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 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

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.
