The National Honor Society Twice yearly the students who best represent the qualities of Scholarship, Leadership, Ch aracter, and Service are initiated into the Honor Society. The society began the year with four members and its new adviser, Miss Sawutz. In November five new members were added, Mary Labowicz, Marian Weir, Doris Sims, Minnie Toretsky, and Thomas Cocco. New members from the junior class will be initiated in May. The society attended a play in Boston on April 18 and has sold cards and wrapping paper to provide funds for its treasury. Student Council The Student Council of Maynard High had a very successful year with their officers, Thomas Cocco, President, Barbara Thumith, Vice-President, Bar- bara Castrilli, Secretary, and Bill Freeman, Treasurer. A Student Council handbook was started and we hope it will be continued by next year ' s Student Council. Our second project was a dance. Much hard work was put into this dance but it was well worth it, for I ' m sure everyone had a mo st enjoyable evening. We would like the Student Body to know that the Student Council is a most important organization and has taken on many small jobs as well as big ones. We hope that everyone realizes what a fine job the Student Council is trying to do. Barbara Castrilli, Secretary, ’51 ( 16 ) Junior Women’s Club JUNIOR WOMEN ' S CLUB P. O ' Clair, B. Manchester, G. Cuddy, E. Byrne, M. Labowicz The Junior Women’s Club of Maynard High School held their first meeting on ©ct. 11, 1950. The main attraction of this meeting was the initiation of the freshmen. The girls came in ridiculous clothing and were good sports about the whole thing. The second meeting of the Junior Women’s Club was held on November 15. After the business meet- ing a short play entitled When Young Ladies Meet was presented by the Juniors under the direction of Irene Mariani. The December meeting was held on 1st day of the month in the form of a dance. Smith ' s Orchestra provided the music. At the January meeting Mrs. Peterson of Burdett College spoke to us on personality. She pointed out things we do wrong that most of us never realized. On behalf of the members of the Club I wish to thank Miss Marsden for her splendid supervision and our officers, Barbara Manchester, President, Pat O’Clair, Vice-President, Gert Cuddy, Secretary, Eliza- beth Byrne, Treasurer, Mary Labowicz, Chairman of the Program Committee and her committee mem- bers Barbara Thumith, Irene Mariani, and Barbara Krysienel. This year marked the 10th anniversary of the Junior Women’s Club. Several past presidents were present at the May Supper or sent greetings to the club. Mrs. Mary Carr Baker, w-ho spoke at one of the first meetings, was guest speaker. Miss Butterworth the first adviser, was also present. Barbara Manches- ter read a history of the organization, mentioning the early skating parties at the cemetery pond, the fashion sho vs, theatre parties, the growth of the an- nual dance which was once a 7-10 affair with records and has now grown into an 8-11 dance with an or- chestra. We are proud of Junior Women’s Club and its 10 years of activity!

( 19 ) Editorials Make It Count You get out of school only what you put into it,” is an expression that you may have heard repeated many times by your teachers and parents. If you are one who sits back and lets the other person do all the work, then school is going to be a long distasteful four years. Yes, it may sound strange to hear that work can be enjoyable, but those students who are taking part in sports, helping out on dance commit- tees, and writing for the school magazine are doing things that they will remember for many years to come. They’ll tell you how fast that football season comes and goes when you’re out there practicing every afternoon, or how much more exciting that Prom is when you can look around and say, I helped with decorations and ticket sales,” or how proud you feel when the Screech Owl comes out and you find your name and graduating year under one of the articles or stories. High school doesn’t have to be the difficult place that so many make it, but can be turned into a won- derful institution of knowledge and enjoyment. Take the attitude that these four years are to be the best of your life, for no matter where you go after grad- uation you never have the opportunities for so many pleasures as you have now. Your high school days are ones that you should look back on with both pride and pleasure. Make them that by getting into the swing and doing your part. Start now! Go out for that team, join and work for one of the school’s clubs and organizations, help sell tickets or make decorations, or sit down and write something for the school paper. Don’t be left out. Make your school years your best years. Frank Sotrines, ’51 Education in the World of Today The education that is being received by the boys and girls in school today will determine the world of tomorrow. But just what is an education?” may be the question asked. Webster defines it as a discipline of the mind or character through study or instruction. The ultimate purpose of an education is to give the student a better understanding of the world in which he is living and of his fellow men. Social influences are strongly revealed in many high schools, colleges, and universities. There is a decided trend among many students to regard the social attraction of a col- lege or university as of more importance than the op- portunity it presents for acquiring scholarship. Study is often an obligation undertaken only as a condition precedent to their being able to participate in recrea- tional activities and other diversions. The morale in many colleges and universities is dominated by the senior class rather than by the faculty. This group of students determines the standards that inspire competition. It seems that scholarship does not in itself command high esteem, but must be joined with social prominence or per- sonal popularity, with the important addition of active participation in athletics and other undergraduate pur- suits. Very few students become distinguished both in scholarship and in sports. But, in spite of this, while students do not gen- eraly count scholastic distinction as the chief end of a high school, college or university career, their influ- ence on one another in their social activities is an im- portant factor in character development. This may be considered as compensation for their lack of interest in learning for itself. Since the ultimate goal of our modern schools is not scholarship alone, but a better understanding of one’s fellow men, our education is giving us this character background. Can you think of a better way of learning than through seeing? Bonnie-Lee Smith, ’52 How Does Communism Affect Us? Often when we think of communism, we think of Russia. There are communists in this country, too, and they affect us. Our country is dangerously infil- trated with communists. These people aren’t just a peaceful political party with different ideals ; they are people who wish to upset our government. One reason why communists are a menace is their precept of using force if necessary to overthrow a government. Many may disavow this purpose, but it is written clearly in some of the prominent writings ( 20 ) of communist Russia. These writings are the founda- tion for communism and are studied by communists everywhere. The principles of communism, as ex- plained in them, cover the way the communists gov- ernment should work and the use of force to gain control of other government. But,” many say, how do these apply to American communists. Aren’t they peace-loving American citizens?” No, for the most part these people are in sympathy with the Russian ideals and government, and will sabotage our defense to help that government. American communists have many plans for doing us harm from the inside. They may become especially dangerous if they receive a secret government job. American communists work hard. They control many organizations, not by being a majority, but by being present at every meeting and always voting. They try hard to persuade other people to their view- point. Some of these people wish to back out after they have learned how communism works, but they are caught in the web Communists of Russia threaten us with war. As the situation stands now, there is little chance of any- thing but war with Russia. No matter how black things look, however, nothing is hopeless. This sit- uation is very similar to checkers. One side seems to have lost the game. All is dark on the horizon, but one false move of the opponent who didn’t clearly see a full picture of the circumstance, and the former side is winning. The communists in Russia are few compared with the non-communists. All the poor people are anti- communistic because they have seen what communism has done to them, — ground them into the dirt. So, although it looks as if w r e must have a w-ar with Rus- sia, we can say that we have allies in many countries, including possibly, the anti-communists of Russia, if they have a chance to revolt. One way to defeat the communists is by an active support of our government. Work as hard as the communists do, and you are almost sure of victory, because people prefer the freedom we offer to the slavery of communism. Do You Have It? A friendly manner, a cheerful smile, the ability to make friends easily, good sportsmanship, all of these make up the foundation of that one word that means so much to everyone, personality. Every boy and girl of high school age wants to have a good personality. Why is it, you ask, that this one word means so much to so many teen-agers? Well, here is your answer. Good personality leads to the one thing we all dream about and that is being popular with the gang.” That’s about all every boy and girl w ' ants at this particular age. But personality is really doing more for you than just making you popular. It is building the foundation of your future no matter what it may be. You may be looking forward to nothing more than a happy married life. If this be your choice of a future, personality will help you to make more friends and to enjoy yourself more with them. Many more of you will be just ordinary clerks or will work in factories. Personality will enable you to get along better w ' ith the people you work w ' ith as well as your customers. You will have more of a chance to better yourselves as, more than likely, you will be the person who w ' ill increase sales, create a friendlier feeling between the employees and create better understanding between the employer and em- ployees. And then there are the chosen few who will really make good in this world. They will be our doctors, our lawyers, our teachers. They will be mingling with people at all times. Just think of what would hap- pen to these people if they didn’t have a good per- sonality. Would you like to go to a doctor who never smiled? Would you like to have a teacher who was always angry? No, of course you wouldn’t; and neither would anyone else. You should be able to see by these few points what personality means to each of us. So try to be friendly, cheerful, and a good sport and see how much hap- pier you can be. (21 ) Patricia Meister, ’52 Pat Wehkoja, ’52 Literary And Then Goodbye I guess I’d known him all my life, or at least as far back as I can remember. It wasn ' t one of those boy next door situations, although we had gone to the same school together. I can remember him in the first grade with half of his teeth missing, covered with freckles, and as fresh as could be. Not exactly fresh, daring was more the word. Even then, all the fellows used to swarm around him and look to him for leadership because of his bold courage, and that ' s how it remained. He was always the most popular boy, the best athlete, and the boys followed him around as if he were some sort of a god. As for the girls, any girl would give her right arm to go out with him just once, including me. He didn’t bother much with girls though. He was too interested in sports and keeping his grades up to passing level . . . until Martha came along. She came to our school in our senior year. It’s hard to describe Martha. She certainly wasn ' t the cute type, but she had a beauty that always seemed to re- mind me of a Grecian goddess: flawless skin, spark- ling green