THE SCREECH OWL 7 II filtration We t o the Seniors of Maynard High Bid au revoir but not good bye For though you leave this school of ours Memory lingers on like the scent of flowers The time we have passed here in menTry will stay Both the hours of study and those of play. As you step from the stage graduation night With diplomas and honors and medals bright, You may think that your days of freedom are done; That your time of worry and work has come, But don ' t lose hope! Please don ' t despair! You ' ll reach your goal if you ' ll but care. So good luck, Seniors of Maynard High! We hope that this will make you sigh In years to come when you have met Success and sometimes wish to let Your mind go back to younger days That memory holds as sunshine rays. —I. G. L. ' 36. OUR FUTURE Now that we have come to the end of our high school career, it is appropriate for us to look to the future. We have completed four years of high school work, we have mingled together in sports and at social events, and we have had many good times. Perhaps never again in our lives shall we enjoy ourselves as we have during these past four years. And now that we have arrived upon the threshold of a career, the thing that is uppermost in all our minds is, “Where do we go from here? Do we walk, hitch- hike, or ride?” A small minority of us may be fortunate enough, through one circumstance or another, to attend a higher institution of learning. To those we extend our sincere congratulations and fervent hope that they do well in their chosen professions. The rest will have to fight the battle of life with whatever smattering of knowledge they have gained in high school. This is a serious moment in our lives, and it calls for serious thinking. No one knows what the future holds. Perhaps it is just as well. Four years ago, we came to this high school, little thinking of what we should do with ourselves after graduation. Times have changed since then. It is not necessary that I enumerate those changes, for we are all more or less familar with them. But, don’t be discouraged Seniors, for everyday brings new opportunities and perhaps your chance will come next. EDWARD J. LEDGARD, ’35 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The Screech Owl Staff wish to thank all students of Maynard High School who have contributed to the success of the magazine this year. May next year’s staff receive the same support! Arne Aho Manager, Track (4); Speaker, Graduation Night (4). His smiling countenance, his dancing talent, his ability to manage a track team, together with his keen mind, are all factors that make “Banan” a very pleasing personality. Catherine Allard Screech Owl (4) ; Glee Club (4) ; Speaker, Graduation Night (4) Catherine is a proof that “good things come in small packages ' Although she is a sedate young lady, we Seniors find her to possess an abundance of good humor. Edward Allan “Sonny ,, is often seen practicing golf at his brother ' s estate en route to Vose ' s! Who knows but that some day he will be playing with Gene Sarazen, — if Gene lives long enough. Catherine Allen Junior Prom Committee (3); Reception Committee (4); Picture Committee (4); Student Council (4); Glee Club (4. “Kate is one of the most popular young ladies in the class. Although very quiet, she seems to be every- body ' s friend. Unto Anderson If you ever need an excuse to get out of reciting in class, ask “Buggsy. He has a new one almost every day, though they don ' t always work. 10 THE SCREECH OWL Walter Boeske We once heard that Walter intended to be a jockey, but he must have seen a steeplechase and changed his mind. Better stay on the ground, Walter. Mary Boothroyd Mary, or Ruthie, as her friends call her, is well liked by all. We thought her to be very bashful, but according to rumors coming from the direction of Lake Boon, we were very sadly mistaken. Pauline Butterworth “Polly” has always been noted for her quiet and demure ways, and as a result, we are all wondering who is responsible for that far-away look in her eyes. Josephine Castelline Basketball (4) ; Screech Owl (4); Glee Club (1) (2) (4). Speaker, Graduation Night (4). Josephine is a girl who is very much liked by her classmates. Everywhere she goes joy and happiness follow. Her personality and ability insure a success- ful future for this merry miss. Roland Chidley Baseball (2) (3) (4); Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4); Football (3) (4). “Smoky” is far from being a ladies’ man. He likes baseball, dancing, and a certain Junior (?). THE SCREECH OWL 11 Alfred Carey Alfred is a very serious-minded fellow, but we have a suspicion he breaks loose