Mullin Editorials We ' ll Always Remember A year ago in May, I sat deep in thought, pencil in hand, writing ’42’s farewell to ’41. 1 was then a Junior so the real significance of graduation did not dawn upon me. It seemed to me the culmination of a few weeks’ glorious round of banquets, outings, and dances. Now, as a Senior, I see the picture in a clearer light. For some of us. Graduation Day is the end of all our school years. We sever our ties of friendship and each goes his way. The hilari- ous study periods, the moments of anguish spent in conjugating French verbs, the terrify- ing exploits in the Lab., Socials, Junior Proms, and Football Rallies will all become rolled into one joyous memory to be looked back upon in the years to come. We are not the first class to set out on a journey with destination unknown, but we are the first class to graduate in the period of World War II. Our travels will be more diffi- cult than those of previous classes as we are being thrown into a world of strife and chaos. Therefore, Class of ’42, it is our duty to make the best of circumstances, practice the teach- ings, and follow the advice received in May- nard Fligh and keep the glorious memory of our Alma Mater shining in our hearts forever. The Editor, ’42 How to Win the War Although “Let’s Remember Pearl Harbor’’ is the slogan for World War II, how many people really do remember it? I do not mean that they have forgotten what occurred there, but they do fail to realize what we must under- go to prevent any such attach from occurring again. When people complain about the shortage of sugar, gas, and other things, we should ask them to pause long enough to com pare their sacrifices with those of our boys in the Army, Navy, and Marines, and we can be assured that they then will be too embarrassed to men- tion their complaints. We all can work and win this war, but this younger generation must not have the impression that only our boys in uniform are fighting, because this time, over- alls and aprons must play as important a part as other uniforms. This great war requires the skill, knowledge, and labor of every man, woman, and child in the United States, and I am certain all we need is inspiration to get us started, and then we’ll continue onward our- selves. There is one way in which every one of us can do his part. That method is by the invest- ment of money. It is the patriotic duty of every American — man, woman, and child, to buy defense stamps and bonds and to buy them regularly. Do this and from now on I am certain that we will all “Remember Pearl Harbor.” Mary IMoyxihax, ’45 Uncle Sam Needs Your Money I wonder if any of us fully realizes the amount of money and the number of human lives that this war is costing America daily. Figures from our nation’s capital show that during the past few months in which America has been at war, the cost has been more than the total expenditure of the first World War. Naturally these debts must be paid. And, we, the people of America, must help to honor these debts, either by the burden of taxes later, or by a small weekly investment in the form of Defense Stamps and Bonds. If every man, woman, and child in the United States were to buy one ten-cent defense stamp each week, the total would exceed thirteen million dollars. At that rate, we would be paying money into the treasury almost as fast as it is being spent. America needs planes, tanks, ships, and guns, and America needs them NOW. Don’t let her down, because it is a small sacrifice on your part for the country that is giving its life so that you may enjoy the liberties to which you are accustomed. “Victory won’t wait for the country that is late.” Alice R. Thaxe, ’44 THE SCREECH OWL 5 As We Go Dear Classmates, now the time has come When we must go our separate ways, When we must leave this school of ours Where we have spent such happy days. Soon we shall step across the way Into a world which is all new. Although it may be hard at first Let’s show that world what we can do. Let’s not be among the lazy laggers Traveling on the way of life. Real leaders are what this world needs To guide it from its care and strife. Though roads may be quite hard and rocky. Though we may stumble on the trail. If every day we do our best We’ll not be of the ones who fail. We want to thank our teachers all For everything which they have done To aid us when we needed help Good cheer to each and every one. We’re going to miss 3 011, Maynard High For a long time after we are gone; But we are sure that memories Of you, will always linger on. Priscilla Marchant, ’42 6 THE SCREECH OWL SIEP IIOIR CLASS IROILIL Joseph Ayotte Joe is really what we call a “live wire.” He’s always ready with an answer to any remark. So far as we