Time 1982 Place New York City We are gathered on this glorious evening to pay tribute to a man who because of his diligence, per- severance and incomparable mental efficiency has achieved greatness. This man we all love and admire not only for his intellectual prowess, but for his love of humanity. Tonight it gives us great pleasure to honor Dr. Frederick Sivonen, world famous nuclear physicist. Dr. Sivonen,” come from the masses and accept this seat of honor, here amongst your friends. This little group on stage will assist me in bridging the gap from past to present. We have with us on this glofiojis evening — Merely Hydrogen (Meredith Lerer) your childhood sweetheart, Bertha Bomb (Pauline Kavaleski) your third grade teacher, Bunsen H. Burner (Nick Drozdowski) your high school science teacher, and the principals of the Junior and Senior High Schools who have just returned from a National Conference of Principals. Mr. Bunsen Burner has found for us the Alumni Bulletin of the class of ’57. We know you will be pleased to hear of the success of your friends! Great fame has been brought to the class by David Laasanen, Edwin Hatfield, and Paul Denesiuk who represented Maynard on the gold medal hockey team at this year’s Olympics. Also outstanding at the Olympics were Daniel Mulcahy, International Judo Champ, who won the black belt with the malachite studs, and Brenda Drechsler, who won the shot-put champion. James Lydon, American Ambas- sador to Lapland, and his charming wife, Carol Lawson, presented the trophies to the American champs. It was a shame that two foreigners from upper Ubania, Fred Chandler and Richard Carlton, won the hop-scotch championship, Fred, of course, had previously won the all world” chess champion- ship beating Carlton in the preliminaries. Much of Fred’s success must be attributed to Shirley Marsh, his manager. Reporters covering the 1982 Olympics did a fine job in high-lighting the Maynardites. Punchy Pajunen of the New Yak Times — you remember him — the originator of the famous Howdy Duley cartoon used so widely in advertising the Tobin Tonic for Tipsy Tummies • — • was especially fascinated by Brenda’s trainer, Albert Hellawell who introduced a new technique. Maynard has also made a name for itself in other fields. For example, Joanne Johnson, prompter for Gina Lollobrigida, has done so well that she is now working for Walt Disney — the voice of Cinderella. Prom Queen, Janet Priest and members of her court, Mary Grigas, Christine Mansfield, and Jeanne Grandell, are now truly famous. We saw them recently at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre — placing their footprints in cement beside those of Trigger and Lassie. Many Maynard grads are in California, Arthur Anderson working on smog control — it will never 27