eyes, and features molded to perfection. Her hair was the color of a shiny new copper penny. She was like something out of a dream, one of those dreams where you never want to wake up. Right from the beginning he looked at her as I’d often wished he looked at me. It wasn’t long before Martha had him wrapped around her little finger and tied in a bow. She was supposed to be going steady with him but every once in a w’hile she’d get sick of him and start going out with someone new. He’d mope around like a lost dog, but she always came back to him after a week or a month and he’d be there waiting. Then we had our Christmas vacation. Two weeks of fun for most, but to me it was just two long weeks when I wouldn’t see him. But one night I met him on my way home from the drug store. He walked me home and told me how Martha was away visiting relatives over the holiday. He didn’t have to tell me she was away. I could tell just by looking at him. He had that sad, wistful look in his eyes and didn’t look anything like the happy-go-lucky boy he once used to be. I asked him in for hot chocolate that night but he said he had to go home and write a letter. And I knew that letter was to a beautiful girl who had hurt him more than once. Isn’t it odd that you can beat a dog, but if the dog loves you enough, all you have to do is speak a kind word or give him a friendly pat and he’ll come back for more. Time went by and school started in again. Every- one came back with renewed interest and all the stories of what they had done over the holidays; and Martha came back with an engagement ring that she had been given by some Romeo she had met. Have you ever had a tooth filled? The dentist keeps grinding and grinding with that needle. It hurts, but you don ' t say anything, you keep it in, until he hits the nerve, and then you holler. Martha had been drilling for a long time now, and she finally hit the nerve. He didn’t finish school, a boy with a good future, certainly college material, but instead he joined the navy. I saw him once before he left when he came over to say goodbye to the family. I walked outside with him that night when he left. I wanted so much to tell him all the things I had crowded up inside me but all I did was wish him luck. And then he was gone, and a part of my heart went with him. He turned around and waved when he got down by the street light but I wondered if he was waving to me, or to a girl with flawless skin, sparkling green eyes, perfect features, and hair the color of a copper penny, the kind of a girl you dream about until sleep overtakes you, like fog creeping over a city. . Barbara Thumith, ’52. Arise and Shine The time: 7:00 — any day of the week. Oh no! So soon? I just got to bed ! Still there’s that ringing noise in my head. Darn clock ! It’ll never break down, Though it’s the oldest contraption in town. I remember Miss Barre’s talk the day before, Concerning our last minute rush for the door, So I decided to arise and try my best, To make my appearance at eight with the rest. (22 ) The hands on the clock read five past the hour, Just forty-five minutes to take a shower, Also brush my teeth, find somethmg to wear, Get dressed, then do something with my hair. Now for the shower — fifteen minutes anyway, Thank goodness, that’s over with for today. What next? Now ' s the problem. What to wear! Let me see. The blue skirt ? No, that has a tear. The plaid skirt? But what blouse will I wear with it? No, not that. Better get something that will fit. I know ! I ' ll wear the dress with the green trimming, At least in that I won’t seem to be swimming. Okay, that’s settled. It must be late. Am I seeing things ? Not five of eight ? I’ll swallow my breakfast quick as a Hash, Now for the daily hundred-yard dash. I grab my books, run down the street. Believe it or not, I just made my seat; Right in time to hear the bell ; It s eight o’clock and all’s well ! Margaret Sweeney, ’54 The Orchid As John St. Clair, eminent and world famed ex- plorer-horticulturist rolled out of his cot on this long- awaited day one could easily see the look of anticipa- tion in his eyes. As usual he was covered from head to foot with grime, sweat, and mosquito bites. It was all because of his fanatical search for the black orchid.” For twenty-seven years he had gone through every jungle accessible to man. Now he was going to traipse through a completely unexplored region sit- uated on the Panama peninsula. All this he was going to do merely because a half civilized native had said he knew where such an orchid could be found. St. Clair called together his bearers and told them that the region they were going into had never be- fore been entered. His loyal and trustworthy bearers immediately set out. For many days and nights they hacked their way through underbrush that seemed to grow up behind them as fast as they cut it down. At night the cries of cockatoos, the roar of the jaguar, and screams of the red howler was too deafening to let one think. During the day the dank, musty, moisture-laden air almost suffocated them. The black orchid,” St. Clair’s life long goal, was at last found. Not just one, however, but a large field of them. Their scent was so sweet as to be sickening. St. Clair put some in a preservative and returned to civilization. He was acclaimed the world’s greatest explorer- horticulturist since Shamus Lee, the Irish explorer. John St. Clair did not bask long in this glory, though, for the orchids had turned pure white be- cause of the preservative. And as white orchids were common his tame soon turned to obscurity. His rise to glory lasted no longer than his orchids. William J. Pierce, ’52 The Reward Gail Conley was a pretty girl of 24. Her ambition was, and always had been, to be a great concert pianist. And now her goal was almost achieved. She had been studying for 16 years, 10 years with a piano teacher back home and 6 years at the Conservatory. Her first concert was to be in three days, Wednesday evening, May 21, 1945 at 8 o’clock. Tomorrow Gail was going into Boston. She was going to buy her shoes and dress for the great event, and she was also going to run up to Symphony Hall and go through her program for the last time. After she had finished her shopping tour and her practice session, she boarded the train for home. Gail was tired, but she was so happy, the weariness just didn’t seem to matter. She could hardly wait for Wednesday. How she had worked and longed for that day! How she had dreamed of it! All of a sudden the train began to sway back and forth and the next thing Gail knew she was in a bed. As she looked around she saw that she was in a hospital room. But since she experienced no pain, she didn’t have the slightest idea why. Just then a nurse bustled into the room. When she saw that Gail was conscious, she told her the story of what had happened. The train engineer had some- how lost control of the engine and they had crashed. Just about everyone aboard had been injured and taken to the hospital. Gail, it seems, had been found lying on the floor with her hands pinned under iron rods which had fallen amidst the confusion. She was injured on no other part of the body except for a few minor scratches on her forehead and chin. This was too much for Gail. She started to sob violently while the nurse was speaking. The nurse had expected this, and not knowing who Gail was, thought she was consoling her by saying, But just think, after the amputation, you’ll be able to do everything again.” Amputation!” screamed Gail. ( 23 ) Yes,” answered the nurse. There’s no other way out. If you want to live you’ll have to give up your hands. With your permission the operation will be performed tomorrow m orning at 10 o ' clock. As Gail listened, she realized just what the nurse meant. She’d never be able to play the piano again. All her hopes and dreams were fading out of sight. The only thing she ever really wanted and she couldn’t have it. Gail then grew hysterical. Between sobs she screamed at the top of her lungs. She yelled about how she hated the world and all the people in it, and most of all how she hated the person who had done this terrible thing to her. The nurse gave her some hypodermics to quiet her nerves and finally Gail dozed off. The next morning Gail woke early. She was rather woozy, but she was clear on one thing. She would go through with the operation but afterwards she would be very bitter about it and her new pastime would be to make life just as miserable as she could for every- one. The operation was successfully performed at 10 that morning and both of Gail’s hands were ampu- tated. Gail completely recovered consciousness at about 7:30 that evening. All she could think of was where she would be and what she would be doing that evening if nothing had happened. But no, she had to be in a hospital bed with nothing but stubs for hands. Her one consolation was that everyone who had planned to attend her debut would be feel- ing sorry for her. The next day Gail was allowed to receive visitors. Her mother and father came, but Gail made such bit- ter remarks to her mother that she went away in tears. For the next week she was allowed to walk around the hospital and hospital grounds for an hour a day. Once Gail went down to the main lounge. One of the nurses was in there playing a piece which Gail, too, had played. Just the sound of the instrument made her shiver and shake and she hastily left the room before she was noticed. In two weeks time, she received her new hands. The physical therapist fastened them on Gail and showed her how to do some exercises which Gail reluctantly practiced. Every morning the physical therapist showed her how to do something new, such as picking up a spoon, or holding a glass of water. But Gail didn’t try very hard. Her heart was like lead ; she was very melancholy. She wanted no part of these ugly claws which had disrupted her life. But the hands were so easy to operate that Gail couldn’t help learning. At the end of two months’ time, hav- ing learned everything the therapist could possibly teach her, Gail was discharged from the hospital. When she went home she felt useless. She longed to play the piano and sometimes she sat in front of it for hdurs crying. One day when no one was at home Gail sat down and started to pick out the scale with one finger. Her so-called claws got tangled up, but now she knew something. She still wanted to be a concert pianist. And now, conquering the piano with her new hands would be her ultimate goal. She practiced faithfully every day. At first with only one finger, then with one hand, and finally at the end of six months of hard work, Gail could play simple tunes with two hands. It was hard going, and sometimes Gail con- tinued to practice. She went from simple, to easy, to hard, and finally after three years of steady work she went into advanced music. She practiced for an- other year and a half and in November, 1949, she made an appointment to see if she could make her debut in 1950. Gail went to Symphony Hall, Boston, on Novem- ber 9th. The manager listened to her play. All through her audition wild thoughts rushed through Gail’s head. What if she didn’t make it? What would she do then ? What if he wouldn’t let her play because of her hands? When she had finished, she knew she had played well. But had it been well enough ? Soon she would know. The grey-haired man began to speak. First of all, he complimented Gail on her playing, and told her she had played bet- ter than he ever thought anyone with artificial hands could. He also said that he would be most happy and proud to have her make her debut in Symphony Hall. He set the date for Wednesday evening, May 21, 1951, at 8 o’clock, just five years after she had been originally scheduled to perform. The time passed quickly and soon May 21 arrived. Symphony Hall was packed and when Gail came out on the stage, the crowd went wild. They clapped and applauded until Gail herself silenced them. Gail then played her program and she was an astonishing suc- cess. The crowd whistled, shouted and threw flowers to the talented young pianist — a girl who hadn’t let a major thing like losing both hands stop her from attaining her ultimate goal. ( 24 ) Janice Morgan, ’52 The Mistake There was great excitement in the Brown ' s house- hold, because finally the long-awaited day had come, the