once in a while. From a “reliable source” we learn that A1 is quite a ladies’ man. Peter Chuteranski Reception Committee (4). “Pete” is known as a “scientific carpenter.” After working hours “Pete” takes time off to visit. Who is she, Pete? Raymond Crowley Football (1) (2) (3) (4); Operetta (1); Class Play (2); Stage Breaks (4); Glee Club (4). Ray’s a crooning football player with a yearning for a Sophomore and the “Isle of Capri.” Harold Cuttell Football (3) (4), Track (1) (2) (3) (4). Harold’s football fame once was submerged under that of O’Leary, but in “Hac’s” Senior year we finally became conscious of his worth. Robert Duggan Football (1) (2) (3) (4); Captain (4); Baseball (1) (2) (3) (4); Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4) ; Screech Owl (3) , (4); Student Council (1) (2) (3) (4); Prom Committee (3); Ring Committee (3); Picture Com- mittee (4) ; Reception Commi ttee (4) ; Class President (1) (2) (3) (4). “On the field he was ever a valiant man and true.” 12 THE SCREECH OWL Ruth Fayton Student Council (1); Inter-class Hockey (1) (2); There’s never a dull time when Ruth is around. She’s a lively lass with a “snappy comeback” for any quip that may come her way. Angelina Gandolfo Glee Club (4). “Angie” is planning to further her studies in French next year. Remember the Soiree? We wonder what she’ll do without her inseparable companion “Liddy.” Joseph Girdziewski Captain, Basketball (4); Football (3) (4); Orchestra (1) (2) (3); Glee Club (4). “Joe” could give Rubinoff competition in fiddling. He plays football, and he dances as well as he can play the violin. Robert Gogolin Orchestra (1) (2) (3) (4); Track (4); Glee Club (4). The musical member of the physics Brain Trust. Not only does he torment his fiddle but sees that no work is done by his neighbors as he croons in laboratory. Norman Hannon Orchestra (1) (2) (3) (4); Glee Club (4). “Normie” is a trumpet virtuoso and has aspirations to be an orchestra leader. In five years we shall be paying $2.50 to hear Hannon’s Hot Hoota-Tootas. THE SCREECH OWL 13 Dorothy Harris Dot’s beauty and quiet personality are an asset to her in her school life. We hear, however, that her “quiet personality” changes into one that is lively, and fun-loving when she is with “the gang.” Marion Hatch Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4); Hockey (1) (2) (3) (4). Marion’s chin is the only perpetual motion machine ever invented. Whenever this is slightly out of commission, her jolly chuckles fill in the gaps. Gertrude Heikkila Field Hockey (1) (2) (3) (4); Captain (4); Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4) ; Speaker, Graduation Night (4) . “Gert” has aspirations of becoming another Rosa Bonheur. She plans to further her studies at Massa- chusetts Normal Art next year. We shall not soon forget her skill with the hockey stick. Russell Heinonen Tall and blond, Russell could be a social butterfly, but he has important interests in the Sophomore Class. ’Tis said he has been a model for Hart, Schaffner, and Marx. Ruth Hunt Ruthie’s motto is “Life is just a bowl of cherries.” She is never without a smile and a giggle. Ruthie seems to be very much interested in Juniors, but tries to keep her interest a deep, dark se cret. 14 THE SCREECH OWL Edward Hoffman Screech Owl (1) (2) (3) (4); Class Play (1). “Eddie’ ’ can play a hot clarinet, and serves the best “Hotdogs” In town. We hope to see his band, “The Lunchcart Boys,” soon. Tauno Hytonen Track (3) (4); Glee Club (4). We’ve tried and tried, but can’t find out where Tauno got his nickname of “Hunk.” Can some kind soul enlighten us? He is very ambitious and should attain success. Frank Ignachuk Football (2) (3) (4). Frank is a jolly fellow with a fine disposition. We can congratulate him on his football ability. Frank likes big cars with plenty of room. Alphonse Januskiewicz Basketball (4). Alphonse looks innocent, but he must be a man with a dark and mysterious past. Else why did he change his name? Eileen Johnston Glee Club (1) (2); Manager, Hockey (4). It is said that no one can keep up with social activi- ties and school work at the same time. However, Eileen, you proved that statement incorrect. Please tell us how you managed combining late hours and efficiency.. THE SCREECH OWL 15 Russell Jordan Baseball (2) (3) (4); Tennis (1) (2) (3) (4); Class Play (1); Screech Owl (2) (3) (4); Reception Com- mittee (4); Speaker, Class Night (4). A Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? He ' s serious on the baseball held, but what happens in English and physics classes? Alexander Kavalchuk Junior Prom Committee (3); Basketball (4). “Curly is noted for