Fverythmg is ready to go; vve arc waiting for a Linteri Limousine from the airport. We shall fly from Boston to New York and then board our ship for the Island. Donald Haras, who is driving the airport limou- sine, is waiting to take us to our destination. Upon arriving at the airport, Margaret Lydon tells us our flight leaves in ten minutes and that our pilot will be Peter Kallio and Co-pilot, Ronald Kangas. While waiting to board our plane, we meet an old friend, Dom Mancini, with five stars on his shoulder. He is a five-star general. Dom tells us that he is seeking Presidential nomination. We wish him good luck and head for the magazine counter. We have time to purchase one magazine. What is this — Ruth Emanuelson on the front page of The Oil ' ll She is the winner of the Queen-for-Two- Weeks Contest to be held in Havana. Oh, yes, gum is good if you aren’t used to flying. Mary Harding is at the candy counter and recom- mends gum for just about anything. It ' s time to be off. Wow! What a big plane — this is one of the Higgins Airline Planes. Pat Aho, the stewardess, welcomes us aboard. It ' s a very short trip to New ' York, and upon arrival we start on our way to the M. H. S. Class of ' 54. The ship is late in starting the journey. What is the delay? We find out that w ' e are waiting for that very rich oil man, Raymond Tannuzzo — late as usual. He arrives with his dear friend, Ted Clark, co-ow ' ner of the Kay and Cee T. V. Corporation, and his personal ba ggage man — Ray Smith. It must be nice to have their money. After w ' aiting for an hour, we finally leave the harbor. Bon-voyage! All are settled in their cabins when we hear James Hanson on the public address system announcing some of the crew of the ship. The captain is Len Massarelli and his first mate is Andy Mitzeavitch. After a brief rest we decide to tour the ship and become accjuainted w ' ith fellow travellers, just as we open the door we see the renowned interior decorator Rose Buscemi and her two illustrious assistants, dhirley Leithead and Mary Grigas. Rose tells us she works very closely with that famous painter Sandra Stammers, whose paintings are in the dining room. Rose also reminds us of the big show ' tonight. The famed band leader Dom Barbuto is first on the pro- gram. Dorn’s pianist is JoAnne Sylvia. A very special treat is K. Bobritsky and M. Pizza and their hillbilly songs. Katty does a w ' onderful job of yodeling. We say goodbye to Rose and start our tour of the ship. Say isn ' t that — yes, it is; behind that book — Robert Lowney. He alw ' ays did like to read. We won ' t disturb him now. Look, standing over there! It’s Dotty Janulewicz and her husband, the district manager of the A. P. Dot had the good fortune to have a marriage license issued by Ronald Alving, City Clerk. Robert Johnson and Paul Duggan are waiting to photograph the new ' Iy-weds. They are the ship’s photographers. The next to be photographed will be Jo Porrazzo, who is on a free cruise after w ' inning the Miss Pizza Con- test. Jo looks pale and requests the ship’s nurse, Barbara Crotty. Barbara gave Jo a pill for sea sick- ness that w ' as compounded by the pharmacist on board, Margaret Sweeney. As we continue our walk about the deck, we catch a glimpse of someone w ' earing the most peculiar clothes. Oh! Russell Lattuca — we heard that he was on his way to the Island to hunt a rare” success bird. Good luck to him. You see all kinds of things on board ship. There is the ship’s barber giving haircuts. Well, if it isn’t Kenny Bingle! We start talking to him and he tells us that he w ' as just talking to Betty Duckworth, who is on a 30-day officers’ leave from the WAF’s. Ken says she has very short hair now — that’s what happens in the WAF’s. There is the steward, Reino Niemi. Let’s go over and have a few words with him. Reino uas nice enough to inform us about some of the passengers on the ship. He told us Fred Mariani was head purser on board, and that our meals would be planned by dietitian Alma Bowse, and prepared by that great chef, Larry Tower. Reino also gave us the lowdown on those famous personalities on board. They are William Murphy, President of General Motors; Jack Tierney, owner of Thom McAn Shoes, Inc.; Albert Anderson, National Shawmut Bank President , and Norma Puckett, the personal buyer for Bonwit- Tellers most exclusive customers. Three great sports personalities aboard are Roger Murray, center for the Globe Trotters; Bruce Stalker, well known figure skater, accompanied by Madeline Salomone, also a famed skater; and Ed Lawton, world- wide w ' restler. We are again on our own, since Reino had work to do. Before he left he told us to go to Cabin 28. The great comedian, Alex Lalli, is signing autographs, but the line is too long. Oh, w ' ell, we can see him later. Gosh, there is Jerry Connors waiting in line. He must be on his way to the Island to set up one of his fabulous trailer camps. Well, if it isn’t Lowney sitting at the end of the line reading his book. That must be a pretty good book. After going back to our cabin and getting dressed for dinner, we go into the dining room — and who is sitting in the corner at a small table all alone but Lowney -- reading his book. The flowers on the table are really beautiful ; they must be from the flower shop on board which is operated by Jean Martino. Over at that table . . . it’s Alice Boeske and Priscilla Hoffman, dhey arc on their way to the Olympics. A1 is in the championship stockcar race and Cilia is going with her for a rest. She is very tired of teaching Driver Education at Maynard High S chool. What shall we order Here comes the head waiter Neil Whitney We ought to make up our minds. The dinner was very good, and we have about an hour before the night’s entertainment begins. Ted Clancy starts the entertainment with his great juggling act. His assistant is Virginia Sulkala. Gini teaches the first grade back home. She must enjoy vacations. The next entertainer is Elizabeth Jarmulowicz. Betty is known the world over for her beautiful piano arrangements. Barbuto’s Band just came on. It must be time to dance. First, look in the corner. Lowney is finishing his book. Well, he just finished it. The name of it was How to Enjoy Yourself on a Cruise. It’s getting late. We should retire for today. And let us all hope we reach the Island of Success.