day that Marie, the only child was to be married. Amid the tooting of horns, ringing of the tele- phone, and all the excitement, Mrs. Brown sat think- ing of all she had done to make this day the happiest one in her daughter’s life, and of the many hours she had spent shopping and preparing for this big occasion. Finally, when she couldn ' t wait any longer, she went up to her daughter’s room, expecting to see her dressed in her beautiful gown, but instead, as she entered the room, Marie was crying bitterly. Mrs. Brown tried to comfort her daughter, but it was useless, and amid her sobs she told her mother that on the way home from the hairdressers, she had seen Bob, her future husband, in a jewelry store with Helen, carefully placing a string of pearls about Helen’s neck. As Mrs. Brown was trying to explain to Marie that it must have been some kind of a mistake, the doorbell rang. It was the delivery boy with a pack- age for Marie. As she opened it a little card fell from the package which said, A string of precious gems to a more precious girl. With Love — Bob.” As she read this, tears came to her eyes, for she realized how foolish she had been in doubting Bob’s love for her. And as she walked down the aisle of the church, with her father, she glanced down at the beautiful string of pearls which hung about her neck and with much love in her heart joined Bob at the altar. Barbara Prosper, ’52 Problem of the Year Tis a nignt before midyears such as you’ve never seen— My desk is all cluttered, my complexion turned green. I’ve studied and crammed as never before, I can barely see, my eyes are so sore. Time is just flying, faster than ever, If I capture a C” I’ll think myself clever. It is already midnight, Mom is in bed. But me, I am studying. Oh ! My poor head ! ! Latin’s before me, my most dreaded test, B ut all I can do is to try my best. English is cinchy! (Or at least that’s my hope) . But to get through with Algebra I’ll have to take dope. ( Science frightens me, for I’ll never know What makes Mr. Lerer’s favorite bacteria grow. Or care about lenses, short, thick, or thin — (Don’t know which way I’m going or where I have been) . I’ve waited and waited till the very last moment, And now look, I’m in complete mental torment. Well! One o’clock! May as well turn in, Myself, plus my pencils, my books, and my pen. Otherwise tomorrow I’ll sleep through each test I take — Then I can imagine what a high mark I’d make! Sandra Stammers, ’54 Initiation The Brooks High School freshmen had tradition- ally been initiated ever since the days their parents had been students there. It was the first day of school and you know what that meant for fourteen year old Will Black, a fresh- man ! Every other morning Will had hurried through breakfast, so he’d get to school on time. This morn- ing, however, although he was just as late as ever, but a little more nervous, he ate so slowly that his mother almost called the doctor, fearing he was sick. After convincing his mother he was not sick, he ran upstairs to his room where he put on a disguise. He made a cute girl ! For once he appreciated his sister Judy. She had given him a dress and wig so he could go to school incognito, and avoid initiation! This disguise would have been perfect if he had only remembered to roll up his pants legs. They hung 21 2 inches below the dress. He ran to school feeling sure his identity was care- fully concealed, but he became very uneasy when the seniors snickered as he passed ! When he reached school he went in through the girls’ door, slipped through the corridor almost un- noticed, and managed to hide his disguise before any- one saw him at his locker. The fear of being recognized overcame him early in the morning, for he knew what they did to the timid, here at Brooks H. S. ! Will got home without the disguise, or should I say almost got home! When he reached his front walk. Red, the senior football hero, gave him a big smile and handed him the evening paper. Right on the front page of The News” was his picture! It was taken, evidently, just as he was entering school in 25 ) that terrible disguise. The picture, however, wasn’t half as shocking to him as what was printed under- neath it! The P.T.A. asked the co-operation of the seniors in the abolishment of the annual Freshman initiation. The seniors decided to start the Freshman-Senior re- lationship off by choosing a Queen of the Freshman Class. Since this new girl was first seen this morn- ing, we knew at once she would take the prize, so we took this picture of her entering school this morning! We also took the honor of presenting a wardrobe of Queen ' s dresses, to the sister of the winner, Judy Black. We are quite sure there isn’t a prettier queen in the freshman class, and we are also sure Will will never be mistaken for a she” again!” The Photographers of The News Will ripped the paper to tiny pieces, then sat down and tried to figure a way out of this, because he knew he’d never live it down. How Will wished he had been initiated! I mean, of course, the regular way. It might have hurt him, but at least he wouldn’t have been the talk of the town” for a week! Barbara Crottv, ’54 Youth and Popular Music Popular music is a vital part of the teenager ' s life. Although most adults think it is a waste of time and labor, if you stop to think about it, you will find out why the teenagers like it so well. Popular music will fit into the various moods of the teenagers and will also help him to express his feelings. Depending on the mood he is in, when a teenager picks a song on the jukebox, he has a choice of anything from a slow dreamy ballad to a lively tune with a jump beat. If he feels like celebrating, you can expect some loud, jumpy tune. If he has just had a fight with his favorite girls, you can expect some romantic song with a haunting melody. One reason why adults don’t like popular music is because it never lasts very long. A song that is pop- ular one week may be forgotten by the next. This is due to the teenager’s ever changing likes and dis- likes. Just as a fad lasts until the novelty is worn off, so popular music lasts until a new favorite is uncov- ered. Popular music is very cleverly put together. It is pleasing to the ear, and easy to listen to. There is a melody to suit every teenager’s taste. The beautiful lyrical ballads and the catchy novelty tunes are the works of artists in their field. ( 26 ) Listening to records, whether on the radio, the phonograph, or the jukebox, occupies a great deal of the teenager’s time. Popular music is an integral part of his education, as well as one of his favorite pas- times. Barbara Mitzcavitch, ’52 Our English Language Our English Language is wonderful, ’tis true, It’s spoken and written by quite a few. But sometimes it’s hard to understand, This language of ours, which is really so grand. Now wait just a minute and you will see, What I mean when I say, It’s like Greek to me.” A girl is often called a gal, But who would call a curl a cal ? A big boat is a battleship, But whose big coat is a cattleship ? A small house is a hut, Then why isn’t a small mouse a mut? Two or more louses are called lice, But who calls their blouses blice? The plural of tooth is teeth, Then why isn’t the plural of youth yeeth? A fancy name for mother is mater, But who calls their brother, brater? A young cow is a calf, But whose young plow is a plaf? A joke is sometimes known as a jest, Then why isn ' t a poke a pest? A dollar bill is called a buck, But who ever called a hill a huck? About these peculiarities, there’s nothing I can do, So I guess I’ll have to accept them as true, Our English is really wonderful, but don’t you agree That it should be simpler for people like you and me? Janice Morgan, ’52 Tippy Black and white and just pint size Sleek and slim with dark brown eyes, This priceless jewel I would not trade For all the money that was ever made. His pleading whine when sweets he sees Makes me give in instead of tease. Chasing cats is his delight Until the feline turns to fight. To school with me each day he walks — I only wish that he could talk! Priscilla Woodbury, ' 51 Slave Three minutes to two, juust two minutes to run from Acton Street to the noted company of J. J. New- berry’s on Main Street. As I pant along, I wonder if perhaps contracting a cardiac condition is worth $.50 an hour? Then on the other hand I think of the debts I have acquired that made me dream of prison bars before Mr. Newberry took me in to straighten hosiery, clean understock, unpack crockery, with much sneez- ing and coughing in the accompanying hay, and oc- casionally to ring up ten cents on the cash register. What a thrill ! Just inside the door, and there goes the clock strik- ing two. Now to achieve the miracle of getting my coat into the girls’ room without being seen by any- one. Holding my breath as I walk so as not to be heard exhaling, (I’ll tell you this is no easy job after running a quarter of a mile without stopping) , I make my dangerous way to the girls’ room. By the time I arrive there my face is in such a purplish hue that people are beginning to stare at me with quizzical looks. Standing at the further end of the store I bellow, I’m here, Catherine!” Of course, poor Catherine doesn’t know who I” is, so this results in quite a bit of screaming back and forth before the matter is unraveled. My day of slavery begins. First, I am stationed be- hind the candy counter, but after ten or fifteen min- utes of shoveling out confectionery to hungry people who have probably just come from some movie where the hero and the heroine starved to death for love, all this work being done under the watchful eyes of the manager, he decides that I am being altogether too generous with each order. Thus, I am ushered to the back of the store where the yard goods look as though five or six dogs had fought over them. A counter near it contains the toys. With everything arranged, I find myself with empty hands. My groping hands light on a yoyo, the art of which always dumbfounds me. Well, practice makes perfect! Involved in untangling myself from the yoyo, my attention is caught by a piping voice, the owner of which seems to be a grubby hand holding a little soldier. ' ' What the cost of this makes?” After a quick translation, calling on my past days of experience with children, I answer, It makes cost ten cents!” This intelligent conversation is interrupted by the appearance of a towering example of womanhood, who soundly applies her hand to the unseen b ody. An ear-splitting cry rocks the foundations of the build- ing as the screaming child is dragged through the imposing portals of the store. By now the hands of the old clock on the mill have crept up to four o’clock and I leave my cage on winged feet, running to make home for supper. Then to meet a barrage of baby carriages out for the warm air and of youngsters on bicycles on the sidewalk. (Where they shouldn’t be blocking my way). Promptly at three to five I rush out the door, as though I had been given a kick, and run all the way down town. Back again I arrive at J. J.’s, politely to sell socks of all kinds for the rest of the night, and even some ribbon to a woman who ordered me to measure it by wrapping it around her neck. At last it is nine and work is done for another day. With gay adieus to all, Marion, Bobbie, and I rush to Pizza House to get a hamburger to refresh our- selves. The hour of nine o’clock affects me as digitalis does a chronic invalid. Veronica Janulewicz, ’51 ( 27 ) Activities Career Talk On [anuary 11, 1951, Mrs. Ruth Fernandez, who is on the staff at Massachusetts General Hospital, ad- dressed a group of students at Maynard High School. She described very clearly the life of a student nurse and also explained the different phases of nurs- ing. Questions were answered for the girls at the end of her talk and Mrs. Fernandez stajed in the Guid- ance Room to talk with a few of the senior girls in- terested in entering training. Good Government Day Program On January 12, 1951 a program under the direc- tion of Mrs. Clair was presented in the auditorium. Thomas Cocco introduced to us Mr. Alfred Cene- della, Director of the Division of Law Enforcement, Conservation Department. He spoke of many differ- ent phases of the Conservation Department but put more emphasis on Conservation of Forests.

