26 THE SCREECH OWL Alvin Fraser “ His words were oaks in acorns; and his thoughts were roots that firmly gript the granite truth ” Baseball (1) (2) (3) (4); Football (3) (4); Captain (4); Inter-class Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4); Class President (1) (2); Student Council (1) (2); Junior Prom Committee (3); Senior Private Dance Committee (4); Senior Banquet Committee (4); Picture Committee (4); “The Hoodoo” (4); “The Arrival of Kitty” (4); Screech Owl ” (4); Class Night Speaker. Just look at those activities — need we say more? Peter Gilleney “Has thou ever worked for the Love of Work alone?” Track (1) (2) (3) (4); Football (3) (4); Inter-class Basket- ball (1) (2) (3) (4); Student Council (4); Reception Com- mittee (4); Class Treasurer (1) (2). Although “Pete” and work do not get along very well, “Pete” and other things (??) do. Best wishes, Pete, to you and your conquests. William Glickman “ Moderate , resolute, Whole in himself, a common good” Tennis (1) (2); “Breezing Along” (1); “ Screech Owl” (3) (4). William, although small, is a very clever and diligent student and a fine boy. This only proves the saying “Good things come in small packages.” No doubt William will continue the good work in whatever he may do. Taido Grecula “So many worlds, so much ado, So little done, such things to do” Little is known about Taido’s private life, but we presume that it is connected with that of a petite blonde Senior. Teuvo Grecula “To me is given so much hope I know not fear” Teuvo is the smaller of that famous team of cut-ups knows as the Grecula Bros. Teuvo seems rather bashful and inconspicuous among the seniors, but when around certain freshmen, or perhaps a certain freshman, matters are quite different.

THE SCREECH OWL 25 Irene Dudzinski “ The hand that hath made you fair hath also made you good. ” “Screech Owl” (4); Vice-President of Class (1) (2) (3) (4); Student Council (1) (2); Hockey (1) (2); “The Arrival of Kitty”; Freshman and Sophomore plays; Teachers ' Club Play (3); “Stage Breaks” (3). Irene is quiet, doesn ' t say too much, but means a lot. She possesses a charming personality and a jolly smile. She is bound to find much happiness. Richard Elson “That man that hath a tongue, I say, is no man, If with his tongue he cannot win a woman.” “Screech Owl ” (4); Student Council (4); “The Arrival of Kitty” (4); “The Hoodoo” (4); Picture Committee (4); Banquet Committee (4); Track (1) (2) (3) (4); Class Night Speaker (4). I wonder if there is anyone in our class who doesn ' t know “Dick” or like him, for that matter. His cheerful grin, witty remarks, keen sense of humor, and especially his portrayals of “Little Hemecus” and “Big Sam” in our class plays have made him one of the “highlights” of our class. Gaetano Ferrera “I profess not talking; only this, Let each man do his best.” Track (4). Gaetano is the quiet member of the class. We tried and tried, but could find nothing sensational about him! Per- haps we don ' t really know him. How ' s about it, Gaetano?? Eleanor Flaherty “If there is a virtue at which we should always aim, it is cheerfulness.” Hockey (2) (3) (4); Screech Owl (3) (4); “The Hoodoo” (4); French Play (4); Basketball (3); Senior Dance Com- mittee (4); Senior Banquet Committee (4); Class Night Speaker (4). Eleanor ' s popularity is well evidenced by her selection to serve on various committees throughout her high school career. Best wishes, Eleanor, during your college days. Varnum Fletcher “What I am to be, I am now becoming.” “Dizzy” is one of the members of the class about whom we know very little, but there are a few dark secrets in his life — Come on, let us in on them.

THE SCREECH OWL 27 Anthony Grigas “ Quietness is the finest armour a man can wear” Track (4). Chief attraction in the “Tale of Two Cities ,, ; short, attractive, and always on the run. You will always find Tony in the first seat at the Metropolitan or RKO theaters in Boston. Bennie Hakala “One of our most valorous, noblest, Sanest and most obedient” Football (3) (4) ; Student Council (2) (4) ; Baseball (3) (4) ; Inter-class Basketball (4); “The Arrival of Kitty” (4); “The Hoodoo” (4). Bennie is famous for his fine performances in the two “hits” of this year on the school stage. He’s the sort of a fellow anyone would like for a friend. Bennie always has a friendly smile for all and he’s a great asset to the school because of his diligent work in keeping the building neat Good luck, Bennie. Barbara Hamlin “Full of courtesy, full of poise” French Play (3) (4); Hockey (2). “Bobbe” is our very popular “Sophisticated Lady.” She has a fine personality and is well-liked, “Bobbe” has definite ideas of becoming a Medical Secretary, and we know she’ll always get what she really wants. George Hekkala “What is he? I do not mean the force alone — The grace and versatility of the man ” George is one of the silent he-man type. He frequently changes his residence, and his secret ambition is one day to move his household goods to Lanesville. Vilja Helenius “A life that moves to gracious ends Thro ’ troops of unrecorded friends.” Vilja is one of the more quiet members of the class. She is liked by everyone and will always be remembered for her friendly smile.
