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. ;

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.

20 THE SCREECH OWL Leonard Kaplan Senior Valentine Dance Committee 4; Intramural Basketball 4; Aviation Club 3; Dramatic Club 2, 3; Senior Chorus 4. Perhaps one of the greatest business men of the future will be our classmate, Leonard, for he is attending the College of Business Administration at Boston University. We are sure that he will make a good one, as he indeed has all the qualities which go to make a good businessman: honesty, good judgment, and a remarkable personality. Edward Karpeichik Football 1, Track 2; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Dance Committees 4; Senior Chorus 4. “Karp” is one of the quiet and mysterious boys of the class. His popularity is known throughout the school, especially at Senior Class meetings. He has a certain someone in Clinton and many are still trying to find out who it is. Best of luck for your life in the service. Esther King Social Committees 1, 2, 3, 4; Senior Activities Committee 4; Vice-President 3; Ring Committee 3; Radio Club 1; Junior Prom Committee 3; Senior Chorus 4; Picture Committee 4; Class Night Speaker 4. Esther is a tall, terrific red-head. Wherever you see “Red,” you will also see a large number of the opposite sex. Her ambi- tion is to be a secretary, but we’re afraid she’ll upset the whole office routine for a month the day she is hired. Her personality and sense of humor will never be out of place. All kidding aside, lots of luck, Esther. Howard King “Sailing, sailing over the Bounding Main.” Call him “Coogie,” “Kingie,” or “Knifer,” he’s a swell guy. We’re sure that the Navy got the best of the deal. He may not have been six feet tall, but he had a lot more fun than some of our so-called “Romeos.” We’re sorry we couldn’t get a list of his countless ac- tivities. Sirkka Koskinen Class Vice President 1, 4; Class Secretary 2; Field Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 1, 2; Junior Women’s Club 2, 3, 4; Screech Owl 4; All Social Committees 1, 2, 4; Senior Activities Commit- tees 4; Senior Chorus 4; Picture Committee 4; Graduation Honor Speaker 4. This tall, slim girl has a medley of qualities and, in the bargain, is a distractingly blond young lady. Into the mixing pot were thrown determination, ambition, co-operativeness, the aforesaid blond hair, gaiety, argumentativeness, perseverence, studiousness, but, instead of the compound, out bubbled Sirkka. She has her eye on the title of R. N., but if you question her, you find she has another eye — only this one’s on a prefix.
