The stage is set for the last issue of our “Screech Owl”. We wish to express out 1 grati- tude to Mr. Cole, our principal, who has done so much to make our High School career a successful one, and who has made possible the publication of our school paper. To Miss Walsh, our debt is limitless. She has guided this paper and steered it safely by rocks that might have crushed it. Teachers and friends, we have not the means of telling each of you, how, by doing your bit, you’ve helped to complete a successful year of the “Screech Owl”. We hope that you will give the incoming editorial staff the same assistance that you have so kindly bestowed on us. “The play is done — the curtain drops.” H. G., ’27. 6 THE SCREECH OWL SCHOOL SPIRIT School spirit, — how often we hear these words in school life, and still have only a superficial idea of the meaning they are ' supposed to convey. Each pupil and each teacher has a different translation of it, each manifests it in his own way. Most students find a way to prove their school spirit by their participation and attendance of the innumerable side attractions, such as athletic games, socials, presenta- tions, and the various organizations w ' hich form a part of the modern school. They who have ability in certain lines contribute that as their part in the betterment of their school. Others by their versatility or natural power of leadership and organization make themselves in- valuable in the different side af- fairs. But what of those who have no special gifts, or those who do not often take part in these per- formances ; are they all lacking in school spirit? Many, by various circumstances, are prevented from showing their school spirit in these various ways, and others by nature cannot demon- strate their feeling by sharing in these activities. If this is so, is there no way by which they may reveal their appreciation and their willingness to contribute something to their school, no way by which they may express their school spirit? Orderliness and punctuality are essential for successful and har- monious school life. Co-operation by each individual with the teachers and other pupils, honesty in work and a genuine desire to help those who need it cannot be assumed use- less. Alacrity and spontaneity, and the effort to do the very best in everything, the endeavor to make your school as perfect as possible, and to live up to its ideals — if these exist, school spirit exists, and if these are absent, school spirit as demonstrated by the first way alone will be hardly worthy of the name.

We may not be many in number, We may not be old in years, But People, just let me tell you We’re the best they’ve had in years. And as we go on from school life Our daily burdens to bear, Quality not Quantity, Will be our motto fair. Ruth C. French, ’27. THE SCREECH OWL 7 SENIOR ROLL Oiva Alasaari. Orchestra. Oiva is one of the night owls of our class. We wonder if he still has a fondness for “Vose’s”. We hope to see Oiva rivaling Fritz Kreisler, for he surely has con- siderable talent as a violinist. Mildred Axford. Glee Club. Somehow Mildred has acquired a reputation for primness but don’t be led astray, exteriors are some- times deceiving ! Once upon a time Mildred had a distinct partiality for Stow — but now it’s M. H. S. sophomores Walter Carbone. “Sheik” Orchestra. Here’s to “Sheik”, the handy man of our class! What kind of social would we have without “Sheik” to supply the “Serenaders” and print the tickets and decorate. Gertrude Chandler. Gertrude is one of the dignified members of the class. She retains her poise under all circumstances, a trait which will be valuable in her chosen profession of nursing. William Croft. “Bill” Basketball, Baseball. “Bill” usually greets a classmate with “Hello ! How’s the Grangers?” We’re all guessing where he got it. Winifred Fardy. “Winnie” French Club, Glee Club, Dra- matic Club. Silence ! Everyone quiet, in- tently studying. A giggle ! Faint, then louder, to study is hopeless ! Yes ! You guessed right. It’s “Winnie”. Her giggle is quite fa- mous. Winnie’s also well known for her ability as a pianist and we all wish her success. Esther Fonsell. “Esta” Esther is a splendid swimmer and she also has considerable abil- ity in diving Let us hope she doesn’t lose her ability through over-work or her fondness for pea- nuts. Ruth Foster. “Ruthie” Student Council. Ruth has chosen dietics as her future work. We feel sure she will be successful, for she possesses