Mullin SUMMERTIME ACTIVITIES With the closing’ of school, and the warm summer days drawing near, more than one thought comes to my mind regarding the ways in which I will spend my spare time. I realize that, in these days of modern con- veniences and short working hours, everyone is confronted with more or less the same problem, so I have ar- ranged a list of practical ways that will help to pass that extra time. Make 1. A small garden in a sandbox with sods, plants, running water, fish, etc. 2. A photograph album. 3. Embroidered articles. Collect 1. Different kinds of stamps. 2. Old coins. Write 1. Short poems, and bind into a book. 2. A nature diary, and illustrate. Read 1. A daily paper. 2. Any good magazine. 3. Library books. Photograph 1. Scenes you enjoy 2. Your friends. Help at home 1. With the housework. 2. Learn to cook. Be a Good Neighbor 1. Clean and mow your lawn. 2. Plant flowers to make your yard attractive. Improve Your Health 1. Enjoy out-of-door sports. 2. Join Boy or Girl Scout classes. With the aid of these suggestions, couldn’t we plan to make this a sum- mer which is spent in a practical as well as an enjoyable way? How about a little co-operation, classmates? — Karin Saarinen, ’38. HAVE YOU EFFICIENCY? As we sit down and try to think of a subject to write for this last issue of the “Screech Owl” for 1938, we pause for a few minutes to look into the future. Our aim in life is to secure a position that will help us on our way to Happiness. With this thought in mind, I write about something that will help us achieve this goal. Per- sonality and personal appearance help us to obtain a job, but today competi- tion is keen, hence the importance of Efficiency. Efficiency is demanded chiefly by people in business. We know, how- ever, that it shall be important in your life because this machine age is lead- ing up to it, and it is bound to affect all of us. What is Efficiency you may ask? Efficiency is the shortest, easiest, and best method of doing work. It makes THE SCREECH OWL 7 no difference whether the work is mental or physical, because Efficiency can be used in both. Investigations and experiments have proved that Efficiency pays, as under such a sys- tem, more work is accomplished in less time, and there is less wear on the human body. A few years ago a person was sit- ting in our commercial room for a study period. His attention was at- tracted to the teacher who was start- ing a lecture. He could not study any longer. The most interesting thing to him that school year was to listen to this teacher talk. He was too young to be inspired by what was said, but he has always kept the talks in mind as opinions on Efficiency. On this par- ticular morning, the instructor was especially interesting. He talked to the students about schedules. “Plan your work,” he said, “it only takes a few minutes.” The student did not pay attention to this bit of advice, but now he realizes the significance of it. If you make up your mind to do something, do it. For you will find that if you postpone something, you never do it later. With a schedule there is no need of putting- off. If you keep within your schedule, you will find that all your work will be accomplished and that you still have time to yourself. But you who did not hear this talk, what about your Efficiency ? What do you know about improving your work with speed, accuracy, and enough stamina to do your work again ? Effi- ciency is not dull, on the contrary, it is interesting. Incidents happen every day that could be avoided. For ex- ample, suppose there is an automo- bile accident. The cars meet at an intersection both going at an unusual rate of speed. The cars are damaged. Luckily, the drivers were not hurt, but if they were Efficient the crash would not have happened. If car owner A saw that his vehicle was in good condition, that his brakes were not faulty, the crash might have been avoided. If owner of car B had al- lowed himself sufficient time to get to work he would not have to hurry, en- dangering the lives of others. These inefficient persons are a menace to their community. True enough, all good things have their bad points. It is argued that Efficiency tires a person. When one acquires the art of Efficiency one gets into a certain rhythm. It is when this rhythm is broken that fatigue steps in. This can be remedied by having scheduled rest periods. The human body is a motor to whatever work it does. When a gasoline motor does not run smoothly, it is said to need tuning- up. If this is not attended to imme- diately, any number of troubles may result. A human motor may be tuned up, but if a part wears out, it can never be replaced. I repeat. Efficiency, is the shortest, easiest, and best method of doing work. Remember, it pays ! — Albert Bachrach, ’38. THAT’S LIFE The tinkling of a bell broke the silence of the little sidestreet pawn- shop as it announced a customer. The short, stalky Irish proprietor emerged from a back room to find a beautiful young woman, robed in mourning black, holding a cherubic baby in her arms. “A young widow,” said the pro- prietor to himself. He had seen many like her but it wasn’t in his business to sympathize with his