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.

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.

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.
