THE SCREECH OWL 15 Millard Swett “I like work, it fascinates me, I can sit and look at it for hours.” Class Play Committee 3; Junior Pr om Committee 3; Sprig Jig Committee 4. Millard, the incorrigible of the class — what a problem for the teachers ! How’s the new car ? Ellen Taival “Of all felicities the most charming is that of a firm and gentle friendship.” Screech Owl 4. Ellen’s quotation fits her perfectly; it describes her to a nicety. We can say no more without its being superfluous. John Thompson “He with his thunder: and till then who knew the force of those dire arms.” Physical Education Exhibition 3; Sprig Jig Committee 4; Operetta 3; Junior Prom Committee 3 ; School Play 4 ; Track 2, 3, 4 ; Football 1, 2, 3, 4. Mary Tierney “Gentle in manner, firm in reality.” Field Hockey 2. Mary is a quiet, shy girl from the Com- mercial Department. Her unassuming ways have won her many friends and though she seldom “steps out” (to our knowledge) we know there is a soft spot in her heart for a certain somebody. Mary Tobin “Good things come in little packages.” Student Council 4 ; Class Prophecy 4. Some people think “Bimp” is quiet and shy, but after work on Fridays and Sat- urdays — !!! perhaps “Joe” knows some- thing about it. Mary is the typical Irish Colleen of Maynard High.

14 THE SCREECH OWL Helen Sienkiewicz “I’ll put a girdle ’round about the earth in forty minutes.” Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. Whenever one sees a tall, well dressed, smart looking girl, you can be sure it’s Helen. She has been one of our best girl basketball players and has been out- standing in more ways than one. Dorothy Sluyski “We meet thee like a pleasant thought.” “Dot” is a vivacious girl from the Com- mercial Room who always has a pleasant word for everybody. Her activities out of school have been quite “in the shade” until the present time — we’d like to get a few pointers on “How Young Ladies Should Act in Cars,” as seen by “Puzzy, Jr.” Edward Smith “Our lives are measured by the deeds we do.” Inter-class Baseball 1, 2, 3; Inter-class Football 1, 2, 3; Inter-class Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4 ; Assistant Manager Baseball 4; Manager, Football 4. Willis Stockbridge “The essence of humor is sensibility.” Class Play 1, 2, 3; Assistant Hockey Manager 3; Student Council 1; Junior Prom Committee 3 ; Baseball Manager 4; Orchestra 2, 3, 4; French Play 4; Screech Owl 2, 3 ; Commencement Exercises Committee 4 ; Solo, Gradua- tion Night 4. Elin Swanson “Sweets to the sweet.” Operetta 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Social Committee 3; School Play 4; Student Council 4 ; Vice-President of Senior Class; Commencement Exer- cises Committee 4. Elin, so demure, what’s the secret of your success?

16 THE SCREECH OWL Stella Wallet “Silence is sweeter than speech.” Inter-class Basketball. A shy smile, deep eyes, and you recog- nize Stella. In school, at least, she is quiet and actually appears to be bashful. However, she has been seen with J. K. several times and not in the least bash- ful. Live and learn — eh, Stella? Howard Weaving “Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.” Junior Prom Committee 3 ; Usher 3. Howie is one of the social lights of the class; find Howie and you’ve found a dance, find a dance and you’ve found Howie. And, of course, Anna. Ruth Weir “Such a whirlpool in her head of fun and mischief.” Junior Prom Committee 3; Inter-class Basketball 2 ; Screech Owl Staff 1, 2, 3, 4 ; Speaker, Graduation Night 4. Ruth is a girl that can be in any activity going on, stay up all night (if necessary) and yet come to school in the best of spirits with all her studies prepared. Stanley Wojtkiewicz “Your name is great in mouths of wisest censure.” Class Treasurer 1; Junior Prom Com- mittee 3; Inter-class Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4 ; Interclass Football 1, 2, 3 ; Christ- mas Social Committee 3, 4 ; Baseball 4 ; Class Play 1, 2, 3 ; Screech Owl 2, 3, 4 ; Class Gifts 4. Vivian Wolfe “Out upon it! I have loved Three whole days together And am like to love three more If it prove fair weather.” Field Hockey 2 ; Junior Team 3. Very little more needs to be said except that “Viv” seems to be quiet and that the big reason for this is a former foot- ball captain.