customers. Somehow, however, as she pathetic- ally fumbled in pulling her wedding ring from her trembling left hand, clutching the child in her right, as tears welled in her lovely eyes, some- thing caught the Irishman’s heart. She laid the ring caressingly on the counter and asked, “How much could you give me for it, please?” Her voice portrayed a soul deeply burdened with grief and sorrow. Examining the ring, he found it to be of practically no value. He was all business-like when he was about to say that the most he could offer was fifty cents, when the baby broke out in choking wails. The pent-up feeling of the woman sud- denly burst as she began to sob hysterically, clutching the child to her bosom and murmuring, “My little darling, daddy is gone forever. Where can I get food for you? What will be the outcome? Why has fate been so cruel to me?” The pawnbroker’s heart softened as his eyes filled with tears. He had steeled himself against many pathetic cases, but he had never seen one like this. How could he turn this young mother away in such a large de- pressed city ? Perhaps sending her to her doom. Turning towards the sub- dued woman, he sympathetically and earnestly asked, “When have you two eaten last?” “Last night I fed the baby, I haven’t eaten since yesterday noon.” The pawnbroker was at once chari- table. “Won’t you have something to eat?” “Oh, thank you so much, but if you could be so kind as to give me the money for the ring, please, I would be so grateful to you for it. I would like to pay my room rent and buy the baby proper food and clothing. Then, I may find some work.” “Why don’t you go home to your parents or relatives?” inquired the Irishman. Lowering her head, she answered sadly, “I haven’t any.” Deeply touched, the man thought, “What does the loss of fifty dollars mean when I may save two lives?” Returning from the cash register, he handed the woman the money and murmured, “Good luck to you.” The young mother gratefully smiled at him as she accepted the money and left saying, “May He help you.” The pawnbroker, smiling, re-entered his back room saying to himself, “That deed has opened the pearly gates for you, old man.” A few blocks away from the pawn- shop, the young woman, still carrying the child, climbed into a waiting car and said, “0. K. Charlie, that old fool fell for my stuff like a brick. Let’s try one more place and call it a day. I’m tired of carrying this hired brat.” — Helen Smith, ’37. THE SCREECH OWL 9 THE FRIGID PRINCIPAL (After looking- in on the Ancient Mariner) It is the frigid principal, And he grabbeth one of three, By thy friendless look and glittering eye, Now wherefore stopp’st thou me? Dismissal rang some time ago. And I would leave this hall. My friends do go, and I must too ; This aft’ eve play some ball. He holds him with his clenching hand. This subdued boy stood still. And listens like a brokened colt. The principal hath his will, (as usual) (3 hours later) The strickened youth sat at his desk. There was naught else to do, And thus did speak that learned man. And what he spake was true. ' ‘Bother, bother all the time. You make a lot of noise. Bother, bother all the time. You’re worse than other boys.” Thrice did you upset the class. And never your lessons do. I thought a while, and now I know Just what’s to be done with you. Farewell, farewell, but first to thee. You rebel, do I say, “He playeth ball who doeth all And acteth the right way!” — Sylvia Glickman THE LAST DAYS OF SENIORS As the first evident signs of spring appear in March, so also do the first faint rumors and vague plans for Graduation begin to be discussed. Throughout the four years in high school we Seniors have, more or less, subconsciously been striving for that apparently far-distant goal — gradua- tion. As the weather gradually grows warmer, and summer looms nearer and nearer, those indefinite prepara- tions for the commencement in June begin to materialize, and more definite plans are formulated. Of course, one of the first impor- tant events during the last year in high school, especially to Seniors, is the appearance of the photographs of our classmates. How eagerly we await their coming! Recklessly many of us promise pictures to everyone who asks for one, and consequently we later suffer pangs of remorse because our slender finances did not allow for such an extravagance. Some pupils 10 THE SCREECH OWL were very pleased at the proofs and others were keenly disappointed. One of the major catastrophes in the opinion of some is the assignment of a speech for Graduation. How we dread that ordeal of standing on the stage and orating before such a multi- tude of people ! Why, merely the thought of facing those people terri- fies one profoundly, let alone attempt- ing to speak before them. Those worried expressions on some faces can perhaps be attributed to the fact that they are speakers who are in dread of that moment when they will have to rise before the audience. These last weeks are indeed very busy to most of the Seniors. There are numerous final examinations to be studied for earnestly, in hopes that we shall be rewarded by at least a re- spectable final mark. Then there are frequent class