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.

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.

22 THE SCREECH OWL Julia May “Who mixes reason with pleasure, and wisdom with worth.” Manager of Field Hockey (4); Hockey Social Com- mittee (4). The perfect commercial student, intelligent, efficient, and understanding, is Julia. Yet she has another side, and once out of school Julia has led more than one swain a merry chase. James Murphy “Methinks I hear in accents low, A sportive-like reply.” Baseball (2), (3), (4). Which makes everything all right again, if ever any- thing is wrong! Don ' t let the picture fool you. Murphy ' s a good natured chap, easy to get along with; and he just can ' t wipe that grin off his face, even when ordered to do so in the sternest tones. Edison Murray “I have an exposition of sleep come upon me.” In spite of the fact that a class-room atmosphere always makes Edison drowsy, we’ve more than a suspicion that he keeps one eye open, and misses but little that goes on. He ' s probably “getting in condition” for big things after he leaves high school. Frederick Newman “From the crown of his head to the sole of his foot, he is all mirth.” Football Team (4); Track (3), (4). Fred might be unclassically termed the Senior’s “funnybone.” He has the gift of being able to make anyone laugh (even the most hardened teachers). Of one thing we ' re certain— with that sense of humor Freddie, you’ll always “get by”. John O’Leary “In medias res.” Football (1), (2), (3), (4); Track (1), (2), (3), (4); Interclass Basketball (1), (2), (3), (4); Class Treasurer (2) ; Prom Committee (3) ; Picture Com- mittee (3) ; President, Student Council (4) ; Captain Football (4); Class Play (2).