Doyle Superintendent of Schools America the Beautiful Girls’ Chorus Music was under the direction of Miss Eleanor Colburn. Career Talk JANUARY 22, 1951 Miss Marie Gearin, Director of Training at Lowell State Teacher’s College, spoke to students of the High School on the qualifications and training requirements for teaching. She discussed the different types of teaching and answered questions the students had concerning them. After her talk she and Miss Barre returned to the Guidance Room where Miss Gearin had conferences with several students. A. A. Dance JANUARY 31, 1951 The girls’ field hockey and basketball teams com- bined to run the Annual Athletic Association Dance. Everyone waited patiently for the announcement of the King and Queen of Maynard High School Sports and Court. Miss Mary Collins, girls’ coach, made the an- nouncement. The King was William Howes, the Queen, Angie Greeno, both seniors. The Court was chosen from the other three classes in the high school. Juniors — Andre Beshta, and Kay Higgins; Sopho- mores — Albie Alexanian and Lois Bain; Freshmen — - Lenny Masciarelli and Alice Boeske. February Assembly The assembly of February 16, 1951, was prepared by Miss Hogarty and the juniors, assisted by a few from the other classes. With Patricia Meister as Mistress of Ceremonies the program was: Introduction and Salute to the Flag Patricia Meister Proclamation Russell Manchester Events in February Barbara Manchester Piano Selection Janice Morgan and Patricia Dawson Lincoln Patricia Wehkoja Trumpet Solo Edward D’Amico Washington Barbara Prosper One Alone — Solo Helen King Patriotism Thomas Cocco Star Spangled Banner Entire Assembly Angie Greeno, ’51 Massachusetts Music Educators Association After arriving in Worcester about 9-15 A. M. on Thursday, February 15, we registered at the North School Gym. A short rehearsal followed at which ( 28 ) we met our conductor, John Raymond from Pennsyl- vania, who was formerly with Fred Waring’s Penn- sylvanians. Just before supper we sang some more and then after supper we returned to North High School for four more rehearsal hours. During our 3 day confer- ence in Worcester we stayed with a family who lived about 3 miles from the school. Friday we rehearsed in the morning and afternoon, after we learned that there was going to be a party and square dance that night at the Hotel Sheraton. We had a wonderful time and arrived back at Schopfer’s home about 12:00. Saturday morning we made records that were to be played over the radio on Sunday morning on a Wor- cester station. That evening before a large gathering of about 300 people, we gave our concert. The chorus was made up of about 500 high school students with Miss Alice Farnsworth of the Met- ropolitan Opera Company as soloist. The recordings could be ordered backstage after the concert. We arrived home about 11:00 P. M., tired, but full of memories of good fun, gl ad of the experience of rehearsing and singing with such a large group. Betty Duckworth, ’54 Barbara Burke, ’54 March Assembly With Carol Novick as Mistress of Ceremonies a very interesting program on events in March was planned. This year Easter came on March 25, so of course there was a very informative talk given by Mary Labowicz on the History of the Easter Egg. The program: Flag Salute Assembly The Symbol of the Flag Marian Weir Londonderry Air James Hansen West Point Richard Turner Aria from Romeo and Juliet Veronica Janulewicz Telephone Minnie Toretsky Nola Dominic Barbuto The History of the Easter Egg Tradition Mary Labowicz The Maynard High School Hymn closed this as- sembly which was under the direction of Miss Mary M. Shine. Superstition Hop It was Friday, April 13, 1951. Of course, anything could happen on Friday the thirteenth and almost everything did. The auditorium was decorated in yellow and black. The lights were adorned with yellow crepe paper with black designs giving the effect of ladders, with black ruffles on the bottom. Among the novelty dances there was a ladder dance and an elimination dance. For anyone who was really superstitious the ladder dance was a dance to stay out of because you had to dance under a ladder. The elimination dance was won by Robert Viola and Jane Novick. They were presented with a small sum of money. The following officers of the council, along with all other members, were in charge: President of Student Council — Thomas Cocco Vice-President — Barbara Thumith Secretary — Barbara Castrilli On April 18 the National Honor Society Members, Miss Barre, and Miss Sawutz, went into Boston to see Courtin’ Time,’’ a musical comedy starring Lloyd Nolan and Billie Wo rth. After the play we stopped at the Smith House for refreshments. Girls’ Sports Night The first annual Girls’ Sports Night Banquet was held in the George Washington Auditorium on Mon- day, April 23- All the girls who went out for either field hockey or basketball and the women teachers of the high school were invited to attend. A delicious luncheon, prepared by Miss Collins and a few of the girls, was served. After the supper a short entertain- ment was presented. Beverly Price was the Mistress of Ceremonies. The program was as follows: Piano Solo, To Think You’ve Chosen Me,” Nancy Bain; Basketball Quartet, Harbor Lights,” Georgia Hatch, Irene Mariani, Ann Spurrell, Barbara Thumith; Piano Solo, Sabre Dance,” Janice Morgan; Vocal Solo, May the Good Lord Bless and Keep You,” Loretta Iannnerelli. This was followed by community singing. After the singing, Miss Collins made the announce- ments which we were all waiting for — next year’s captains and the winners of the trophies. To the pleasure of everyone, Barbara Prosper and Irene Mariani were named next year’s Field Hockey Co- Captains. Irene was also elected Basketball Captain. Angie Greeno was awarded a trophy for outstanding VARIETY SHOW 1. J. Morgan, J. Gentsch, M. Salmi. 4. G. Hatch, F. Saarela. 2. J. Jokisaari, P. Murphy. 5. P. Stalker, J. Tomyl, B. Penniman, A.

( 30 ) ability in Field Hockey, and Captain Bobby Statkus was awarded a similar trophy for outstanding work in Basketball. These girls were rated not only on ability, but also on sportsmanship and character. After the awards a basketball game was pla) ed in the gymnasium between the Juniors and Sophomores. The Juniors upheld the tradition of their class by winning over the Sophomores. Bobby Statkus and Angie Greeno were the referees. This game brought .0 a very successful close the first annual Girls’ Sports Night. Many thanks to Miss Collins and all those girls who helped make it such ' an overwhelming suc- cess. Angie Greeno, ’51 M. H. S. Variety Show The third annual Maynard High School Variety Show was presented April 4th and 5th in the George Washington Auditorium, for the benefit of the Ath- letic Association. All the proceeds from the sales of tickets go toward the athletic program at M. H. S. The girls of the high school were asked to contribute fudge which was sold during the show. The money received from selling fudge goes toward new uni- forms for the cheerleaders. Mr. Mattioli, who was in charge of the show , had a difficult time trying to get the chorus at one re- hearsal. It seems they couldn’t all get together on the same night. The specialty acts were left pretty much on their own so the students took on the re- sponsibility of rehearsing their own acts. It wasn’t until the morning of the show that a real complete show was rehearsed. The show was put on before a full house both nights and many had to be turned away. Chuck DiGrappo and his orchestra contributed their services both evenings. Thomas Cocco was Master of Ceremonies for the third consecutive year. What will we do without you next year, Tommy? Of special interest was the humorous play, High School Daze,” which featured Carol Novick, Bar- bara Castrilli, Helen Stokes, Mary Labowicz, Paul Murphy, Thomas Cocco, and Henry Nowick. The most important person in the play, as Tommy said, was Marie Sawyer, the prompter. Mr. Lawson’s gym act was quite breathtaking. Many people had their hearts in their mouths as the boys went through their daring act. The skit, In My Merry Oldsmobile,” had many people reminiscing about the good old days.” In addition to her scheduled number Be My Love,” Loretta Iannerelli gave an encore entitled If” Veronica Janulewicz’s Italian Street Song” had to be sung twice to satisfy the capacity audience. The Ames Brothers” should be given credit for a fine performance even if something did happen to their record. All of the acts were presented by talented students who should take a bow for such fine per- formances. We must give credit to all those students who helped make the show a success in other ways: the stage hands, the ticket sellers, the usherettes, the girls who made fudge, and all those students who sold tickets. Thanks go to the faculty, too, for all their help. One of the highlights of Thursday night’s per- formance was the presentation of a gift from the cast to Mr. Mattioli. The gift, a present of apprecia- tion for all of Mr. Mattioli’s help was presented by Robert Larson.

Here we were Freshmen in Maynard High School and receiving our orders from Mr. Lerer, the prin- cipal, on the rules and regulations of M. H. S. stu- dents. Our journey had begun. October: Dear Diary: Like all Freshmen we looked forward to our first high school dance. Can we ever forget that Senior Dance and how the boys decided to sit and chat in- stead of dancing, leaving the poor girls as wall flowers? The next dance of this month changed everything as it was a Halloween Dance and every- one participated in the games and dancing. No one will ever forget the Cheerleaders trying to give a cheer with a mouthful of crackers. November: Dear Diary: November brought forth our first election of offi- cers. Those elected to class office were President Thomas Cocco, Vice-President Barbara Manchester, Treasurer William Howes, Secretary Barbara Cas- trilli, and our class adviser, Miss Ruth Wilson. With these leaders we all felt sure our class would go ahead but sure. December: Dear Diary: With the beginning of this month we visuailzed the coming vacation and all of us were bright and gay. Toward the middle of the month we could de- tect the Christmas Spirit as the halls of our school became a beautiful sight to behold with all the deco- rations and the students caroling throughout them. January: Dear Diary: On the twenty-ninth of this month we were fortu- nate to witness a very impressive ceremony, that of inducting members to the National Honor Society ' . This proved to be an incentive to everyone present ( as we all looked forward to the day when we too would be eligible for membership. February: Dear Diary: This month we ran a dance with the Sophomores and this meant we had a chance to show the upper classmen we could make some money too. We had Ted Phillip’s Orchestra and he was accompanied by his lovely vocalist, Lucille. To say the very least it was a huge success. We could really pat ourselves on the back. March: Dear Diary: After sleeping away most of our vacation, we re- turned to school full of vim and vigor. After about a week we settled down to the routine of school life. April: Dear Diary: We were all able to attend a very lively affair, An Old Fashioned Dance.” We can not forget the happy music of the Jones Boys. This was a bit unusual for us at Maynard High, but the Senior Class really made it a gay frolic. May: Dear Diary: Our class wasn’t to lag behind as far as activities were concerned. We heard of the Senior outing so we decided we wanted one. We voted to go to Sym- phony Hall to hear Pops Concert. Remember the peanuts we ate and the fun we had when we stopped at Howard Johnson’s? The poor bus driver probably never got over the noise we made singing on the way home. June: Dear Diary: With light hearts, light feet, and wings of angels, we flew out the doors in June. 1948 - 1949 September: Dear Diary: Returning from a sweltering summer vacation, we were reluctant to go back to our classes again, but ) we were greeted by some new faces in the faculty, Miss Mary ' Collins of the Commercial Department and Mr. John Larkin of the Guidance Department. October: Dear Diary: A very entertaining assembly was given under the direction of Miss Wilson in which we Sophomores took part. Frank Sotrines and Marion Weir made the perfect parents while Mary Labowicz and George Anelons portrayed the ideal children. We were able to show the student body our talent also by introducing to them Eddie D’Amico who gave a trumpet solo. November: Dear Diary: Where were we on the twelfth of this month? Why of course, we were at the Auditorium at- tending the Senior Dance. This dance was held to celebrate Armistice Day. The hall was decorated in red, white, and blue and we danced to the music of Johnny Arena’s Orchestra. December: Dear Diary: We sophomores really felt important when we received the December issue of the Screech Owl,” for this edition was dedicated to the Freshmen and Sophomores. Leaving for our vacation we were happy with this special Christmas gift. January: Dear Diary: On the seventh of this month something new came to us when the Junior Women’s Club held a dance and girls were allowed to ask the boy of their choice to be their escort. It was a gala evening and we all had a wonderful time. February: Dear Diary: The annual A. A. Social which has always been an outstanding dance was no exception this year. The attraction of the evening came when Gerry Robinson and Anna Belli were crowned King and Queen of Maynard High School. The last waltz was announced at 11:30 bringing to a close a very enjoy- able evening. March: Dear Diary: This month brought forth our second election of Class Officers. Those elected to office were Presi- dent Thomas Cocco, Vice-President, Carol Novick, Treasurer, William Howes, Secretary, Barbara Man- chester, and Miss Wilson remained as our adviser. April: Dear Diary: We were all very lucky to attend the assembly on the seventh of this month. It was a musical program and it held us all spellbound. We never realized how much musical talent our school possessed. May: Dear Diary: Once again we weren’t going to end school with- out an outing and this time we decided to go to Canobie Lake for the day. We had a wonderful time eating all the hot dogs, pop, and peanuts. Tired and happy we returned to Maynard. June: Dear Diary: In a similar manner we again ’’departed” from school. But this June we were much more sophis- ticated.” 