meetings and chorus rehearsals to be attended. To many of us this graduation from high school will mark the end of our formal education. The finish of our high school studies does not prevent the acquisition of further knowledge, for everyone continues to learn new things daily throughout life. We who do not anticipate education in higher institutions of learning leave May- nard High with mingled feelings of regret and contentment. Despite the various rebellions against too-long as- signments and week-end homework, I believe it is safe to say that each one of us has fully enjoyed these four years. As the time draws nearer to the actual Graduation, discussions and debates on various phases of the final activities proportionately increase among the different groups of Seniors. Perhaps the three most eagerly anti- cipated events are the Outing, Class Night, and Reception. There is quite a bit of fear and apprehension among many members of the class in respect to their physical condition during that boat trip to Provincetown. Need I say that the most important moment in our lives and a source of pride to our parents is the presenta- tion of our high school diploma, the reward of our efforts in twelve years of school. — Anonymous, ’38. � CLASSICAL OR JAZZ? As one turns the dial on his radio in the evening, different types of music burst forth. Here, a blare of trumpets with the moaning of saxo- phones mingled with the rattling of drums practically deafens one; there, the smooth tempo of the waltz, or a stirring excerpt from an opera, fills the room. The former, a cacophony, that rises from the bottom of the scale to the top in a shrill tone, and then goes down again, is called “jazz.” The latter is a euphony that stays at one tone, slightly higher or lower, and has a melodious sound agreeable to the ear. This is the so-called classi- cal music. Not knowing what opinions others have of these radically different types of music, I will give you mine. Lis- tening to “jazz,” I sometimes wonder how people stand it (now I know why they go crazy) and above all how anyone could compose such trash. When I am doing my homework, it bursts forth and jars me so much that I become sullen and snap at every- body who ventures to speak to me. People say that they seek relaxation by listening to it ; it is a miracle to me that they can find peace amid such a racket. On the other hand classical music has the opposite effect on me. It soothes my nerves and makes me jolly toward everyone in my home. No discord is there to jar one as there is in “jazz.” Listening to such songs as “The Overture to William Tell,” or the lighter “Song of the Musketeers,” puts me in a pensive THE SCREECH OWL 11 mood. I am able to concentrate on one subject much better, but mostly, in listening to these, I think of various people who have ventured in little known parts of the world, of their knowledge of the people, and how the country appeals to me. It makes me feel as if I could learn everything that I would like to know. I’d rather listen to this kind of music, or else to the songs of the Indians or Africans, as they are beaten out on drums, instead of jazz music. I do not mean to say that all jazz music is bad, but at least three- fourths or more is, while three- fourths of classical music is good. Therefore, I’ll take one-quarter jazz and three-quarters classical for my musical program. — Anonymous. WAKE, WAKE, WAKE (with sincerest apologies to Tennyson) Wake, wake, wake From thy stone blank stare, 0 me! And oh would that my pen could scribble The answers that ought to be 1 0 well for the studious boy. Who can write away with great ease! And well for the teacher’s pet Who will never receive any D’s! But the fleeting time goes on And still — still my paper is blank. Oh, if I had only studied well And did not on my eyesight bank ! Wake, wake, wake. For it is over, yes it be — But the mem’ry of that exam I flunked Will ever come back to me. — Sylvia Glickman. ANDY WILSON DOES A GOOD TURN Jake Johnson and I had been pros- pecting to gether for five years and we were clebrating it on the night when all the trouble started. We were drinking Jake’s special brew which was, I think, about eighty-five per cent alcohol, when we started an argu- ment over who was to have the last of what was in the bottle. Jake’s gun went olf, neatly cutting a deep groove in my left arm. My only defense was the bottle, which I threw at him send- ing a shaip piece through his eye and piercing his brain. In a drunken stupor, Jake did not last long and he died about an half hour later. I was just starting to bury him when Sheriff Cowell of Mustang Coun- ty arrived on the scene and quickly snapped handcuffs on me. I was taken to the county prison where I was thrown in a cell to await my trial. Now there is a newcomer in the story in the person of Andy Wilson who, as it was expressed by Tommy Hutchins, was a bit “tetched.” Never- theless, he was well liked around town and was noted for never telling a lie. The day after my arrest, I happened to see him through my cell window and I called him over. I whispered something to him and he nodded his head in agreement. The next day at the trial, I pleaded