The Screech Owl 27 Irja Nelson Orchestra (1) (2) (3) (4) ; Screech Owl (4) ; Art Com- mittee (4) ; Glee Club (2) ; Senior Play Committee (4) ; French Soiree (4) ; Speaker, Graduation. Pleasant and gay, Irja has a friendly smile for everyone. No wonder she’s so often the center of an admiring group. Not always girls, either. Watch out, Jim ! Eleanor Newman Basketball (1) (2). A most quiet and reserved little girl. Eleanor prefers to stay at home most of the time, making candy. She is an excellent fudge-maker, you know. No one can really understand her. Henry Novick Baseball Manager (4) ; Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4); Outing Committee (4). Somehow Henry has managed to steer pretty clear of feminine attachments — perhaps he’s learned from “Miza” that it’s safer to stick to business. As baseball manager Henry has done a fine job. We want to con- gratulate him on the way he has handled the extra work and responsibility. Irma Osmo Art Exhibit (4) ; Piano duet. Graduation Night ; Screech Owl (4) ; Glee Club (3). Irma is the dignified lady of the class. She is always well dressed and always has her work done neatly. She will make an ideal secretary. William Palmer Class Treasurer (2) (3) (4) ; Screech Owl (1) (2) (3) (4) ; Editor (4) ; Speaker, Class Night. Bill’s a pretty fine fellow for his size, with a positive flair for drawing. For ornamental purposes, I believe, he wears an 18 carat gold tooth that positively lights up his smile. Bill says he’s going to be a sport cartoon- ist, but we doubt if he’ll use athletes for models.

26 The Screech Owl Mary Mikolazyk Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4). When you get acquainted with Mary, you find she has an excellent sense of humor. Her secret ambition is to be a dress designer. She does a good job on her own wardrobe. Jennie Milewski Jennie has intentions of becoming a nurse. We can understand how many a young man’s heart will beat faster when Jennie takes his pulse. She is noted for her smart attire and good dancing. No wonder the class voted her “best dancer”. Victor Milewski Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4). It’s surprising how many girls know “Miza’s” working hours and go to the movies when he’s there. We can’t decide whether it’s the uniform that gets them or the grin “Miza” is so generous with ! We wouldn’t be sur- prised to see him with a racing stable of his own in the not too distant future. Eleanor Ann Murphy Field Hockey (1) (2) (3) (4); Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4) ; Senior Play; Outing Committee (4). Eleanor seems to have taken quite a fancy to roller skat- ing. It is no wonder, when she has so many ardent ad- mirers from Concord, Waltham, Littleton, and Marlboro to escort her ! Happy landing, Eleanor Ann ! ! ! Raymond Murphy Laugh and the world laughs with you seems to be Ray’s motto. Ray can be very serious when he wants to, and we anticipate a fine future for him in the printing business.

28 The Screech Owl Helen Paul Hockey (1) (2) (3) (4) ; Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4). Helen is proof of the saying “Good things come in small packages”. She is quiet and thoughtful — about what, we wonder. Aline Pekkala Basketball (4). Althongh Aune has been with us but one short year, she certainly startled the Senior English Class with her theme “My Prospects for Next Year.” Which is it going to be, Aune, Hollywood or — ? Aili Pietila Basketball (2) (3) (4). Aili is a very unassuming person, and a true friend. She aspires to become a hairdresser. Customers please form a line at the right. Michael Pileeki Football (2) (3) (4) ; Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4). “Mike” has a most roguish twinkle in his eye, but seemed to be very shy until Eleanor came along. Then he came to in a big way. Peter Popienuck “Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater Had no girl, therefore didn’t need to keep her.” Peter is a quiet fellow, very seldom heard in a discussion unless he is vitally concerned, and even then maybe not. Peter keeps his affairs so quiet that even his bosom pals have nothing on him.