The following officers were elected; President, Ronald Kangas; Vice-President, Roger Murray; Secretary, Joanne Sylvia. Tuesday afternoons we returned to the laboratory lO work on our projects. We made trips and tours to different museums and factories. Junior Women’s Club For our initiation into the J. W. C., to which we had all dreamed of belonging, each girl was instructed to wear a ridiculous costume, and good sports that we were, each one of us came in outlandish dress. We also performed, doing stunts given us by the committee. Remember how foolish we felt. Our first Junior Women’s Club Dance was held in December and was a gala event to all new members. A. A. Dance 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 M. H. S. Sports and Court. Miss Mary Collins, girls ' coach, made the announce- ment — Lennie and Alice were on the court. Girls’ Sports Night The first annual Girls ' Sports Night Banquet was held in the George Washington Auditorium on Mon- day, April 23. All girls out for either field hockey or basketball and the women teachers of the high school were invited to attend. A delicious luncheon, pre- pared by Miss Collins and a few of the girls, was served. After the supper a short entertainment was presented followed by the announcement of the new captains and the winners of trophies. M. H. S. Variety Show The third annual Maynard High School Variety Show was presented April 4 and 5 in the George Washington Auditorium for the benefit of the Athletic Association. All the proceeds from the sale of tickets went to the athletic program at M. H. S. The money received from the donated fudge went towards new uniforms for the cheerleaders. A good job was done by all, and the show was a tremendous success. Class Officers, 1950 - 1951 President Leonard Massarelli Vice-President Margaret Sweeney Secretary Patricia Aho Treasurer Fred Zanelli Student Council Representatives Mary Cantino Roger Murray Gerald Connors Virginia Sulkala SOPHOMORES A. A. Record Hop On January 30, one of the most successful affairs of the season was held. This was the record hop sponsored by the Athletic Association. Bob Clayton was the main attraction of the evening. The ten top tunes at Maynard High were announced and played by Mr. Clayton. The King, Queen, and Court were announced. Lenny and Alice again were our representatives. We all had a wonderful time and the A. A. reaped a well-deserved profit. Variety Show The fourth annual Variety Show took place on April 16 and 17. The Student Council presented this show and it turned out a great success. Some of us were lucky enough to go with the troupe when it journeyed to Fort Devens and put on another successful performance. This was the last Variety Show at M. H. S. but we will long remember all the fun we had in helping to make it a success.

Anticipation mounted, and finally we were being led by the officers of our class in the Grand March. Later in the evening the Queen of the Junior- Senior Promenade, Ruth Emanuelson, was escorted to her throne and crowned by the Junior Class President, Leonard Massarelli. The Queen’s court was made up of six classmates — Alice Boeske, Josephine Porrazzo, Sandra Stammers, Norma Puckett, Jane Novick, and Margaret Lydon. The next waltz played by Salomone’s orchestra was dedicated to the royalty and their escorts. During the evening punch was served to students and guests. After a highly successful affair, the two classes went as a group to the Meadows where reservations had been made previously by our class adviser, Mrs. Clair.

