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 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

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.
