THE CLASS OF 1929 Elizabeth Binks “Binkie” “Binkie” is a perfect example of the enervating effect of a southern climate. Have you ever seen “Binkie” hurry ? Jane Boicourt “Jean” We wonder if Jean is not an ab- breviation for Genius? ’Nuff sed! Ruth Bradley So Ruth, of the artistic tempera- ment, is going to be a school-teacher. It will be quite a saving for her school not to have to buy poetry books — Ruth will be able to write all the verse they need. George Brayden “Pie” “Pie” is a popular little boy all around — you know, don’t you — always around except for assignments. Frank Chyzus “Frink” Frank moves rather slowly — shuffles as it were. He participates in class discussion once in a while — what a surprise. He will come through all right, however. Albert Connors “Al” Such popularity must not be un- deserved! We’ve even trusted him with the funds of ’29. We wonder where the hard-to-get boy got his technique ? Alice Donahue Alice sings like a nightingale — did you know she plans to be a nurse — a kind of Florence Nightingale com- bination ! Helen Dudzinski Not boisterous is Helen, but she always does the right thing. Another ardent advocate of the demure maid- enly type. Edith Elson “Edie” Edith is difficult to talk about, but she can write short stories. Albert Fairbanks “Al” Another prospective ecclesiastic surrounded by evils — us. Tauno Frigard “Horse” Remember the time “Horse” had a black eye? Resu lt of a party? Oh, no, we know “Horse’s sobriety. We have a feeling somehow that May- nard has produced an athlete that we are going to hear more of. George Glickman “Glickie” How difficult to argue with “Glickie” when he argues with you. We told him so, but he volubly denied it. Bernard Greene “Bunny” Not so green as his name — quite the contrary. Laura Grondahl Unlike the rest of us — this lady looks intelligent. In addition she is. Esther Hardy Esther is dependable — but when it comes to Bunsen burners we are skeptical. John Hearon “Zip” Oh, yes, — he’s some Romeo, he ad- mits it himself. His talents lead to dancing. He leads Walker in Room 14 at recess. Did he lead him astray?

THE SCREECH OWL 7 haps even in surpassing them, by building on the foundation they have laid. The “Screech Owl” will be especial- ly conscious of a loss, when its most faithful and industrious workers leave it for higher fields. It is up to us to make up for the loss by greater effort and zeal. New forces are always rising, and if there is the will, there is the ability. Meet the challenge ! Let us take this opportunity to express our appreciation of the work of the departing seniors, and also of that of the members of the faculty who are leaving us, and to wish them success in all their future under- takings.

THE SCREECH OWL 9 Sarah Hellawell “Sally” There are students and students, but not Sally. How about it? Uno Hietanen “Granny” We may say that this gentleman is seldom seen and less heard of. “Granny” may object to that final preposition, because “Granny” says to whom and not to who. Helmi Hiipakka Her hair, her eyes, and her disposi- tion are all sunny. Even her friends like her. Irma Howard Her face is calm, her manners quiet. What is the recipe, Irma? Mary Howe “Bunny” Mary may seem quiet, but she can squander time in conversation. Teppo Hurme Music hath its charms. Mary Kane “Speck” Is Mary popular? We’ll say — Oh, Hezekiah ? Tyyne Kangas Good things come in small pack- ages — just as they come in twos. Did you get it ? Julia Kaziukonis Julia has distinguished herself in these halls by her charming disposi- tion. One never knows whether to approach or not. We recommend her for the reception committee, Arvi Ketola Arvi certainly has high ideas even if he has kept his feet on the ground while in Maynard High. Don’t fly too high. Howard King “Howie” The “Screech Owl” staff voted to exempt Howie from all slams — pub- lic opinion wouldn’t have it. Every- body swears by him, but not being profane, we say it with sincerity. James King “Jim” The Commercial Seniors surely are glad that Jim takes English first period — even if his answers are some- times wrong. William King “Bill” We have always wondered why Bill looked so yearningly in a certain direction until one day we discovered Helen. Also Bill believes that the ability to spell is born in a person. Lyyli Kivinen We hope that Lyyli finds the world an agreeable place. When you break the silence, will you explain the pout ? Virginia Lawson “Bunny” Even when we can’t see her, we recognize Bunny by her giggle. What changes time has wrought ! Time and a Pontiac. Hanna Lehto Hanna could tell us that it takes intelligence to bluff! And does that girl dance? And how! Elizabeth Leithead “Liz” We hope that some day Shake- speare meets Elizabeth and explains certain things about those awful plays! And we know why she comes to school at 7 A. M. Sylvia Linna Behold the inscrutable, the unfath- omable — the Sphinx of the 20th C. How few can claim intimate acquaint- ance with her or understanding of her. We suspect unplumbed depths, however. Laura Merrill She it is who demurely lets her teachers lecture undisturbed. Laura never says much, but we wonder what she thinks. Melville Mosher “Mellie” Taciturnity personified. Margaret Murphy “Marge” Sis-boom-bah ! ! That’s Marge.