that it was in self- defense that I killed Jake but the prosecuting attorney asked for a witness. “Call Andy Wilson,” I said and Andy marched up to take the sand. He testified that what I said was true and because of his renown and the bullet wound in my arm as evidence, I was set free. But no one ever knew why I sud- denly was six hundred dollars poorer and Andy Wilson h ad that same amount in the First National Bank. — Donald Lent. 12 THE SCREECH OWL STUDENT’S PRAYER I pray that I shall never know An alert Prof, like Mister 0. ; A man whose heedful ears are bent Toward the whispered answers sent, A man who at all pupils spies From the corners of his eyes, A man who makes all do their work And will not let a body shirk. Upon whose desk there lies a rod Whose purpose is not just to fraud. This prayer I know’s an old refrain And is, of course, quite, quite in vain. — Sylvia Glickman. INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT INTERESTING PEOPLE Today, contrary to the belief of many people, the Indians no longer ride on galloping steeds in full war regalia emitting lusty war cries from their bronze throats. Instead they live on Indian Reservations, earn their living, and have equal rights with the white-man. Called the “children of nature,” the Indians accepted peacefully the first white settlers. Not until the white- men began breaking treaties and rob- bing the Indians did they plan their savage revenge. Some tribes were warlike ; some trustworthy and peaceful ; others existed by farming and hunting. Indians are renowned for decorat- ing pottery, weaving baskets, and making jewelry. Today Indian chil- dren may be seen on the dusty roads of the West selling handmade charms to bring good luck to the ever-curious tourists. This is done to teach the children to speak better English — besides being a manner in which to earn some mone . In many of the States today are Indian Trading Posts where handmade blankets, jackets, jewelry, and curios may be purchased. In the olden days the Indians had such ceremonies as worshipping the Sun, Rain, and Lightning. They dressed themselves in gaudily deco- rated clothing and would hold festi- vals for gods for as many as three or four days. It is no wonder the Indians were called the most picturesque of the primitive races. Today, although they have become accustomed to the white-man’s way of doing things and his laws, they still hold three or four festivals a year. It is known for a fact that the white-men used their imaginations to such an extent that they created the well-known “Great Spirit” and “Hap- py Hunting Grounds” of the Indians. It is also known that the war cry of the Indians did not originate until the English and the French settled in America. In 1786 the government began to set aside land for the Indians so that they could live together — this land is called Reservations. The government established a Department of Educa- tion for the Indians. Many of them have gone to college and have become doctors and teachers to aid their fel- lowmen in attaining the best of the white-man’s qualities. For one hundred years the popula- tion of the Indians has been rapidly decreasing because they caught all the white-man’s diseases, but lately it has been increasing as they have been adapting themselves to a civilized life. — Dorothy Hansen. THE SCREECH OWL 13 FAREWELL MAYNARD HIGH The days have been long and happy That we spent in Maynard High Though graduation is here at last We are sad in saying “GoodBye.” But before we go let us pause awhile And think of the days gone by, Of the books we read, and the poems we said In dear old Maynard High. Here with our many classmates The time too quickly has sped And here our happy school days Like passing dreams have fled. Our teachers have all been patient And willing to help us to learn To them we give our heartfelt thanks That they all so deservingly earn. We must not forget our principal And you all must surely agree He was always willing to help us Whatever our troubles might be. We leave you now dear Maynard High Thy memory in our hearts will dwell We leave you Alma Mater fair.

To those who know her, Irene is a vivacious young lady, and also sympatehtic and kindhearted. She is especially fond of cats and dogs. However, her greatest interest seems to lie in one K. J. — and his new car. Irene Carlton — “Good nature is one of the richest fruits of personality.” “Screech OwP ' (4), Senior Dance Committee (4).

THE SCREECH OWL 19 Walter Donahue — “With the beat, beat, beat of the drums.” Orchestra (2) (3) (4), Track (1) (2), Reception Committee (4).

Everyone knows that “Kenny” has a weakness for Model T’s and Scotch plaids. But what about that Gretchen in Sweden, Kenny ? Donald Jones — “I love to dance !” Donald is a book-worm, but we won’t tell you because he doesn’t want anyone to know. He’s tall, dark, and not bad to look at. He has been observed at many a dance, especially out of town. Do they have better orchestras there, Donald, or is there another reason ? Taisto Kallio Basketball (1) (2), Banquet Committee (4). Taisto is the big, silent man who was the “Surprise of the Life- time” at the Junior Prom. Remember, girls?