know, Joe’s interests lie outside of Maynard, but he keeps things lively wherever he is, especially in the First National Super Market. Alphonse Baker Basketball (2, 3, 4), Football (4), Baseball (4). Baker is always full of fun, and his ready laugh can be heard from here to thea.e. His chief interests are baseball and Hudson girls. “Jumbo” is now working in the American Woolen Company. Mary Baldi Dark-haired, petite, and demure are descriptive of Mary. We don’t know much about her, because she is so quiet, but we do know that we are proud and glad that she is a member of the class of 1942. If we had more people like Mary, the world wouldn’t be such a bad place in which to live. George Bowse Junior Prom Committee (3), Student Council (3) , Screech Owl (4), Banquet Committee (4), Outing Committee (4) Reception Commit- tee (4) , Class Will (4) . Blond and blue-eyed, “Bowsey” is an ardent sportsman. He is often seen with his gun or fishing rod, heading for the woods or stream. George likes to hunt pheasants. Some day he may go hunting for big game in far off places or daintier game in nearby places. Philip Biiscemi Football (1, 2, 3, 4), Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Junior Social (3), Screech Owl (3, 4), Junior Prom Committee (3), Baseball (4), Reception Committee (4), Banquet and Class Night Committee (4), Outing Committee (4), Screech Owl Dance Committee (4), Cap and Gown Committee (4), Picture Committee (4), Class Prophecy (4), All Senior Social Committees (4). Phil is one of the most popular boys of the class of 1942. He has contributed much of his time to sports and has done a swell job of it. Keep plunging through. Bill, and we are sure you will score. THE SCREECH OWL 7 Rose Buscemi When a rippling laugh breaks the silence, you know that Rosie is nearby. And if she is nearby, the chances are that her bosom pal Crucifina is in the immediate vicinity. We know that if she keeps smiling in future years as she has in the past four years the world will be a brighter place in which to live. Helen Bygot Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Picture Committee (4), Cap and Gown Com- mittee (4). Helen is a quiet, shy girl in school, although weVe heard that she changes her calmness outside. Everyone admires her platinum blonde hair (the real thing) , and once you see it, you don’t forget it. Crucifina Cannella Cruci doesn’t make much noise, but her friends know how cheerful she is. Her ambition is to be a secretary. With her cheer- fulness, she is bound to brighten someone’s office. Thomas Cary Craft Club (1, 2), Dramatic Club (3, 4), Football (4). Debonair, dashing “Cary” may be seen strolling through the halls at any recess. His hearty laughter, congeniality, and interest in blondes make him one of our best-liked students. We have no idea as to what Tommy’s ambition is, but we bet it’s a good one, and will eventually take him to Belmont. Annie Columbo Junior Prom Committee (3), Poster Committee (3), Student Coun- cil (4), Senior Activities Committee (4), Senior Social Committee (4), Thanksgiving Social (4). Brown-haired, brown-eyed Annie with her cheerful voice and friendly smile has the ability to put new acquaintances at ease. She is interested in cooking and sewing. Her letters to the soldiers in service certainly give her a rating of first class morale builder. 8 THE SCREECH OWL Ruth Croft Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Basketball (1, 2), Student Council (3), Graduation Program (4), Class Night (4). Just ask any one who the sweetest member of the Senior Class is, and the answer will invariably be Ruthie Croft. Her singing voice, her willingness to help others, and her cheerfulness have en- deared her in the hearts of her classmates forever. Keep singing and smiling, Ruthie. Kathleen Crotty Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Poster Committee (3). Inquisitive, loquacious “Coleena” has been the shining light of the senior physics class. We will never forget her spirited argu- ments and brilliant replies. With her cheery disposition, and will- ing helpfulness, she will go far in the nursing profession. Frances Demery Field Hockey (1), Valentine Social Committee (4), Banquet Com- mittee (4), Outing Committee (4), Reception Committee (4), Class Prophecy (4). A cute little blonde, full of “pep” is Franny. But hands off, boys, her heart belongs to a gentleman of the class of ’41. Her care- free manner is no index of her scholastic ability. She is an excel- lent student and a great pal. Beverly Denniston Field Hockey (1, 2), Sophomore Social Committee (2), Junior Woman’s Club (3, 4), Poster Committee (3), Thanksgiving Social (4), Senior Social (4), Senior Activities Committee (4), Class Gifts (4). Jolly, good-hearted “Bev”, with a smile for everyone is one of the nicest girls in the Senior class. Pretty soon “Bev” will enter the business world, and if she progresses as fast in her work as she does in her typing we know she will make good. Fiorentino DiGrappo 4-H Handicraft Club (1, 2, 3), Student Council (3), Stage Manager in Dramatic Club (3, 4), Radio Club (3), Picture Committee (4), Senior Activities Committee (4). Did you ever see Tino without a grin? Can you imagine his looking cross? Why, of course not. With such cheerfulness he cannot help but succeed. His vast general knowledge and his will- ingness to learn will also play a great part in his future. THE SCREECH OWL 9 Gordon Doel Doel is a quiet boy in school. His outside interests lie in hunt- ing, fishing, and trapping. But I hear of late he spends most of his time in Stow pursuing an interest which has nothing to do with hunting, fishing, and trapping — perhaps. Daniel Dudzinski Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Football (2, 3, 4), Student Council (1, 2), Freshman-Sophomore Social (1), Prom Committee (3), Thanksgiv- ing Social (3), Valentine Social (3), Picture Committee (4), Senior Social (4), Thanksgiving Social (4), Valentine Social (4), Cap and Gown Committee (4). At every social, when the evening is at its climax, a group of laughing, chattering dancers gather in between numbers at the door of the auditorium. In their midst, stands tall, dark, and silent Danny — and when the music starts Danny dances with the fairest of M. H. S.’s beauties. Danny is certainly proof that the silent, mysterious type of man arouses the curiosity and admiration of the “blondes and brunettes.” Virginia Edwards One of the quiet members of the Commercial Department is “Ginny”. She is unusually proficient in her commercial work, and she is said to be bashful but has found a way to overcome her bash- fulness at the Acton dances. Her candy counter at Newberry’s has always been popular. Do you think it’s the candy, or is it a case of sweets from the sweet? Ruth Garside Class Secretary (3, 4), All Dance Committee (1, 2, 3, 4), Basket- ball (1, 2), Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Student Council (1, 2), Junior Prom (3), Screech Owl (3, 4), Screech Owl Dance Committee (4), Junior Ring Committee (3), Reception Committee (4), Banquet Committee (4), Cap and Gown Committee (4), Class Will (4), Out- ing Committee (4). The class of ’42 will always remember Ruth as one of the best- looking, best-dressed, and most popular girls. She is always willing to help, and both girls and boys will agree that she has been a sin- cere friend. Keep smiling, Ruth! Albert Greeno Basketball (2, 3, 4), Football (2, 3, 4), Baseball (3), A. A. Social Committee (4). On the coldest day in February, when the snow was two feet high, and the “no school” whistle had rung out in time to allow the rest of M. H. S. to turn over in bed for “two more winks,” A1 deliv- ered newspapers with a cheery smile and a happy greeting. Keep this spirit going, Al, and no adversity will seem any deeper than the snow through which you ploughed last winter. 10 THE SCREECH OWL Bernice Hatch Bernice is one of the ambitious girls of the class. She is never without some sort of outside job. With a pleasant smile for every- one, a happy-go-lucky manner, Bernice goes merrily on her way. Esther Hekkala Basketball (1, 2, 3), Field Hockey (3, 4). Such a fine sense of humor cannot be equaled. Esther is a won- derful addition to any gathering, and we consider ourselves lucky that she is a member of the class of 1942. Her main interest, how- ever, is in the J. K. Club in more ways than one. Walter Higgins Football (1, 2, 3, 4), Co-Captain (4), Interclass Basketball (1, 2, 3), Inter-Mural Basketball (2, 3, 4), Baseball (1, 2, 3, 4), Class Treas- urer (1, 2, 3, 4), All Dance Committee (1, 2, 3, 4), Class Night Speaker {A) , Screech Owl (4). “Hig” is one of the school’s outstanding athletes. Besides be- ing Co-Captain of the football team, he has been active in basketball and baseball. Walt is also well-known for his big smile which en- abled him to rate as one of the most popular boys in the class. Toivi Karhumaa Baseball (1, 2, 4), Band (1, 2), Orchestra (1, 2, 3, 4), Basketball (1, 4). Toivi is one reason why all girls don’t prefer men tall, dark, and handsome. He is definitely tall, blonde, and handsome. Al- though blondes are supposed to go for brunettes, Fedo prefers fair- haired Siirkka. She’s his main interest, but baseball, dancing, and the J. K.’s, play an important part in his life. Albert Kenfield Kenfield is another one of the boys who is now attending Waltham Trade School. He is a quiet boy, with a pleasant smile. His hobby is raising goats — work that Albert has found to be both