, (so he claims). Walter supported the Basketball, Foot- ball, and Track teams during his Fresh- man year. He was a member of the Glee Club for three years and the French Club during his Sophomoie year. He was the His- torian for the Junior year at the Senior Banquet. He expects to go to some busi- ness school and learn to juggle figures. Good luck, Walter Page Seven

THE SEMAPHORE SENIOR STATISTICS MISS CHRISTINE DONOVAN, Senior Class Adviser A thousand l)ouquets of thanks to the guiding hand of the Class of Thirty-four! Ords alone can not express our ajjpreciation for the many helpful bits of advice and suggestions so readily and volun- tarily offered by our Class Adviser — Miss Christine Donovan. She is the personification of patience, wis- dom and cheerfulness, always willing to assist and to make the many problems encountered in Senior ac- tivities much easier. Goodbye and good luck, Miss Donovan, and may you always hold the respect and admiration of your charges as dearly as we cherish the memories of you in this parting! LEO MITKIEVICZ Mitt An outstanding performer on the football team, But he has a passion for photos, it seems Mitzy has all the qualities of a fine sport and a popular student. He is renown- ed for his easy-going manner and his care- fiee disposition. Leo never has been known to exert himself unduly over any task; this may be the reason that he has less gray hair than the rest of us. Mitzy played tackle on the football team and during the spring he managed the baseball team. Dur- ing the latter years of his High School career, Leo has become more serious and conscientious than he formerly was. He plans to go to Tufts College on the Heights of Medford. We hope that he attains suc- cess and reaches his goal on the Heights. HELEN WHITING Helen Helen ' s sweet. We ' ve said enough. Helen was voted the most beneficial girl in the Senior Class and there ' s no doubt about that, for of course you know she is vice-president of our class, and consequent- ly has lent her opinions and ideas to sev- eral committees throughout the year — the Graduation Committee, Place Committee, Prom. Committee, Senior Play Committee, and Dress Committee. She has also been a member of the Art Club, Glee Club, and Latin Club. She has aho been on the Honor Roll continuously during the Senior year. Page Six CHARLES SNOWDALE Charlie Another actor of our play gone past, Success to you and may it last. Chailie ' s ear-to-ear grin is one of his most positively identifying characteristics. He found no interest in athletics during his four years at Stoughton High, being musically inclined. For the past two years he has been responsible for that off-key clarinet squeak which is heard rei ularly every Thursday during orchestra rehearsal. The Glee, French, and Science Clubs also claimed him as a member. As Farone in the Senior Class Play, he mystified the audience to the very end as to whether he was the hero or the villain. Charlie has no definite plans in mind for his future, but we heartily hope that he finds his place in life in time to be a success. BEATRICE PHILLIPS Bea ' Bea ' is reckless behind the wheel. Causing brakes to howl and squeal. Have you seen Bea ' s class pictures? They came out perfectly swell! Bea has been very active in school affairs, hav- ing taken part in French, Glee, Art, and Dramatic Clubs, Gift Committee, and Grad- uation Dress Committee. As the Ghost Woman in the Senior Play, she was won- derful and portrayed the character very well. Bea is well liked by everyone and is renowned for her famous (or infernal) giggle. She plans to attend Simmons Col- lege next year. Loads of luck, Bea . Patronize Semaphore Advertisers

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.
