CLASS OIF 1936 Johanna Aho “ Faithful , gentle, good, Wearing the rose of womanhood .” Play Competition (1); Field Hockey (1) (2) (3) (4); Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4); Class Ring Committee (3). Captain Jo Will never miss a show. When it comes to a hockey game Captain Jo is never tame. Adele Allbee “Her smile was so friendly.” Although Adele has been with us for only a short time, she has made a great many friends because of her fine per- sonality. We wish she had come to Maynard sooner. Gladys Anderson “Frame your mind to mirth and merriment, Which bars a thousand harms and lengthens life” Gladys always has a smile on her face. Don’t lose your sense of humor, “Gladie.” ! Mary Asciukiewicz “Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you” Mary doesn’t make much noise in school, but we have a deep inclination to believe that she really can “let herself go” when the occasion arises. Upon graduation we sincerely hope Mary will not take up residence in either Waltham or Acton! (Ask her why). Walter Askirka “Self -reverence, self-knowledge, self-control, These three alone lead life to soverign power.” “Wally” is certainly an example of a gentleman. He always has a kind word for and about every one. Walter’s smile is very contagious, and you can’t help smiling back.

THE SCREECH OWL 19 sonalities, as well as being a very good publicity stunt to establish an interest in my picture. Until I have chosen the witches, I shall work around them, a proceedure which can be carried out with very little difficulty. The scene in which Macbeth sees a knife in the air had me puzzled for a while. I finally came to the conclusion that the only way to do it is to have the dagger suspended by thread, and play on it a weird green or red light , which ought to be effective against the inky blackness of the background. By making a double exposure, I shall be able to show Banquo’s ghost walking into the dining hall. The double- exposure trick will make him look transparent. Although this scene has been done on the stage with no ghost at all, I think it will be more realistic if it is played in the way outlined above. The apparitions seen by Macbeth in the witches’ cave can be produced easily. As they appear against a black background, I shall have a green or red light played on their heads, with the rest of the body concealed. So far as the actors are concerned, one never knows until production is started whether they are entirely suit- able or not. It may be that they lack certain traits necessary to a correct portrayal of their respective parts, and if it becomes necessary to change them, I shall do so without hesitation. As for the financial side of the undertaking, I am being backed by seven influential and very well-to-do gentlemen who would rather not have their names made public but who fully realize the wonderful opportunity for increasing their fortunes, an op- portunity which is present in such an investment as this colossal production as “Macbeth” is bound to be. — William Brindley, ’36.

THE SCREECH OWL 21 Louis Bachrach “He gave the people of his best ” Class President (3) (4); “Screech Owl” (2) (3) (4); Editor (4); Student Council (3) (4); “The Arrival of Kitty” (4); “The Hoodoo” (4); French Play (4); Reception Committee (4); Ring Committee (3); Prom Committee (4); Football (2); Track (1). Backy’s has been a strenuous high school career. His activities have taken so much space we can’t say much, but then, “Actions speak louder than words”. Flora Barilone “Her eyes are homes of silent prayer” Flora is a very studious girl and a fine person to know. I hear she has some interests in Orange. Why not let us in on it? Paul Batulin “To light with a lamp the way ” After working seven years for the People’s Theater, we think Paul should get a diploma and graduate to Holly- wood. Big, strong, and even husky enough to hold a flashlight for you, he’s glad when you patronize the object of his affections. Edward Bobik “Smooth run the waters where the brook is deep ” We think that we have almost analyzed Eddie and then we hear something to upset our conclusions. These silent men keep us guessing. Why not tell us more, Eddie? Sophie Bobka “So buxom, blithe, and full of face, As Heaven had lent all His grace” Junior Prom Committee (3); Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4); Social Committee (3) (4). Sophie is one of the best dressed girls of the class and very popular too, with a grand personality. Some em- ployer is going to be lucky!