his wit and humor. He works for Whiting’s during the summer, but we expect to see him peddling “Kavalchuk Grade A some day. Francis Keegan Francis is a young man who seems to have many attractive qualities — hence he is always followed and annoyed (?) by the fair sex. Rumor has it that he is a wonderful wrestler. We wonder. Isabella Kegresse Inter-class Basketball (4); Speaker, Class Night (4). Laughing brown eyes, lips that are always in motion and causing some commotion, a good scholar, and pleasing personality comprise “Issie.” Sorry, fel- lows, but she’s Rusty’s property! Lyyii Kemppinen “Lil” seems to favor only college boys with her witty presence. A certain columnist informs us that “her Norwood flame has flickered’’ and she now casts eyes at another in Fitchburg. 16 THE SCREECH OWL Anastacia Kisley Stacia is one of the most charming girls in the Senior Class. When she goes by, all the young men sigh, and wonder when they are going to get a break. Stacia smilingly passes without a glance in their direction. They ask, “What makes her so dreamy?” We could tell them. Victor Kurowski “Vic” is a quiet, conscientious student who always has his work done on time. Such efficiency should certainly be rewarded. Vincent Labowicz Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4); Captain (4); Interclass Football (1) (2); Varsity Football (3) (4); Base- ball (3) (4); Operetta (2); Orchestra (1) (2); Re- ception Committee (4). Vincent’s athletic achievements make him a credit to the school, but — he plays the saxophone. Constanzi Lalli Constanzi looks quiet, but he is a man of varied achievements. Have you ever seen him eat spaghetti with one hand and hold five aces in the other? Edward Ledgard Screech Owl, Business Manager (3) (4) ; Stage Breaks (4). “Dingle” is a happy-go-lucky, jolly fellow all the time except when the Screech Owl is concerned. Then he gets the ads better than Holmes ever got his man. THE SCREECH OWL 17 James Ledgard Student Council (2) (4); Manager, Baseball (4); Picture Committee (4); Speaker Class Night; Winner of Screech Owl Story Contest. Actions speak louder than words. We consider Jim ' s success already an established fact. Reino Lehto Reino’s skill in mathematics, chemistry, and physics is well known. Wonder what difficult problem he is trying to solve in Concord? Ruth Lehto “Ruthie” is one of the most friendly girls imaginable. Her everlasting jolly nature and contagious giggles are ever in evidence. The chemistry students will never forget the tables of “Little Red Ridinghood.” Roy Lent Screech Owl (2) (3) (4); Student Council (1) (3). An outstanding scholar, a true gentleman, and a loyal friend. Need we say more? Robert Lester Track (2) (3) (4). “Bob is a friendly fellow with a ready smile for everyone. His long legs can carry him places in a hurry, as his enviable track record proves. 18 THE SCREECH OWL Joseph Lickorai “Licky” is the quiet business man and a wizard at typing. We wonder who that “Important business” is in the East End. Elizabeth Mahoney Basketball (1) (2) (3); Field Hockey (1) (2) (3) (4); Ring Committee (3); Reception Committee (4); Prom Committee (3); Screech Owl (4); Glee Club (4); Student Council (1) (2) (3). “It is the tranquil people who accomplish much.” Gilbert Mann Screech Owl (3) (4). Things are bound to be lively whenever “Gil” is around. His ready wit qualifies him well for his job of Joke Editor of the Screech Owl. He ' s what his classmates call a “good sport.” Lots o ' Luck, Gil! Roberta Marsden Glee Club (4). In September Roberta was intrusted with the im- portant duty of “guarding” the Teacher’s Room first period. Shhhh? Do you think she’ll let us in on a few secrets? Oh — so she won’t talk Mary Maskiewicz Bashfulness is the trait for which Mary is dis- tinguished. We shall never forget her shy glances at the class while giving an oral talk. Keep up the same “fight” that you used in preparing yourself for the speed tests in typewriting throughout your entire life! THE SCREECH OWL 19 Elizabeth May “Liddy” is a girl who can meet any situation with a grin and a chuckle. Besides, she ' s a very active mem- ber of that very active firm of May and Gandolfo! With her happy disposition we know she can over- come the greatest obstacles! Robert McGarry Football (1) (2) (3) (4). Curly black hair, brown eyes, jolly disposition, like- able — thats “Wink.” Wonder whose “life” guard he would like to be? Elizabeth Meriluoto Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4); Field Hockey (1) (2) (3) (4). “Betty,” the tom-boy of the class, has always excelled in sports, both inside of school and out. When she ' s guarding that hockey goal, even shots from a machine gun couldn ' t get by her. Adolphina Milewski A friendly girl, bubbling over with good humor — that is Adolphina. Her classmates think a great deal of her, and she was certainly missed when she was ill. Best wishes for your success, Adolphina! Stanley Milewski “Stan” is a quiet and studious fellow, unless the girls are around. He is known as the “Gable” of the com- mercial department. 