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.

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.

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.