The SPOT Screech Owl Private Dance On February 21st the Screech Owl Staff of Maynard High conducted one of the biggest and most enjoyable dances ever held in the Auditorium. The hall was skillfully decorated in red, white and blue and was supposed to represent the Steamer S. S. Wash- ington. Invitations were in the form of passports, and all guests entered by means of a gang plank. The dance order represented the stops that the ship made on the world cruise. Since it was the night before the holiday, the program began with the singing of the Star Spangled Banner. During the singing of the anthem all attention was focused on a flag which waved gloriously from the balcony. With the aid of colored lights it was indeed a grand and impressive spec- tacle. Music was furnished by Art Can- tara and his well-known orchestra from Lowell. Even the refreshments — and there were plenty — were carefully and ap- propriately selected for a Washing- ton’s party. Miss Vena B. Field was guest of honor and was presented with a cross as a token of gratitude for her splen- did work as former Screech Owl adviser. Mr. Leo F. Mullin who succeeded Miss Field as our adviser was in charge of the dance, and to him we owe a measure of thanks. It was through his keen interests and un- ceasing efforts that this dance was a success. SENIOR NOTES The Seniors will hold their Class Banquet on June 9th. A committee of twenty have been appointed to work on this, and they promise there will be many novel features — as well as a good dinner. There will be danc- ing in the auditorium from 8 to 10 P. M. Bernie Cotter has been engaged to furnish the music. Busses will leave the high school on Thursday morning, June 16th, to bring the Seniors to Boston, where they will board the S. S. Steel Pier for Provincetown. A committee of twenty is tedious- ly at work forming plans for a gala Senior Reception. The orchestra has not yet been engaged, but the com- mittee is contacting several at pres- ent. The decorations will be entirely different from anything ever used be- fore, and favors will be quite novel. SENIOR PRIVATE DANCE The Private Da nce of the Senior Class was held in the Washington Auditorium on Friday evening, April 29th. It was conducted with the usual splendor and elegance of the sophisti- THE SCREECH OWL 37 cated Seniors, and proved to be one of the most enjoyable parties in the his- tory of the Class. The hall was effectively bedecked with gay, “springy” colors — furnish- ing an appropriate atmosphere for some of the “springy” dancers. The rippling, swinging rhythm was furnished by Bernie Cotter and his orchestra. Home-made cakes, many of which came from the local bake shops, and tonic were served during the inter- mission. The committee under the super- vision of Miss Ann P. Pasakarnis, was as follows : Dominic Colombo, Bernard Pekkala, Myrtle Hodgess, Guy Perillo, Irene Carey, James Buscemi, Sophie Denisewich, Laura Milewski, Broncia Kurowski, Walter Allan, Anna Lyons, Ernest Priest, Bernadine Carey, John Arcisz, Mamie Heikkinen, John Po- pieniuch, Robert Greenaway, Doris LeSage, Annie Rolynowiez, and Mary Rubaszko. JUNIOR PROM The Class of ’39 held their Prom- enade on Friday evening May 13th (and from all appearances that date didn’t mean bad luck to many a fair lass and laddie either!) Approximately seventy-six Juniors following the leadership of the Class officers, Daniel O’Leary, Helen Dzer- kas, John Kulik, and Irene Morrill, smoothly formed the numerals. The auditorium was decorated in yellow and green. Ken Reeves and his orchestra fur- nished the music for dancing. The singer with the orchestra. Miss Claire Nevulis, who was formerly Patsy Kelly in the Boston American serial story and also acclaimed “Miss Massa- chsetts,” went over in a “big way.” Favors and noise makers were dis- tributed during a grand march, and apparently everyone had an enjoyable time. The committee under the super- vision of Miss Ruth I. Wilson, class advisor, was as follows : Daniel O’Leary, John Kulik, James Eaton, Vincent Weir, Michael Zwirbla, Ber- nard Tobin, Charles D’Agata, Michael Tomyl, Helen Dzerkacz, Irene Morrill, Alice Johnson, Barbara Whitney, Eleanor Murphy.

FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE SOCIAL The Freshmen and Sophomores of the high school have finally showed us that they are acquiring ability and dignity. On May 27th a social was conducted by a joint committee of the two classes and was very successful. Music was furnished by Frankie Murdock’s orchestra and refresh- ments were served at intermission. Needless to say, a good time was had by all. The committee, under the direction of the Misses Ruth G. Bradley and Alice L. Fearns, class advisors, was as follows : John MacPherson Doris Kelley George Whalen Virginia Taylor William Gallagher Margaret Crowe Charles Castanza William LeSage Gladys Boeske Raymond Kane June Carbary Leona Arciszewski John King Roger Lawrence 38 THE SCREECH OWL ’Xi u - C ) a; -13 c H H ' m o o - c a iso ' J a; O r S 3J O is I I I I THE SCREECH OWL 39 THE SCREECH OWL STAFF FRONT ROW — Katharine Sheridan, Sylvia Glickman, Irene Carlton, Helen Smalski, Karin Saarinen, Albert Bachrach, Doris LeSage, Rita Gallagher, Rita Foley, Anna Rolynowicz.

