ACTIVITIES JUNIOR PROM The Junior Prom is one of the school activities to which everyone looks forward. As usual they were not disappointed in the outcome of the one held June 2, 1933, in the audi- torium. The hall was decorated most attractively in rainbow shades of paper and gold stars. At the windows hung dainty colored curtains; on the window-sills sat jars of paper sweet peas. The girls looked charming in their dainty organdy frocks. The boys were most gallant with their bouton- niers of sweet peas ; and Miss Cassone, the class advisor, appeared very stun- ning in a rust colored dress. The ma- trons were Mrs. James King, Miss Ethel Butterworth, Miss Anne Pasa- karnis, Mrs. James Malcolm, and Mrs. Edward McPherson. Music was fur- nished by Sheridan’s orchestra. In the grand march favors of telephone and address books were given to the guests. Punch and cookies were served in the gymnasium. Congratulations to Miss Cassone and the Junior Class! BREEZIN’ ALONG Maynard High School has just presented a musical comedy entitled “Breezin’ Along.” It was given in the Parker Street Hall, May 17 and 18. The play was the combined efforts of townspeople and students. The character parts were played by Jack Johnson, Loraine Koch, Robert Les- ter, Julia White, Roderick Mclver, Elin Swanson, Kalervo Kansonniva, Anna Swanson, Constance Ferris, John Murphy, John Pozericki, Ed- ward Hannon, Irene Lemoine, Julius Melewski, and John Fay ton. The chorus numbers were cleverly done by Mary Bobritsky, Elvi and Sylvia Nyholm, Sylvia Manninen, Helen Pyszka, Mary Kizik, Stella Lubin, Mary Gudzinowicz, Sara Wasiuk, Lucy Bingel, Rita Sheridan, Ruth Weir, Alice Macey, Mary Soko- lowski, Veronica Arciszewski, Olga Mark, Eileen Johnston, Eileen Reid, Olga Kozak, Veronica Piecewicz, Lil- lian Sullivan, William Johnson, John Malcolm, Edward O’Donnell, Stanley Piecewicz, John Thompson, Joseph Arcisz, John O’Leary, Vincent Labo- wicz, and Richard Murphy.
