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”?

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.

The Screech Owl 25 Wallace Linquist Track (2) (3) (4). Blue eyed, mild mannered Wallace’s ambition is one day to play big league hockey. Check ’em hard, Wallace! Fred Loika Fred is the slow, serious, unhurried type of whom very little is heard. He just loves oral talks. Maybe there’s genius hidden under that quiet countenance. Anthony Lubin Baseball (3) (4) ; Football (4) ; Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4) ; Prom Committee (3) ; Ring Committee (3) ; Class Play (2). One need only look at that list of activities to guess what kind of a fellow “Lubey” is. We find him well liked by every one, especially the feminine part of our student body. Thelma Makela Basketball (3) (4). For such an unusually quiet girl Thelma has high am- bitions. She wants to be an air hostess. Better carry a parachute ! Roger Matthewman Roger is one of these tall, dark, and handsome boys who have a way with the girls. Cheer up, girls, “Rog” will be back next year for a P. G. in preparation for Tufts.
