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.

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.

24 The Screech Owl Stanley Kugima Behind the scenes in almost any school production you’ll find “Kuchie”. If he isn’t driving a nail or tightening a screw, he’s fixing the lights, — and ready with a friend- ly smile or greeting for every one. Helen Labowicz Hockey (1) (2). Helen is rather quiet, but that certain somebody who we know is a teacher from Forge Village has her on the go. Good luck ! Fred Lalli Interclass Basketball (4). Freddy’s the farmer of the class, but he’s quite a basket- ball and baseball player, too. Cheer up, Fred, there’s a back-to-the-farm movement going on now. Joseph Lalli Class President (1) ; Class Play (4) ; Student Council (1) (2) ; Speaker, Graduation. “Old Doc Clayton’’, or “Joe”, whichever you prefer, is one of the few boys who never worry about examina- tions. A friendly, agreeable person, he always has the correct answers for you on request. Mildred Lent “Mid” may seem quiet, but we Commercialites have learned to know that it is only a front. Will we ever forget those impromptu debates in English 4C when Mid would “on either side dispute, confute, change hands, and still confute”?
