To the Seniors : A ' e. the Senior Class, chose as our motto. Life is what you make it. Re- member this, classmates, as you go out into a cold and unfriendly world to try and make your living. Keep this in your mind when you are discouraged and dis- heartened, and let nothing and nobodv change it or make you forget it. You will perhaps not, unless you are lucky, be able to secure the kind of employ- ment you want to do. But while you are working in some inferior job be- cause of necessity, do not forget that you are going higher. Fix your mind on a goal and work towards this un- ceasingly. Do not stray from the path you have planned out, for then it is much Page Four harder to get back on again. Brush each obstacle out of your way and if you can ' t do this walk around it. but in the right direction. Believing in yourself is half of the battle, so whatever your mistakes have been remember them only long enough to correct them. Make each day count and you will be a success, if you remember and believe, Life is what you make it. To the Teachers : We want to thank you for your inter- est shown us. We appreciate the hard work you have done, and hope that the associations with our Senior Class have been as pleasant for you as they have been for us. Patronize Semaphore Advertisers

STOUGHTON HIGH SCHOOL 1935 Senior Statistics 1935 Adviser — Miss Christine Donovan CLASS OFFICERS President — Kenneth Donahue Treasurer — Francis Vinskus Vice-President — ' Mary Dee Secretary — Hazel Burns Class Song — Barbara Fritchie Class Colors — Blue and White Class Motto — Life is what you make it. HAZEL BURNS Cute, petite, and active describes Hazel to a T. She was captain of the Basketball team. She is our Class Secretary. She is a member of the Semaphore Staff and be- sides this she has been on many coimmittees, and belonged to many clubs. ANNE TUMONIS Anne is our star athlete. She has play- ed Basketball four years and Hockey three. She is on the Class Gifts Committee. She is an attractive blonde and well-liked. JOSEPH WALENT Joe has a lot of humor tucked up his sleeve which he only displays occasionally but it is worth waiting for. He is on the Class Gifts Committee. SAMUEL WALLACE Sammy always has a pocket full of wise cracks. He shines] at League meetings, where, as an orator he is very impressive, excepting when the wanderlust igets the best of him. SAMUEL CONNELL Sam, it seems, has a secret yen to be a bartender, which we never would have sus- pected for he certainly does not look the part. MARJORIE FAY Marjiorie is quite a girl. She provides us with lots of fun for she is just too funny. Lnagine her embarrassment when she came to school without her eyehrows one morning. Patronize Semaphore Advertisers KENNETH DONAHUE Kenny is our Class President. He has played Baseball for four years and was the captain this year. He played Basketball for three years. He is President of the Art Club, and Art Editor on the Sema- phore. He has also been a member of numerous committees. He is very dis- tinijuished looking, at least lots of the giiis think so. ALFRED CHESTNUT When Alfie isn ' t losing wind in orches- tra practice he is out| on the diamond chasing flies. As that husky mystery man on the Basketball team of the Masked Mar- vels, Chesty made a big hit. STANLEY BETTONEY Stan has gained recognition on both the gridiron and diamond, but we remem- ' ber him as the high-light of the track meet held when he was a Sophomore. His jumping and running were unsurpassed. ROBERT LEAHY Bob Leahy has a good eye as pitcher on the Baseball team, as forward on the Basketball team and in lining up the red- heads. Bo ' b ' s grin and contagious laugh have spoiled many a teacher ' s unflinching discipline. STEVEN SIMANAVICH Stevie carries off ' honors on the Foot- ball field, Baseball diamond and at Basket- ball. He is known to us as Percy of Senior Play fame, and although he couldn ' t handle Dolday, perhaps it was just because she wasn ' t the right girl. (How about it, Bro ?) Page Five