BASKETBALL From the Christmas vacation on through the winter weeks, the High School’s athletic and sports loving boys indulged in Intra-Mural League under the supervision of the popular physical director and baseball coach, Mr. Sawyer. This year seventy-three boys took part, with the usual eight teams consisting of players under two appointed captains of each class. These games keep the boys in keen condition and took the place of a foreign competitive sport. The outcome of this year’s race was as follows: Team Captain Won Lost 8 Maskiewicz 7 1 4 Downey 6 2 2 Whalen 5 2 5 Sokolowski 4 3 6 Fouratt 3 4 1 O’Leary 2 5 7 Brigham 1 6 3 Higgins 1 6 BASEBALL Off to a late start because of the cold wet weather, a veteran baseball team, with the usual number of enthu- siastic rookies, finally “hit the dirt” for the first day of practice. An optimistic baseball coach is very rare, but with every one of the reporting team an experienced player, Mr. Sawyer looked forward to a very good season. This outlook was saddened considerably by the loss of George Downey and Louis Lattuca because of ineligibility and George Creighton and Edward Flaherty who are away at school. With the first day of prac- tice only a couple of weeks before the first game. Coach Sawyer, assisted by Captain Priest, got down to busi- ness. in the infield we find Haapenen, 1st base; Kitowecz, 2nd base; Gudzino- wicz, short stop; Colombo, 3rd base; Priest, left field ; Castanza, center field; Quinn, right field. The battery finally boiled down to Joe Wojthie- wicz, catching; with Frank Wojthie- wicz. Smith, Gudzinowicz, Higgins and Donahue, pitching. The Scores of the Games Played 1. Lexington 0 Maynard 5 2.

High School Relay Carnival at Fitchburg and brought home two firsts, in the mile relay and quarter- mile relay, and with them first honors in Class B. TRACK Maynard’s Track Team has finally reached its peak, and has remained undefeated in five dual meets. Not only has it won each meet, but no team has come near to giving them real competition. In the triangular meet with Concord and Framingham, the former has proved to be the only team in Maynard’s class ; and if there is a clash between these two, it ought to be a “humdinger.” Mr. Manty should be highly praised in turning out this perfectly coordinating ma- chine of truly trained high school athletes.

Thirty-six enthusiastic girls participated in the sport.

The Actonites out-hooped our girls by three points here in May- nard, but in Acton, well, the score was 26 to 14. The girls went to battle Concord, February 15, bound to win, and they certainly did. The score speaks for itself — Maynard 33, Concord 9. The members of the team are : Forwards A. Rolynowicz S. Denisewich H. Batulin Guards I. Morrill H. Sofka L. Tervo Substitutes: S. Greenblat, M. Co- burn, F. Shymnowicz. The Senior Girls for the third con- secutive year captured the Interclass Basketball Championship. There was no stopping them (as the lower class- men discovered) when they started their drive. The following are the scores of the games : Freshman bowed to Sophomores, 42 to 20. Sophomores lost to Seniors, 40 to 28. Seniors defeated Freshmen, 69 to 10 . As the Junior Girls could not col- lect six girls, they were forced to for- feit all games. Better luck next year ! The Senior girls leave their best wishes for a most successful and hap- py year of girls’ sports to all under- classmen, and their most sincere gratitude to Miss Dorothy Marsden, their fine coach. If school mag-azines attended school, when graduation came, what honors would be awarded to each one? Well, acting as a board of one I would render the following decisions: For the most changeable cover, “The Record” of the English High School, Boston, would surely win. As would “The Canary and Blue” of Allentown, Penn., for an artistic one. In the Literary Field “The Nod- dler” of East Boston High and “The Meteor” of Berlin, would be neck and neck. The Editorials of “The Argus” are really remarkable, and as a fitting graduation editorial, we would sug- gest “School Spirit” by Dorothy Chap- man. In poetry no magazine could excel the regular excellence of Helen Nis- sen’s verse published in “High Life” of Littleton. For complete alumnae news, “Lasell Leaves” of Auburndale, Boston, stands above all others. Of course Gossip isn’t included in ordinary Graduation Exercises, but because it plays such an important part in school magazines, we should give “Oliver” of Salem High School, a big hand, or better still, a big ear. For School Humor “Ship Ahoy” of Wildwood and “The Record” of Bos- ton receive equal honors. We thought “Gags and Giggles” a good combina- tion of arts and humor. In the field of cartoons “Salt Spray” of Eastport, Maine, always has an array of clever ones. Because originality is the spice of life we would give special awards to: “Lasell Leaves” for their “Not for Men,” “The Argus” for their Candid Camera Spots, “The Noddler” for their “Music Box” and the “Tildenite” of Philadelphia for the silhouettes which illustrated the magazine. An honorable mention to the maga- zines we have been unable to mention and a thank-you for the compliment- ary remarks about “THE SCREECH OWL.” — B. Green. THE WISE OLD OWL WOULD LIKE TO KNOW 1. Why Georg-e T. has that far away look in his eyes ? 