24 THE SCREECH OWL points being scored from the foul line. Hudson took an early lead in the first half and was never headed, al- though the score was tied at the be- ginning of the last period. Because of the numerous fouls, the playing of both teams was not up to standard, and excitement was at its height among the spectators. When Hudson was still in the van at the final whis- tle, the place turned into a mad-house, as the victory was sweet revenge for the Hudson girls. Maynard 24 — Clinton 14 The Maynard High girls brought their regular season to a close at the high school gymnasium on March 1st by whipping the Clinton girls to the tune of 24-14. Showing the power that brought them through the sea- son with only one defeat, the local sextet completely outplayed the wearers of the Clinton High School colors in a game in which the victors retaliated in great style after the heart-breaking defeat at Hudson the week before. A Wonderful Season! The girls’ basketball team this year gained a wonderful reputation for themselves on the court by going through the season with only one de- feat, and that by one point. With a sharp-shooting forward line composed of Capt. Catherine Coughlan, Dorothy Marsden, and Violet Koskela, May- nard had nothing to fear as to scor- ing points; and with a defense made up of Eleanor Lawson, Helen Sczer- zen, and Edith Perkins, they raised havoc with their opponents. The best news of all, however, is that the squad will lose only two players by graduation. One regular, Edith Perkins, and Marguerite Tier- ney, first rate substitute, will receive diplomas in June. Prospects for next year, then, could not be better; for of this great team Coach George Rup- precht will again have five regulars and all but one of his substitutes. It does not have to be said that every- one wishes next year’s team the best of luck.

GIRLS’ ATHLETICS After several weeks of strenuous practice, the Maynard girls opened their 1930 basketball season at Clin- ton on January 24th by defeating the Clinton girls by the close score of 18- 17. The Maynard team piled up a commanding lead in the first half, Which enabled them to eke out a vic- tory in spite of a Clinton rally in the last half. Despite the fact that it was the first game of the year for May- nard, the game was fast and was cleanly played. Maynard 18 — Hudson 15 The Maynard girls opened their home season at the Waltham Street Hall on February 1st by taking the measure of the Hudson girls in a thrilling game. Again it was a big lead in the first half which won the game for Maynard; for the Hudson co-eds came back strong in the last half to tie the score in the fourth quarter. However, Maynard was not to be denied, and they scored the win- ning points shortly before the final whistle. Maynard 45 — Marlboro 19 In their next game the fair wearers of the Orange and Black ran wild in the Marlboro High School gymnas- ium, trouncing the Marlboro girls by the overwhelming score of 45-19. From the very beginning it could be seen that Maynard knew too much basketball for their opponents, and they romped away with the easiest victory of the year. The Maynard girls’ second team also took an easy win from the Marl- boro Seconds in a one-sided game. Maynard 40 — Marlboro 18 The Maynard girls defeated the Marlboro girls for the second time this year, when they trounced their opponents by the score of 40-18 in a listless game at the high school gym- nasium in a return game. This was only a repetition of the first game be- tween these rivals; for Maynard scored at will throughout, and it was only a matter of how high the girls could bring their number of points. Hudson 14 — Maynard 13 In a preliminary game to the boys’ game at Hudson on Washington’s Birthday, the Maynard girls suffered their first defeat of the year in a game that was replete with thrills. Imagine a game with forty-five fouls, twenty-four for one team and twenty- one for the other, and you will have a good picture of this contest. Of the points tallied by both sides, Hudson scored only two floor baskets and Maynard one, all the rest of the

“Believe It or Not” . . . “i 2 cup milk, 3 eggs, and 1 teaspoon of your favorite flavoring. Do not stir until all ingredients are in, and then beat well. Please stand by.” “Station B-E-S-T Maynard High School. This program is being broad- casted to you through the courtesy of the Senior Class. Now, little folks, listen well, while Uncle John tells his stories, and then — off to bed. “The Senior Class had been study- ing and working exceedingly hard, and so when their teachers proposed that they should take a sleigh ride, they were not at all reluctant to go. “It was a beautiful, warm, silvery night. On such a night, ‘Thisbe fear- fully o’er tripped the dew?’ On such a night as this, stood Dido with a willow in her hand. On such a night as this, a cruel nail relieved its pent- up nerves by ruthlessly snatching a 3-cornered piece of Gil Garland’s trousers. “The party left Maynard at seven- thirty. The Senior class is everlast- ingly in the debt of Joe Schnair, for he ran ahead of the horse and kept him going by holding some oats a yard from the poor dumby’s nose. “The destination of the riding school was “Dud’s”. There a luncheon was served to all. The official cream- pie tester was a member of the group. If ever you want any cream tested, please call Maynard 464. This gifted young man discovered some sour cream, and obtained another piece of pie for his client. “After the appetites of one and all had been appeased, the balky horse was allowed to have his own way and return home. When the party showed any semblance of becoming quiet, John Bellows livened it up with ‘Who cares for wife?’ “Many a mustard bath was taken that night, and many a mother feared that her ‘sonny-boy’ would have caught his ‘death of cold’ when he ar- rived home at ? P. M. (Post Mortem). “Please stand by, for one moment, and the High School Orchestra will play, ‘Turn On the Heat’.” The Christmas Social The Senior Class breezily awoke old M. H. S. with a bang-bang of a social on December 19. “Mary” Christmas was there, and coupled with “John Pep,” gave everyone a jolly good time. When Santa Claus said “Cheerio”, bah jove, all the mice be- gan to squeak (meaning, everyone laughed), but when Helen Bakun got her dolly, “not a creature was stir- ring — not even the mice.” Refreshments were served in the gymnasium, free — (free of all germs). The social closed at the dong of eleven o’clock, Eastern Standard Time.
