22 THE SCREECH OWL Helen Mattson Cheer Leader (2), Jr. Women’s club (2), Junior Prom Committee (3), General Committee (4), Chorus (1, 2, 3, 4). Helen’s quiet unassuming manner has won her many a true friend. Helen is usually occupied in her spare time with a certain lad from Concord, but we wonder (now that Uncle Sam has called him to the front) just what Helen does with those few extra hours. Who knows, perhaps we will see Helen some day with the WAACS! Walter Moynihan Class President (1), All Dance Committees (1, 2), Student Council (1, 2, 3), Junior Prom Committee (3), Aviation Club (4), General Committee (4). “Walt” is a boy who has changed considerably since his Fresh- man days. In those days he preferred his books to girls. He has been “stepping out” lately, but we think girls can never take the place of those books. Richard Mulcahy Tall, blonde, quiet, and often blushing is Richard. Although he has only been with us a year and a half, he has proved himself a real friend to his classmates. He is now employed at F. W. Wool- worth’s, but he’ll probably be running for President in 1960 — against Roosevelt. Doris Newman Student Council (2, 3), Vice-President (4), Assistant Manager, Field Hockey (3), Manager (4), All Dance Committees (1, 2, 3, 4), Dra- matic Club (3), Junior Prom Committee (3), Junior Women’s Club, Program Committee (2), Program Committee, Chairman (3, 4), Screech Owl (2, 4), Picture Committee (4), Class Prophecy (4), Class Secretary (4). Doris, one of the prettiest girls of the class, is known for her cheery smile and pleasing personality. She has already taken her first step to success by securing a position with the W. A. Freeman Company. If worse comes to worst, she’d certainly make a nice plumber. As a matter of fact, business will be booming! Marie Olsen Field Hockey (1), Basketball (1), Class Secretary (2), Ring Com- mittee (3), Vice-President of Class (3, 4), Junior Prom Committee (3), Picture Committee (4), Chorus (4), All Dance Committees (2, 3, 4), General Committee (4). As the above activities prove just how popular this blonde and blue-eyed lassie is, need we say any more ? Although she does appear very quiet in school, we understand that she is quite the opposite outside.

THE SCREECH OWL 21 Luca Luhaink “Luke” is a great hunter and fisherman. He has been seen angling for many a trout in one of the neighboring towns. Maybe it’s the climate near Christofsen’s or the trout, but at any rate he brings home beauties (two kinds). Carl Maki Carlo is one of the Seniors soon to be wearing khaki. Although he is quiet in school, his spare moments are taken by a certain girl not residing in Maynard — yet. Mildred Maki Junior Women’s Club (1, 2, 3, 4), Graduation Speaker (4), Screech Owl (4), Senior Girls’ Chorus (4). Here we have one of the most intelligent students in the class. Mildred is quiet, but very capable, as many Seniors can tell you. We are certain that in the days to come Maynard High will be proud to claim her as an alumna. Nellie Maki Basketball (1), Senior Girls’ Chorus (4). Nellie is a quiet, reserved girl in school, but enjoys trips to Devens. She hopes to be an artist, so don’t be surprised if you see her masterpieces in the museums some day. Mildred Mallinson Dramatic Club (4), Senior Girls’ Chorus. “Mil” is the ambitious type. She has already tried to obtain a position as a secretary. “Mil” is well-liked by her classmates and especially by a chap who hails from Gleasondale. His name couldn’t be Charlie by any chance, or could it?

THE SCREECH OWL 23 Mary Pyszka Senior Girls’ Chorus. Ah, here is the girl with the musical fingers, who can make the old M. H. S. Auditorium rock on its foundation while she entertains during an assembly. Though she has shown her ability to do com- mercial work, her real ambition is to go to New York Conservatory of Music. Your persistence and determination, Mary, are indications of future success. Ellen Quinn Junior Women’s Club (3, 4), Senior Girls’ Chorus (4). Ellen has a certain aura of mystery surrounding her, through which very few have been able to penetrate. However, those who know her well assure you that she makes a pleasant companion. Just one look at her picture proves that. We wonder what is be- hind that smile. James Richardson Football (3), Baseball (3), Basketball (2, 3, 4), Student Council (1), All Dance Committees (1, 2, 3, 4), Class Treasurer (3), Junior Prom Committee (3), Ring Committee (3), Picture Committee (4), General Committee (4). The “General” is one of the most popular boys in school. Aside from studying, Jim spends most of his time on Great Road. He can be very serious when he wants to, but why should he want to ? Peter Salamone Picture Committee (4), Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4). “Pete” is known to his classmates as the jazzin’ jiver boy. He is not only talented in playing the clarinet, but he is also a fine basketball player. “Pete” will always be remembered as the “Romeo” of the shorthand class. Niilo Salmi Niilo is tall, blonde, and easy on the eyes. All the girls are trying to persade their mothers to trade at the Co-op so that they may see Niilo more often. He is one of the Co-op’s super salesmen and also a truckdriver. Keep on the right and under 30. We’ll be seeing a lot of you, Niilo.
