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.

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.

The Screech Owl 29 Helen Punch Basketball (1) (2) (3) ; Hockey (1) (2) (3) (4). Helen’s beauty and quiet personality are an asset to her in her school life. She always has a cheery smile of wel- come for us and especially for that somebody at Princeton. Norma Punch Basketball (1) (2) ; Hockey (2) (3) ; Social Committee (4). Norma is a vivacious girl from the Commercial Room who always has a pleasant word for everybody. Her activities out of school have been quite “in the shade” until recently. Ask her about her interesting job down at the Priscilla Candy Shop. Eino Raikunen Track (3) (4). Eino in school is quiet and reserved, but we hear rumors of a blonde freshman with whom he’s not so “offish”. Let us all in on it, “Eino”. Doris Ryan Field Hockey (3). Affable Doris is the inseparable comrade of Mary. She also likes roller-skating. Popular report has it that Doris has a handsome blonde young man in New Hamp- shire who has won her affections. Evelyn Saari Hockey (1) (2) (3) (4) ; Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4) ; Glee Club (2). Her cheery disposition spreads rays of sunlight over the entire Commercial Department. At times we know her thoughts are wandering far away. Where? Ask Winchell.
