THE SCREECH OWL 19 Raymond Koskela “He moves about with unconcern, Of appearance tall and stern.” What goes on behind that placid visage, we do not know, for Raymond is a sort of Leather-stocking II, dwelling in a world apart; a lover of wilderness and adventure, ever roving West that is, West Concord. Martha Koski “Music washes away from the soul the dust of every- day life.” Orchestra (1), (2), (3), (4); Manager (4); Mandolin Club (4). We never hear Martha say much, but she tells us about herself, as words never could, with her violin. Tho’ modest and unassuming, she will make her place in the sun with little difficulty. Andrew Kozak “Come and trip it as you go On the light fantastic toe.” Andy ' s favorite occupation is dancing. Wherever a dance is going on you can be quite sure you will find him there. Lots of luck, Andy, in your new job as Special Delivery Boy. Adolph Kurowski “Nought but images; lifelike but lifeless; wonderful, but dead.” Newton discovered Gravity, but Adolph made a greater discovery: Slow Motion. Good work Adolph, we look forward to more of your discoveries. Waino Laasanen “Music hath power to charm the toiler But mine hath power to burst a boiler.” Football (4). Waino has provided the comedy for our class all through high school. We hope that he will continue to possess the same humorous outlook on life as he has displayed all these years. Lots of luck, Waino.

18 THE SCREECH OWL Fred Johnson “Who mixes reason with pleasure and wisdom with mirth!” Football (2), (3). Fred is well known in several fields. Besides being an athlete of repute, he is an orator of no mean ability. Tack on to those the quality of being appreciative of both good literature and social life, and you have our “good fellow.” Howard Johnson “Fate tried to conceal him by naming him Johnson.” Manager of Basketball (4). The Seniors expect great things of Howard. Rather than being serious as most intellectual people are, Howard has a ready wit that can be best appreciated when he is imitating Joe Penner. Good luck to you, Howyl Edwin Katvala “From China to Peru, He pleasure doth pursue.” Calling all cars .... calling all cars .... 1930 sedan missing, registration number 40371; driver, a tall blonde wearing a grey suit; car last seen in the vicinity of West Acton, Mass., with a Niagara Falls pennant tacked on the roof. Calling all cars .... James King “Good sense and good nature are never separated.” Play Competition (1). Jimmie is proof enough that even Stow can produce happy specimens of boyhood. Jimmie was justly chosen the friendliest boy in the class. Stella Kocknowicz “Laugh at your friends, and if they get sore, you can laugh at them all the more.” Stella is a very quiet girl. Since she entered school she has been making friends for herself. She likes everyone, and everyone likes her. She is also clev er and is sure to make an efficient secretary.

20 THE SCREECH OWL Nicholas Lalli “He like a patient angler, ’ere he strook, Would let them play awhile upon the hook.” Dark-eyed, and with a slow smile on his face, “Nicky” moves about, never hurrying, never excited. He is chiefly known for his fishing, but he also takes a great delight in playing guessing games, and in work- ing hard to get out of a little work. George Lehto “There was no joy in Mudville town, For mighty Casey had struck out.” Baseball (2), (3), (4). Fishing, chasing lost golf balls, and pitching baseballs are among George’s more widely known hobbies, but there is one activity which he confines to the sacred precincts of his own home. There, poring over the weekly song-sheets, he indulges in unrestrained vocal exertions.. Helen Lehto “I am Ruthless!” Glee Club (2), (3); “Riding Down the Sky” (2). Helen is distinguished for the authorship of her own quotation. But we challenge the authenticity of her statement. Witness her sister and bodyguard. Helen is also noted for her high ambition; she wants to be tall. Marion Lent “She speaks, behaves and acts just as she ought.” “Riding Down the Sky” (2). Marion exemplifies the ideal student. Although she is very sedate, we have found that she enjoys an abund- ance of good humor. Stanley Loika “The mildest manner in the bravest mind.” Those who know Stanley recognize him as a true friend, always obliging. We are sure his kind personality and intelligence will bring him success.