the splendid quality of dependability so necessary in work of that type. Ruth French. Glee Club ; Student Council. Ruth is famous for her sweet disposition and seldom gets excited, but if you would like to give her a thrill, just walk past her house some morning about six o’clock or earlier and yodel in a long, drawn- out yodel ! Do this two or three times, then go away, but return at seven and repeat the performance! Then watch for results ; we guar- antee prompt action. L ura Gault. Laura is known for her ability as a dancer. We all wish her success in her profession. Harold Glickman. “Harry” Editor-in-chief “Screech Owl” ; Pres, of A. A.; Mgr. basebad and basketball. You know of course that Harold is quite famous as an actor, an orator, and an editor — but perhaps you don’t know that he’s especially good at mathematics ! Why, one day in Trig class he informed us all 8 THE SCREECH OWL very seriously f that he did his example the wrong way, but got the right answer! That’s a feat few of us can boast of. Harry’s a general favorite with his class- mates. Evelyn Gould. “Blondy” Glee Club. In case you don’t know, Evelyn is the “petite” blonde of the class and holds the title of class butter- fly. Evelyn is also talented in literary work. Her stories are especially good. Gertrude Herbert. “Trudie” S ec’t Student Council, Glee Club, French Club, Dramatic Club. Gertrude really has an artist’s eye for harmony ! She selected from the multitude of attractive boys at Maynard High one who is in perfect contrast with her bru- nette coloring ! Dark hair with very light hair is extremely effec- tive and soft brown eyes harmonize beautifully with a clear blue. Yes, he’s a Senior! “ ’Nuff sed,” we all like Trudie. Ellen Jaakkala. “Curly” Staff of Screech Owl” Ellen is famous for her hair and her laugh. She’s also quite a hustler, for she is said to have stated that she could take the seven o’clock train for Boston and arrive at eight. She must have a secret method! Tell us, won’t you, Ellen? Alice Jarvi. Alice is one of the quiet members of the class ! Fortunately there are a few members who uphold the reputation of the class. Martha Janttii. French Club. Martha is one of the class singers. Our days would not be complete without Martha’s breezy smile and nod. Every recess we find Martha at the candy table, cheerfully selling sweets. Helmi Jokinen. Helmi hasn’t changed a bit dur- ing her school years ! Those of us who remember her in the first grade, recognize the same jolly Helmi of today! Margaret Kelley. “Kel” Track Team. Margaret is known as class baby and also the class bluffer. An- other title might be added — that of lifesaver of the Senior English Class. When Senior English gets too bad, and we all tremble in our chairs, Margaret breaks the ten- sion ! A good laugh and we are happy once again. Anna Kozak. Anna is another quiet member of the class. She doesn’t talk a great deal, but she’s recently become a driver and perhaps she’ll become more talkative. Niilo Keto. Vice-President of the class. What would we do without Niilo, the little, big man? If you ever want good refreshments at a social, we recommend Niilo — he’s an expert and when it comes to in- vestments — Niilo ' s no “greenie” l Remember the Warren Kay Van- tine episode Niilo? Tynne Lahti. French Club, “Screech Owl Staff. Tynne is called the best student of the class. She always knows her lesson and when a question i r THE SCREECH OWL 9 askecl — and the rest of us didn ' t have time to learn it— and it means an afternoon session if someone doesn’t know — we look to Tynne ! She never fails us ! It is an un- lucky class which doesn’t have a Tynne and we appreciate ours. Sylvia Lindfors. Sylvia doesn’t say very much in school, but she is persistent in a quiet way! It is a good trait to have. Flamme Lombard. “Flip” Flamme supplies the comedy to an otherwise prosaic class. How dull classes would be without Flamme’s original sayings to light- en the gloom. Helen Lyons. Helen is always pleasant and is welcome everywhere. Just now she’s interested in Mason’s. Perhaps she’s planning to study masonry! How about it, Helen? Ranghild Mark. Pres. Girls’ A. A., Captain Basketball. Ranghild not only holds the title of class beauty, but she’s the most athletic girl as well. With such a good start, she ought to advance rapidly in the business world. Geneva Martin. “Neva” “Neva” has the title of “good girl” of the class. We feel sure she deserves it and hope she’ll always remain the