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.

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.

THE SCREECH OWL 21 Joseph Lubin “There ' s no riding to Heaven in a sedan.” Why do all the girls find a certain Tydol Station so interesting, — or maybe it is something else? What girl wouldn ' t find Joe and his Chevrolet an asset.? Morris Luoto “Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you. ' ' Murry is one of those persons who never have a worry or a care. We hear that his ambition is to lead an adventurous life on the high seas where he will be far away from all Problems of Democracy. John Malcolm “Men ' s like bullets, go farthest when they are smoothest. ' ' Play Competition (1), (2); Student Council; Football (1), (2), (3), (4); Basket-ball (1); Baseball (1). Johnny has earned the title of “Romeo of the Class of ' 34. ' ' What girl hasn ' t been charmed by either Johnny’s melodious voice or his superb football talent? Ruth Marsden “A woman ' s oath are wafers, break with making.” Basketball (1); Field Hockey (2); Play (2); Glee Club (23). When mother was a girl things were quiet. But daughter, OH! Her ambition is to be confidential secretary to the firm of Wasiuk Pyszka. Max Matson “The hand that hath made you fair hath also made you good.” Max pretends to be very bashful. We, however, were quite skeptical as to his bashfulness when we learned that he pays very regular attention to a fair lady on Thompson Street.
