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!