interesting and profitable. THE SCREECH OWL 11 Elizabeth King Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Field Hockey 2nd Team Captain (3), H. S. Band, Chorus Accompanist (1, 2), Basketball (3), Honor member of Maynard Woman’s Club, Picture Committee (4), Grad- uation Program. “Libby”, as we all know, is very considerate and studious. Whatever task she performs she does well. Her red hair attracts attention wherever she goes. Part of “Libby’s” time is taken up by “Erickson’s Dairy” and “Shorty”, but in her spare time she man- aged to be one of our high scorers on the Field Hockey Team. Her ambition is to be a nurse, and we all know that many sick people will get well if “Lib” is around. Helen Kisley Helen appears to be quiet and bashful, but to her closest friends she is known as the life of the party. Her attractive clothes and pleasing personality are just what a good secretary should have. She has captured the hearts of many lads, but she has a real weak- ness for men from far off places. Irma Koivu All Dance Committees (1, 2, 3, 4), Class Secretary (2), Student Council (1, 2, 3, 4), Vice President (4), Junior Prom (3), Cap and Gown Committee (4), Graduation Speaker (4). Tall, attractive, witty, genial, ambitious, and orderly! What more could one ask ! Irma is a fine student, popular with both class- mates and teachers. She has already taken her first step to success by getting a job before school closed. We are sure she would be an eyeful in any company, but especially so in an optical company. John Korpi John is one of the boys who are taking a special defense course at the Waltham Trade School. He is learning to be a machinist. Soon John will be working in a defense industry, doing his part to win the war. Olga Kuchun Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Poster Committee (3), Picture Committee (4). As a Freshman Olga made her debut on the hockey field and since that time has been cne of the main props of the team. Along with her pal “Coleena” she will enter nursing and will, in the near future, bring a ray of sunshine to her patients. 12 THE SCREECH OWL Albert Kugima Basketball (1, 3, 4), Baseball (3, 4), Football (4). “Butch”, after remaining quiet for three years, has blossomed into one of our foremost athletes. Although sports and work take up most of his time, he has many friends among the fair sex. Be- cause he blushed so frequently, it was supposed that he was bashful, but his visits to Hudson must have cured him for he blushes no more. Waslaw Lankiewicz Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Baseball (1, 2, 3, 4), Baseball Captain (4), Freshmen Social, Sophomore Social. One of the quiet members of the Maynard wolves, “Vert” is well known for his speed on the basketball court. Basketball, in interest, is second only to a sweet little Miss from Lynn who captured his heart two summers ago. This mysterious fellow will go places aided by “Jennie with the dark brown hair.” Doris Lent Field Hockey (1, 2), Oratorical Contest (1), Basketball (1, 2), Junior Woman’s Club Treasurer (3), Junior Woman’s Club (3, 4), Sexette, Graduation Program (4), Senior Girls’ Chorus (4). This dark haired lass is known chiefly for her beautiful speak- ing voice and her scholastic ability. Her qualities are too numerous to mention. The brighter moments of Doris’s life are usually spent at those Thursday night dances in Acton, which are also patronized by a tall pro-football player from Woburn and a dark-haired boy from Lincoln, both of whom bring out that interested look in her eyes. Edmund Lovvney He is very shy and he avoids girls. He is now going to Wal- tham Trade School. He spends most of his time, hunting and fish- ing in the great outdoors far, far from women. But there may come a day, Edmund! ! Jean Lynch Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Prize Winner Oratorical Contest (1), Screech Owl (3, 4), Editor (4), The Haunted Hotel (3), Cheer Leader (3, 4), Junior Woman’s Club (Chairman of Program Com- mittee) (3), President of Junior Woman’s Club (4), Student Coun- cil (4), Dramatic Club (3), Vice-President of Dramatic Club (4), Picture Committee (4), Honorary Member of Maynard Woman’s Club (4), Daughters of American Revolution Good Citizenship Pilgrim (4), Meet the Family (4). She is one of the most brilliant and outstanding students in the Class of ’42, and her charming personality has spoken for itself in the past four years. Her ambition, at present, is to enter Pharma- cist School in the fall. Jean’s job at Manning’s appears to be “very” interesting and we know it is convenient for a certain curly-haired lad to drop in for a “coke” or a college ice. THE SCREECH OWL 13 Walter Makush Track (1), Student Council (1), Cap and Gown Committee (4), Class Activities Committee (4), Dance Committee (4). Handsome, healthy, and happy, Walter is the Romeo of the class, for in his own quiet way he manages to keep on good terms with all the girls. His chief interest (outside of girls) is aviation. Soon “Wally” will be in the Air Corps flying and fighting for Uncle Sam. Watch out, Hirohito, Benito, and Adolph! Priscilla Marchant Oral Speaking Contest (1), Class Secretary (1), All Committees (1), Screech Owl (2, 3, 4), Dramatic Club (3, 4), Junior Woman’s Club (4), Picture Committee (4). What a combination of attractive qualities has Priscilla! She is an honor student; she has an even-mannered disposition; she dances with the best; she is efficiency personified. Who wouldn’t want to hire her as a private secretary? Jerry Mariani Jerry, who is tall and dark haired, is interested in mechanics. He does not appear to be interested in any girl yet but we think that there will be some changes made in the attitude. Sociable, likeable, but very independent, he will rely on his ingenuity to help him make his way in life. Theresa Mariano Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Field Hockey Cap- tain (4). Everyone will always remember Theresa as a reliable soul. We know of her intense interest in field hockey and basketball. She is also well known for her outbursts of laughter in the commercial room. Lots of luck to a loyal friend. Ester Mark Field Hockey (1), Basketball (1), Screech Owl (4). Ester, who signs her drawings “Esta”, is one of our most ac- complished students. Her artistic ability, originality, and polished technique will lead her to success. Ester can always have a good time any and every place she goes. Among her intimate friends, she is called “Butch.” She intends to be a nurse, and we are sure she will make her “Mark” as a pulse taker. 14 THE SCREECH OWL Leonard McKenna McKenna, better known as “Mac”, is a speedy young man. He is busy working at the A and P Super and usually on the seventh day is busy with a spry young Miss called “Bev”. Mac’s ambition has not been talked about, but, whatever it is, it will be original and interesting, we hope. Kenneth Meister Dramatic Club (4), Picture Committee (4). Tall, brown haired Ken is one of the intellectuals of the class. His interests lie chiefly in school work and dramatics. He was voted many honors by his classmates, but the one that fits him best is “Talks least says most.” Phyllis Merrick Dramatic Club (3), Meet the Family (4) , Junior Woman’s Club (4), Graduation Program (4). It is rare, indeed, to find a beautiful girl who knows all the answers, but Phyllis is the young lady at M. H. S. who possesses both comeliness and intelligence. No wonder her classmates like and admire her. Her trim figure and golden blonde hair are really something for any girl to envy. Nellie Mikola jczyk Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Inter-Mural Basketball (1), Inter-Class (1, 2, 3, 4), Picture Committee (4), Art Committee (4), Field Hockey Social (4). Nellie is the comforting girl of the class. Whenever someone feels ill, Nellie is always there to soothe away the patient’s troubles. Nellie has taken up all the sports, and has excelled in them. She also likes to draw. Her carefree, congenial personality has brought her many friends. Morgan Molloy Track (1), Manager (2), Football (2, 3, 4), Sophomore Social Com- mittee (2), Thanksgiving Social (3), Valentine Social (3), Junior Prom Committee (3), Valentine Social (4), Thanksgiving Social (4), Cap and Gown Committee (4), Student Council Treasurer (4). Morgan, besides being one of the best looking boys in the c lass, is also one of our foremost athletes. His consistent good playing helped the Orange and Black to pull victory out of the jaws of de- feat on many occasions. As a dancer, his classmates call him the best and have voted him as such. THE SCREECH OWL 15 William Morrill Golf Team (2), Basketball (3, 4), Baseball (3, 4), Picture Com- mittee (4). Dark-haired, brown-eyed Bill is a pitcher on the baseball team. Encouraged by his father, Bill has become a reputable hurler. Be- sides playing baseball and basketball, he does some first class golf- ing. Bill is well liked for his friendliness, sincerity, courtesy, and good manners. Lillian Nivala Field Hockey (1, 2, 3), Basketball (1, 2, 3). Lillian is the other half of Swartz, Nivala, Inc. “Lily’s” sense of humor, pleasant ways, and willingness to lend a hand will endear her to her classmates for many years to come. Although Lillian doesn’t say much about how she spends her spare time, we know that she’d like to spend it in Hartford, Connecticut, which she plans to make her future home. Too bad for us, “Lily,” that that city is so far away. Helen Nowick Screech Owl (3, 