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.

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 !

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.
