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.

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.”

24 THE SCREECH OWL John Woroniecki 14 Railroad Street “Nothing can disturb me in my contemplation John, one of the tallest boys in our class, found his Junior Prom to be his brightest moment in high school. We can’t help wondering what could have happened to make it so. Won’t you tell us about it, John? His main ambition is to become an areonautical engineer. We will probably be all up in the air over you, John, in a few years. Here’s “hopping” you don’t “hedge” around. Sophie Ann Zaleska 3 Florida Court “Happy am I from care I’m free Why aren’t they all contented like me f Special Chorus (4), Dance Committees (3, 4), Picture Committee (4), Class Prophecy (4). Tall, brown-haired, dark-eyed, Sophie is one of the quiet commercial students. She has a sympathetic smile. Her main ambition is to become a hairdresser, and we think that profession will have a part in her future. Her favorite pastimes are bowling and photography, a wide, dark field not usually visited by the femi- nine sex. Sophie is easy on the eye and on the disposition. She is unobtrusive, and amiable. Her soft-spoken sentences are like a sedative to many a troubled heart. We don’t know much more, but if you insist, we “Zaleska”. Miss Ruth Bradley Class Adviser
