22 THE SCREECH OWL Kaarin Lilja Social Committee 4; Screech Owl 4; Senior Chorus 4; Graduation Honor Speaker 4. “LiLs’’ ready wit has made her a popular member of the commercial class. She has changed quite a bit from the quiet and serious girl she was on first entering Maynard High. With her winning personality and ability she would be a good secretary, but her interests seem to be elsewhere. We all wonder why she is interested in mechanics (? ?) At present, though, she is a clerk at Arthur’s Store, and he is very “Gladky” to have such an efficient helper. Zena Loiko Senior Chorus 4. There is a bit of mystery surrounding Zena and few have been able to penetrate it. However, her closest friends assure us that she makes a most pleasant companion. Her ambition is still unknown. Many wishes for success are mingled with our good- byes. Patricia Louka Field Hockey 2, 3, 4; Cheer Leader 2, 3, 4; Head Cheer Leader 4; Screech Owl 4; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club Vice President 3; “Meet the Family” 2; “Wurzel-Flummery” 4; Junior Women’s Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Junior Women’s Club President 4; May- nard Women’s Club Honorary Membership Award 4; Daughters of the Revolution Good Citizenship Award; Junior Prom Com- mittee 3; Junior Ring Committee 3; Senior Picture Committee 4; Senior Activities Committee 4; Senior Chorus 4; Social Commit- tees 3, 4; Graduation Speaker 4. Dependable, Desirable, Definite, and De-lovely — all describe Pat. Her accompishments throughout her high school career have been many, and we are confident that her success will come quickly. The class of ’44 will ever be proud of Pat. Harold Lyons Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Co-Captain 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class President 2; Class Treasurer 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Senior Activities 4; All Social Committees 1, 2, 3, 4; Student Council 2; Picture Committee 4; Senior Chorus 4; A. A. Dance Committees 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Night Speaker 4. “Chick” is going into the Army Air Corps after graduation, and we know he will be an outstanding pilot! His bowling is something to write home about — and he had very excellent man- agerial qualities. His performance on the gridiron and basketball court also show a fine example of leadership. Doris McIntosh Social Committee 4; Senior Chorus 4; Screech Owl Staff 4. “Dot” or “Irish,” the younger of the two McIntosh sisters, is about the most pleasant person we know. She is never too busy to help a friend. Tall and decidedly brunette, she makes herself most popular, especially at the Acton dances. We wish her the best of luck in her ambition to be one of Uncle Sam’s Cadet Nurses.

THE SCREECH O V( ' E 21 Helmi Kulmala Social Committee 4; Screech Owl 2, 3, 4; Junior Women’s Club 2, 3, 4; Picture Committee 4; Senior Chorus 4; Graduation Honor Speaker 4. This little lady may be small in size, but judging from her entire school record she has a large mental capacity. Not a single mark lower than an “A” has stained her record! A won- derful start for a successful commercial career unless a certain soldier down Africa way changes her mind. Mary Lawler Social Committees 2, 3, 4; Field Hockey Team 1, 2, 3, 4; Captain of Team 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3; Dramatic Club 4; Screech Owl 4; Junior Women’s Club 3, 4; Cheer Leader 3, 4; Senior Activities Committee 4; Senior Chorus 4. Give a big cheer for Mel, whose ambition is to becorne an angel of mercy. We’re not sure about the angel part, but mercy will certainly be needed for her patients — ’cause we know she will keep them in “stitches.” Best of luck to a future Florence Night- ingale from the class of ’44. Edward Ledgard Class President 4; Football 3, 4; Track 2; Basketball 3, 4; Radio Club 1, 2, 3; Aviation Club 3; Student Council 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Picture Committee 4; Dance Committee 4; Senior Activities Committee 4; Sen ior Chorus 4; A. A. Dance Committee 4; Graduation Honor Speaker 4. Eddie’s the president of our class, and Pm sure we couldn’t have picked a better one. In the gym or on the football field, he’ll hold his own against anyone. A good dancer, swimmer, and golfer, he’s a real sport. His chief interest seems to be up near the cemetery. Perhaps he knows a couple of corpses. What say, Ed? Milton Lehto Football 3, 4; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Baseball Captain 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Social Committees 2, 3, 4; Aviation Club; Craft Club; Senior Chorus 4. “Miller,” good looking, curly haired, is seemingly quiet but his friends know differently. His athletic abilities range far and wide, from a fast, hard-to-stop scat back to a top-notch outfielder. He hopes the airplane he’s going to fly some day doesn’t go as slow as his car. Keep going, “Miller,” ceiling unlimited. Arthur LeSage Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 1, 2, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class President 1; Class Treasurer 3; Screech Owl Staff 2, 3, 4; Social Committees 1, 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Ring Committee 3; Senior Activities Committees 4; Senior Picture Committee 4; Student Council 1, 2; Senior Chorus 4. Carefree “Lefty” is one of the hard working boys at the First National. His athletic abilities include being a first class end and a fancy first baseman. One of his interests is dancing, where he steps with the best. Keep the ball rolling, “Lefty,” you can’t fail.

THE SCREECH OWE 23 Hazel McIntosh Screech Owl Staff 4; Senior Chorus 4. The next time you pick up the phone, don’t be surprised if the voice that says, “Number, please,” is that of Hazel. You see, that’s her one ambition — to be a telephone operator. She surely has “The voice with a smile.” What has Woburn got that Maynard hasn’t? Well, Hazel, how about it? Barbara McLane Field Hockey 1, 2; Basketball 1, 2; Junior Women’s Club 2, 3, 4; Senior Chorus 4; Cheer Leader 2, 3. In the past few years many new customers have wandered into the Bell Shop, if only for the sight of Barbara’s beautiful smile. Just what lies behind it no one really knows, but rumor has it that the Coast Guard has a special place. Allan Maki Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 3, 4; Baseball 2; Track 1; Gym Exhibition 3; Code Club 2, 3; Craft Club 3; A. T. Tag Days 2; All Dance Committees 1, 2, 3, 4; Senior Chorus 4; Cooking Club 1; Senior Activities Committee 4. Just a glance at his activities and you realize that Mac hasn’t been sleeping for the last four years. He can be seen flying around in the Co-op truck almost any afternoon. Pokey Hall is one of his favorite haunts when he is not over in Acton at the State Guard. He certainly enlivened the physics class. Thomas Marcelonis Dramatic Club 1, 2; Social Committees 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 1, 4; Football 4. Tom, tall, suave, easy going, can be seen almost anytime strolling down Main Street with a cheery “How are ya?” on his lips. Many a hardy batter has quivered in his tracks when Marcy’s lanky figure loomed before him on the mound. Keep pitching, Marcy! Pauline Mark Junior Women’s Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 1, 2; Senior Chorus 4. Pauline is a mixture of gayety and modesty, which, of course, are displayed at the correct moments. Pauline’s future lies in the world of nursing, unless some sailor influences her to change it. Either way, we know she’ll make some one happy.
