10 THE SCREECH OWL Alice Osbeck We had to inquire a bit about Alice, because we always thought her quiet and sedate. Deah, deah, how prone we are to erroneous conclusions. Elizabeth Murray “Scotty” “Scotty” is always willing to aid the Senior cause and the basketball team. Did anyone ever tell Scotty that a school day was worth $5.00? Mary Paul Mary would just love to know why Sally doesn ' t get sore. Maybe be- cause Mary does so often. Doris Prescott Doris can win your heart without even trying. When Doris realizes her ambition and has a beauty parlor, how the men will patronize it. Aune Rasanen Aune is one of the exponents of the theory that silence is golden. Not many left who believe in that nowa- days. Herbert Ruotsala Another of the strong, silent men of the class of ’29. We suspect that he will be a success in the business world. Vieno Rahkonen Before tests Vieno laments, after- wards she bewails. What a life! Violet Riley How like her name — shy and retir- ing — but even violets must have their season. Stanley Sienkiewicz “Steamer” We have heard that Stanley is get- ting his training for his future voca- tion of Sup’t of Schools right here. Don’t you love the way “Steamer” looks over the corridors from the office door? Madeline Smith “Maddie” “Maddie” is a very demure little lady, and every inch a lady. Her friends appreciate her quiet sense of humor. A sense of humor is one of the nicest things we know, and “Maddie” is one of the nicest girls we know. Ralph Smith “Smitty” “ ’Tis I, desperate Ambrose.” Impi Sneck Ask Impi if pasteurized milk is good. Josephine Stuka “Josie” Is there any green in my eyes? J. J. Sczerzen Censored ! Waino Sjoblom “Speck” “Speck” is best known now as the hero of a well known song. But we know him for many other things, namely, president of ’29, editor of this publication, and an all ’round good sport. Gerald Tierney “Jerry” Famous exponent of “Film Fun” and “Whiz Bang”. Sydney Trask “Polonius” It isn’t everyone who can act and look like a professor and keep out of jail. Tauno Torppa “Tonski” Tell us, oh Tonski, the secret of sleep. He grins. “The secret of sleep?” He yawns. “The secret — what’s that guy’s name — Keats — ‘Beauty is sleep, sleep beauty.’ ” But occasionally he wakes up. Gertrude Weaving “Gert” Find another like Gert — yes, go ahead.

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.

THE SCREECH OWL 11 Irma Wirta It’s hard for us to reconcile that uproariously funny Citronella, dusky in hue, with the girl who got “A” on her Burke test. And now we hear she’s going to be a nurse — well, there’s nothing like being versatile. Keep it up, Irma, we’re with you. Irving Wooldridge Irving is one of those calm, cool, and collected persons. But about that last adjective, who collected him? Jennie Zwirblia Jennie is a comparative newcomer to the class of ’29. We refer you to the class statistics for her failing. How do they do it?