They were facing a very strong St. Mary ' s line. The first half featured several good runs by Duggan and a tally by Co-captain Massarelli. The action picked up in the second half, as Co-captain Mitzcavitch scored on a twenty-yard run. Several fumbles and a pass interception by Clancy deep in St. Mary’s territory set up the remaining scores, two of which were made by Massarelli and Mitzcavitch, giving them two each for the day. The third was a thirty-yard pass play from Torppa to Murray. Mitz- cavitch added the only Maynard extra point in the game. St. Mary’s began to roll in the third quarter and scored twice before the final gun. Jarmulowicz was outstanding defensively, although everyone con- tributed to the praise-worthy opening performance. MAYNARD 0 — HUDSON 13 A hopeful Maynard squad took the field deter- mined to break Hudson ' s eleven game winning streak. The first half saw no scoring with both teams throw- ing away chances to score. The second period began somewhat like the first but suddenly Dhionis of Hudson broke away at Maynard’s thirty-yard line and went all the way to paydirt. The conversion was good and Hudson led 7 to 0. Co-captain Mitzcavitch took the kickoff and with fine blocking broke through the Hudson defense and would have scored had not he been caught from behind on the Hudson thirty- yard line. They moved the ball down to the seven- yard line when a touchdown pass from Torppa to Sluyski was called back because of a Maynard offside. They could not score and did not have another chance until late in the 4th period. They fumbled and Hudson again scored on an 80-yard run. MAYNARD 6 — CONCORD 41 Before a large crowd at the traditional Maynard- Concord game, Concord got off to a sensational start by scoring twenty-one points in the first quarter. They gained most of their yardage on wide-sweeps around the ends. One touchdown came on an interception in Maynard territory. In the second quarter Maynard recovered the ball on Concord’s eight-yard line after a poor Concord center. Several plays later, for the first time in five games, Concord was scored upon as Jim Duggan carried the ball over from the five-yard line. The contest was closer in the second half as Maynard’s passing attack began to move with Torppa complet- ing passes to Murray, Sluyski, Duggan and Mitz- cavitch. But they could not score and when the final whistle blew it was 4l to 6 in favor of Concord. MAYNARD 6 — MILFORD 9 The Maynard boys were by no means out-classed as they lost a tight, hard-fought game to a scrappy Milford squad. In the first half Milford scored on a sustained drive into Maynard territory. Captain Massarelli and Jim Duggan were having great success around the ends of the Milford line, but the team could not score. Later on in the game they broke [ 50 ] the ice on a sensational thirty-yard run and a Maynard touchdown. Ihe second half witnessed a new May- nard maneuver which completely confused Milford. It was a fake kick play in which Torppa completed several long passes, but Maynard was not destined to score again and the final score was Milford 9, Maynard 6. ' Ihe other two Milford points came on a blocked kick of Massarelli ' s which rolled into May- nard s end zone for a safety. MAYNARD 13 — JOHNSON 12 Maynard High School played the most exciting game of its season against a fighting Johnson High School squad in North Andover. In the first quarter Maynard moved close to the goal line but was stopped by a Johnson interception. They finally scored in the second quarter as Jim Duggan raced over from the ten-yard line. As the half ended, the score was 6 to 6. Johnson had scored and neither team made the extra point. In the second half Johnson surprised Maynard with an early touchdown, but missed the extra point. Following this touchdown neither team w ' as able to score for some time. The ball shifted hands continually. This situation was unchanged until late in the fourth period when May- nard seized an opportunity and marched to the Johnson 5-yard line. After several attempts failed. Co-captain Andy Mitzcavitch scored to make it a 12 to 12 tie. The all-important extra point was to be made with seconds remaining. The center pass was received by Torppa, who instead of setting it for the conversion by Mitzcavitch, leaped into the air and tossed a pass to Roger Murray who was standing alone in the end zone. Several plays later the final whistle blew and Maynard won 1 3 to 12. MAYNARD 13 — STONEHAM 18 Maynard lost a heartbreaker to Stoneham as the squad made a fine showing for the home town fans. The outstanding play of the