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.

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.

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.
