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.

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.

THE SCREECH OWL 17 Paul R. Wilson “There is no outward sign of courtesy that does not rest on a deep moral foundation.” Class Play Committee 1 ; Stage Manager, Class Play 2, 3; Sprig Jig Committee 4; Decorations, Junior Prom 3; Christmas Social 3, 4; Senior Reception 4 ; Commencement Exercises Commit- tee 4 ; Tennis Team 3, 4, Manager 4 , Speaker, Class Night 4 ; Student Council 2, 4, President 4 ; Screech Owl 3, 4, Editor 4 ; President of Senior Class. Miss Morgan “Her voice was ever soft, Gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman.” For Miss Morgan, who has labored with us and for us so painstakingly and so cheerfully, our only thought is one of deepest appreciation. Our sincere regards and best wishes are with her always. Reno Aho “Silence covers deep thought.” Inter-class Football 1, 2; Football 3, 4. Reno is one of the bashful members of the class who never make them- selves noticed but are none the less present. They fall the hardest. Herbert Bishop “Knowledge is power.” Sprig Jig Committee 4 ; A. A. Social Committee 4. Herbie is “X,” the unknown quan- tity. However, the unknown quan- tities often produce the most start- ling results. Richard Archer “Never yet had Heaven appeared so blue, nor earth so green.” Dick, one of the athletes of the school, does not use his running ability in getting to school in the morning. Olga Bobik “My tongue within my lips I rein, For who talks much must talk in vain.” Field Hockey 1. Olga is one of those girls that say very little but when she has some- thing to say it means a lot. We are sure that the future has happiness in store for you. Good luck! Reino Grondahl “He could on either side dispute, confute, change hands and st 11 confute.” Basketball 1, 2; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Football 3, 4 ; Track 4 ; Class Play 1; Class Treasurer 2; Student Council 4; Physical Education Exhibition 2; Glee Club ' 4; Speaker, Graduation Night 4. Walter Hanna “Bid me discourse, I will enchant thine ear.” Walter, our gifted orator, of thee we sing! When we think of the famous Jimmy Durante proboscis, what can we write? Happy blow- ings!