jolly “Neva” of high school days. Margaret Moore. “Peg” Pres. French Club. Glee Club, Student Council, “Screech Owl” Staff, Dramatic Club. Margaret’s brilliance has always been a subject of wonder to her classmates! No matter what reci- tation she has, or how little she’s studied the lesson, she always knows the right answer. “Peg ’ shines brightest in Latin, and we advise her to choose Latin as her subject to teach. Dorothy Mosher. “Dot” “Dot” is one of those fortunate people who never seem to worry. She takes things as they come, without grumbling and is always ready to smile with someone else. Good luck to you, “Dot” ! Ruth Moynihan. French Club, Track, Dramatic Club, “Screech Owl” Staff. Snapping brown eyes — a piquant nose — a merry laugh ! Add to this a great deal of pep and a broad sense of humor, a nd you have— Ruth! If there can possibly be a funny side to anything, Ruth sees it! We’d surely hate to lose Ruth, for half the zest in school life would be gone. Phyllis Naylor. “Phil” French Club — “Screech Owl” Staff. “Phil” specializes in jokes! Any- time you want to know the latest joke or want a new one, apply to Phyllis! She’s also a good tennis player, especially strong on serving ! Gerald Nee. “Jerry” Captain Baseball, Football, Pres. Student Council, Track. “Jerry” is rather fond of canoe- ing, but we advise him not to go too early in the spring ; the water’s apt to be cold! We hope “Jerry” will always be as deliberate in his future undertakings as he is when pitching a game for us. THE SCREECH OWL to Leah Ojanen. Class Secretary. Leah is the most popular girl of our class. Her ready smile com- bined with her pleasing personality has won many friends for her. She has worked hard as a class officer and deserves much credit. Marion Peterson. “Pete” Leader of Glee Club. What would the Glee Club do without Marion’s faithful leader- ship? On the Commercial side, Marion is the “life of the course”. She’s a great favorite among her friends who feel they could not do without her. Hazel Phillips. Hazel is another quiet member of the class. She’s a steady worker and ought to succeed. Grace Ployart. “Gay” French Club, Dramatic Club, “Screech Owl” Staff. Grace fills a niche in class which no other Senior could take. Al- ways jolly, the worst pessimist has to smile when “Gay” is around. She always manages to see the bright side of everything, even a long homework assignment. Hazel Priest. “Screech Owl” Staff. Hazel is noted for diligence among her classmates. Duty always comes first with Hazel. She would certainly be capable of holding a responsible position and we feel sure she will be successful as a business woman. Esther Salo. French Club. Esther is not very fond of home- work! She’s inclined to grumble when a long assignment is given out — but then, we all sympathize with her and she always does her lessons just the same. When Esther looks into space, you may know she’s dreaming some vision and is not merely absent-minded. She also sells candy at recess ! Helen Salo. “Screech Owl” Staff. Helen’s dimples are coveted by several of her classmates, but they don’t seem to bother Helen. She’s a very efficient worker and is de- veloping into quite a poetess! If you haven’t read her poems, we recommend them to you. Frances Piecewicz. Glee Club. Frances is another rather jolly girl. She seems to get a great deal of enjoyment out of life. She, too, plans to enter the business world. Mary Sheridan. Glee Club. Mary’s very good-natured and reliable. Just the type for a nurse, and we all feel she has chosen her profession wisely. Elizabeth Slimond. Glee Club. As a “matter of fact”, Elizabeth is the soloist of our class. If there is no limit to high notes, there is no telling how high Elizabeth may reach. Her ambition is to reach high C. Edward Vodoklys. “Eddie” Class President. “Eddie” is frequently known as the baby of the class, regardless of his honorable position as president. His perpetual smile is the proof of a pleasant disposition. THE SCREECH OWL 11 Lillian Weaving. “Lil” Student Council, Glee Club. “Lil” is very determined, once she makes up her mind to do a thing. She’s quite a star in tennis, and shows promise of rivaling Helen Wills ! Leo Weckstrom. “Sleepy” Leo is quite a talented member of the class. His skill as a trom- bone player is well-known and we expect to see him advance rapidly in music. He’s also famous for wit! We couldn’t get along with- out “Sleepy”. Ruth Wilson. Class Treasurer, Student Coun- cil, “Screech