22 THE SCREECH OWL Mary Trachim 11 High Street “ We grant that although she had much wit She was very shy of using it.” Special Senior Chorus (4). Blonde, shy, and fair, Mary is one of the quietest girls in her class. A charming personality, she likes to read in her spare time and is always on the alert for new postcards to collect. Her ambition is to be a hairdresser. If you sport a custo- mer, we’re sure you’ll be able to “Trachim” down, Mary, (or her, either, for that matter). Mary’s is a future with many a primp and curl. Jean Elizabeth Tucker 56 Summer Street Tel. No. 553- W “ Moderation and abstinence her best methods.” Screech Owl (3), Senior Special Chorus (4), English Club (4). Tall and very blonde, “Tucks” advises the freshmen in the words of the old adage, “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” She practices what she preaches. Jean is a member of the “N. T. D. N.” which can be seen around town almost every afternoon. Jean likes to bowl, and she has just about the sweetest slow ball we’ve ever seen. Norman Clifton Tucker 87 Nason Street “We all love a pretty girl.” Golf Team (3), Picture Committee (4). Norman Tucker, tall, slender, and lackadaisical, makes himself a friend of all with his winning smile. He is heading toward a goal as a clerk in an A P store and maybe a managership, which his pleasant personality will help him at- tain. He is often seen at the local golf course driving a long ball down the fairway. If he keeps in the “fairway” of life as much as in the local course, he will not have to “rough” it. Wilbur Lincoln Walls 3 Oak Street “His business is great ; and in such a case a man may strain courtesy ” Student Council (1, 4), Picture Committee (4), Haunted Hotel (4), Graduation Speaker (4), Football (3, 4), Dance Committees (1, 2, 3, 4), Track (3, 4), Screech Owl (3, 4), A. A. Dances (4), English Club (4), Band (3). “Bill,” who is of medium build and wiry, is one of our most brilliant contribu- tions to society. To describe him one can sum it up in three alliterative words; great, genius, and gymnastic. His accomplishments in the designing and chemis- try fields are a proof of his capability, but when he steps out before the foot- lights, one wonders why he has chosen chemical engineering for his life work. His versatility has been shown by his many activities. “Owen” to his speed on the track, no one can “Toz” him on the gridiron. Helen Wanda Wasiuk 41 Glendale Street “Great force is hidden here behind a sweet command .” Reception Committee (4), Student Council (2), Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Screech Owl (4), Special Chorus (4), Cheer Leader (3, 4). Helen’s natural ability is sure to win her countless friends when she enters the world to .come. She plans to be a hairdresser, and we haven’t a doubt that many boys will be going to get their hair done. Say Charlie for instance. If he “Wasiuk,” he would surely go to you, for as a beautician you would be sure to have “manicures.”

THE SCREECH OWL 21 Walter Edward Soroka 18 Railroad Street “Not afraid of work, but not in sympathy with it.” Tall, grave, yet with many a thoughtful smile, “Jut” is an ardent member of the Railroad Street Bachelor’s Club. He claims his darkest moment was trying to dance at the Junior Prom. Is that the reason you joined the Bachelor’s Club, “Jut”? If so, we all had to learn once, and there wasn’t any Bachelor’s Club then. William John Stades 16 Glendale Street “Unblemished let me live and grant me honest fame.” Assistant Football Manager (3), Football Manager (4), Orchestra (1, 2, 3), Inter-class Basketball (1, 2, 3), Junior Dance Decorative Committee (3), Banquet and Night Class Committee (4). “Doc’s” favorite pastime is playing billiards. His hobby is collecting old money, and as his ambition is to be an orchestra leader, here’s hoping he’ll collect new money for a change. Doc has a sense of humor. He says his darkest moments in high school was developing pictures in the lab. Let’s hope all his future mo- ments will be bright. Antonio Salvatore Terrasi 12 Arthur Street Tel. No. 79-M “A youth both shy and diligent.” “How many miles to Walt ham ?” Reception Committee (4). Quiet, dark, and often blushing is Antonio. Since “Toe’s” hobby is photography, he spends much of his spare time at Samuel’s Studio puzzling over hypos and developing solution. What we’d really like to know, Toe, is what does Waltham have that Maynard doesn’t?. Those week-end dances are very interesting, you slip away to, we understand. We give up, Toe, who is she? Don’t keep us in the dark, as in room. Marion Terrasi 12 Main Street Tel. No. 415-M “I choose to study while I am young.” Marion is a pretty and retiring brunette. She has most ladylike manners and studious habits. She would like, we hear, to attend Regis College in the fall. Once there we know that she will prove herself a young woman of decided promise. James Morris Tobin 22 Lincoln Street Tel. No. 476- J “Who is this dark and polite gentleman ? “A true artist takes no notice whatever of the public.” Dance Committee (4). Dark, mysterious, and pleasant, “Tobe” is the class glamour boy. Although at first he was restricted to local talent he has now blossomed forth in weekly trips to neighboring towns in his now famous car, “Passion”. Being a feminine-heart palpitater is not his only accomplishment as evidenced by his decided artistic talent. By combining the two he “art” to be good.

THE SCREECH OWL 23 William Francis Watt 30 Main Street “ Blushing is virtue ' s color. Haunted Hotel (4). Blue-eyed, stocky and decidedly blonde, “Bill” seems to be on friendly terms with practically everybody in Maynard, and why not? For he is responsible and considerate. This says a lot for success, “Bill”. His ambition is to be an engi- neer. He doesn’t say what kind, but it must be a marine engineer, for he is a “Watt-er” man. Margaret Gertrude Whalen 82 Main Street “ Assurance is two-thirds of success.” Screech Owl (3, 4). Tall, brown-haired and level-headed, Peggy has combined studies with athletics throughout her high school career. Her grades have been good. Her field hockey exploits have thrilled us all. Her life so far has been ever governed by her earnest desire to become a nurse, and with such conscientious preparations she can not help succeeding, white-uniformed, in hospital corridors. Alfred Taylor Whitney 130 Great Road Tel. No. 453- W “An engine to stop all clocks.” Tall and curly-haired, “Al” is the speed demon of the class. Whenever you hear a mighty clash at any street corner, you may be sure it’s “Al.” His hobby is fooling around cars and motorcycles — a hobby which can lead into a profitable occupation. When “Al” drives out round, we wonder “Whitney” he uses to hold the wheel in place. Walter Howard Wirtanen 31 River Street “I hasten to laugh at all things.” Track (2, 3). Walt is dark, gray-eyed, droll and wistful, yet energetic as can be seen by many trips to Nuttings. “Nutting” can be said about his companions as they aren’t of the local crop, but we believe they are good “skaters” for Walt has good eyes. He likes to drive and carry people in his car. We hope, though, he will have something to “chauffeur” it. Oh well “chauffeur” so good. Jennie Frances Wojtkiewicz 17 McKinley Street “Rich and rare were the smiles she wore And happy and bright were the charms she bore ” Screech Owl (4), Special Chorus (4), Graduation Speaker (4). Jennie’s main ambition is to be a success in the business world. Her high ranks in the Commercial Course will help her in whatever field of work she may enter, or maybe a certain someone whom she is interested in may help her to decide what course she will take after graduation.