2. Where Alyce P. went after the Senior Private Dance? 3. What new romance is budding between a certain Senior girl and Junior boy? 4. Is it really true that the Senior pictures are no longer on dis- play? 5. If the Seniors have paid their candy debts so they can grad- uate? 6. If the soap-box recitations in U. S. History have scared certain people from talking ? 7. Why Lauri Pekkala blushes so easily lately? (How about it Lyli?) 8. Who snores so loudly in class that he wakes himself up? 9. Why so many of the Junior boys have been making excuses about losing their rings ? 10. What prominent Senior boy spent the evening filing his finger nails at a recent class meeting? (It just couldn’t have been A.B.) 11. Why John L. suddenly made pub- licly known a certain interest in someone ? 12. What two Senior girls were paged at the amateur contest? (Was it Reading?) 13. If Mammie H. enjoyed her visit to M. I. T.? 14. If ghosts were the cause of break- ing up Johnnie May’s latest romance ? 15. Why so many people are eating doughnuts on Saturday? (Ask Doris, Helen, and Marion.) 16. What happened to Marion Cut- tell at Pop’s? 17. Why John Trachim takes rides up in the vicinity of Gleasondale? 18. What Senior girl said, “It’s just as well,” at the wrong time. 19. What dignified Senior girl has suddenly gone back to childhood days again and has taken a fancy to playing dolls? 20. Why one of the members of the “Bachelorettes” is among the missing on Monday nights. (Ex- plain yourself. Myrtle.) 21. How the map mysteriously did the disappearing act in the geography class? 22. Why the Wotjkiewicz twins are always singing “You made me love you, but I didn’t want to do it.” 23. What bright little Freshie made this statement, “I am going to be a may bride, I may get married and I may not.” 24. Why Backey came stag to the Senior Private Dance? 25. If K. S. likes pigeons? THE SCREECH OWL 47 ISN’T IT SO 1. That a budget is a method of worrying before you spend in- instead of afterwards. 2. A thin man may live longer than a fat one, but he usually makes a bigger fuss about it. 3. The world’s greatest water power : woman’s tears. 4. If life were likened to a baseball game we’d have to say that many in the crowd didn’t know the score. 5. That they seem to put so many holes in Swiss cheese when it’s the Limburger that really needs the ventilation. 6. You never can tell about a woman — you shouldn’t anyhow. 7. The curse of filling stations is the I.W.W. customer — he wants in- formation, wind, and water. 8. Bridegroom — a bachelor who gives up good quarters to take a better half. 9. Love, the quest; marriage, the conquest; divorce, the inquest; alimony, the request. 10. It used to be Father who gave the bride away, now it’s Reno. 11. Girls who act kittenish before they are married may become cattish when they grow up. 12. The only way to keep out of the next war is to get a job in Wash- ington and buy a pair of spurs so your feet won’t fall off the desk. 13. If you multiply everything you expect your friends to do for you by two and then hustle around and do them for yourself, they will be done. 14. Troubles always seem to learn to add and multiply a lot easier than they subtract. 15. When we’re right we credit our judgment, when we’re wrong we curse our luck. 16. Arguing with a woman is like war, when you win, you lose. ' THE KEYHOLE” ❖ Speaking ' of “true confessions.” A certain young man met Paul Koski a few weeks ago and casually asked, “Where have you been keeping your- self lately?” Paul apologetically replied, “Oh, I know I should have been up, but gee! married life keeps me so busy!” Flash! A new “find” for Benny Goodman. If you’ve never heard a good drummer you should hear Kay Sheridan. Can she swing it? Yes, M am ! And she has a special arrange- ment, too. She whistles while she drums. D. Marsden has taken a great in- terest in nature lately — particularly in the flower branch. She is particu- larly keen on those grown in hot- houses. Her unceasing study of the subject has lately given her a little trouble with her eyes and she “winks.” Rumors say that Danny is getting quite a bit of competition. Evidently that “Saturday Night Party” started something. Norma, we are surprised! Kizik is still the gay Lothario! A few weeks ago we had a visitor at school. Since the visitor was a pretty little “she,” much attention was focused on her. Several boys inquired of other girls as to her name, home town, etc. But Kizik refused to waste time. He immediately went up to her, introduced himself and began to talk. He must have had a good line, because by recess one would think they were old friends. Can it be that A1 Bachrach is just an ““old softy” at heart? We never thought he was the sentimental type. 48 THE SCREECH OWL but who knows. Anyway he was mighty “friendly” in autographing a few of his pictures for the girls. What is there about the typing class