Owl” Staff, Glee Club, French Club. “I take all knowledge to be my province.” Yes, Ruth is a real student. We all admire her and feel that she will win fame with her pen. Ernest Wollerschied. “Ernie” “Ernie” is one of the faithful members of the class. He is also kn own as the “good boy” of the class. R. I. W., ’27. A REVERIE After the day is done, and the shadows of night have pervaded the land, when your heart is filled with the thoughts, doubts, and questions of the day and your soul sick with the sordidness it has gathered through the day, what could be better than a silent con- sultation with yourself, under the glory of the heavens with its mantle of stars and solitary moon. It is then, alone with yourself and Maker, that the true meaning of life unfolds before you. How un- important seem your troubles, your thoughts, and worries when the full splendor of the firmament lies be- fore you ! How insignificant you seem, your greatest efforts and ac- complishments, and how worthless your ambitions, hopes, and f ears! With this realization come ques- tions, which from the depth of your heart, on the altar of Truth you are compelled to answer. “What have I ever done for the good of some one else? Have I done my best with a cheerful heart, accept- ing the faults of others with tolera- tion? Have I always done what I thought was right, without thought THE SCREECH OWL 12 or reward or personal gain ? Have I ever had an unselfish thought, a noble aim?” Then come the thoughts of all you love, the beauty and wonder of -the universe, of the friends you love and who love you, and the realization of all you have to be thankful for, and in anguish you cry out “What am I that I should receive all this? What can I ever hope to do to half repay for what I worthlessly receive?” And the answer seems to come to you, “Do your best in all things.” With the simple, radiant, ethereal beauty of the night before your eyes, its hushed, sacred silence, gently broken by the twitter of a bird asleep on the branch above you, the quiver of a leaf, and the gentle, scent-laden breeze which softly fans your cheek, the soul is filled with awe and reverence, the heart o’er flooded with ineffable happiness and infinite peace. Salme Wirkkanen, ’30. BOTHERED BY ANTS Spring is here, and so are ants. When an ant butts into the butlery for a drink of milk when- ever it feeis thirsty, or goes to the cupboard with the same freedom as one of the family, it soon wears out its welcome. Here are a few hints for the elimination of ants from the house- hold. They will be especially bene- ficial to those seniors who expect to be housemaids when they graduate. Try these suggestions, and ants will soon make themselves scarce around the house. Conceal yourself in the pantry and keep very quiet. When an ant opens the door without knocking, grab him quickly by the neck. This is very important. When you grab the ant in this fashion, he will be a good deal shocked and surprised ; and when he finds you have him where the hair is short, so to speak, he will try to apologize — but don’t accept the apology. Be firm on this point. The next step is to secure a pan of water. It is better to have the temperature of the water at the freezing point, and then hold the ant’s legs under the water. Doing this gives the ant very cold feet. After you have held his legs under the water for some time, release him. To see an ant scamper to his hole after a fresh water treatment is very laughable and you will appre- ciate the spectacle tremendously. You may be sure this ant will never bother you again. He will spread the news to the other ants, cousins and uncles, and they will pack up and migrate to the nearest neighbors. Repeat the operation until your house becames antless. F. Lombard, ’27. THE SACRIFICE The morning sun, peeping over the rim of the rock wall, flooded the level floor of the valley in radi- ance, and tinted the multi-colored rocks of the surrounding cliff with brilliant hues. A single cabin nestled at the base of the cliff from whose chimney a thin wisp of smoke curled lazily upward. Opening the flap of his tent, George Stewart gazed upon the splendour of the sunrise. The very air seemed to sparkle with the promise of the coming day. Standing motionless, Stewart re- viewed his work of the last few days, and in that invigorating at THE SCREECH OWL 13 mosphere so adaptable to action, pictured the future as a series of years, crowded with happy events and continuous