19 THE SCREECH OWL Bennie Piecewicz “Silence is one great art of conver- sation — Track 2. Bennie has caused no commotion as yet, but that can’t go on forever. When he begins — ! Harvey Priest “What’s the use of worrying.” Inter-class Football 3. Harvey has the Chinese philosophy of life — let come what may, remain calm and unflurried; he is excited by nothing, not even by taking charge of a room. Charles Servio “It is the quiet worker who suc- ceeds.” One of the most quiet boys in his class and yet — who can tell — he might be of the “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” variety. Bashful boys are rare now-a-days, and even “Char- lie” is preparing for a quiet (?) home life — he’s taking up manual training. Walter Smith “I mind my compass and my way.” We never see much of Walter out- side of school. What is the secret? Do you find places to go, and things to do? Tauno Tamminen “The secret of success is constancy to purpose.” President of Sophomore Class. Tauno, whom we remember as one of the high-lights of the class, has returned after a two years’ absence. What do you think of it, Tauno? Winnifred Tobin “Those about her, From her shall learn the perfect ways of honor.” Vice-President of Junior Class, Class Secretary 4 ; Commence- ment Exercises Committee 4. If anyone in the Class of ’33 attains success, “Winnie” will be the one. Her last year at school has been especially difficult, as she has worked in the afternoons. Yet in spite of this she is seldom blue, al- ways does her best, and has been known to take time out with with a particular ex-Senior. Joseph Trebendis “Measure your mind’s height by the shade it casts.” Student Council. “Joe” is a shining example of effi- ciency from the Commercial De- partment and has the reputation of being a boy who seldom smiles. He is quiet and supposedly never does any “stepping.” Keep up the good work, “Joe.” (In more ways than one.) Toivo Wick “He who says little has nothing to answer for.” Toivo seldom says anything and to some he seems to be continually dreaming about something or other. Whether this sleepy aspect comes from the thoughts of great things to be done or feminarum, we must remind you that — all great men were dreamers.

18 THE SCREECH OWL Dorothea Hannon “As full of spirit as the month of May.” French Play 4 ; Physical Education Exhibition 1. Dorothea is thought of in conjunc- tion with French, Latin, and Art. Don’t forget, Dorothea, “Keep your tints separate, no blending.” Edwin Helander “Hang sorrow ! Care’ll kill a cat.” Competition Play 2. If you see some red in the air it’s no fire but “Red’s” hair. He is one of the few boys that really blush. Show us how, will you “Red?” Oiva Hintsa “All men have eyes, but few the gift of penetration.” Inter-class Basketball 3, 4 ; Track 3, 4 ; Football 2, 3, 4. Oiva, the great big little man of the football squad, always gets com- plete attention when he begins a recitation ; you never can tell what’ll come out ! Tauno Kangas “Then he will talk — good gods! how he will talk!” Inter-class Basketball 1 ; Soccer 2 ; Physical Education Exhibition 1, 2, 3 ; Glee Club 4. Tauno, the future Einstein, l : ves in the 4th dimension, and confounds the teachers with his original methods. More power to you, Biffo ! Ralph Lent “A gentleman and a student.” Baseball 4. Ralph is quiet but he is coming out on the surface. Do you expect to take a P. G. in the Commercial Room? Lempi Marjama “Isn’t cupid a knavish lad, Thus to make poor females mad?” Lempi, do you like the underclass “men?” Please don’t get angry, we are just a little curious. John Murphy “Mirth is a sure cure for all troubles.” Operetta 3; Class Play 3; Inter- class Basketball 2, 3 ; Student Council 1 ; Usher 2 ; Physical Education Exhibition 1, 2, 3, 4; Christmas Social Committee 4 ; School Play 4 ; A. A. Social Com- mittee 4; Screech Owl 4; Foot- ball 3, 4. Uuno Norgoal “Now — I’ll say something to re- member.” Uuno, who never causes a commo- tion, — when are you going to make some excitement? Stella Novick “On time all the time.” Stella, who has graduated one of the highest in ranks, is well-liked by all the pupils. Sylvia Nyholm “Happy-go-lucky.” Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4 ; Basketball Captain 3 ; Hockey 3, 4 ; Screech Owl Staff, 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee, 3; “Breezin’ Along ’ 4. This seems to be ’nuff said. John O’Toole “He has the sixth sense — a sense of humor.” Football 4; Sprig Jig Committee 4; Ring Committee 3. The liveliest boy of his class, John is always coming out with some bit of humor that makes even the teachers crack a smile.

20 THE SCREECH OWL Toini Williams “Loathing pretense she did with cheerful will What others talked of while their hands were still.” Christmas Social Committee 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Commencement Exercises Committee 4.
