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. SCHOOL NEWS wmmm ' A ” HONOR ROLL FOR FOURTH TERM Sylvia Ahola, ’28; Alice Fearns, MO ; Ruth Foster, ’2 7 ; Mark Kelly, MO ; Signe Kivinen, MO ; Arne Ol- 111a, MO; Salme Wirkkanen, MO, JUNIOR PROM One of the most successful af- fairs ever held at Maynard High was the Junior Prom of the class of 1928, which took place on April 29. 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.