progress, based upon the splendid sucess of his first assignment, here in the far west. A large irrigation concern sent this promising young engineer to investigate and report upon the available land practicable for a huge irrigation reservoir. A generous commission and probable advance- ment would result from a favorable report. Stewart spent several weeks searching for a suitable site, but until a few days ago had been un- successful. Much discouraged, he wearily climbed the steep ascent to the rim of the rock wall where the sight of an immense valley, en- tirely enclosed by cliffs, amazed him. Elated, because he recog- nized the possiblities of the loca- tion, Stewart hastened to pitch his tent and began a thorough investi- gation. This morning his investigation completed and his report finished, he was making preparation to leave, when the sharp ciatter of hooffs and a distinct “Hello there,” startled him from his reverie. He turned abruptly and was somewhat surprised to see a slender girl jump lightly from her horse and ap- proach him. She nodded briefly, and without other formalities, acquainted him with the purpose of her coming. With a sweeping gesture of her hand, she indicated the cabin at the base of the cliff as her home, and spoke of the advanced age of her parents. Stewart noted the fleeting expression of love and tenderness, which flickered across her features as she spoke of them. She had come to beg him to abandon his plan of converting this beautiful valley into a reservoir. She drew for him a vivid picture of her parents, attached to the home which had witnessed the birth of each of their children, and the death of all but one ; of the numer- ous memories, too precious to be so rudely snatched away ; of the graves upon the hillside, which never lacked a cluster of fragrant blooms ; of their age, which would prevent them from beginning life anew in a strange place ; of the unhappiness and heartache the forced abandonment of their home would cause. She reminded him of the few years of happiness left to them saying: “Surely an interval of two or three years will not matter so very much.” Finally, with a winsome smile, she mounted her horse and rode away, leaving Stewart to troubled reflections. The day faded in the west and still he had arrived at no decision. Self-advancement and sympathy for the old couple fought for su- premacy in his mind. Self argued: “why give up all prospect of success and wealth, for the whim of these people too old to be responsible?” Sympathy responded : “what if it were my father and my mother? would that alter my attitude?” Thus he was torn by conflicting emotions throughout the night. Morning came, and as he gazed once more upon the gorgeous spec- tacle of a sunrise upon the rim- rock, he made the supreme sacri- fice. He sacrificed success and the attendant attributes of success upon the altar of compassion. Ruth I. Wilson, ’ 27 . 14 THE SCREECH OWL CLASS POEM (Suggested by Carrie Jacobs- Bond’s “Perfect Day”) 1 . We have climbed the deep slope of the mountain-side, We have conquered the rugged steep, There were many sharp pebbles in the path, And many a rock to leap. Perhaps we have left a few stones unturned, In this struggle to reach the height, But each little fault brought ex- perience And led us toward the light. Each heart has been bound by a purpose clear, Each mind on the prize was bent, But at last we have reached the summit here And we pause for the moment con- tent. 2 . We have come to the end of these happy years, The end of our high school days, And we look back over the joys and woes, That have come to us on our ways. And we think of the end of com- panionship, Which never more shall be, For we’ve come to the parting of the road, And each life has a different key. So, while we stand at this bend in the road, We linger to say goodbye, And each of us wishes our class- mates — good luck, With no storms, just a clear blue sky. GYPSY LIFE 1 . Over ' woods and fields I roam, For I’m a gypsy without a home; Nature’s wanderer of the earth, Filled with joy, vigor, and mirth. 2 . Music is my soul’s delight It makes the hours a little more bright ; Joyfully I wander without a care, Here and there, and everywhere. 3. Under twinkling stars of eve, Dreams of happiness I softly weave ; Under the spell of the fairy moon, I render forth a gypsy tune. Helen M. Salo, ’27. WORK AND SMILE 1 . When the sky is bright and blue, And you are lonesome the whole day through, Just turn your lips and make a smile, Your blues will last only a little while. 