first quarter was a pass from ' I ' orppa to Mariani for 40 yards. Neither team scored, however, until the second quarter when Stoneham scored after a sustained drive. They failed to convert. Maynard followed with a drive of its o..n that ended in a touchdown by Jimmy Duggan. They converted on a fake kick and a pass to Sluyski. Stoneham continued to gain yardage on the ground and scored once more before the end of the half. They again missed the extra point and the score was 12 to 7. The second half saw the play of the game - a 75-yard pass play from Torppa to Mitzcavitch for a touchdown. The conversion was missed but Maynard led 13 to 12. Stoneham again began to drive but was stopped on a great interception by Timmy Higgins. But Maynard could not score and returned the ball on a fine punt by Co-captain Massarelli. This time Stoneham could not be stopped and marched to its third touchdown. In the closing minutes, Maynard tried desperately to score but could not. The final score was Stoneham 18, Maynard 13. MAYNARD 32 — MARLBORO 7 Maynard impressively revenged a surprise upset turned against them at Marlboro last year. Marlboro was unable to stop Maynard’s running attack which accounted for all their touchdowns. In the first half. Coach Lawson, Co-Captain Mitzcavitch. Coach DeRosa. Co-Captain Massarelli, Coach Collins. [ 51 ] fine runs by (.o-captJins Massardli and Mitzcavitcli set up the first touclulown of the game and made the store 6 to 0 in Maynard ' s favor. A pair of -lO-yard runs by Mitztavitth attountetl for two other Maynard touchdowns in tlie first lialf ami a pass from Torppa to Sluyski added one extra point. Toward tlie end of the second tjuarter, Marlboro went over after a sustained drive and the lialf ended with the score Maynard ly, Marlboro 7. In the second half Maynard continued to tlrivc and Massarelli scored in the third tjuarter. Torppa added the extra point. Then Marl- boro held Maynard and began to threaten. But the Maynard defense finally checked them and Jim Duggan scored for Maynard ' s fifth TD before the game ' s end. The final score was Maynard J 2, Marl- boro 7. MAYNARD 14 — PUNCHARD 19 ' I ' his game was played after a previous postpone- ment and both teams opened the game with a 3-4 record hopeful of balancing their win-loss records. The ball changed hands several times in the first c]uarter until the Punchard fullback raced around right end and with good blocking scampered 70 yards for a touchdown. The point was made on a run. Maynard threatened several times in the second quarter but Punchard ' s speedy backfield again got rolling and scored a second time before the half ended. The score was Punchard 13, Maynard 0. Punchard again began to threaten in the second half. They w ' ere momentarily stopped on a sensational interception by Phil Williams, but Maynard could not move the ball. Punchard then received a punt and on a sustained drive scored their third touch- down. Maynard ' s offence began to move in the fourth period. ' I ' hey moved down to the 3-yard line where Co-captain Mitzcavitch barrelled over. Torppa kicked the extra point. When Maynard got the ball again, they moved it to the Punchard 25-yard line where Jim Duggan went around right end and outraced the secondary for a touchdown. Torppa kicked the point but Maynard was offside. He converted on the .second try and the score was Punchard 19, Maynard 14. In the la.st 2 minutes of play, Maynard tried desperately to score again but could not. MAYNARD 7 — CLINTON 34 The Maynard squad took the field at Clinton on a chilly Thanksgiving morning in the hopes of bringing a victory to Maynard over its traditional rival. But an always-strong Clinton team would not be denied and in the first half scored three touchdowns. They were not penetrating Maynard’s line too well, but some tricky pass plays and great downfield running by Chick” Kerry, Midland League ' s leading scorer, enabled them to take a commanding lead. They scored again early in the third period, but after that Maynard buckled down and held them. Later in the second half, Maynard moved deep into Clinton territory and a pass from Torppa to Roger Murray was good for the touchdown. Torppa then converted and the score was 27 to 7. But late in the fourth period, Clinton took command and scored once more before the game ended. The entire squad is to be commended for exemplar)’ sportsmanship on the field. Although there were 3 wins to 6 losses, this football team strived at all times to bring home a victory. Such fine spirit made several of the games losses by a very small margin.