20 THE SCREECH OWL Joseph Minko Student Council (2) (3) (4); Prom Committee (3); Picture Committee (4); Speaker, Class Night (4). Joe is one of the best-liked boys of the class. His cheerful ways and pleasing personality made him so. The class will never forget the services that Joe, the Singing Romeo, has rendered it. Ronald Newman Ronald takes his time when in school, until dismissal bell rings. Rumor says that “Ronnie” isn’t “slow” after you know him. Arvi Norgoal “Sudsy” is often seen on the road to West Concord. He claims that trapping is good there, but how is it that he never carries a trap? Josephine Novicki “Jo” is the sophisticated lady of the class. She is always well dressed and always has her work done neatly. And can she dance! Elvi Nyholm Class Secretary (1); Class Vice-President (2) (3) (4); “Screech Owl” (3) (4) ; Student Council (1) (2) (3) ; Ring Committee (3) ; Prom Committee (3) ; Captain, Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4) ; Field Hockey (2) (3) (4); Picture Committee (4); Glee Club (4); Reception Committee (4). “Thou of an independent mind Who zealous art, yet modest.” THE SCREECH OWL 21 Edward O’Donnell Football (1) (2) (3) (4); Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4); Baseball (4); Junior Prom Committee (3); Picture Committee (4) ; Reception Committee (4) ; Class Treasurer (4). We all know “Eddie’s” contagious smile, which beams at everyone but his football opponents. Doris Peterson Field Hockey (1); Competition Play (1); Class Secre- tary (2). Doris is the favorite actress of the Senior Class. With her queenly air she steals the spotlight of every production in which she takes part. Best of luck, Doris. Perhaps some day the Seniors will see your name in electric lights. Peter Piecewicz Orchestra (1) (2) (3) (4); Inter-class Basketball (1); Baseball (4). When Fritz Kreisler heard Pete play he broke up his violin; when “Dizzy” Dean sees Pete pitch he’ll go back to farming. Stanley Piecewicz Track (1) (2) (3) (4); Captain (4); Student Council (4); Reception Committee (4). “Stan” is fast, both in track and in his “extra- curricular” activities. His speed is Clinton. Wonda why? Frank Primiano Football (3) (4); Track (2) (3) (4); Class Play (1). We hear that “Prim’s” desire is to be a bachelor — but how can you account for the dark-haired, dark- eyed damsel with whom he is frequently seen? There are plenty of girls who would not mind having “Prim” serenade them with his steel guitar. 22 THE SCREECH OWL John Punch Interclass Basketball (2) (3); Track (1) (3). As “Punchy” is a shy member of the class, we wonder what he will do without the aid of his personal secretary, Joe, whose job it is to fix up dates for him. Perhaps some day the girls will say, “Speak for your- self, Joe!” Alexander Popienuck Student Council (1); Glee Club (4). “Pop” is certainly popular, with a pleasing person- ality that brings the customers flocking to his store. Though his body may be found in Maynard High, his spirit is often at the Rockingham races. Stella Rubaszko Orchestra (1) (2) (3) (4); Glee Club (4); Violin solo, Graduation Night. Stella plays the violin as well as she draws. With skillful fingers controlled by a clever brain, she is sure to succeed. Elmer Salenius Orchestra (1) (2) (3) (4); Manager (4); Screech Owl (1) (2) (3) (4) ; Editor (4) ; Stage Breaks (4) ; Piano Solo, Class Night (4); Speaker, Graduation Night (4). “Thy word and skill exempts thee from the throng.” John Saluski Basketball (1); Football (3). What would the Commercial Room do without John? He plans to become a doctor, and we know he will carry his plans through. We thought this lad was serious, but it took Isabelle to convince us that he really enjoys humorous stories. THE SCREECH OWL 23 Elizabeth Schnair “Liddy” is one of the “Literary Lights” of the Class. We hope that the “Screech Owl” prize will be only the first of many honors she may win. Rose Settipani When better giggles are made, Rose will make them. Don’t think, though, that she can’t be serious. Just watch her when she can’t find her bookkeeping papers. Anthony Sidorovich Interclass Football (1) (2) (3); Varsity Football (4); Baseball (4). Tony, although noted for his good humor, shows he has