2 . When you are tired and lazy at work Don’t get idle and begin to shirk, You’ll have the work some day to do, So do it now so that you’ll be through. 3. When at studies you’re beckoned away, To the movies or other places, astray, If your work’s undone, then say “no” For you will regret it if you go. Ruth Foster, ’27. THE SCREECH OWL 15 4 . Keep in mind all these facts, And from day to day do your tasks, Smile as you do them, and do not sigh, The work will be easy if hard you try. H. Forsten, ’30. IN THE LIBRARY Books are here, books are there, Large and small are everywhere, Rows and rows of books that bring Joy and cheer to every kin. Volumes, that bulge with worldly news, Texts, that solve riddles, with clues, Comedies which burst with joyful mirth, Books that are read all over the earth. Novels that are true to life, Histories that relate of strife, Books that are your dearest friends, Books that are faithful to the end. Esther Salo, ’27. CLASS SONG “FAREWELL” TO ALMA MATER I Let us bid our last “Farewell” To Dear Old Maynard High No more to listen to those bells, Of Dear Old Maynard High. Seniors one and Seniors all Bid “Farewell” to those dear halls, No more our shouts or our dear calls To echo through those walls. Chorus Our Alma Mater ever so dear We’ll hold before us as we steer Unto life’s main and dreary way And now “Farewell” we say. II Now the time for us has come To recall the points we’ve won, Those French and English lessons done That Seniors never shun. First we sing and then we sigh For our closing day is nigh, Another class will take our place Since we the World must face. Winifred J. Fardy, ’27. STATISTICS FOR 1927 Class Baby: Margaret Kelley.

ALUMNI NOTES ALUMNI NOTES O — is for ONWARD. Each June sees thousands of youths, young men and young women, leaving the friends and places they have learned to love, and the never failing protection of home. Some will enter the world’s affairs, and others will move to the higher institutions of learning. But whatever may be our purpose, may we realize our debt to mankind, and ever push onward toward the Great and Final Triumph. N— is for NIILO. We, as Alum- ni, are glad to welcome Niilo Keto, ’27 into our ranks. Al- though Niilo has just finished a business course, we prophesy that the stage may feel the need of just such a young man, who plays the villainous dude so well, and generally mixes up affairs. Judging from Niilo’s actions in the Senior Play, his apparently quiet and reserved habits will in no way interfer e with his acting. T— is for TOGETHER. We sin- cerely hope that the Graduat- ing Class of 1927 may do better than their predecessors in getting together at least once after they have passed through the doors of M. H. S. for the last time. O— is for OIVA. We, as Alumni, are glad to welcome Oiva Alasaari, ’27 to our ranks. We understand that he plans to at- tend a business school in Bos- ton next fail. Good luck to you Oiva ! S- — is for SALO. The Alumni are glad to welcome the Salo sisters to their ranks, and hope that they may meet with the finest success in the business world. U— is for UNIVERSITY. We welcome “Gert” Herbert and Ruth Moynihan, both ’27, to our ranks and hope that they may be able to continue their studying at Boston University as they have planned. C— is for CHANDLER. We wish to extend a welcome hand to Gertrude Chandler, ’27. It is rumored that “Gert” is plan- ning to become a nurse. We wish her the best luck with her future studies. C— is for CARBONE. We wel- come Walter Carbone, ’27 to our ranks. We have heard that the “Shiek” wants to be- come an Electrical Engineer. We think he has made a wise selection of his future occupa- tion because we know he could never be shocked. E— is for “EDDIE” and ELLEN THE SCREECH OWL 17 ’27. We welcome them both, together, and hope that they may find success and happi- ness in the same way. For Eddie’s -sake we hope that the weather may continue very warm and that the ice business may be excellent. P. S. “Ed” is the President of the Class of ’27. S — is for SHERIDAN. We wel- come Mary Sheridan, ’27 into our midst, and hope that she may reach her goal and be- come a Trained Nurse. S — -is for SUCCESS. Wishing each and every member of the Class of 1927 the greatest suc- cess in the years following their graduation from M.H.S. E, Holt (AL Ed.), COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT EFFICIENCY What is