1949 - 1950 September: Dear Diary: We once more entered Maynard High School. We were now nearing the top of the ladder. We felt real pride as we left the auditorium to go to our homerooms the first day, because the underclassmen were looking to us, their leaders, and we knew it. October: Dear Diary: On the nineteenth of this month we held our first dance as Juniors. There were many novelty dances in which we all participated. Instead of hiring an orchestra, we used records as an innovation. This made our dance a real financial success, as well as a social one. November: Dear Diary: This month brought on our third election of Class Officers. Those elected to hold the various class offices were President Thomas Cocco, Vice-President Carol Novick, Secretary Barbara Manchester, and Treasurer William Howes, Adviser Miss Wilson. December: Dear Diary: Hollywood had nothing on us ! In fact we could teach them something. Remember those tender scenes between Henry Nowick and Barbara Castrilli, Frank with his Santa Claus suit and Paul getting his instructions from Helen? A success? We guess it was. Those Juniors were really Hollywood finds! January: Dear Diary: Although a very unlucky day for most, Friday the 13th of this month was a very lucky day for us. We ran a dance and called it a Hoo Doo Hop in honor of the day. We decorated the hall with black cats and ladders and had many different novelty dances so that everyone enjoyed himself immensely. In- cidentally the treasury swelled, making Billy happy. February: Dear Diary: This month we all attended a dance run by the Student Council in honor of Valentine’s Day. At this dance the King and Queen of Maynard High School were crowned, Mary Sullivan and Edward Romanowski. Our own Gert Cuddy and Tommy Cocco were members of the court. March: Dear Diary: Like most years, we experienced one dull month. This year it was the month of March. April: Dear Diary: To Mr. Wassel’s P.A.D. classes, which included us, was extended the privilege of taking Driver Education. We all remember the snafu when it came to signing our names to the list. Poor Mr. Wassel was put through an awful nervous strain. Any day you could see a car swerve around a corner and Mr. Wassel with his hands across his eyes. No need to get excited — just one of those new Drivers! May: Dear Diary: The social highlight this month, of course, was the Junior Prom. After a while of marching with Mr. Lawson, we were finally in trim for our big night. Then the day dawned, not bright and sunny, but gloomy and rainy. Valiantly we strode through the puddles. Finally we found the sunshine we wanted inside of our auditorium which was deco- rated in pretty lavender and purple. The judges chose Carol Clark to be queen and she was crowned with a coronet of white roses. Her court consisted of Barbara Castrilli, Mary Labowicz, Carol Novick, and Gertrude Cuddy. After leaving the Prom we all w’ent to The Meadows in Framingham where we had made reservations. A wonderful evening! June: Dear Diary: This month the new members of the National Honor Society were inducted: Frank Sotrines, Carol Novick, Marie Sawyer, and Barbara Manchester. Leaving School this time wasn’t so much fun for us as we lost Miss Wilson, our adviser, who was leav- ing M. H. S. to be married. Our wedding gift to her was a sterling place setting. 1950 - 1951 September: Dear Diary: Coming back to school for the last year, we began to think seriously about what we were to do after graduation. When we arrived here we found a number of changes in the faculty. The new mem- bers were Miss Hogarty, Miss Barre, Miss Shine, Miss Leadbetter, and Mr. Smith. We elected officers early this year as we had many activities to run. Those elected were President Thomas Cocco, Vice-President Barbara Manchester, Treasurer William Howes, and Secretary Veronica Januliewicz. Mrs. Clair became our adviser after Miss Wilson left. These people should have felt very proud because we felt they were the best choice to lead us through the hardest year in High School, our Senior Year. October: Dear Diary: We held our first dance of our Senior year, on Friday the 20th of this month. The hall was deco- rated in Halloween motif with pumpkins and black bats decorating the lights. We introduced to MHS at this dance a novelty called Potato Dance. ” We hired Chuck DeGrappo’s Orchestra for the occasion. Those elected to serve on the dance consisted of the class officers, Gertrude Cuddy. Helen Stokes, Bar- bara Castrilli, Doris Sims, Angie Greeno, Marie Sawyer, Henry Nowick, Raymond Connors, John Doran, Jimmy Cutter, and Billy Molloy. ( 46 ) November: Dear Diary: On the 9th of this month six new members were introduced into the Honor Society. At this impres- sive ceremony the four members of the Society gave their interpretation of the qualities: Scholarship, Marie Sawyer; Character, Car ol Novick; Leadership, Barbara Manchester; and Service, Frank Sotrines. Those elected were Doris Sims, Thomas Cocco, Min- nie Toretsky, Mary Labowicz, Marion Weir, and Veronica Janulewicz. We all felt a deep sense of pride as we left the auditorium that day since the participants in this wonderful ritual were all mem- bers of our own class. December: Dear Diary: This month we held our second dance of the year on the 15th run by a committee consisting of Marie Sawyer, Helen Stokes, Paul Murphy, Henry Nowick, Patricia O’Clair, John Tomyl, Raymond Connors, John Doran, George Anelons, Mary Labowicz, Ger- trude Cuddy, and Barbara Castrilli. In order to ob- tain the money we so badly needed we decided to have a record hop which would cost less than hiring an orchestra. We decorated the hall by draping a pretty winter scene over the lights with green and red streamers hanging from it. The dance was a success and we made the much needed money. January: Dear Diary: This month fourteen members of our class were chosen to serve on a Senior Activities Committee. Those elected were Vincent Jarmulowicz, Stanley Jasielonis, John Tomyl, Beverly Price, Alda Tower, Marie Sawyer, Robert Nelson, Richard Turner, Lor- raine Campbell, Barbara Castrilli, Ann Christofono, Paul Murphy, John Taylor, and Helen Stokes. Sounds as if Graduation is really drawing close! It’s June in January. February: Dear Diary: In February the big event was the Athletic Asso- ciation Dance. This is always a big dance for the Queen and King of Maynard High School. This year it was especially interesting to the seniors, for the king and queen were to be chosen from the Senior Class. The excitement was great as the time neared, when the coronation was to take place. We all felt that our choice was the best ever as Tommy Cocco and Gert Cuddy were crowned King and Queen. They made a regal pair and Gert was one of the prettiest Queens Maynard High has ever seen, while Tommy was King as always. Their court con- sisted of a girl and a boy from each under class. We all had a grand time. Home late. March: Dear Diary: During this month w r e were very busy getting up the acts for the Variety Show.” Some of the seniors under the direction of Mr. Mattioli decided to put on a one-act play called High School Daze.” The players were the romantic team of Carol Novick and Henry Nowick, the female villain Mary Labowicz, the good friend Barbara Castrilli, and her beau Thomas Cocco, the brat of the family Paul Murphy, and the mother of the brood Helen Stokes. No one will ever forget Tommy’s first try at jit- terbugging and Mary with the dead flies in her cake, to say nothing about Paul on those skates. It took all the stagehands to help him with them. April: Dear Diary: On the second of this month we held our first activity outside of a dance, a food sale. We held it at Paul’s Food Shoppe which the Poulsons donated to us for the day. The day dawned just as rainy and miserable as could be and we had to run between the drops so as not to get our cakes and cookies all wet. We did a most wonderful job of co-operating as we made fifty-five dollars on this sale, excellent profit for the awful day we had. But as usual we pulled through. May: Dear Diary : This month the Senior Activities Committee held a meeting at which they decided to sell Gobbies,” which are hats that can be worn anyway imaginable. We sold these hats for sixty cents and we found they were a great hit, especially to the Junior High Schoolers. Did we look cute walking down the cor- ridor with our hats set jauntily on our heads. We certainly looked like anything but the sophisticated seniors. We were a constant distress to a certain Senior English teacher because we wanted to have them perched on our heads during our classes. ( 47 ) June: Dear Diary: June was our busiest month with all our graduat- ing activities. We had our outing on the eleventh, our class night on the thirteenth, and our Senior Re- ception on the fifteenth. Saturday we rested up for Sunday. We began with the Baccalaureate Service and Breakfast. At three o’clock came our long- awaited graduation with the boys wearing green robes and the girls white. This ended our school life at Maynard High School. Many new hopes and many fears, Many smiling through the tears, Many thinking of the past years, And all of the knowledge they’ve gained here.

( in short hand, also an article ( 50 ) ( Answers in Ad Sectio?i) Alda Tower Beverly Price Marie Sawyer Sports BOYS’ BASKETBALL BIDDEFORD 54 — MAYNARD 47 (MAINE) December 9, 1950 The Varsity opened the basketball season in a well played game at Boston Garden. It was the high- light of the eight game card which opened the schoolboy season. The Owls held a one point lead at the end of the first quarter but a Biddeford rally put the score at 15-18 against Maynard at half time. Hank Nowick hit on four out of five foul shots but the rest of the team failed at the free throw line. Biddeford came back and held their lead through the third period. In the last period a spirited May- nard rally tied the score but the Maine five had enough left to win. The Owls lost the game on the foul line. Biddeford ’sank 18 out of 31 while May- nard could hit only 9 out of 27. The Orange and Black sank 19 floor goals to Biddeford’s 18. The game was very close throughout with many fouls perhaps because it was the opening game of the sea- son. Hank Nowick led the team with 14 points while Owen Duggan and Frank Wolik had 9 and 8 re- spectively. The team looked very good in scoring 47 points and we have high hopes for a good season. MAYNARD 56 — HOPKINTON 36 December 12 The Varsity won their first game by routing Hop- kinton on their home floor. The game started out evenly as the first quarter score was 10-6 in the Owls Favor. However, at half time the Lawsonites hiked the score to 29-13 and were well on the way to their first victory. In the last half Maynard steadily pulled away on good passing and much drive. Capt. Billy Howes led the spirited team as they racked up 27 points in the second half to com- plete the runaway. Big Bob Nelson and Capt. Howes controlled the defensive backboard all night as the Green and White team was run into the ground. Sharpshooter Hank Nowick just couldn’t be stopped as he scored 24 points with Owen Dug- gan and Bennie Tomyl contributing eight apiece. The boys corrected their weakest spot, foul shoot- ing, by hitting on 12 out of 25, while the home team got 8 for 17. This team had the spirit, drive, and passing which has been missing in recent years. Fifty-six points is another figure that hasn’t been equaled for some time. Not to be out done, the Maynard Jayvees com- pletely humiliated Hopkinton 58-10. Time and again Orange men were alone under the basket be- cause of the poor guarding of the home club. Sophomore center Jim Sims was high scorer with 25 points, Andre Beshta next with 10 points. METHUEN 47 — MAYNARD 42 December 15 This was a close game all the way and might have been even closer except for the officiating. Methuen’s set shot artists got away to a good lead in the first half which terminated with the score 25-19 in their favor. Hank Nowick kept Maynard hopes alive with his good shooting, accounting for 11 of the 19 points. During the third period the Owls picked up steadily but were hurt with the loss of guards Bill Howes and John Tomyl via the 5 fouls route. In the last quarter, however, the Lawsonites rallies for 12 points, but the home club had just enough left to keep the 5 point margin. Nowick was high scorer for the Orange and Black with 18 points while big Bob Nelson chipped in with 8. Methuen scored 3 more floor goals than the Owls while the Lawsonites garnered 8 out of 18 on the foul line to the Blue and White’s 7 of 20. The Methuen Jay Vees completed the rout by downing the Owlets 37-33. The only bright spot for Maynard was the fast and alert play of the Sophomore quintet in the second period. Jim Sims and Jack MacDonald tal- lied 7 apiece for the Orange and Black. WESTON 50 — MAYNARD 46 December 18 This game was a see-saw battle all the way in spite of the fact that the Owls were plagued with bad passing and played one of their poorest games. Wes- ton won the game in the third period, scoring 18 points to the Maynard’s 8. During this quarter May- nard lost its guards, Capt. Billy Howes and John Tomyl, on fouls. Also in this period we saw some weird passing by the Owls that resulted in many fast breaks and scores for the home club. Bob Nelson ( 51 ) GIRLS ' BASKETBALL 1st Row. J. Kangas, A. Greeno, A.

