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).

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.

THE SCREECH OWL 23 Jorma Osmo “Bad excuses are worse than none.” Prom Committee (3); Reception Committee (4); Track (3), (4); Interclass Football (1), (2). When you hear a crooning tune, Sung about the Commercial Room, Just look around and Jorma you’ll see, For crooning is his future to be. Mabel Palmer “And I smile and I talk with the sun in my face.” Whenever Mabel is around there is no chance for gloom. With her ever-ready humor, this bright lass of the Commercial Room keeps her classmates in gales of laughter. Always keep your youthful spirits, Mabel! Ralph Pekkala “He walks scholarly, reflective paths.” But on the other hand, he often shoots ahead into the future along the paths of imagination. Perhaps he will be an architect some day, and fill up that hole in the middle of the town — who knows? A high honor pupil, and chosen the most intellectual, he seems the kind who will go far. Joseph Piecewicz “With the skill of a Matty And the speed of a Cobb.” Baseball (1), (2), (3); Captain (4); Basketball (1), (2), (3), (4); Captain, Interclass. “Joe” is one reason why the Seniors can boast of so many victories in interclass sports, and another reason why the baseball team has been so successful in recent years. Add to that a few well chosen words concerning a good pal and there you have “Joe” all over. Joseph Pileeki “Life’s a jest, and all things show it, I thought so once and now I know it.” To appreciate Bud’s humor one must know him intimately, for to all outward appearances he is a very serious - minded person. Whenever the teacher is out of the room he provides the entertainment for his pals and keeps them in a constant uproar.