one of the essential •qualities that a young man or woman must possess today? It is Efficiency. We may not be con- scious of the fact, but everyone is either efficient or inefficient. We are all classed by the little things we do rather than the larger things. Nothing will ever be gained by loafing. By this I don’t mean loaf- ing day in and day out, but by letting our spare moments go by unnoticed. We can make very good use of them either by study- ing or the right kind of recreation. When a task is waiting for you, do it immediately. No person was ever efficient who put off until to- morrow. Let’s strive ever to do the duty nearest, and then to make our spare time worth while ! Hazel Priest, ’27. OBSERVATIONS ON THE SENIOR CLASS No doubt you have all heard about the blunder that Eddie Vodoklys made when Mr. Kennedy asked him what etiquette was. Poor Eddie thought and thought and at last thought he was stumped, when suddenly a bright idea came to him and he spoke up and said, “It’s saying ‘No, thank you’ when you want to say ‘Gimme’.” Mildred Axford was seen taking a walk in the woods one day. May- be she likes all the “forests”, who knows ? Hazel J. Priest, A studious lass, She is the “Head Light” Of our Senior Class. THE MIRACLE Zip! Boom! Bang! Purr! From the depths of silence it had as- cended to a thunderous roll. Sud- den silepce. Once more the noise of a cannon roll. Changing to sharp stacatto sounds which faded away in the distance. As this oc- curred heads were bared and si- lence once more reigned. The miracle had happened. At last Edward Vodoklys’ Ford had started. H.

Then on the Eve of June the Fourth, The group of Seniors will con- sort. With a bounteous banquet and dance, Where the public are invited to prance. III. By the end of June the trials will arrive Of the Seniors and their lives. When they march up the aisle that night They’ll make a very pretty sight. Ranghild Mark, ’27. SENIOR GLIMPSES I Wonder — Why Hazel Priest thinks the Ford is the best car on the market (2 reasons) ? Why Geneva Martin likes butter and eggs so well? Why Helen Lyons is so friendly with Evelyn Mason ? Whose car it is that we see so often in front of French’s house? Why Ellen Jaakkola doesn’t curl her hair? Why Esther Fonsell is so quiet lately ? If Helen Salo’s wave is perma- THE SCREECH OWL 19 nent (watch it during rainy What will make Ruth Wilson weather) ? look cross.

But why not have more editorials by the editor him- self? “The Templeton Tempter” “The Screech Owl” Your magazine Is new to., us, and we congratulate you upon your in- teresting material. Each depart- ment is well-written, but why not enlarge them? Your poetry is very good. A table of contents would improve your magazine greatly. Come again! “Drury Academe” “The Screech Owl” The Screech Owl is, fortunately, of a quieter tone than might be in- ferred from its spectacular and rather flaming title. This is a new magazine and we feel confident that it will soon make itself heard. The first issue displays promising literary and poetic contributions. We hope the publication will soon be in a position to carry cuts and illustrations as these seem to be the only missing factor in a well- organized paper. “The Tatler” CAN SCIENCE CONTROL THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD? Having achieved great conquests on land and air, we wonder if science can leash the mighty waters that rise and break their bounds. All that man has done is to watch this great flood rear its swollen crest and thousands seek safety by swarming the levees and by pil- THE SCREECH OWL 20 in g sand bag reinforcements. This flood has done $500,000,000 worth of damage and is the thir- teenth Mississippi flood in less than half a century. Engineers and scientists say, “There must be no more ’ What can be done and how? One day last April at Memphis, Tennessee two million cubic feet of water swept past every second — the volume of ten Niagaras. A few days later, at Vicksberg the great- est river levee gave way, pouring forth two-thirds of the nation’s drainage from the Mississippi and its two hundred and forty tribu- taries. Today a warning of a coming flood can be forecast weeks ahead. That is what unquestionably saved hundreds of lives. The first warn- ing was in August, 1926, when the waters of the rivers in Kansas and Oklahoma were raised by heavy rainfall. Scientists say the causes of this flood were the heavy rainfalls in Mississippi Valley, melting snow in the Rocky and Allegheny