(52 ) was the mainstay of the team as he scored 19 points and took many rebounds. Although Hank Nowick was off, he managed to score 13 points. This game was lost on the foul line. Maynard made 19 floor goals to Weston’s 18 but hit on only 8 out of 32 foul tries while the Red and Grey quintet sank 12 out of 25. The Jay Vees whipped the Weston Jay Vees 34-31 in another thriller. Second and third period rallies won this game as the Owlets scored 23 points to Weston’s 10 over that stretch. Jim Sims and Andre Beshta were Maynard’s high scorers with 13 and 6 points respectively. MAYNARD 53 — CONCORD 33 December 22 The big Maynard varsity completely routed arch rival Concord by 20 points on the latters home court. After an even battle in the first quarter the Orange and Black came back to take a lead which was never relinquished. The. Owls were led by the fine play of Bob Nelson and Hank Nowick. At half- time the score was 25-21 in Maynard’s favor. In the second half, led by Nowick, Nelson, and Owen Duggan, the Lawsonites tallied 28 points to the Minutemen’s 12. The drive displayed by the Owls was terrific as time and again they went in for lay- ups. Hank Nowick’s sharpshooting and driving was outstanding as he put 22 points on the scoreboard. Big Bob Nelson completely controlled both back- boards and was terrific all around as he racked up 16 points. Co-starring with these boys was Owen Dug- gan who came into the game in the second quarter and played inspired ball as he hung up 14 points. It wasn’t a game after the third quarter as Coach Dick Lawson’s boys just rolled up the score on the smaller Crimson quintet. It was a great victory for the coach and the players and partially atoned for the football debacle. The Jay Vees lost a heartbreaker 24-25. After trailing all through the game the sophomore quintet put on a rally that tied the score but Dan Gaylor sank a foul shot to break the tie with seconds re- maining. Ed Gallagher and Andre Beshta were the high scorers with 5 points apiece. MAYNARD 34 — HUDSON 32 January 3, 1951 This game featured the most dynamic finish of the season as Henry Nowick sank a basket with less than a minute to go to beat a Hudson quintet that had led all the way. The first half was all Hudson as the Nighthawks played fast game over the bigger Orange and Black five. Dick Lyons was the leader for Hudson tallying 14 points; he showed good ball handling. At half time the Nighthawks led 24-15. After in- termission the Maynard attack started to roll as the passing got better and the defense was tightened. This was emphasized by the fact that Lyons could score only two points, both foul shots, in the rest of the game because of superb guarding by Capt. Billy Howes. At the end of the third quarter, however, Hudson still led, 32-20. At this time Hudson tried to freeze the ball. They were successful for about 2 minutes but then Owen Duggan stole the ball. Here Maynard went into high gear as time and again they drove in for baskets while keeping the Red and White quintet scoreless. Big Bob Nelson was great as he controlled the boards and scored four baskets to lead the Lawsonites. With a minute left, Henry Nowick tied the game and then won it with a set shot from the side. The Maynard fans went wild as they carried the team off the floor after this great comeback. Dick Law r son’s team had scored 14 points in the last quarter while holding Hudson scoreless. Nowick and Nelson were the high scorers for May- nard with 15 and 14 points respectively. The Maynard Jay Vees beat the winless Hudson Jay Vees, 29-15, as they scored at will after the first quarter. At this time the score was 9-8 for Hudson, but the Maynard Sophomore quintet quickly erased this as they scored 10 points to the Nighthawks 2. After this it was all Maynard in the second half. Andre Beshta and Jim Sims were the high scorers with 8 and 7 points. MAYNARD 64 — MARLBORO 41 January 5 Maynard took its second straight Midland League game, crushing a winless Marlboro team at Marl- boro. At the end of the first quarter the score was tied 8 all, mostly single game shots, but after that it was all Maynard. The Owls hiked the score to 26-17 at halftime on the shooting of Henry Nowick, with 14 points, and Owen Duggan. The second half featured more of the same as Bob Nelson had com- plete control of both backboards and Nowick’s great drive brought him 19 points, a total of 33 for the game. He rarely missed as he drove in for many two-pointers. The taller Orange and Black quintet scored almost at will in the last half due to their superior height. The Lawsonites scored 25 bas- 1 53 ) kets to the home club ' s 16 and there was the story. After Nowick, the high scorers for the Owls were Nelson, 9 points, and Duggan and Wolik with 7 a piece. Wolik scored all his in the last quarter on some fast plays. This game is believed to establish 2 Maynard records: the 64 points by the team and the 33 points by Nowick. After trailing in the first quarter the Jay Vees held the Panthers scoreless in the second period as they took the lead and held it for the rest of the game. The final score was 24-19. Jimmy Sims was high scorer with 11 points. CLINTON 53 — MAYNARD 44 January 9 The Owls lost their first Midland League game to a good Clinton team at the Clinton Armory. Both teams started fast as 24 points were scored in the first quarter but Maynard began to get tied up in the second period and scored omy 5 points to the Gaels 11. The Orange and Black team left the floor at half time trailing by 8 points. The best rally of the game was put on here as the Lawsoni tes came back to score 10 quick points with Henry Nowick and Owen Duggan leading the way. However, the set- shooting of Garafoli and the close up shooting of Murphy and McNally finally caught up with the Owls and Clinton regained the lead and held it to the end. Set shots by Clinton led to Maynard’s de- feat. Led by Captain Joe Garfoli the Clinton team really found the range from outside. It was Clin- ton’s second league win against no losses. Henry Nowick took the individual scoring honors with 15 points while Clinton had three high men, Murphy 1 4, McNally 12 and Garfoli with 11. The floor play of the Maynard guards Captain Bill Howes and Frank Wolik was outstanding. The whole game was very well played by both teams. The Jay Vees also lost in a close game, 30-34. Maynard led through the first half but lost it on a 14 point rally by the Gaels in the third period. The Owlets came back in the last quarter to close the gap but could not over take Clinton. With eleven seconds left a fight started among the players and spread to the stands as Maynard and Clinton fans had it out with fists. This was stopped and the game finished. MAYNARD 42 — HUDSON 36 January 12 The Owls won their third Midland League game in four outings as they defeated Hudson for the sec- (54 ond time at the Hudson Armory. The game started out as though it might be a complete walkaway for Maynard but then the ax fell. Captain Billy Howes was banished from the game. This hurt the Lawson- ites considerably because their back-court game was weakened. This fact showed as the Orange and Black quintet could score only six points in the second quarter compared to 15 in the first. Henry N owick’s set shots accounted for 10 points while Jack MacDonald scored six in the first half. As the second half opened the Hudson team was hot. They had the fans in a continued uproar but never could catch the high flying Owls. At one time the score was 36-34, Maynard, but that was as close as it ever was. In the last quarter big Bob Nelson, Nowick, and Owen Duggan were the complete masters of the play. Nelson controlled the backboards all night as Maynard’s superior height showed. Henry Nowick’s beat out Dick Itchy” Lyons, who led his team’s rally, for the highest individual total scoring 19 points to the latter’s 16. Bob Nelson was also a high man, scoring 12 for the victors. It was the Night- hawk’s fourth league loss and put them deep in the cellar. The Jay Vees defeated the Hudson Junior Var- sity, 29-16. Despite the height of A1 Fagerquist, the Owlets took a commanding lead and held it most of the way. The defensive work of Mark Nelson was outstanding in the second half. Alec Kulevich and Andy Beshta were the high scorers for Maynard with seven points apiece. MILFORD 52 — MAYNARD 39 January 19 Maynard lost to an in and out Milford team which played its best game of the season in defeating the Owls by 13 points. Although it was the Lawsonites worst defeat thus far in the season, they played a good game but old Lady Luck did not smile on the boys in Orange and Black. The ball just wouldn’t go in the basket! This was particularly true in the case of Henry Nowick who scored only 11 points compared with his 19 point average for the other games. The Owls started fast with Big Bob Nelson working well in the pivot as well as making 3 beau- tiful hook shots and Owen Duggan hitting from the sides. Milford’s Joe Kelley, however, led his team in a rally and the Red and White took the lead and held it for the rest of the game. Maynard was hurt in the second half when Capt. Billy Howes and Nelson were fouled out. Nelson had done a fine job guarding 6 foot 4 Bob Gilmore, ) holding him to 2 baskets while scoring six baskets himself. Nelson had a 13 and Nowick 11 for the losers while Joe Celozzi and Kelley had 18 and 15 respectively for Milford. Better officials might have made the game closer, as Milford had 35 free throws compared to Maynard ' s 19. It was our second Mid- land League loss against 3 wins. The Jay Vees also lost in a dull game, 18-25. Alec Kulevich led the team with seven points and some good play but the rest of the team just didn’t have it. METHUEN 61 — MAYNARD 32 January 24, 1951 This was the Owls’ worst defeat of the season as they just couldn’t stop the fast Methuen club. May- nard’s offense couldn’t get started at all in any part of the game and this spelled their down-fall. The first period was evenly fought with Methuen hold- ing a 2 point lead when it ended. The second quar- ter, however, virtually won the game for the Blue and White team as they racked up 21 points to May- nard’s four. After this it was no game as Methuen kept going and hit the 60 mark for the first time this season. The Blue and White team, led by Judge and Huston, was very effective on their set shots. Methuen scored 25 baskets to 1 1 for the Owls and that was the ballgame. Bob Nelson again paced the Orange and Black scorers with 13 points. The Methuen Junior Varsity downed the Owlets, 28-23 in a close game. Alec Kulevich, playing his first game at center, did a very creditable job being individual high scorer with 10 points. Methuen’s superior height really won the game because they had good control of the backboards. The Jay Vees showed fine passing, something that was distinctly lacking in the Varsity. FRANKLIN 40 — MAYNARD 38 January 26 This was truly a heartbreaker for Coach Lawson and the boys. They played hard and well only to 1. Now Listen, Boys! 2. Before the Game 3. Follow the Leader 4. Come On, Bill 5. Watching the Seconds lose in the last five seconds. Franklin led throughout the first half although the Owls showed great im- provement in their teamwork and all around play from the Methuen disaster. It was a smooth click- ing team that left the floor at halftime trailing, 19- 24. In the third period the Orange and Black quin- tet started to roll and tied the score in the last quar- ter. Bob Nelson, using his superior height to great advantage, led this last period surge with 8 points. At the 45 second mark the score was all tied up at 38-38. Here Franklin began to freeze the ball. With five seconds left Spur took a desperation shot from half floor to win the game for the Panthers. Bob Nelson was individual