4), Assistant Editor (4), Sophomore Social Com- mittee (2), Valentine Social (3), Junior Prom Committee (3), Poster Committee (3), Senior Social Committee (4), Picture Com- mittee (4), Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Cheer Leader (2, 3). Helen possesses all the qualities of a perfect secretary. She has good looks, good clothes, a nice personality, and is one who knows her business. She has proved to be a success, for she was one of the first to leave school to take a steady job. Good luck to one of the commercial’s best. Anne Perillo Basketball (1, 2), Junior Prom (3), Screech Owl (1, 2), Valentine Dance (4), Thanksgiving Social (4), Picture Committee (4), Out- ing Committee (4), Banquet Committee (4), Reception Committee (4), Cap and Gown Committee (4), Screech Owl Dance (4). Anne is one of the most popular girls in our class. She is petite and pretty and has many friends. She is a true and faithful pal who is always willing to do anything to help a friend. She is a good stu- dent, and her smile brightens up the Commercial Department. Al- though she’s had the boys guessing about her for four years, thei e is no guessing about her future success. Her outstanding personal- ity and her attractive smile will surely take her places. Eileen Perry Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Inter-Mural Basketball (1, 2. 3, 4), Inter- Class Bask etball (1, 2, 3, 4), Screech Owl (3, 4), Field Hockey Social (4). Eileen is the girl with the double-life. Outside of school she devotes most of her time to a member of the class of ’- 0. In school her friends know her as a good sport, a good student with a cheery disposition and without a man on her mind. 16 THE SCREECH OWL Jennie Piecewicz Basketball (1,2). Jennie is a very attractive young lady with blue eyes and brown hair. She has taken the Household Arts Course and is known for her ability to sew and cook. She must be domestic minded — how about it, Jennie? Sophie Piecewicz Field Hockey (2, 3, 4), Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Freshman Social Committee (1), Sophomore Social Committee (2), Junior Prom Committee (3), Cap and Gown Committee (4). Sophie is a true friend and is always full of fun. She is a won- derful dancer and can certainly “cut a rug.” Her successful career has already been launched, because she is now working at the American Optical Company. Pauline Poulson Orchestra (1, 2), Senior Girls’ Chorus Sextet (4). “Betty” is a tall girl with brown hair and lovely brown eyes. She likes dancing and music. She intends to take up beauty culture — at least “for the duration.” Mary Ellen Punch Class Vice-President (1, 2, 3, 4), All Dance Committees (1, 2, 3, 4), Screech Owl (3, 4), Assistant Editor (4), Cap and Gown Committee (4), Junior Prom (3), Junior Ring Committee (3), Reception Com- mittee (4), Banquet Committee (4), Outing Committee (4), Basket- ball (1, 2, 4), Field Hockey (1) ; Cheer Leader (3). This redhead is one of the most pop ular girls in the Senior Class. Just look at that friendly smile! It certainly brightens up the dullest room when Mary walks in. Her list of activities prove that she is a capable and dependable girl. Lady Fortune must have smiled at Mary, for brains, beauty, and personality are hard to find in the same person. Evidently that boy in Concord thinks so, too. Agda Reini Screech Owl (3), Junior Woman’s Club (4). Agda is a dependable, capable, and fun-loving girl. Although she may be a business woman at school, you should be in her com- pany when she goes out of town. Fitchburg held great interest for her until “he” got drafted. Now she’s singing “Deep in the Heart of Texas.” THE SCREECH OWL 17 Ralph Richardson Ralph is a quiet young man who is well-liked by all who know him. His chief interest outside of school lies in photography. If you haven’t seen his collection, you’ve missed something. You’d probably be surprised to find a few pictures of yourself in it. He recently took a job in the American Woolen Company. John Rubasko John is one of the mysterious boys of the class. He discusses his outside activities with few people, but we do know that he is in- terested in hunting and fishing and is a good sportsman. John is now a student at the Waltham Watch Factory’s School. He will become a skilled craftsman in a year or so — with time on his hands. Sophie Salamone Sophie has always been a good friend. Her witty sayings and liveliness make her popular with her classmates. Her ambition is to become a secretary to a big executive. Mary Schnair Valentine Social Committee (3), Cap and Gown Committee (4). Mary is one of the breeziest members of our class. Her witty remarks have won her many friends. We understand that she has an interest in the Army. Come on, Mary, don’t