THE SCREECH OWL 7 Gladys Pauline Boeske 10 Crane Avenue “I am fond of a brown study.” Class Vice-President (1), Field Hockey (1, 2, 3), Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Inter- class Basketball Captain (1, 2, 3, 4), Cheer Leader (2), All Committees (1, 2, 3), Prom Committee (3), Ring Committee (3), Hallowe’en Dance (4), Christmas Social (4), Screech Owl (3, 4), Special Chorus (4), Student Council Vice-Presi- dent (4), Picture Committee (4). Tall, poised, and efficient, “Sis” as you can see, has been a very busy girl, but her favorite pastimes are bowling, dancing, and basketball. Gladys’s mam ambi- tion, so she says, is to be an “old maid”, but we wonder now! Her advice to underclassmen is: “Try to please others.” — The voice of experience. Right, Gladys! Donald Herbert Brayden 55 Concord Street Tel. No. 265-M “Let not the grass grow in the path of friendship.” Picture Committee (4). You can see “Don” stringing along down at the bowling alleys “pooling” his resources. “Don” hopes to be an employer instead of an employee. And w.th his amiability and good nature it shouldn’t be hard. His favorite song must be The Penny Serenade , for he has been singing the praises of the C. C. C. Albert Frederick Brown 14 Roosevelt Street “Happiness is a sure way to success.” Football (2, 3, 4), Track (3), Band (3), Screech Owl (4), Ring Committee (3), Junior Prom Committee (3), All Dance Committees (3), Christmas Social (4), Special Chorus (4), Golf Team (3), Presentation of Gifts (4). Tall, aquiline, and lithe, “Al” is one of the most popular boys in the Senior class. His ambition is to be a designer. His time, which he used to spend in sports, dances, and girls, is now taken up by his duties as Head-Usher of the town’s amusement centre: the People’s Theatre (plug). He was also one of seven M. H. S. stalwarts who formed our ’41 eleven. Such many and varied fields as football, track, band, literary accomplishments and dance committees are glaring evidence of his versatility, energy, and accomplishment. Elizabeth Buckley 17 Elm Street “Your patience will achieve more than mere force.” Picture Committee (4), Special Chorus (4). Tall, stately, and dignified, “Bucky” has long been a friend and consultant for all. Her easy wit and conversation have brightened many a weary study period. Her ambition delves into beauty culture and hairdressing. We bet “Bucky” will have wavy hair. June Carbary Old Marlboro Road “Pleasant in thy morning — glad they smile.” Secretary of Class (1, 2, 3, 4), Vice-President of Junior Women’s Club (4), Dance Committees (1, 2, 3, 4), Junior Prom Committee (3), Junior Ring Com- mittee (3), Reception Committee (4), Student Council (2), Screech Owl (4), Cheer Leader (3, 4), Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4). June, petite, blonde, and demure, is, by all means, one of the highest ranking girls as far as popularity goes, for what boy or girl can gaze at her charms without feeling that here is a true friend? So many activities for such a petite girl? She has handled each with ease and dexterity. She enjoys a good game of tennis, and bowls quite often, but in dancing we see her at her best.

