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. Barbara Mitzcavitch, ’52 1 31 )