keep us in the dark about the boy in uniform! Mary’s ambition is to be a good secre- tary. If she follows in her Dad’s footsteps, perhaps some day we shall see her soaring among the clouds in her spare time. Colbert Sewall Student Council (1), Valentine Social Committee (3), Student Council (4), Screech Owl, Business Manager (4), Cap and Gown Committee (4), Picture Committee (4), Thanksgiving Social Com- mittee (4). Sewall is undoubtedly one of the intelligentsia of M. H. S. On the side, he is working for Uncle Sam at the post office, and he wants, some day, to become postmaster. Keep plugging, “Sewall,” we ar e sure you will deliver the mail. 18 THE SC REECH OWL Eugene Sjoblom Screech Oivl (1, 2, 3). Elki’s favorite sport is swimming. When good old summer- time comes rolling around, Elki can always be found thrashing about in the nearest pool. In the swim of life, Elki, always keep your head above water. Glub ! Glub ! Grace Smith “Grade” is a very small girl, but she is just full of personality. You can always count on her when you need someone to help you out of a tough place. She enjoys outdoor sports, but is often seen at the movies. She would like to become an air stewardess. John Stewart Dance Committee (1, 2, 3, 4), Cooking Club (1), Student Council (2), Junior Prom Committee (3). “Stewie” is a good-looking boy with brown eyes and brown curly hair. He is known for his ability to dance, and he likes to roller skate. He left us recently to go to Waltham Trade School. Edith Swartz Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Field Hockey (2, 3, 4), Dramatic Club (3), Screech Owl (4). A cheery smile is characteristic of Edith. Need we mention her scholastic ability for which she is well kno vn? She tells little about her private life, but we’d like to know what interests her in Chelsea to such an extent that she spends all her extra time there? Donald Thompson Craft Club (3, 4). Donald is one of the air wardens who watches the sky from the Maynard Observation Tower. We compliment Don on his patriotism, but we fear that should a fleet of enemy bombers approach from any direction other than Linden Street, the town of Maynard wo uld be in shambles before Don could give a signal. You know, Donald, you’re supposed to watch over the whole town — not just Ann’s house ! THE SCREECH OWL 19 Allen Wainio Tall, blonde, light complexioned, Allen is one of the quiet boys, but he is still very popular. He is interested in machinery and woodworking. His girl friends are numerous, yet he finds time to see them all. If gasoline rationing becomes more severe he will have to become less popular. Poor Allen ! Leo Wirkkanen Orchestra (1, 2, 4) . Leo is quiet, thoughtful, and intelligent. He likes tennis, too, but mountain-climbing seems to be his main ambition or dream. Perhaps some day he will climb the Matterhorn. Who knows? Helen Worensky This pretty redhead will always call forth pleasant thoughts in the days to come. She is known for her ability in household arts, and since her admirers come from near and far, we know that the old adage, “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” still holds true. Mary Zaniewski Screech Owl (3), Junior Woman’s Club (4). Mary is well-liked, dignified, studious, and very shy. If one day we see Maynard towering with sky-scrapers, we will know that Mary has fulfilled her ambition to become an architect. 20 THE SCREECH OWL Francis Crowley Class President (1, 2, 3, 4), Student Council (1, 2, 3, 4), President (4), Football (1, 2, 3, 4) Track (1, 2, 3), Basketball (1, 2, 3), All Dance Committees (1, 2, 3, 4), Screech Owl (1, 2), Haunted Hotel (3), Junior Ring Committee (3), Junior Prom Committee (3), Senior Banquet (4), Senior Outing (4), Reception Committee (4), Dramatic Club (4), Cap and Gown Committee (4), Class Night Speaker (4). To Franny — we doff our hats. He has been the President of our class for four years. His genial personality, great popularity, squareness and friendliness, plus his exploits on the gridiron and in the basketball court have made him outstanding. Franny will surely go down “Never To Be Forgotten” in the annals of Maynard High. Amos Kiijula Amos, who came from Maine last fall, stayed with us just long enough to get acquainted. He left our school several months ago to take a special defense course at the Waltham Trade School, where he is learning to be a machinist. He likes to drive old but fast cars, but the tire and gas shortages will slow him down to a walk. Miss Vena Field, Class Adviser The Class of ’42 is sincerely grateful to its adviser for all she has done to make it a success. Her time, energy, and work have been given freely to the class during the past four years. She has been a real adviser and sincere friend.