high scorer with 13 points while Hank Now ' ick garnered eleven. It was our third Midland League loss against the same number of victories. After being shut out in the first quarter, the May- nard Jay Vees came back to win 37-21. As usual their teamwork and passing was good. Franny White led the scorers with 13 points, while Andy Beshta, Adam Mancini, and Jack MacDonald all had six points each. MAYNARD 65 — MARLBORO 34 January 30, 1951 With a magnificent display of shooting and all around play the Owls blasted the Marlboro Panther. The game was never close except when Marlboro put on a rally in the third period, and then Maynard had such a lead that the home club couldn’t come close. Coach Lawson’s team started fast with Bob Nelson’s nine points in the first quarter leading the way. Big Bob used his height to good advantage as he did a great job controlling both backboards all night. His hook shot was also working and at the end of the first half Maynard led by 20 points. Both Nelson and Hank Nowick had eleven points each at this time. The Owls seemed to take it easy in the third quarter and were outplayed by the smaller Marlboro quintet. However, they came back to score 21 points in the last period w ' hile the Panthers could get only eight. Owen Duggan, the third member of the big three, led this drive along with Nowick. The play of guards Frank Wolik and Capt. Billy Howes was outstanding as they broke up Marlboro’s first half zone defense by good passing and set shots. Maynard made 31 baskets compared to 16 for the Panthers. Nowick, Nelson, and Duggan contributed 26 as they scored 54 points between them. Art Savoy, Marlboro ' s only tall man, tallied 18 points. It was the Panther’s twelfth straight loss. The Jay Vees also won, 25-17, in a game that was dull compared to the games which followed. Ed Rogers, Chuck Laskowsky, and Alec Kulevich led the team with five points each. MAYNARD 57 — CLINTON 48 February 1, 1951 The Owls played their greatest game of the sea- son as they beat the defending Midland League Champions at the Clinton Armory. Clinton was pre- viously undefeated but met their doom at the hands of the smooth working, good shooting Owls. So com- plete was the victory that the Gaels could take the lead only in the see-saw second period. This was the only quarter that the Green and Gold outscored the Orange and Black. Clinton started using the zone defense. This didn’t last, however, as the set shots of Bob Wolik outside and Hank Nowick and Owen Duggan in the corners, put Maynard into an early lead. The Owls had a commanding 15-7 lead as the first period came to a close. The Gallop- ing Gaels came back fast and the lead changed hands many times before Maynard took charge and regained a six point margin at halftime. One of the most telling factors of Maynard’s play was the way Bob Nelson took the rebounds off t he boards. This was coupled with the very aggressive play of Owen Dug- gan and Hank Nowick’s 12 points. All through the second half it was Duggan leading the way very ably assisted by the rest of the team. The teamwork and passing of the Maynard Club was just too much for the Gaels. Duggan also did a great job guarding Capt. Joe Garafoli in the last half, holding him score- less compared to 11 points in the first half. May- nard scored 22 floor goals to Clinton’s 21 but gath- ered 13 out of 22 on the foul line compared to the losers 6 for 13. Nowick had the highest individual total, 19, closely followed by teammate Duggan with 17 points. Bob Wolik had eleven. Davidson and Garafoli were high for the Green and Gold. The Orange and Black Jay Vees lost to the taller Clinton Junior Varsity 35-22. Ed Gallagher led the losers with 7 points. MAYNARD 47 — ACTON 46 February 9 The Owls edged a scrappy Acton team before a good crowd in Blanchard Hall, Acton. Although the Blue and Gold Acton quintet was fast, it also had the advantage of being used to the narrow, short court. The Maynard boys were a little cramped on such a court. It was the opinion of most people that the Orange and Black would have walked away with the game on a larger floor. Acton started fast, led by Edgar and Darrick, but Coach Dick Lawson’s giants soon crept up and at half time it was all tied up at 21-21. Maynard’s successful driving game just couldn’t get started and they had to rely on set shots and rebounds. Acton was handicapped as three play- ers collected three personal fouls in the first half. The Blue and Gold team raced to a ten point lead in the third quarter but the Owls caught up at the termination of the third quarter. During this hectic period Acton lost three players and Maynard one. First, the two Captains, Billy Howes and Harry Morse, were ejected for fighting. Then Acton lost Johnny Edgar and Dickie Rhodes on personal fouls. After this the big three of Hank Nowick, Bob Nel- son, and Owen (Ace) Duggan went to work and won the ball game. Nowick was his usual terrific self as he scored 15 points to lead the team. Nelson tied his teammate for individual scoring honors with 15, turning in a great job under the backboards. Duggan again played a sparkling game scoring 12 points on some very fancy plays. Acton, which leads the Wachusett League, has an overall record of 15 wins and 5 losses. Acton outscored the Owls from the floor, 21 bas- kets to 18 but the Maynard hit for 11 shots on the foul line to the losers’ 4. The Jay Vees won the preliminary game, 16-14, as they too were hampered by the small floor. Cap- tain Jack MacDonald led the Owlets with 7 points. MILFORD 48 — MAYNARD 4l February 13 Milford High School held its jinx over the Orange and Black at Milford’s home court. After starting very fast with a 7-2 lead after one minute of play, the Owls slowed down and Milford dominated the rest of the game. The Red and White quintet won its ninth victory of the season and its fourth Mid- land League win on the strength of good shooting. While Maynard was having an off night and could get only 14 baskets, Milford sank 20, an edge of 12 points. The Lawsonites played the home club fairly even in the first half with Bob Nelson, Hank Nowick, and Owen Duggan playing good ball but all three faded in the second half. Forwards Bob Stoico and Joe Celozzi were the thorns in Maynard’s side as they scored 32 points between them, mostly on outside shots. Hank Nowick, the league’s leading scorer, gar- nered 14 points while Duggan and Nelson supported him with 11 and 10 respectively. The Maynard Junior Varsity walloped the Mil- ford Jay Vees, 40-21. They showed good passing and teamwork throughout as they were never be- hind. Jack MacDonald scored 13 points and Alec Kulevich scored 12 to lead the scorers. FRANKLIN 50 — MAYNARD 45 February 16 Franklin took another close one from the Owls. It was the final game of the regular season for the Orange and Black. With the Milford loss, it put them in fourth place in the Midland League with a five and five record. This was Maynard’s ninth loss against eight wins. Franklin started fast and led throughout the first quarter, but then the Lawsonites began to move. With Hank Nowick and Bob Wolik leading them, the Owls pulled up to within two points of the lead at half time. Bob Nelson took over in the third period, scoring ten of the team’s 15 points but Maynard still trailed by one. The good shooting of Buffone, Spur, and Martello kept Franklin just one step ahead of the Owls. Nowick scored 17 points to end the season as the Midland League’s second highest scorer. Nelson tallied 14 to rank fifth in the scoring race. The playmaking of Capt. Billy Howes was missed through the last three quarters as he had been banished in the first period. The Jay Vees won their last game 50-34 as they easily overpowered their opponents. All but one of Maynard’s players scored with Ed Rogers, Fran White, Chuck Laskowsky, Adam Mancini and Ed Gallagher leading. MAYNARD 68 — WESTWOOD 54 February 23 The Lawsonites won their qualifying bid in the Small Schools Tournament at the Rindge Tech. Gym. After a see-saw first period Maynard took the lead and never relinquished it. Hank Nowick was hot in the first quarter, scoring 10 points, but he soon cooled and it was Bob Nelson and Owen Duggan who led the team to victory. Although these three topped the scoring it was really a great team win. Capt. Billy Howes, even though he failed to score, high- lighted the game with his great playmaking and pass- ing. Billy’s value was emphasized in the third period. He had been taken out before the half because of four personal fouls and Westwood scored 10 points ( 57 ) to Maynard’s 2 and only trailed by 2 points. Here the Owl Captain reentered the game and soon the Orange and Black was 12 points ahead. Bobby Wolik’s and Owen Duggan’s set shots wrecked the zone defense set up by the Green team and Duggan combined beautifully with Nelson on the backboards, sinking three tap-ins. Wolik scored 10 points while the latter tallied 18. The real standout of the game was Bob Nelson as he had his best night of the sea- son. Big 6 foot 5 inch Bob dumped 24 points through the hoop on hooks, pivot shots and tap-ins. The big center also played a very aggressive game and controlled both backboards to perfection. Nel- son’s total was fourth highest in the state for games played that day. The Owls scored 31 floor goals to 21 for Westwood as they chalked up their highest one-game total of the year. Only the sharpshooting of Don Aubrey and Neal Harrington kept the losers in the game. Westwood ended the regular season tied with Weston for second place in the Dual County League. WAREHAM 31 — MAYNARD 43 February 27 Maynard lost in the semi-finals of the Small Schools Tournament at Malden. After leading throughout the first half, the taller Owls succumbed the fast playing, good passing Blue and White quin- tet. The game was marred by poor officiating and some faulty official scoring. Both teams started well with the Owls taking a quick lead despite bad pass- ing. Big Bob Nelson’s rebounding was vital as he controlled both backboards with ease. Capt. Billy Howes continued to do a good job on the defensive board as he had all season. Hank Nowick scored 10 and Nelson 8 points to account for the 24-20 lead at the half. The second half was a different story. Only Owen Duggan could score in the third period as he sank four set shots. The Orange and Black just weren’t hitting and their passing was poor. The speedy Wareham five kept whittling at the lead until they went ahead to stay. Nelson and Nowick, play- ing their last game, led the team with 13 and 10 points respectively, while Duggan also scored 10. The other seniors bidding farewell to M. H. S. bas- ketball were Capt. Billy Howes and Bob Wolik. Roger Weaving, ’53 Cheer Leaders’ Jamboree A cheer leaders’ jamboree sponsored by the Hud- son High School Student Council was held at the Hudson State Armory on Friday evening, March 9. The program was opened by Charlie O’Rourke, who served as Master of Ceremonies. He introduced CHEERLEADERS A. Spurrell, L. Bain, J. Kangas, J. Morgan, Capt. P. O ' Clair, K. Higgins, A. Greeno, C. Clark, C. Whitney. the Hudson cheer leaders who gave the welcome cheers. The ten visiting teams were then called upon to perform. The competition was very keen as all the groups turned in wonderful performances of their showman- ship and spirit. The judges had a hard time decid- ing on the winners and the decisions were very close. The classy and well drilled Marlboro cheer leaders were proclaimed the winners. Second prize went to the snappy performers from Westboro, third prize to Howe High of Billerica, fourth prize to Wajland and fifth to MAYNARD. The head cheer leader of these winning groups was presented with the trophy of her choice. The girls were rated on appearance, organization, and originality. Other teams which