194 1 SEMAPHORE WILLIAM WEBSTER Bill, the leader of our class, Is head man at the bank; His wife ' s a dream — his children, ah! The fourth one ' s name is Hank. ELEANOR WILLIAMS When you wonder about your food, Elly can set you at rest, She knows about these vitamins You store beneath your vest. JACQUELINE WETZEL We knew she wanted to be a nurse, But some bit of fate, you know, Made Jackie the A-1 housewife, With hubby the A-1 beau. EDWARD WILLIS Shoveling dirt ' s his occupation, He heaves with a mighty arm; He used to boast when just a kid That he would own a farm. PRISCILLA WHITTEMORE HARRY WILSON Pussy has a lot of knowledge; Harry owns some smart garages. After graduating from Mass. State College, He can fix up any car, A bacteriologist is she He is his own mechanic. And chases away bugs for a very small fee. He can beat them all by far. 26

SEMAPHORE 1941 JAMES RUBEL An auctioneer in tobacco land, Shouting loud his prices ; Screaming so as to be heard, Jimmy ' s in a crisis. OLIVE SWANSON She screams, she yells, she rants, she raves. She even tears her hair; But it has no effect on him — She married him for fair. MARIE RUBEL Mi mi teaches kindergarten, She is doing very well ; One thing she has taught her students Is to say — My teacher ' s swell! EVELYN S WEETMAN Evie is now a sweet housewife, Lives quite an eventful life ; She cooks and sews, and knits and sings And answers the doorbell when it rings. GERALDINE SICILANO In her dad ' s spaghetti house. Dealing out spaghetti, You ' ll find Gerry ; but next week She ' ll be in confetti. GLORIA TAY She has worn out two machines. By pounding all day long; She ' s worn the keys down to the stem, And yet she sings a song. HAROLD SPRAGUE Remember out West a few years ago, Grasshoppers were a plague? No need for worry now. While we have insect-fighter Sprague. VIRGINIA VANSTON Her mind is now among the clouds. Not meaning vacant thought ; A gracious hostess is our Gin Aboard the planes she ' s sought. HERBERT STAPLES A relay runner is our Herb , He is a dashing fellow; He always wears a lucky shade, That is, his pants are yellow. GEORGE WAAL George, the N. Stoughton farmer, Is really in the dough. Lugging fruits to town each day, Every hour or so. ROBERT STEVENS Zooming downward from the clouds, Comes Bob in a Curtis Robin; He really likes this type of work With the engine all a-throbbin ' . ANNIE WALENT Annie ' s a secretary. Blond and trim. Who does her work With pep and vim. ALBENA STRIPINIS Hostess in the new hotel, That sits in Stoughton Square, Albena serves you with a smile — Girls like her are rare. LOUISE WASILUNAS If you happen to forget your lines. Hooray! Your day is saved, Weasie , as the script girl. Has your acting future paved. 25