Alumni News We are proud to say that the number of Maynard High School graduates who are now in our armed forces is legion. Maynard High School is represented on the land, in the air, and on the sea. Class of ' 37 The Screech Oivl is very proud to reprint the following citation from the Navy about a young man, who graduated in the Class of ’37. Citation To: Boltrukiewicz, Edward J., 201 72 75, sea2c., USN For distinguished devotion to duty and extra- ordinary courage and disregard of personal safety during the attack on the United States Pacific Fleet, in Pearl Harbor, Territory of Hawaii, by Japanese Forces on December 7, 1941, when, as a member of one of the boats’ crews of the U. S. Naval Air Station, Pearl Harbor, you assisted, in a most efficient man- ner, in rescuing many men from the inflamed oil-covered waters around the disabled battle- ships, despite the severe enemy bombing and strafing to which you were subjected. Placed in service record on March 16, 1942. J. F. Wegforth, Commander, U. S. Navy. From: Commanding Officer To: Boltrukiewicz, Edward J., 201 72 75, sea2c., USN Subject: Commendation for Service During the Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor, Territory of Hawaii, December 7, 1941. Enclosure: (A) Citation (2 copies herewith). 1. The Commanding Officer commends you for your gallant services to the Navy and your country on the occasion of the dastardly Japan- ese attack on Pearl Harbor, Territory of Hawaii, on December 7, 1941. The citation herewith will be a permanent part of your service record. J. M. Shoemaker The following letter was received by the Alumni Editor several months ago from John Saluski, who graduated from M.H.S. in 1935. At the time the letter was written the writer was in far-off Iceland. We think that the dis- closure of his whereabouts will not give com- fort and aid to the enemy now. Life in the Navy I went into training at Newport, R. I., on IVlarch 23, 1941. (That’s where I got the basic training for seamanship.) Discipline is the main point. Yes sir, no sir, aye aye sir, and all with a snap. We were given an aptitude test to see what we were qualified to do. I was chosen for the hospital corps and was sent across country to the Naval Hospital, San Diego, California, for further training. I spent six months there, then I was sent across country to the Naval Hospital, Chelsea, Mass. I worked in the Surgical Dressing Room there and also in the operating room for four months. Then I got transferred to the Torpedo Station, Newport, Rhode Island. 1 worked in the record office there and also on a diving boat. I spent one year and nine months at Newport. Then I was sent to Parris Island, S.C., for duty with the Marines. The Marine Corps has no IVIedical Dept., so the Navy supplies the medical aid. After about six months at Parris Island, S. C., I was shipped to Iceland where I am at present sta- tioned with the Marines. I can wear either a Navy or a Marine Corps uniform, but I pre- fer the gob’s uniform as I enlisted in the Navy. Believe it or not the only sea duty I have done is the trip from Charleston, S. C. to Reykjavik, Iceland; yet I joined the Navy. I’m a dry land sailor, I guess, but I’ve seen mv share of the world and have had all the excite- ment I wanted. In conclusion, all I can say is I’m just count- ing the days ’til I can set my feet on good old U. S. A. again. John Saluski {Continued on page 36 ) The Argus — Gardner High, Gardner For variety your magazine rates A-1. More power to you. Hi Life — Your boy friend talks too much. He rattles like a flivver.

Teacher: “Well, Miss Greenaway, what do you like ?” Bernice: “Wolves.” The Stylus — Northboro High, Northboro Your fashion page is tops. As a matter of fact, your whole magazine is an excellent ex- ample of co-operation and work.

The boys, who had been picked for captains, were called together by Mr. Sawyer to choose teams. The season rolled along with its usual thrills, as it does every year. Nobody seemed to be able to stop Dudzinski’s team, with Dan and Bill Morrill making most of the points for their team. The two teams that came closest to upsetting Danny’s boys were Johnston’s and Lyon’s. Johnston’s team went along well with such boys as Baker, Kugima, and Greeno sinking them from all angles. Lyon’s team tied these boys for second place in the final standing of the teams. His team gave much trouble to Dudzinski’s with Flaherty, the tall boy, scoring most of the points. Tiie other two teams, led by Crowley and LeSage, took their beatings, and tied for last place.

It took the Egyptians seven hundred years to build them. A. Greeno: “It must have been a W.P.A. job.” When Crowley was in the hospital the doctor approached him and said, “I have brought you a Red Cross nurse.” “Take her back,” said Crowley, “and bring me one that’s blonde and cheerful.” 1 A group of soldiers were escorting two fel- lows to their position before the firing squad, and it was a very rainy day.
