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.

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.

24 THE SCREECH 0 X L Leita Mason Senior Chorus 4. Leita is one of our quiet classmates, but her pleasant per- sonality and friendliness has won for her many friends. At present she is employed as a window-designer at Woolworth’s, but her ambition is to attend Wilfred Academy to study hairdressing. Her evenings are “engaged” with Johnny and in skating and bowling. Barbara Murphy Social Committees 1, 2, 3, 4; Student Council 1; Class Treasurer 1, Field Hockey 1, 2; Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club Vice- President 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Basketball 2, 3; Senior Chorus; Ring Committee 3. “Red” is the sales boon down at Anderson’s. She’s one of the most independent, happy-go-lucky girls in M. H. S. “Murph” is always ready to laugh with everyone, and her own humor and wit draw all the kids to her. George Novick Football 1, 2, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 4; Class Treasurer 2; Dance Committees 1, 2, 3, 4; Senior Activities Committee 4; Senior Chorus 4; Tag Day 2; A. A. Social Committees 1, 2, 4. “Nick” is one of the best-natured boys in our class. His dynamic personality rates high among his fellow classmates, who classify him as another Sinatra. His captivating smile makes him many friends. Peter Oskirka Social Committee 4; Senior Chorus 4. Pete, one of the shop boys, is a member of the State Guard. We’re sure that if this country is attacked, he will not be slow on the draw. He was also an intra-mural sharpshooter. An able hunter and trapper, Pete will aways manage to get along. Ruth Pekkala Social Committee 4; Field Hockey 1; Dramatic Club 1, 2; Senior Chorus 4; Junior Women’s Club 2, 3, 4; Screech Owl 4; Class Night Speaker 4. “It’s a wonderful world!” sings gay Ruthy as she floats blissfully along life’s merry way. Under all her gayety, however, there is a very sober side, a glimpse of which even her most intimate friends seldom see. Surely everyone agrees that any patient under her wing need never suffer loneliness or boredom.
