THE SCREECH OWL to Leah Ojanen. Class Secretary. Leah is the most popular girl of our class. Her ready smile com- bined with her pleasing personality has won many friends for her. She has worked hard as a class officer and deserves much credit. Marion Peterson. “Pete” Leader of Glee Club. What would the Glee Club do without Marion’s faithful leader- ship? On the Commercial side, Marion is the “life of the course”. She’s a great favorite among her friends who feel they could not do without her. Hazel Phillips. Hazel is another quiet member of the class. She’s a steady worker and ought to succeed. Grace Ployart. “Gay” French Club, Dramatic Club, “Screech Owl” Staff. Grace fills a niche in class which no other Senior could take. Al- ways jolly, the worst pessimist has to smile when “Gay” is around. She always manages to see the bright side of everything, even a long homework assignment. Hazel Priest. “Screech Owl” Staff. Hazel is noted for diligence among her classmates. Duty always comes first with Hazel. She would certainly be capable of holding a responsible position and we feel sure she will be successful as a business woman. Esther Salo. French Club. Esther is not very fond of home- work! She’s inclined to grumble when a long assignment is given out — but then, we all sympathize with her and she always does her lessons just the same. When Esther looks into space, you may know she’s dreaming some vision and is not merely absent-minded. She also sells candy at recess ! Helen Salo. “Screech Owl” Staff. Helen’s dimples are coveted by several of her classmates, but they don’t seem to bother Helen. She’s a very efficient worker and is de- veloping into quite a poetess! If you haven’t read her poems, we recommend them to you. Frances Piecewicz. Glee Club. Frances is another rather jolly girl. She seems to get a great deal of enjoyment out of life. She, too, plans to enter the business world. Mary Sheridan. Glee Club. Mary’s very good-natured and reliable. Just the type for a nurse, and we all feel she has chosen her profession wisely. Elizabeth Slimond. Glee Club. As a “matter of fact”, Elizabeth is the soloist of our class. If there is no limit to high notes, there is no telling how high Elizabeth may reach. Her ambition is to reach high C. Edward Vodoklys. “Eddie” Class President. “Eddie” is frequently known as the baby of the class, regardless of his honorable position as president. His perpetual smile is the proof of a pleasant disposition.

THE SCREECH OWL 9 askecl — and the rest of us didn ' t have time to learn it— and it means an afternoon session if someone doesn’t know — we look to Tynne ! She never fails us ! It is an un- lucky class which doesn’t have a Tynne and we appreciate ours. Sylvia Lindfors. Sylvia doesn’t say very much in school, but she is persistent in a quiet way! It is a good trait to have. Flamme Lombard. “Flip” Flamme supplies the comedy to an otherwise prosaic class. How dull classes would be without Flamme’s original sayings to light- en the gloom. Helen Lyons. Helen is always pleasant and is welcome everywhere. Just now she’s interested in Mason’s. Perhaps she’s planning to study masonry! How about it, Helen? Ranghild Mark. Pres. Girls’ A. A., Captain Basketball. Ranghild not only holds the title of class beauty, but she’s the most athletic girl as well. With such a good start, she ought to advance rapidly in the business world. Geneva Martin. “Neva” “Neva” has the title of “good girl” of the class. We feel sure she deserves it and hope she’ll always remain the jolly “Neva” of high school days. Margaret Moore. “Peg” Pres. French Club. Glee Club, Student Council, “Screech Owl” Staff, Dramatic Club. Margaret’s brilliance has always been a subject of wonder to her classmates! No matter what reci- tation she has, or how little she’s studied the lesson, she always knows the right answer. “Peg ’ shines brightest in Latin, and we advise her to choose Latin as her subject to teach. Dorothy Mosher. “Dot” “Dot” is one of those fortunate people who never seem to worry. She takes things as they come, without grumbling and is always ready to smile with someone else. Good luck to you, “Dot” ! Ruth Moynihan. French Club, Track, Dramatic Club, “Screech Owl” Staff. Snapping brown eyes — a piquant nose — a merry laugh ! Add to this a great deal of pep and a broad sense of humor, a nd you have— Ruth! If there can possibly be a funny side to anything, Ruth sees it! We’d surely hate to lose Ruth, for half the zest in school life would be gone. Phyllis Naylor. “Phil” French Club — “Screech Owl” Staff. “Phil” specializes in jokes! Any- time you want to know the latest joke or want a new one, apply to Phyllis! She’s also a good tennis player, especially strong on serving ! Gerald Nee. “Jerry” Captain Baseball, Football, Pres. Student Council, Track. “Jerry” is rather fond of canoe- ing, but we advise him not to go too early in the spring ; the water’s apt to be cold! We hope “Jerry” will always be as deliberate in his future undertakings as he is when pitching a game for us.

THE SCREECH OWL 11 Lillian Weaving. “Lil” Student Council, Glee Club. “Lil” is very determined, once she makes up her mind to do a thing. She’s quite a star in tennis, and shows promise of rivaling Helen Wills ! Leo Weckstrom. “Sleepy” Leo is quite a talented member of the class. His skill as a trom- bone player is well-known and we expect to see him advance rapidly in music. He’s also famous for wit! We couldn’t get along with- out “Sleepy”. Ruth Wilson. Class Treasurer, Student Coun- cil, “Screech Owl” Staff, Glee Club, French Club. “I take all knowledge to be my province.” Yes, Ruth is a real student. We all admire her and feel that she will win fame with her pen. Ernest Wollerschied. “Ernie” “Ernie” is one of the faithful members of the class. He is also kn own as the “good boy” of the class. R. I. W., ’27. A REVERIE After the day is done, and the shadows of night have pervaded the land, when your heart is filled with the thoughts, doubts, and questions of the day and your soul sick with the sordidness it has gathered through the day, what could be better than a silent con- sultation with yourself, under the glory of the heavens with its mantle of stars and solitary moon. It is then, alone with yourself and Maker, that the true meaning of life unfolds before you. How un- important seem your troubles, your thoughts, and worries when the full splendor of the firmament lies be- fore you ! How insignificant you seem, your greatest efforts and ac- complishments, and how worthless your ambitions, hopes, and f ears! With this realization come ques- tions, which from the depth of your heart, on the altar of Truth you are compelled to answer. “What have I ever done for the good of some one else? Have I done my best with a cheerful heart, accept- ing the faults of others with tolera- tion? Have I always done what I thought was right, without thought