Moun- tains, and heavy silt deposits in the beds of the rivers. Every year the levees have been built nearer the centers of the rivers, making these rivers much narrower. Deforesta- tion has also helped create this enormous flood. The government is now con- structing concrete levees at a greater distance from the centers of the rivers than the old sand levees. This will make the rivers more like large lakes. At present the Mississippi’s crest is falling back to normal. Walter Carbone, ’27. THE AGE OF SCIENCE We Americans are now living in a scientific age. We can readily pride ourselves on being citizens of the greatest mechanical nation on earth. We have more railroads, telephones, elevators, electrical plants, automobiles, and more fac- tories than any other country in the world. Young children show their liking for mechanism at an early age by playing with toy trains, model bridges, and many other such toys. Boys, and even girls, take an in- terest in this particular work and spend hours poring over scientific magazines and working out experi- ments. A person in the present age showing any signs of interest in such matters is encouraged. This view is quite different from that of past years, for an inventor was then scorned and laughed at and called a waster. Men have risked their lives and many have even died for the scien- tific cause. Only a very short time ago one man flew all alone across, the Atlantic Ocean. He is now winning renown and fame from all the world. Why? Because his daring feat is now offering a new opening in the scientific world which will be a great help to man- kind in the near future. Inventions we now hav e such as the telephone, the radio, airplane, electric lights, and many others are so essential in a person’s life that we wonder how people ever got along without them. How easy it is to take down a receiver, repeat a number and in two seconds talk with somebody in another part of the town. But stop and think of the number of dis- couraging years that Alexander Graham Bell had to work in order to perfect such an invention for our benefit. No reward is too gre?.t for men who spend their lives for science. THE SCREECH OWL 21 One of the most popular ques- tions of today is “Are there any new inventions possible ? Have we discovered them all ?” There are new inventions possible and the answer to the latter question is ' “No” for I believe that from a scientific viewpoint we ' are yet a backward nation, for there are just as many more unbelieveable things to be discovered. “Those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact.” Doris L. Dawson, ’30.

From the first chord of the grand march until the strains of the last waltz had died away, everyone thoroughly enjoyed himself. The hall was beautifully deco- rated in blue and gold, the class colors. The members of the class, led by George Tucker, President, and Jeannette Johnston, Vice- President, entered the hall at eight o’clock and the customary prom- enade was held. The matrons were Mrs. Joseph Tucker, Mrs. William Johnston, Mrs. Fred Hill, Mrs. A. R. C. Cole, and Mrs. J. P. Fog- well. The reception was followed by dancing which continued until one o’clock. During intermission, punch was served by members of the Sophomore Class. The success of the prom was due in a large degree to the efforts of Miss Kennedy, class teacher, who was assisted by the officers and by the committees appointed by the class. E. F., ’28. ASSEMBLY NOTES A very interesting program was presented on May 27, in recogni- tion of Memorial Day. The enter- tainment included essays and poems and songs which were given by Virginia Lawson, Helen Brown, Harold Glickman, Michael Phillips, and Martha Jantti. Sylvia Ahola introduced the entertainers. Miss Wallingford was in charge of the program. The pupils and faculty enjoyed some moving pictures on June 3. They were in charge of the Science Department of which Mr. Reardon is the teacher. The program was both interesting and educational. SENIOR ACTIVITIES FOOD SALE The Senior Class held a success- ful food sale at Fearn’s drug store on May 14. The committee com- posed of Marion Peterson, Mary Sheridan, and Margaret Moore, wish to thank all the patrons and undergraduates who helped to make this food sale a success. 5r Members of f l ie S.O. staff- ' M arconi • — THE SCREECH OWL 23 BANQUET The Sen ior Class and guests had an enjoyable time at the Class Banquet which was held in the Gymnasium, Saturday evening, June 4.
