16 THE SCREECH OWL Shiek : Walter Carbone. Class Vamp: Laura Gault. Class Orator : Harold Glickman. Class Teacher: Miss Thompson. Favorite Haunt : Alasaari, Camp. Prue, That’s telling. Carbone, Arlington. Glickman, South Acton. 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 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.

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. G., ’27.
