20 THE SCREE CH OWL Gertiude Huhtamaki — “Gerf “Gerf is the possessor of a most pleas- ing personality. If you want to know the extent of her popularity, attend one of the Thursday night “Coffee Dances.’ Ask “Gert” if she believes in “spooks.” Reino Hiefanen — “Buddy” Reino Hietanen, a human skyscraper, Has a face as long as sticky flypaper; He looks on the world with woe Because he’s refused by Miss So and So, Ahti Jaakkola Ahti Jaakkola is such a demon, When he’s around the girls start screamin’. For Ahti is a true-born sheik Always will be, till he’s six feet deep! John Karpeichik — “Hokey” Champion soda shaker of the Seniors, Very temperamental — 99% temper, 1% mental. He likes athletics, dancing, and walking (alone). Mary Kasziewicz To those of us who have the good luck to know her intimately, Mary is a per- sonification of sociability, and what’s more, she’s “been places and seen things.” We’ll miss her winning smile and her quiet manner.

THE SCREECH OWL 19 Jeanette Gruber — “Nettie” Nettie’s activity in all fields is respon- sible for her being the “Best All-Round Girl.” Who do you suppose blushes when Nettie says, “He knows I like him.” Eva Gudzinowicz — “Peanut” It’s “Peanut’s” bright and cheery smile that puts the life into the Commercial department. She has taken active part in athletics throughout her four years in High School. We wonder whose gold football “Peanut” is wearing! Forrest Hartin — “Forrie” In our opinion “Forrie’s” qualified to write “The Trials and Tribulations of an Egg Man,” but to quote another famous personage: “there are compensations.” (??) As one egg to another, happy settings, “Forrie.” Toini Holt Do Gentlemen prefer Blondes? Toini’s popularity and full dance programmes should prove that, despite all the talk, gentlemen do still prefer blondes. Leona Howard Leona appears to be quiet, but you ought to see her annoying her neighbors in school. She has become devoted to tennis, and even plays hide-and-go-seek.

THE SCREECH OWL 21 Lauri Katvala Lauri is the “strong: and silent” type, whose feelings are revealed only in Art ( ?) . But we are reminded that “Art is everything and everything is Art.” Ethel Kivela Ethel’s ability as an athlete and actress is partly responsible for her popularity. Ethel’s cheery smile is a great help in these times of depression. Blanche Kochnowicz — “Broncia” Little (?) girl of the seniors — Snoopy Sam predicts a visit from Hymen — But ah — ah — who is he, “Broncia”? She’s Newberry’s “Million Dollar Baby.” Michael Kozak — “Mike” “Mike” gave the Special Delivery depart- ment a boost when he came in on his bicycle. Keep on peddling, Mike, you’ll surely reach the top. Eleanor Lawson — “Elly” Famous saying: “0 nerts!” “Elly” is the beauty of the class, the inspiration of some, but the puzzle of many. The “beautiful but dumb” maxim does not fit in this case. In a few years someone’s going to have a snappy secretary. She’s supposed to be really, a “stay-at-home girl,” but we wonder!
