22 The Screech Owl William Higgins Frenc h Soiree (3) ; Class Play (4) ; Speaker, Graduation. Bill’s a teacher’s nightmare with his witty remarks during classes. He’s a great scholar and has a fine person- ality, but — remember. Bill, the early bird catches the worm. Robert Hinds Track (1) ; Basketball (4). “Bobby” is kept really busy now-a-days between thoughts of a brunette in a Connecticut school, and his work. Bet we know which gets the more attention. Catherine Hoffman Class Vice-president (1) (2) ; Student Council (1) (2) ; Field Hockey (1) (2) (3) (4) ; Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4) ; “The Hoodoo” (3) ; Picture Committee (4) ; Prom Committee (3) ; Orchestra (1) (2) (3) (4); Cheer- leader (2) (3) (4) ; Screech Owl (1) (2) (3) (4) ; Speak- er, Class Night. “Kay” is the cheerful girl we see toiling so industriously in the Commercial Room. What little spare time she has is well monopolized by a certain somebody. Need we mention names? Tauno Honkanen Honk’s the electrical wizard of the class. About him might be said the words of a famous poet: “And still they looked and still their wonder grew. That one small head could hold all that he knew” about radio, chemistry, and physics. What poet? Who cares. Marion Hull Field Hockey (1) (2) (3) (4) ; Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4) ; Senior Play Committee (4) ; Art Committee (4) ; Speaker, Class Night (4). “Husky” is the other half of Kajander and Hull, Inc. With her cheerful countenance she has brightened many of our classes.

The Screech Owl 21 Gladys Greenleaf Class Play (4) ; Speaker, Graduation. “G. B.” was a “find” for the Senior Play. If her am- bitions are not Hollywood bound, we miss our guess. Watch out, Katherine Hepburn, when Gladys arrives. Edwin Grunwald Eddie is a quiet fellow (in public) with a very pleasing personality. The least I can say of Ed is we all like him very much and look on him as a friend worth having. Edwin Gustafson Track (4). “Gus” has many friends who have penetrated his quiet exterior. He enjoys himself most in history class and likes to talk on present day politics. “Gus” intends to be an engineer. Geraldine Hatch Hockey (1) (2) (3) (4). “Gerry” seems to favor only college boys with her witty presence. She spends much of her time in waiting for the mailman; we have often wondered what those precious letters contain. Anna Higgins Screech Owl (4) ; Student Council (3) (4) ; Secretary, Student Council (4) ; Field Hockey (1) (2) (3) (4) ; Prom Committee (3) ; Ring Committee (3) ; Picture Committee (4) ; Reception Committee (4) ; Speaker, Graduation. Anna is athletic, popular, and a typical Irish colleen. The time she spends on her studies shows in her work. Her cleverness and adaptability are sure to make her an asset to any employer.

The Screech Owl 23 Erick Johnson Baseball (All-Middlesex) (3) ; Football (4) ; Interclass Basketball (4). Erick’s football ability finally asserted itself the past season. He’s a runner-up for tardy honors, but then maybe the pool room keeps him out too late. Aili Kajander Screech Owl (3) (4) ; Mandolin Club (1) ; Field Hockey (1) (2) (3) (4) ; Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4) ; Ring Com- mittee (3) ; Prom Committee (3) ; Picture Committee (4) ; Banquet Committee (4) ; Class Secretary (3) (4) ; Glee Club (2) ; Senior Play Committee (4). “Irish” certainly has been in the midst of things during her M.H.S. career, as witness the list above. Aili excels in everything she does — sports, art, and studies. Charlotte King Screech Owl (2) (3) (4) ; Field Hockey (1) (2) ; Class Plays (2) (4) ; “Hoodoo” (3) ; Prom Committee (3) ; Senior Play Committee (4) ; Class Secretary (2) ; Stu- dent Council (2) (3) (4) ; French Soiree (3) (4) ; Speaker, Class Night; Reception Committee (4). Charlotte is the actress of our class, having had parts in plays nearly every year. Many also are the times that she is the nucleus of a group who are sampling all those good things from the cooking room. Vieno Koski Field Hockey (2) ; Senior Play Committee (4). Vieno is a popular young lady wherever she goes. There is many a lad who casts wistful glances in her direction, but alas, she has eyes for only one (or two) ! ! She cer- tainly is “a lovely lady garmented in light.” John Kuchun “Johnnie” doesn’t make much noise in school but his friends know his pleasant ways. His endeavors point to a rosy career in business. We know you’ll succeed, John.