It was a wide open game with Clinton leading all the way. Trailing by quite a few points, Maynard staged a last period comeback, but ran out of time before they were able to even the score. Maynard Jay-vees were able to bring home a victory as they outfought Clinton right down to the last second for a 37-35 score. It was Pete Wilson with 12 points and Crotty with 11 in this tilt. MAYNARD vs. HUDSON Varsity Maynard 4l — Hudson 36 Junior Varsity Maynard 31 — Hudson 27 This game was deadlocked four times in a nip-and- tuck battle. The Milltowners usually led, with the Hawks making a game uphill battle. Maynard pulled out in front in the closing period on goals by their two aces, Roger Murray and Torppa. This constituted their winning margin. This win placed Maynard in third position in the League with two wins and a loss. Murray and Torppa were the big guns for Maynard as Roger controlled both boards and dropped in 16 points, while Torppa led the team with 18 points.

Roger Murray led the Maynard boys with 20 points, while Murphy was second with 14, and Sluyski, 12. It was in the third period that Maynard clinched the game, scoring 20 points to Franklin’s 7.

The game went into an overtime period, but Maynard was outscored by three points — the margin of defeat. MAYNARD vs. CLINTON Varsity Maynard 33 — Clinton 62 Junior Varsity Maynard 27 — Clinton 37 The determined Maynard squad was quickly assigned a task as Clinton took a 16-5 lead in the first period. This was enough for Clinton to stay on to|i de.spite Maynard ' s .second period spree. They outscored Clinton in this period 12-11 by bottling up C.linton ' s two .scorers, Elian and Ferry. In the second half, Clinton surged ahead. Maynard was outscored 35-13. Roger Murray, as usual, led May- nard ' s attack with 13 points.

The final score was Maynard 27, Clinton 37. MAYNARD vs. HUDSON Varsity Maynard 38 — Hudson 32 Junior Varsity Maynard 29 — Hudson 15 The Milltowners were victors in this low-scoring game, gaining a repeat win over the Hudson High quintet. This pushed Maynard up a notch in the League standing. Murray set the pace for the winners with 17 important points that kept the visitors out front throughout the game. The big third period with 15 points clinched the win for Maynard. In the preliminary Maynard made it two wins for the evening with the Junior Varsity quintet defeating the Hudson Jay-Vees 29-15.

TOWNSEND TOURNAMENT MAYNARD vs. TEWKSBURY Maynard 74 — Tewksbury 33 Maynard won a breath-taking tourney game by walloping Tewksbury 74 to 33. Maynard took the upper hand in the first quarter and kept Tewksbury down to 3 points, while the Owls racked up a 13-point lead and didn’t lose it from then on. Tewksbury was unable to break through our defensive players nor were they able to block the terrific shots of Captain Roger Murray and Don Torppa.

MAYNARD vs. WESTEORD Maynard 55 — Westford 50 Maynard nipped Westford 5 points to advance to the finals in the Townsend Tourney. It was a nip- and-tuck game with the Maynard Owls displaying the finest basketball playing ever seen. The Owls were led by the sharp shooting of Don Torppa. However, the staunch defense of Jim Duggan, Jerry Connors and Dick Sluyski could not go unrecognized. Captain Roger Murray did a terrific job on both defense and rebounds . Bill Murphy and Ted Clancy also did their part to make this game the finest of the season. It will be a long time before this game is forgotten. The two top scorers were Don Torppa and Jerry Connors with 19 points and 11 points, respectively. MAYNARD vs. LUNENBURG Maynard 63 — Lunenburg 51 In the final game of the Townsend Tourney, the Maynard Owls triumphed over Lunenburg before a very enthusiastic Maynard crowd. Maynard got off to a slow start with Lunenburg taking a lead of 10 points in the first quarter. It was almost impossible for the Owls to break through the well-balanced defense of the Lunenburg team. In the second quarter the Maynard fans nearly went wild as the black and orange made their way back into the game picking up 15 points. Just as Maynard was really moving the buzzer sounded ending the first half with the score Lunenburg 26, Maynard 22. During intermission the Sudbury cheerleaders led the Maynard fans in a few cheers. It gave the team [ 55 } .1 new spark and it was a gesture much appreciated by the Maynard fans. After intermission the Maynard Owls returned fresh and inspired anew to figlit to even up the game. Tlie team was lead by Ciaptain Murray and Torppa, who between them totaled 49 points. The tight defense of Duggan, Cionnors, Clancy and Sluyski kept the Lunenburg players running and they were only able to score 25 points in the second half. Maynard was able to pick up 4l points. It seemed that whatever Lunenburg did to press Maynard, they still came through to win the Cla.ss A Division, Townsend Tourney. Upon winning the Class A Division championship of the Townsend Tourney, each player received a miniature silver basketball. They also brought home two trophies, one of which will be permanently possessed by Maynard High. The other must be won three years for permanent possession.
