“Chic” TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL CHARLES KARASINSKI “Chic” is greatly interested in the United States Army Air Corps and if opportunity knocks upon his door, he’s going to join. He also has his own football and baseball teams and in all probability he will be a great coach some day. Although he never went out for school activities he was always a good scholar and no one can say that “Chic” never studied. Plans to join United States Army Air Corps. EDMUND KAWECKI Red’s first last and only interest during his high school career was sports, as you have probably guessed by now. Everyone knows his record on the football field, everyone spurred on the fighting little dynamo — yes, he is famous. He not only went out for football, but baseball as well. He was a track man, too, for a while and member of the “T” Club. Plans undecided. ELSIE KENNEDY “Henry” Elsie, living just across the road as she does is one of those lucky people who can go home at recess for a snack if they have forgotten to have any breakfast. Although hard luck seemed to follow her in her senior year in the way of illness, it did not prevent her from continuing with band, Riding Club and Commercial Club. She has worked on social committees and belonged to the Glee Club. She plans to go to Junior College in St. Petersburg, Florida. MARY KOSEWICZ “Mae” Mary is quite talkative and tries to get acquainted with everyone. She helps them with things that they don’t under- stand. But did you know that she has a quick temper and likes to have her own way! Maybe the most important thing to Mary is dancing. She is very fond of this recreation and goes to many dances. Mary gets along with people easily. Plans undecided. IRVING KRAINSON “Speed” When it comes to sports or to stories Irving is in his prime.