6 THE SCREECH OWL SENIOR CLASS ROLL Leona Helen Arciszewski 203 Main Street Tel. No. 613 “To worship the people is to be worshiped . 11 Vice-President of Class (3, 4), President of Junior Women’s Club (4), Dance Committee (1, 2, 3, 4), Junior Prom Committee (3), Junior Ring Committee (3), Reception Committee (4), Screech Owl (2, 3, 4), Cheer Leader (3, 4), Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Captain (2), Co-captain (3). Leona, our “Moe,” is short, pretty, blonde, blue-eyed, and intellectual. She has the accomplishment of putting people at their ease as if they were her friends for life — an aptitude found entirely too seldom. Her position as our vice-presi- dent testifies to our gratitude to her enduring charm and gracefulness. Oh, if there were only “Moe” like you! Ruben Aromaa 24 Waltham Street “Each reaps on his own farm . 11 Slender, intellectual, agriculturally minded blonde Ruben, “Bro” to his friends, would like to be a baker. He enjoys skiing. He seems to be a cheerful, happy- go-lucky fellow. His advice “Don’t fret if they call you green; the Romans laughed at the Greeks but they imitated them” is very sound advice that we can all follow. As a baker, for all we know, “Bro” someday may indeed be rolling in “dough”. Arthur Edmund Ayotte 2 Sudbury Court “Wide eyed and still — he dreams awake 11 Outside of a mention of keen blue eyes, and thick dark brown hair, a description of Mr. Ayotte is adequately contained in his nickname — “Shorty”. We acclaim him as one of the most ingenious boys in the class, though he has been rather leisurely in displaying his capabilities. His many interests run enthusiastically from radio to breath-taking skiing. He wants to join the navy, and we think that “Ayotte” could get in if he just works a little “Arthur.” Leonard Warren Babb 11 Acton Court “Though tall, he grins with rosy, boyish glee . 11 Football (3, 4). Leonard Babb, alias “Shorty,” is the big boy of the class. His genial smile can be seen above that of anyone else in school. It is high, wide, and fetching. Leonard is grand both in stature and personality. Despite his patronymic, dur- ing all his years in school, we have never known him to be a Babb-boy. Arline Elizabeth Bemis 15 Summit Street “I shall secure my future 11 Junior Women’s Club (4), Special Chorus (4). Courteous, amiable, and demure Arline, “Betty” to her friends, is one of the quiet, shy girls of the Senior class. Her favorite hobby is taking pictures and home decorating, and her favorite pastime is drawing and hiking. She is often seen walking alone with her dog. Betty’s ambition is to become a registered nurse. We know she will succeed after giving this advice to the underclassmen: “Did you ever stop to consider how much better it is to look ahead and prepare than to look back and regret?”

8 THE SCREECH OWL Earl Haskell Carruth 13 Pleasant Street Tel. No. 583 What shall he have who has killed the deer?’ ’ Shy, gentlemanly “Curly” can be found anytime in his bedroom shining and cleaning his old guns. His collection is a fine one, and he knows the life his- tory of each gun. Earl is a natural fisher and hunter, and he spends weeks in the woods during the summer months. Forestry is his chosen career; so here’s hoping he makes many a prize “catch” in this line. Raymond Catania 149 Main Street Tel. No. 566- J “The flash and outbreak of a lively mind.” Tall, dark, and self-confident, Ray is one of the more industrious boys of our class, as can be plainly seen when he works for his father and also finds time for the strenuous pastime of roller skating. He hopes to secure a government position, and we know that he will have many honors bestowed upon him at his chosen position. Ray is well known in surrounding towns and has had many a good time at the Lake Boone Roller-Drome. Alex Chernak 63 Glendale Street Tel. No. 271 J K “One must be clever to hide one s cleverness Golf (3), Basketball (4), Picture Committee (4), Haunted Hotel (4). It is a wonder to us that Al’s time hasn’t been taken by some girl, since he possesses one of the finest personalities of any boy in the class along with good looks and a fine physique — which the feminine sex go for. A1 is one of the many fine carpenters Maynard High will send out into the world this June, and we unanimously elect you to build our houses if you choose this for your life’s work. Al’s latest accomplishments are golfing and technician on the “Haunted Hotel” staff. Elizabeth Anne Cutaia 195 Main Street “Science deep will genius fit.” Elizabeth is a quiet, but capable brunette with a good mind all her own. “Lizzie” as we better know her, has a quick, winning smile which often supplants the thoughtful expression shown here. Elizabeth excels in all her studies, but is best in science and particularly in chemistry. We are sure she will succeed, for as a chemist, she must know the formula. Helen Cuttell 36 Walnut Street Tel. No. 676-W “Hail to thee, blithe spirit !” Junior Prom Committee (3), All Social Committees (3), Ring Committee (3), Thanksgiving Social (4), Modern Language Club (4), Sunlight Hop Committee (3, 4), Student Council (4), Screech Owl (4), Spring Social Committee (4), English Club (4), Special Chorus (4), Class Outing, Chairman (4), Haunted Hotel (4). Curly-haired-blonde and blushing — yet spirited, Helen is ofte n late, but well worth waiting for — always taking things as they come. Her “he” is an invita- tion to friendship. She and Elena, almost inseparable, have now arranged to be apart a few nights of the week. We “Grant” you this but “Sims” when?