participated were: Framingham, St. Mary’s of Waltham, Natick, North- boro and St. Bernard s of Fitchburg. The Hudson High School Band played several selections. During intermission there was a trumpet solo, an acrobatic performance and a piano solo. At the end of the competition the visiting cheer leaders were guests of the Hudson High School Stu- dent Council for refreshments. We all had a wonderful time and we are looking forward to next year ' s jamboree, in the hope that we may again wun a trophy, and again bring pride and fame to Maynard High School. Girls’ Basketball Basketball began immediately after the Field Hockey season closed. Bobby Statkus was elected captain of the first team and Janice Morgan of the second team while Barbara Prosper and Joanne Tucker were the managers. The girls practiced whenever the gym was avail- able (which wasn’t too often). But nevertheless, we had our share of wins, losses and ties, and the first team had an especially good record. They scored 95 points in 5 games while the second team scored 79 points in the same number of games. Captain Bobby Statkus was first team high scorer and Mary Sweeney and Jeanie Jokisaari led the sec- ond team in scoring. We had some excellent guards this year and I think they should be given due credit, for they did much in making the season a success. I would also like to give credit and praise to Miss Mary Collins who made this season possible. We’ve had a lot of fun as well as exercise in our practice and competi- tion. MAYNARD vs. HUDSON (at Hudson) 1st Team — Maynard 15 — Hudson 6 2nd team — Maynard 23 — Hudson 19 The girls first basketball game of the season was played at the Hudson Armory on Friday, January 5. Both of our teams started the season off on the right foot by triumphing over Hudson’s teams. Our first team defeated the Hudson first’s 15-6. Angie Greeno was high scorer with 8 points. Captain Bobby Stat- kus and Lois Bain scored the others. Our second team edged out the Hudson seconds 23-19, in a keenly contested battle. Jeanie Jokisaari was top scorer with points. The others were garnered by Mary Sweeney Helen Sczerzen and Mary Priest. MAYNARD vs. MARLBORO (at Marlboro) 1st team Marlboro 34 — Maynard 18 2nd team Marlboro 42 — Maynard 13 On Tuesday, January 9, we played at Marlboro. Both of our teams were completely drowned out by fast-acting Marlboro sextets. At half time the first team score was 27-8 in favor of Marlboro, but May- nard managed to rally in the last two periods and the Marlboro girls scored only 7 more points, mak- ing the score 34-18. Lois Bain and Mary Sweeney scored 6 points apiece, Captain Bobby Statkus, 5 and Beverly Price, 1. Our second team suffered a severe defeat as they were trampled on 42-13. Helen Sczerzen scored 7 points, Jeanie Jokisaari 4 and Mary Priest 2. MAYNARD vs. CONCORD (at Concord) 1st team Maynard 25 — Concord 24 2nd team Concord 20 — Maynard 7 On Friday, January 12, we played the Concord girls at Hunt Memorial Gymnasium. Our girls weren’t at all sure of winning, but they had their hearts set on it. And the first team did win ! Their game was jam-packed with thrills, chills, and excite- ment from the beginning to the end. It was a very close game, but we managed to nose out the Concord girls 25-24. Captain Bobby Statkus scored 15 points and Lois Bain, a sophomore, 10. The second team had a very unlucky day as they lost their second game thus far. The Concord seconds got an early lead and managed to keep it. The final score was ( 59 ) 20-7. Captain Janice Morgan was high with 4 p oints, while Jeanie Jokisaari scored 2 and Mary Sweeney 1 . MAYNARD vs. HOPKINTON (at Hopkinton) 1st team Hopkinton 36 — Maynard 25 2nd team Hopkinton 30 — Maynard 16 We played at Hopkinton on Thursday, January 18. Hopkinton triuumphed over our first team, 36- 25. Lois Bain staged a marvelous performance as she swished the ball through the basket 7 times for 14 points. Captain Bobby Statkus scored the remain- ing 1 1 . The second team game was a complete walk- away, as far as Hopkinton was concerned. Our team admitted defeat to the tune of 36-16. Jeanie Jokisaari and Virginia Van Vorse scored 12 points between them. Better luck next time, kids. BASEBALL WESTON 19 — MAYNARD 0 April 12, 1951 Maynard opened its baseball season on a cold, windy day at Weston. This game gave Coach Law- son a view of his Sophomore studded outfit under action in preparation for the Concord game a week later. The Owls’ chief fault was weak hitting as they could get only three hits off Roger Hanney in eight innings. The best hit of the game, however, was made by Captain Hank Nowick, a double to deep left field with no one on in the sixth. Albie Alexan- ian and Adam Mancini made the other two singles. Weston scored early on four hits and a walk off Billy Howes, to score three runs in the first. The Red and Blue team scored three more in the second with the aid of two errors and two walks. Ed D ' Amico took over in the third and faced only eight batters in two innings, allowing two hits and no runs. It was Maynard’s best pitching performance of the game. Weston scored the remainder of their runs off John Taylor and Johnny Doran. Big sticker for Weston was catcher Paul Hanney who had four hits in five trips, while Jones and Boughuer both had three runs batted in. CONCORD 14 — MAYNARD 0 April 19 The Owls lost to arch rival Concord in their an- nual Patriots Day game, at Concord. Maynard MAYNARD vs. ACTON (at Acton) 1st team Maynard 12 — Acton 12 2nd team Acton 27 — Maynard 20 The Maynard girls played the Acton girls, Wed- nesday, January 24. The first team game was nip and tuck all the way through, ending in a 12-12 tie. It was a thriller diller of a game and the crowd was breathless more than once. Captain Bobby Statkus scored 6 points, Angie Greeno, 4 and Joanna Kan- gas, 2. The second team game was very close and the Acton seconds won a heartbreaker of a game by a 27-20 score. At half time the score was 14-13 in favor of Maynard, but Acton won out. Mary Sweeney scored 8 points and Helen Sczerzen, Vir- ginia Van Vorse and Captain Janice Morgan scored the rest. Janice Morgan, ’52 started out well in the first inning as they loaded the bases with none out. Mancini singled to left, Gal- lagher walked, and Sims also singled to left. But Nowick died to McHugh in the center and Mancini was out at home. Kulevich struck out to erase the threat. This was as close as the Orange and Black nine could come all day, for they got only two hits and three walks off Stockelberg, Concord’s pitcher, the rest of the game. Concord scored their initial run in the first when Coughlin circled the bases on four errors. In the second, the Minutemen scored again on a walk, in- field out, and a single. Bad luck hit pitcher Johnny Doran again in the third as a two-base error with a man on first scored the third Concord counter. The fourth inning featured a rare triple play by May- nard. With men on first and second, the Concord batter bunted. Third baseman Alec Kulevich fielded the ball and just nipped him at first. First sacker Ed Gallagher then relayed to catcher Hank Nowick to get the man from second coming home. Nowick, in turn, threw to Kulevich at third to get the man com- ing from first. Concord came back, however, to score two in the fifth and three in the sixth as Doran grew wild and the Maynard defense got worse. Ed D’Amico came in to pitch the seventh inning, and he too was a victim of poor support — four errors being committed behind him while he gave up five hits. This ended the Concord scoring, as Billy Howes shut out the Minutemen in the eight. ( 60 ) The outstanding player for Maynard was Adam Mancini who maintained his 500 averager, getting two hits in four trips and playing well in the out- field. The other Owl hits were made by Capt. Nowick and (im Sims, each getting a single. It was a sad day for the Orange and Black — committing 13 errors on defense and getting only four hits. MAYNARD 6 — WAYLAND 4 April 26 Maynard cracked the win column at Wayland as Johnny Doran pitched great ball for the Orange and Black. This game was quite different from the pre- ceding two in that it was a pitcher’s duel most of the way. A brilliant switch of players also payed off for the Owls. Coach Dick Lawson shifted third- baseman Alec Kulevich to shortstop and catcher Hank Nowick to third base, with Sophomore Eddie Cuddy behind the plate. The former two perked up the infield making seven assists between them, while Cuddy did a very creditable job of catching. Ed may have saved the game in the sixth when, with one out and the bases loaded, Davis struck out and Ed picked Marcantonio of third to end the inning. The whole Maynard team was 100 per cent better de- fensively as they handled 44 chances without an error and made 3 double plays. The Owls big inning was the third, in which they scored four runs on 2 hits, four walks and an error. With the bases loaded, Jimmy Sims singled to left to drive in Doran and Adam Mancini. Soon afterward Kulevich grounded to shortstop Rollie Whelchel. His throw home was wild and Gallagher and Sims scored. Wayland got one run back in the fourth on a single by Bowers, a walk, infield out, and a single by Tup- per. Maynard scored their last two runs in the fifth when Capt. Nowick walked and Kulevich and Ed Rogers singled for the two runs. Ed Rogers had 2 hits for the Owls and Adam Mancini kept up his hitting streak getting one for four. Fran Bowers was the big sticker for the losers with three hits.

The Scientist She stood behind the curtain, Her eyes were all aglow. How successful she would be, Time alone would show. The long awaited moment Was slowly drawing near. But even all her happiness Could not hide her fear. She had been so determined But now she was so meek, Her heart was wildly pounding, Her knees felt mighty weak. The curtains parted ; no time left Out in the wings to dally; There’s nothing can surpass the joy Of a cheerleader’s first rally.

A Tri-Hi-Y girl was asked recently to present a short essay on men as a part of a Dates and Mates” program. Her masterpiece follows. It may set boy- girl relationships back fifty years! Men are what women marry. Generally speaking, they may be divided into three classes: husbands, bachelors, and widowers. A bachelor is an eligible mess of obstinacy en- tirely surrounded by suspicion. Husbands are of three types: prizes, surprises, and consolation prizes. Mak- ing a husband out of a man is one of the highest forms of plastic art known to civilization. It requires science, sculpture, common sense, faith, hope, and charity. If you flatter a man, you frighten him to death: if you don’t, you bore him to death. If you wear gay colors and a startling hat he hesitates to take you out; but if you wear a little beret and a tailored suit, he takes you out and stares all evening at the women in gay colors and startling hats. If you are the clinging vine type, then he doubts whether you have a brain. If you are modern and intelligent, he doubts whether you have a heart. If you’re silly, he longs for someone bright. If you’re brilliant and intellectual, he longs for a playmate. Man is just a worm in the dust; he comes along, wriggles around for a while and finally some chicken gets him.” Platter Patter I’ll Always Love You — Barbara M. to Junie Beautiful Brown Eyes — Adam I Love The Way You Say Goodnight — Salty to Faith Be My Love — Ralph to Ann Too Young — Freshmen Daring Young Man On Flying Trapeze — Adam at Variety Show Three Little Words — Sorry, No Diploma” Slipping Around — Billy Freeman Give Me Five Minutes More — During Exams Tea For Two — Ricky and Kay It’s Too Late Now — Seniors with 15 points Slow Boat to China — What Sr. Boys can look for- ward to Georgia Hatch, ’53 Janet Gentsch, ’52 Barbara Thumith, ’52 Tommy Cocco, ’51 1.