perseverance also, for he made both the football and baseball teams in his Senior year. Mary Sienkiewicz Basketball (1) ; Screech Owl (4). One need just look at Mary hustling and bustling about to know that she is a girl who is brimful of initiative. Mary is always the first to get her work done. Her splendid record guarantees her success. Helen Sinewski Interclass Basketball (4); Screech Owl (4); Speaker, Graduation Night (4). Helen with her cheery smile has always been ambi- tious and well-liked in school. She seems to be very quiet, but we wonder. Come on, Helen! ’Fess up! 24 THE SCREECH OWL Broncia Slabycz With her quiet manner and pleasing personality Broncia became known and well liked in the Com- mercial Room. She’s just “cut out” to be some- body’s secretary — maybe to a certain well known firm on Thompson Street. Myrtle Smith Field Hockey (1). Myrtle has a pleasant disposition and cheery manner, but seems unable to warm toward a typewriter. We can’t explain why. Annie Spence Annie is a quiet, unassuming member of our class. Perhaps she asserts a more forceful personality in her capacity as treasurer of the G. F. S. Doris Sochier Doris has broken all records for speedy friend making. During the one year she’s been here she has endeared herself to all her classmates. Your affability, Doris, is synonymous with success! Stanley Staszewski Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4); Track (4). In the classroom Stanley is inclined to be quiet and retiring, but when the basketball season starts we awaken to his presence with a bang! THE SCREECH OWL 25 Charles Sulkala Baseball (1) (2); Track (4); Basketball (3) (4). “Smiggy” is a diminutive chap with just the cutest dimples. To look at Charles one wouldn’t think he is muscular, but he tosses the shot as though it were a marble. Margaret Thane Margaret is rather quiet, so few of us feel really acquainted with her. Nevertheless, we believe that her pleasant ways will make her successful. Jane Tobin Basketball (1); Timekeeper for Hockey (2) (3) (4). The poet has his poetry, The racer has his race, But when it comes to cuteness Toby Tobin sets the pace. What could the Hockey team have done without Toby to keep time? Robert Tobin That dignified expression and majestic stride make one think of Abraham Lincoln. He’s interested in fence rails, too, for we’ve often seen him leaning on the fence by the watering trough. Malcolm Trees Football (1) (2) (3) (4); Student Council (1) (2); Screech Owl (3) (4); Class Play (2). If the saying “lucky at cards, unlucky in love” is at all true, I’d hate to play poker with Malcolm. 26 THE SCREECH OWL Eva Trunca Eva’s favorite indoor sport is winking. Where did she get that cute little trick? Maybe she just can’t help her delight in practicing this art — especially when Francis is around. Eva is a lassie with friends galore. Eero Tuomanen Although Eero’s specialty is science, he must be interested in history too. Last year he used to come to school at seven-thirty to read the set of history books in Mr. Lerer’s room. Miriam Uljua Screech Owl (4). We will always remember “Mid” as a pretty girl with a pleasant smile and a winning manner. The maxim “Beautiful but dumb” is not always true — as is proved by “Mid’s excellent record. Vera Valinsky Vera’s winning smile lights up the whole Commercial Room. Those who know her say Vera has a fine voice. What could be better than a singing secretary? Helen Weckstrom Class Secretary (3) (4); Ring Committee (3); Prom Committee (3); Field Hockey (4); Interclass Basket- ball (1) (2) (3) (4); Student Council (2); Glee Club (4); Picture Committee (4). “A dainty girl from head to toes With dancing eyes and lots of beaux.” 27 THE SCREECH OWL Ruth Weir Ruthie is a very quiet girl — in school. Lately rumors have been floating to Maynard from Concord, where Ruth spends a great deal of her precious time. Perhaps she really goes to Concord to visit places of historical interest. She can’t be blamed, as we find Concord rather interesting ourselves. John Zaleska Manager, Football (4). Besides managing the football team, John manages to help Mr. White keep the floors clean. We wonder what secrets the wastebaskets may reveal. Miss Ruth Wilson Seniors! Attention! Hats off to Miss Wilson, a true class adviser! To her inspiring guidance and good counsel we attribute our success in all class activities during our four years in Maynard High. She has been a true friend, and we shall always remember her. Michael Makar “Miky” is noted for his ability to sleep. He also holds the title of “InterschoL astic tardiness champ.” Elizabeth Mahoney Gertrude Heikkila Eileen Johnston Catherine Allard Elvi Nyholm Elmer Salenius Joseph Minko Roy Lent Arne Aho Ruth Lehto ALL PHOTOGRAPHS used in this issue furnished by (1 ant ins St udioi, line. 160 BOYLSTON STREET BOSTON, MASS. 28 THE SCREECH OWL GRADUATION AND CLASS NIGHT SPEAKERS Third row: Elmer Salenius, Roy Lent, Russell Jordan, James Ledgard, and Joseph Minko.

