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?

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.
