NORMAN YOUNG Happy am I from care Vm free, JJ ' hy aren ' t they all eoiiteiitcd like me? Xorman. that very distin- guished looking ' young man is full of .surprises. A certaii. blonde and his playing- on the sridiron were two examples. He is uncertain about his future luit we wish him success ir. whatever he attempts. Football 3. 4. WILLI A.M ZAISKR Bashfithiess is more fre- cjiieiitly coimeeted Ti ' V i aooci sense than zeith ozrrassuraiiee. Aithouffh Bill is seemin;?- iy quiet and unaesumintr. hi.- friends as well as his eng ag--- ing- .- mile attest the fact that li. is a ver lilveable g:entlem-in. Kver willing- to lend a help- ing hand he is noted foi- his chauffeuring. From the assort- ment of cars which Bill has parked in the S. H. S. itudent parking space, we know he is to be an automobile aealer. JOHN ZUMAS Cans ' t thou thunder with a z ' oiee like him. Johnny is the big hu -ky fellow who plays football, sings bass, drives a car and boihers Billy Mitchell. He is very good natured and works after school at the local Texaco .stfi- tion. Senior Play Committee 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2. EDWARD DUNN 11 ' hat ezrr he did zuas done z nth so much ease. Edward Major was one of our football heroes and has car- ried Stoughton through many a successful game. He is verv much interested in athletics of all types and aspires to be a coach. Football 1. 2, 3: Baseball 1. 2; Ba-sketball 1, 2; Glee Club 1. ROBERT HOW ES A bachelor ' s life is a splen- did breakfast, a tolerably flat dinner, and a most niserable supper. Bob is our humorist whose dry wit enlivens any class. He heads the bachelor ' s club and though he does not trip the light fantastic he is many a girl ' s se ' cret heart beat. He is a Liuckv Teter fan. Glee Club 1, 2. W ILLIAM MITCHELL Strong reasons make strong actions. Bill did an excellent job as the wise-cracking salesman in the Senior Play. In real life he has a ready wit and plenty of enthusiasm. He excels on the dance floor and has danced his way into many a maiden ' s heart. Senior Play Cast 4; Gradua- tion Committee 4; Semaphore 1. E ELYN LaFR.VNCE Silence is more eloquoit than Zi. ' ords. Evie , small, dark, and de- cidedly cute is yuite a heart- breaker. However as in every- thing else she is very quiet about it. Vhen ever you see Evie you are sure to see Helen. Glee Club 3, 4. LORETTA LE A ' A quiet mi)id is richer than a crozm. Loretta is appreciated by her friends for her calmness and sereneness of disposition. As a freshman she was a member of the Glee Club; her senior year was occupied with the Commer- cial Club and Senior Play ush- ering. Glee Club 1; Commercial Club 4. JOHN FULLERTON Harmless mirth is the best cordial against the con- sumption of the spirit. Johnny ' s looks are very de- ceiving. One would take him to be meek and mild while in fact he is original, clever, and quite a ladies ' man. His hobby is boat-building. Perhaps it will come to something. Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Page Fourteen

School News ( Continued) The first social event to mark the calender was the Sophomore Hallowe ' en Dance { some of us are beginning to think this is an event for the sophomores to celebrate their becoming upper-classmen) but we all know that the calender shall stay marked in memory of this successful social. The usual clubs were formed by this time and as before they had taken their toll of activity-loving people. The Commercial Club staged a very successful 7th period dance. Xext to show its colors was the Dramatic Club in its Armistice Day Program. The school was surprised and not a little awed to realize they had in their group such grand talent. Later the Dramatic Club again came to the top with its annual Christmas Play which again proved our supply of actors and actresses. About this time, the Semaphore Stafif entertained the Southeastern Massa- chusetts League of School Publications. A detailed account of the meeting will be found elsewhere in this issue. W ' e wish at this time to express our special appreciation to Air. Carlton Guild for his fine League leadership and to Mr. Robert E. Riordan of the Brockton Enterprise for his excellent talk. Next to take the limelight in school life was the annual Senior Class Play. A remarkable, entertaining, and amusing mystery comedy, Lady Lilac . From this representation one need not envy Hollywood for talent, just look at the Senior Play Cast. As time marched on, the Freshmen made their debut in the now customary- Freshman Dance. The Freshmen might have been green in some things but thev certainlv knew how to produce a successful dance. At this time the Semaphore Stafif attended a very pleasant and enjoyable League meeting at Weymouth. It w as the last meeting of the school year. Evelyn Rieser of Stoughton was elected Corresponding Secretary of the League for the coming year. Xext to take the stage was the unusual dance staged by the Dramatic Club. This affair was typed as an afternoon Tea Dance beginning at 3 P. M. and ending at 6 P. ] L It was enjoyed and appreciated by all who attended. Last but by no means least the week of Commencement approaches rapidly. And as this week draws near another class shall depart through the doors of Stoughton High School and with them shall go our sincere wishes and best luck for their future. Page Sixteen
