26 THE SCREECH OWL Joan Weir Field Hockey (1, 2), Student Council (2), All Social Committees (1, 2, 3), Junior Prom Committee (3), Picture Committee (4), Gradua- tion Speaker (4), Junior Women’s Club (3, 4), Dramatic Club (2), Senior Girls’ Chorus (4). Joan is one of the few girls who ever tackled such subjects as chemistry and physics and really knew what they were all about. She has served on many committees and is well liked by all. At present she is employed at Newberry’s, but her ambition is to be- come a dietitian. Marilyn Whalen Senior Girls’ Chorus. Smile and be happy, that’s Marilyn’s motto. You’ll never make a mistake if you follow that rule, we can assure you. For four years now Marilyn has enjoyed a reputation for good humor. Maybe she’ll give us a tip on how to win friends also. Virginia Whitney Field Hockey (2, 3, 4), Senior Girls’ Chorus (4). Virginia, or “Dickie” as she is called by her intimate friends, is another of the quiet members of the class. She is very good in her studies and excels also in such sports as field hockey, skiing, skating, and swimming. Her ambition is to become a nurse, and we are certain that she will make a good one. Sylvia Williams Class Secretary (3), Junior Prom Committee (3), All Dance Com- mittees (3), Senior Girls’ Chorus (4). Sylvi, who came to M. H. S. in her Junior year, is one of the nicest girls you can find. (Ask the U.S. Army). She plans to be a nurse, but at present spends her evenings “taking care of chil- dren.” Joseph Woitiewicz Class President (4), Dance Committees (3, 4), Track (1), Picture Committees (4), General Committee (4), Junior Prom Committee (3). Joe’s ideas are up in the clouds. He plans to take up aero- nautical engineering, but he still has plenty of time to devote to the fairer sex.

f THE SCREECH OWL 25 Dorothea Spurrell Senior Girls’ Chorus. Dottie, like “Mare”, never discusses her private problems, but her main interests seem to be over at the Thursday night dances in Acton. Nice people also come from Woburn, she claims. Mary Spurrell Senior Girls’ Chorus. Mary, better known as “Mare,” is somewhat on the witty side, but despite this fact, she seldom reveals any of her personal affairs. We do know, however, that her chief interest lies in the army. You’d make a nice homemaker, “Mare.” Edwin Taylor Ed came to us in the middle of our Sophomore year, so we don’t know too much about him. His cheerful disposition and willingness to help others have made him many friends here. Kenneth Tucker Baseball (1), Dance Committee (1, 2, 3, 4), Junior Prom Committee (3), Student Council (4), Picture Committee (4), General Com- mittee (4). Ken is tall and terrific! He is one of the most popular boys of the class, as you can see by his activities. At present he is deeply interested in the Freshman Class. Just watch the way he “Spence” his time ! Laura Wasiuk Basketball (1, 2, 3), Class Treasurer (2), Social Committees (1, 2, 3, 4), Cheer Leader (3), Junior Prom Committee (3), Ring Com- mittee (3), Junior Women’s Club (3, 4), Dramatic Club (3, 4), Pic- ture Committee (4), Screech Owl (3), Assistant Editor (4), Class Gifts (4), General Committee (4), Girls’ Special Chorus (4). Laura, as you can see above, is one of the most popular girls in the class. She plans to make dental nursing a career, and we are willing to bet that a certain Junior will visit his dentist more than twice a year if Laura is the assistant.

THE SCREECH OWL 27 Miss Ruth Wilson To Miss Wilson, the Class of ’43 extends its thanks in apprecia- tion for all that she has done for us. During the past four years she has always been ready and willing to help us with all our prob- lems. Her many kindnesses are never to be forgotten, and we thank her from the bottom of our hearts. James Rodway Jim is the dark, suave type, who makes a certain heart flutter. He should devote more of his time to her rather than working at White’s Diner. He is a 1-A cook and 1-A in the draft, so neither the diner nor the girl will see Jim much longer. In the Service Glenn Dowen Glenn, now an army private, is one of the best-liked boys in the class. We’ll never forget him in bookkeeping and secretarial training class. If you progress as rapidly in the army, Glenn, we are almost positive that you will soon be a general. We, the class of ’43, wish you all the luck in the world, and we hope we’ll meet you again soon. Victor Kizik The class of ’43 will always remember Vic, who was one of its most popular members. President of his class and co-captain of football, he left many friends behind him who send him their best. William O’Connell Bill, like many other boys of the Senior Class, is patriotic, for he enlisted in the navy during his Junior year. We didn’t like to see him go, but when it’s a loss for us and a gain for Uncle Sam there’s no complaining. The class of ’43 wish you every success in the navy, Bill. Here’s hoping we meet you and the rest of our boys very soon.