JUNIOR PROM, CLASS OF 1936 ON THE SPOT : SENIOR DANCE The Senior Class, noted for its praiseworthy generosity and good na- ture, conducted a private dance, the first of its kind this year, at the George Washington Auditorium on January 25. Music was furnished by Ralph Weck- strom’s Orchestra. The patrons and patronesses were Mr. and Mrs. King and Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer. Refreshments were served in the gym and novelties were later distributed. The orderly manner in which the dance was conducted and the marvelous time had by all just proves once again the great ability of the Senior Class, led by their advisor, Miss Wilson, in the matter of social activities. SCREECH OWL DANCE The Screech Owl, Maynard High School’s illustrious magazine, made its contribution to the social life of the school with a private dance on February 15. The dance was handled by a capable committee under the direction of the Screech Owl adviser, Miss Field. The patrons and patronesses were Mr. and Mrs. King and Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer. Refreshments were served during intermission and novelties were distributed. The dance was well at- tended there being about eighty-five couples, including members of the faculty and their guests. Although the dance was put on by the Screech Owl, the screeching was confined to the blowing of noise makers during the novelty dance, and again the students showed their approval of the couple plan, introduced at the Senior Dance. Rythmic music was furnished by Ralph Weckstrom’s Orchestra. SOIREE A soiree was given by the Senior French class under the direction of Miss Wilson, Maynard High’s French teach- er. In the program for the evening there were two plays. If the French hadn’t afterwards been translated into English by the casts I’m afraid the Freshmen, Sophomores and possibly a few Junior French students wouldn’t know now what the plot was all about. After the plays, games were enjoyed and refreshments were served in the gym. The soiree was attended by the majority of the French students and by many teachers. FRESHMEN— SOPHOMORE PLAYS The Freshmen - Sophomore Classes presented two plays on April 25, at the 32 THE SCREECH OWL auditorium. They were excellently attended by the student body and their friends. In displaying the talent of the Freshmen class, a play called “What an Act” was given by Joan Turner, Helen Isner, Karin Saarinen, Billy Murphy, Danny Sullivan, and Albert Bachrach, under the direction of Miss Cassone, Freshman adviser. The play certainly showed that we may expect much from the class of ’38. But the Sophomores were not to be outdone by the Freshmen. The former presented “The Ghost Hunters.” The characters were: Charlotte King, Helen Schnair, Gerald Spratt and James Sullivan. As the name indicates, the play was filled with ghostly thrills and suspense. Miss Bradley, Sophomore adviser, directed the production. The short time between the two acts was given over to numbers by the Glee Club and two piano duets one by Aili Kajander and Annie Rolynowicz, the other by Evelyn Sauritz and Laura Salminen. JUNIOR PROM The annual Junior Prom was held at the George Washington Auditorium on May 10, and was very well attended by the students of the school and their friends. The success of the Prom was, in a large part, due to the efforts of an able committee under the direction of the Junior Class Advisor, Mr. Mullin. Viewing the promenade, one could hardly realize that these girls and boys who participated in the grand march were the very same that, previously, went chatting and strolling through our corridors. Refreshments were served during intermission and favors consisting of compacts for the girls and tie pins for the boys were distributed. The patronesses were Mrs. King, Miss Butterworth and Mrs. Bachrach. The Promenade was led by the Junior class officers who are as follows: President — Louis Bachrach. Vice-President — Irene Dudzinski. Secretary — Sylvia Manninen. Treasurer — William Brindly.

Playing together four years, the present Senior class basketball team won the championship three times. Of twelve games played, they lost only three, and those the Freshman year, when the boys were new to the game No player attempted to gain individual honors and the team play was outstanding.
