THE SCREECH OWL 31 football victory over them last season, as no mercy was shown in their shut- out victory. Battery: Frigard and Uglevitch. Maynard’s second Middlesex league game, scheduled with Belmont High, was washed out and will be played later on. Maynard at Concord Unleashing a savage attack, May- nard soundly trounced their old rivals from Concord by the score of 9-2. This victory puts Maynard in a second place tie. Piecewicz featured the hard hitting with a homer. Batteries : Frigard, Kendra, and Brayden. Hudson at Maynard Hudson came to Maynard full of pep and vigor and returned otherwise with a 10-8 loss staring them in the face. This is Maynard’s second Mid- land League win in three starts and leaves them in second place in this league. Frigard didn’t lose heart when runs were chalked against him, he kept on pitching great ball and also featured with the willow, getting a triple and two base hits. Batteries : Frigard and Kendra, Uglevitch and Brayden. At the time this issue goes to press, Maynard High is in first position in both Midland and Middlesex Leagues. GIRLS’ ATHLETICS BASKETBALL The Maynard High School girls had another successful season in basketball, playing but one losing game and winning nine. The Leom- inster girls defeated Maynard by three baskets and refused a return game. For some reason or other the orange and black victories always come in the last quarter of the game. All our victories, those with high scores especially, were won with a sort of last minute spurt. It was, perhaps, the good condition of the girls becoming evident. The teams defeated by Maynard High were : Northboro, Westford Academy, Hud- son, Littleton and Belmont. Next year’s Captain is Helen Sien- kiewicz, a basketball enthusiast for the last three years. INTER-CLASS SPORTS The Sophomore girls won the hockey numerals, and the Freshmen girls won the inter-class basketball from the Sophomores. This was solely a lower class competition since neither the Senior nor Junior classes had a girls’ team.

FOOTBALL Maynard has justly been awarded her first — but by no means her last, football banner. This banner, to in- dicate a championship team, was presented to the school, thru Captain Kevin Spratt, by the Secretary of the Midland League, Alfred Riani. Being unsatisfied with one cham- pionship, Maynard went right ahead and landed ' in a tie for top honors in the Middlesex League with the strong Belmont H.gh team. This justifies the old saying, “You can’t keep a good team down.” BASKETBALL The boys of the Junior Class proved themselves masters in the interclass battles, sweeping the series with three straight wins. The team, a well balanced combination, was composed 01 Capt. Grcndahl, Ahti Frigard, John Pozerycki, Joseph Arcisz, Francis Gil- leney, Edward Smith, ' Uno Norgoal and Tony Kavaleski. HOCKEY Maynard not only proved herself champs in football, but was also un- beaten at hockey in ten starts. Coach Charlie Manty undertook the task of forming the first sextette ever to represent the Orange and Black in this sport. The talent for the ice team consists of boys who deserve much credit, and their names we will not try to keep secret. They are : Reino Aho, Leonard Ollila, Alec Shinewski, John Tobin, O smo Sulkala, Frank Brayden, Stan- ley Uglevitch, Paul Kendra, George Carbary, and Mgr. Manuel Glickman. If next years’ team does as well as these boys did, no one can comment unfavorably. BASEBALL An exceptionally large squad turned out for baseball practice and of these, the following were picked to represent Maynard High on the diamond for the 1932 season: Frigard, Kendra, Brayden, Cas- tanza, Grondahl, Uglevitch, Duggan, Pozerycki, Piecewicz, D. Murphy, J. Murphy, J. Tobin, Chidley, Lehto, Marsden, and Sulkala. Clinton at Maynard Maynard opened her ’32 season with a bang by scoring a 7-6 victory over the strong Clinton nine at Crowe Park. With an altogether new lineup in the field, our team sent the boys back to their home town convinced that Maynard is their master. The batteries for Maynard : Kendra, Lehto, and Uglevitch. Winchester at Maynard In her first tilt of the Middlesex league, Maynard fell victim to the Winchester warriors at Crowe Park by the score of 5-0. Superb pitching, along with some timely hits, enabled the latter to win the contest. Win- chester must have been seeking re- venge for Maynard, for her second

All farewells should be short and sweet — especially, short — so for De- pression’s sake, Fm not going to be one bit different this time. I had started to write to you yes- terday because I had neglected you for so long, when I suddenly remem- bered that I had a date with “The Massachusetts Collegian” at Amherst for an interview, which is going to appear in the “Enterprise” today, if you are interested. On the train I met a pal of mine, an “Academy Student,” and he and I proceeded to admire the scenery, particularly the “Signboards.” My pal had a “Johnson Journal” and we became greatly in- terested in the “News of Boston University.” We had some difficulty in finding the daily article on the “Oxon Life” and were greatly amazed to hear a “Voice” behind us say: “Look it up in the ‘Index’ — ” We turned around and were much more amazed when we saw the oddest “Brown and Gold” “Parrot” you could wish for, laughing at us from his cage. Our attention was then caught from outside the window by a man who was urging on his somewhat balky mule with a “Long Pointer” on the tip of which was a “Needle.” Our amusement, however, was interrupted at this point by the sound of a “Heigh Chime,” which told us we were at our station. A “Sentinel” held his “Spot- light” for us while we descended, as it was rather dark in the station. My friend left me at “Abhis” Hall, where I proceeded to my interview. The “Massachusetts Collegian” was very interesting, I assure you, though you might not think so from my article. However, business is business and you can’t always put in the interesting things. It is with a great deal of regret that I take leave of you but I live in the hopes that our friendship will be carried on by those connected with the Exchange Department next year. As ever. Your Exchange pal, Virginia W. Collins.
