24 THE SCREECH OWL James Mullin — “Moon” Jim is the tall, blonde, football hero of the class. His favorite mode of express- ing himself is “bubbling over.” Jim’s unhappy knack of being in the wrong place at the wrong time is sometimes relieved by his famous “That’s all right.” Incidentally, Jim doesn’t have to eat Wheaties to have adventures. Cecelia Nelson — “Curly” There’s truth in the proverb, “Good things came in small packages.” Don’t we know it, finding this package full of energy and smiles? Find Nettie and there’s Cele, or listen for Cele and find Net. We expect to see Curly bounce out on the top of her chosen profession. Christopher Newman — “Chris” At times one see a lad towering above the tumult about him, proceeding un- moved by the surrounding animation, but deep in the meditations and ideals of that higher element. In such a case, one can never fail to recognize Chris — the demon of slow motion. Mark Newton — “Mickie” Mickie’s career has been somewhat ad- venturous. Dashing is the word for Mick, both regarding the cinder track and the fair sex. John Nowick — “Doc” Doc makes a habit of keeping his sunny side up. Even golf doesn’t ruffle his equanimity. Doc’s pep puts him across as a student as well as an athlete.

THE SCREECH OWL 23 Dorothy Marsden — “Dot” Brilliance in studies and athletics has characterized Dot’s high school career. She is the busiest girl of the school, but she is always there to lend a hand. Dot does everything well. Can we say more ? Sidney McCleary — “Sid” Famous saying: “There ought to be a system.” It isn’t everyone who can look like a professor and keep out of jail. Sid drops his dignified mien to become a detective hot on the trail of a stray penny for the Screech Owl. Sid’s suc- cessful “system” in Stow is beginning to make a convert of us. Esther Murray You want to watch Esther — she’s full of surprises. Such innocence can’t be true. ’Fess up, Esther. Lois Murray Lois, you must understand, is the quiet kind — but she always knows when to do the right thing. She, of all of us, has the habit of letting the teachers lecture undisturbed. Probably it’s a sisterly feeling. Margaret Murray — “Peg” Peg is one of the actresses of the class. Her ability was proved in the Senior play and the operetta. Peg is some entertainer. Remember her with her uke on the sleigh ride? We think Peg ought to go on the stage or on the “air.”

THE SCREECH OWL 25 Edith Priest Edith likes secluded spots — especially Forrests. This, however, does not pre- vent her from helping the class out of many a rut. Edith has filled her Senior year with many outside courses. In other words, the branches of education have many twigs. WeM like to ask, “Is Edith sentimental?” Rudolph K. Saari — “Banan” Will probably be manager or owner of a shoe store after he graduates. He’s had plenty of experience. Rudolph re- ceived his numerals for inter-class foot- ball. And is he bashful ? Ask the Senior girls about it. Vera Saluski This shy business pupil takes her school work seriously. Besides homework, Vera loves a good stick of Wrigley’s gum. Please, Vera, when cooking, pay more attention to your doughnuts. June Katherine Sawyer — “Junie” June has the distinction of being the vice-president of her class the most popular girl, and the j oiliest girl. Where does “Junie” get her jokes? Probably “Buster,” “Hobie,” “Freddie,” “Bob,” “Jimmy,” or somebody else could tell you. Simmon Seder Simmy is an athlete, actor, student, and also an explorer of the wiles of Virginia. Versatile, — what ?