H. Marsden dislikes — besides the typewriter? It can’t be the room temperature, because that improved with spring. Well, I can’t tell the secret, but here’s a hint. It’s a pretty “big” reason, and it might possibly have something to do with that “he- man.” Is it true that Alyce Priest has traded in for a new model? Well — maybe it’s just a diversion, but any- how she is frequently seen enjoying the company of George Whelan. Mr. Reynolds’ sketches from Jane Eyre have revealed that we have real actors in the Senior class. Why, K. Johnson was superb as he assumed the role of Jane’s brother in one of the sketches. He was stupendous as he stood before his sister and sar- castically told her what was what, he was dynamic as he burst forth into a passionate fit of anger, and at that tense moment when we thought Ken- ny would reach his peak, suddenly he stopped short — incapable of his next act. He had raised his hand to slap the face of Jane Eyre (M. Hearon). But Jane smiled wistfully and Kenny merely said, “Aw shucks.” His style was cramped ! JOKES Alyce P. — I don’t see how that referee can keep so cool. Louis L. — That’s easy. Look at the fans around him. Anna L. — Dancing is in my blood, you know. George D. — Then you must have a poor circulation. It hasn’t reached your feet. Doctor — Have you any organic trouble ? John M. — I think I have. I can’t even carry a tune. Happy is the mosquito that can pass the screen test. Margaret H.-Your absurdity would make a donkey laugh. Donald J.-Yeah, I noticed you laughing. P. Pronko — Do you serve crabs here ? Waiter — We serve anyone! Sit down. John Maskiewicz — I speak the lan- guage of wild animals. Labowicz — Next time you meet a skunk, ask him what’s the big idea. Mr. Mullin — Can you define non- sense? C. Carbary — An elephant hanging- over a cliff with his tail tied to a daisy. Karin — What’s the name of that song dedicated to the early morning milkman? M. Smith — Oh! You mean Wagon Squeal ? Lauri P. — I told Lyli that each hour spent with her is like a pearl to me. Guy P. — What did she say? Lauri P. — She told me to quit stringing her. B. Muiphy — I’m going to be an aviator. I’ve been air minded for years. Javinen — I guess I’ll be a garage man. I’ve been tow-headed all my life. Miss Wetherbee — Can you tell me what a waffle is ? Priscilla K. — Yes’m, it’s a pancake with a non-skid tread. Helen B. — Why do you call your car baby? Mammie H. — Because it never goes any place without a rattle. THE SCREECH OWL 49 Rita — He doesn’t cut any ice, does he? May— Who? Rita — The coal man. Latva — I want a half pint of gas and a teaspoonful of oil, please. Garage Man — And shall I cough into the tires? Miss Bradley — If I write n-e-w on the’ blackboard, what does that spell ? Doris Bean — New. Miss Bradley — Now, I’ll put a “k” in front of it, and what have we ? Doris Bean — Canoe! Myrtle — There ! I asked you not to leave the cooking door open. Teacher — Why, what’s happened? Myrtle — The draught has shut the cookery book, and now I shan’t know what I’m cooking. Parker — I got up at dawn yester- day to see the sun rise. E. King — You couldn’t have chosen a better time. Mr. Reynolds — Why do we call English our mother tongue? Senior — Because father doesn’t get much time to use it. « ALUMNI NOTES .. Maynard High School is very proud of the achievement of another of its graduates. In 1932, Saimi Keto gradu- ated from the Commercial Course as valedictorian of her class. Then she decided to go to college. She did housework for a year, saved her money, and studied mathematics and Latin in her room evenings. The next year she returned to high school and covered in that year all the required work for entrance to college. She has worked her way through college these last four years, and now she aston- ishes and delights her friends by be- ing elected to the National Honor Society of Phi Beta Kappa. Congratulations, Saimi. You are a living example of “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” Elizabeth Mahoney, Eleanor Fla- herty, and Irene Le Moine are on the Dean’s List at Regis. We appreciate the loyalty of all our graduates who are bringing honor to our school. Congratulations to former editor Elmer Salenius on his new position as Vice-President of the Writers’ Club at Boston University. It was undoubted- ly the training we gave you on the “Screech Owl” that made you vice- presidential timber! Modest Elmer, we all remember, the hard time he had while in high school, to make himself an accom- plished pianist, in addition to earning a straight A record in his subjects and directing the destinies of the Screech Owl. At B. U. he is the holder of a scholarship from the Buck Edu- cational Fund, the income of which is used “to enable young men of unusual promise and of positive Christian character, but with insufficient means, to receive a very much more thorough education than they could otherwise obtain.” Appointments may be “re- newed yearly throughout the college course, a period of graduate study, and through one or two years of pro- fessional study or travel.” All power to you, Elmer!
