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

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

THE SEMAPHORE WESTLEY COULTER Naturally Westley is an active mem- (ber of the Dramatic Club. He is a char- ter member of the Orchestra. Basil in- tends to be a teacher. (Remember your lown school days and don ' t be too hard on the kids.) BERNARD JATUL We all knew that Bernie excelled in his studies but it wasn ' i until the night of the Senior Play that we discovered a hid- den talent. In the part of an elderly Romeo he was superb as Uncle Jerome. WILLIAM HOWES Bill is going to be a psychologist. At least he ' s getting a good start; not only by studying the mind but — does he pay at- tention to the wavey tresses of a certain iblue-eyed brunette. In more serious mo- ments, he keeps the Dramatic Club under control. (As President.) WILLIAM DIBBERN Wild Bill is rather serious but abso- lutely enjoys a certain game known as Foiotball. Winnie just loves Football heroes; consequently, Bill goes over ' big at Brockton Hedghts. He plans to be a teacher. ARTHUR RADVILAS Take a deep breath — here goes: Base- ball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Football, 2, 3, 4 (Captain); Basketball, 2, 3, 4 (Co-Captain); Student Council, 1 ; Junior Prom, Junior Ring and Graduation Committees, as well as being a Class Historian. We ' ll be following your career in the newspapers, Art . ALICE BOLIN Lisa has served capably on the Sema- phoi-e staff for four years. In our Senior year, she has won deserving praise as a very efficient Editor-in-Chief. Her spontaneous, enthusiastic personality has made her a welcome member of many clubs. President of the Senior f ' rench Club and Daphne of the Senior Play. BARBARA TWOMBLY Barbara was President of the Glee Club in her Senior year, and Treasurer for three years of the Dramatic Club. She has also been active in many other clubs and on many committees. She will be remembered as Dolda in the Senior Play. Funny how one always thinks of Alfred in con- nection with Barbara. EARL WAHL Earl ' s dancing ability plus hisj pleasant personality makes a perfect combination. (Ask Daffy.) He has also the soul of an artist; Art Club second and third years. RONALD BARTLETT Bart has gained fame for S. H. S. as being unusually clever on the mound . He is Chairman of our Banquet Committee and in his Junior year decorated the hall for Prom, and speaking of decorations, you all probably know that Bart thinks a certain red-head it just it . RICHARD DRAKE Richie is quite a heart breaker. Won- der what the magnetic drawing powers of Sharon hold for him? He was an active member of the Science Club as a Freshman and has been in the Camera Club during his Senior year. ALLAN BEALE Allan is one of the class musicians, and perhaps some day we ' ll all be playing or singing his music. Allan must have a magnetic personality ; anyhow, we can ' t keep track of his affairs, which change as quickly as the weather. LOUISE WERESKA Louise has been a very busy lady. She was our Vice-President, 2, 3; member of Student Council, 2, 3. She has belonged to numerous clubs and committees. She received letters in Basketball and Hockey. It seems that Rus is interested in her work, too. GORDON FULLER Gordon is a fellow we known very little about, but we do know he loves to roller- skate. Banquet Committee.
