18 THE SCREECH 0 i ' L Joseph Dutkowski Social Committee 3, 4; Basketball 1, 4; Dramatic Club 1; Craft Club 1, 2, 3; 4-H Club 1; Track 2; Hobby Nobby Club 1; Gym Exhibition 3; Senior Chorus 4; Screech Owl Staff 4. Joe’s one of the easiest kids in the senior class to get along with, and his witty sayings will be long remembered. He is one of our sportsmen and is very much interested in guns. Joe’s going into the Navy. Joe is also one of our home defenders over in Acton. During the summer he can be seen whizzing around the floor up at Lake Boone. Keep rolling, Dut. Shirley Garlick Junior Women’s Club 2, 3, 4; Senior Chorus 4. Since Shirley is the mystery woman of the Senior Class, little can be said about her, but the bit that is known is favorable. The quality of her lunches is well-known, and not many senior boys can deny that the reason they hurry to a certain room in M. H. S. at recess is to enjoy a sandwich. Her ability in the classrooms (especially in chemistry) could easily make her a career woman, but for the distracting existence of a certain friend “Nickie.” Helen Girdziewski Social Committees 1, 2, 3, 4; Student Council 1; Field Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; Captain of the Second Team 3; Basketball 1, 2; Senior Chorus 4; Junior Women’s Club 3, 4; Screech Owl, Blond and blushing, — yet spirited, that’s Helen. Wouldn’t we all like to waltz around the floor with this smooth dancer! Her immediate ambition is to become a secretary. What a lovely decoration she’ll make for any office! What a lovely secretary she’ll make for any boss! Natalie Goodwin Social Committee 4; Student Council 4; Student Council Social Committee 4; Senior Activities Committee 4; Senior Chorus 4; Screech Owl 4. What’s behind those sparkling brown eyes? Friendliness, sweetness, and certainly ability. All who know Nat have come under the spell of those dark eyes and that pleasing personality. Lucky be the boss who holds her to a contract. Maxwell Gruber All Social Committees 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Co-captain 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 1; Senior Activities Committee 4; Screech Owl 1; Aviation Club 2; Senior Hops 4; Senior Chorus 4; Athletic Association Tag Day 2; Athletic Association Dance Com- mittees 1, 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Ring Committee 3; Gym exhibition 4; Track Manager 2. Athletic, sociable, polite, and cooperative, those are the adjectives that best describe “Maxie.” He will undoubtedly make a fine midshipman at the Massachusetts Naval Academy, where he plans to go.

THE SCREECH O X ' I. 17 Anne Chodnicky Screech Owl Club 3, 4; Assistant Editor 4; Dramatic Club 4; Senior Chorus 4; Girls’ Glee Club 4. Ann, the journalist? Ann, the actress? Which will it be? Judging from the many poems and stories she has written for our enjoyment and her stage performances, either choice would insure her success. Surely the school of journalism or dramatics will gain a valuable addition in clever Anne. Mary Cutaia Senior Chorus 4. Courteous Mary is the quietest girl in our class. Any study period will find her bent over her studies, drinking in all the knowledge possible. Hard work pays big dividends, Mary, and you will do all right for yourself. Helen D’Amico Social Committee 4; Screech Owl 4; Senior Choiais 4, Whenever you hear a contagious giggle running up and down the scale, you’ll know this tiny bit of humanity (?) is around. Her favorite pastime in school is making up excuses and alibis, and outside of school she spends her afternoons causing all the “shrinkage” at J. J’s. Mice’s keen sense of humor and friend- liness make her so well liked by all. Jennie Denisewich Class Secretary 2; Field Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2; Jr. Women’s Club 2, 3, 4; Social Committees 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Sunlight Hop Committees 4; Screech Owl 4; Senior Girls’ Chorus 4. Jennie is a quiet, unobstrusive young lady whose very silence carries weight. Jennie’s going to be a Cadet Nurse, and we’re sure that this is one uniform the boys will really enjoy whist- ling at. Eleanor Dimery Dramatic Club 1, 2; Junior Women’s Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Art Club 1; Field Hockey 1, 2; Basketball 1, 2; Cheerleader 1, 2, 3; Screech Owl 2, 3, 4; Freshman-Sophomore Social 2; Class Secretary 3; All Social Committees 3; Ring Committee 3; Junior Prom Com- mittee 3; Senior Autumn Social 4; Student Council (Secretary) 4; Senior Activities Committee 4; Senior Chorus 4. “Dim,” as she is known to her friends, is one of the more quiet (?) members of our Senior clan. In the future she will undoubtedly cheer the patients at St. Elizabeth’s as much as she has the customers at Manning’s Pharmacy.

THE SCREECH OWL 10 Stanley Hajduk Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 3, 4; Social Committees 4; Senior Chorus 4. Stanley, or “Ace,’’ as he is known among his friends, is another of the quiet members of the class. His cheerful disposi- tion and congenial manner are always shown wherever you may find him. His ambition is to dictate the peace terms in Tokyo. Ann Hamlin Field Hockey Team 1, 2, 3, 4; Captain of Second Hockey Team 2; Basketball 1, 2; Student Council 1, 2, 3; J unior Women’s Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Junior Women’s Club Vice President 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Class Ring Committee 3; Senior Activities Com- mittee 4; Screech Owl 4; Dramatic Club 1, 4; Hobby Knobby Club 1; Cheer Leader 2, 3, 4; Head Cheer Leader 3; Maynard Women’s Club Honorary Membership Award 4; Prize in Treasury Department Contest 3; Senior Chorus 4; Social Committees 1, 2, 3, 4; Usher at Graduation 3; Graduation Speaker 4. Quality plus — that describes Ann. The high esteem with which all regard her is proof of her present popularity and future success. Not only the Senior Class respect Ann, for she also has a substantial sophomore following. Ah-men! Laurine Haskins Junior Women’s Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Senior Chorus 4. Penny is one of the class mystery girls. No one knows much about her activities, except that she reserves dates for a certain young army officer. Penn’s future is assured. She will take a position as time-keeper at Raytheon. We know she will make good. ? Fred Hekkala Craft Club 2; Social Committee 4; Senior Chorus 4. Fred’s one of the quiet boys of our class, but some of us have our doubts about those Canadian “Fishing Trips.” When he gets into the Army, no doubt he will be able to show the instructor a few tricks about rifles. Keep shooting, Fred. ; Roy Helander Social Committees 3, 4; Student Council 4; Boys’ Cooking Club 1; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Treasurer of Dramatic Club; “Meet the Family” 2; “Wurzel Flummery” 4; Screech Owl 2, 3, 4; Editor, Screech Owl 4; Orchestra 2, 3; Chorus Accompaniment 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Ring Committee 3; Class Night Speaker 4. “ . . . pictures need cutting,” “ .-. . we’re short, Roy,” “ . . . not until June 18,” are calls of distress which are directed mainly toward the “end man” of the Senior class. Roy has had to use unique prowess in solving the Screech OwVs problems, but the S. 0., in turn, has given him excellent training in patience for his future profession as a teacher. ;
