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.

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.

30 The Screech Owl Lauri Saisa Track Manager (4). Whenever you hear a group laughing, you’re almost sure to find Lauri in the middle. We always see him with a smile on his face. Keep up the good work, “Lut”. Laura Salminen Student Council (1) ; Screech Owl (2) (3) (4) ; Glee Club (2) ; Stage Breaks (2) ; French Soiree (4) ; Speak- er, Graduation. Reserved, dignified, and very well liked — that’s Laura. Her skill with pencil and brush indicate that her am- bition to be a designer will be realized. We wonder what she does with her spare time in the teachers’ room. Olavi Salo Baseball (2) ; Speaker, Graduation. Olavi’s time is divided between baseball and the thoughts of what he will do when he graduates. He does excellent shorthand, so it shouldn’t be hard for him to find a career. Evelyn Sawutz French Soiree; Stage Breaks (2); Piano Duet, Class Night (4). “Evie” is one half of our famous piano team of Salminen and Sawutz. Aside from her musical work Evelyn is determined to major in Home Economics. Good luck and good pies! Helen Schnair Glee Club (2) ; Class Play (2) ; Stage Breaks (2) ; Class Play (4). Lovable, laughable Helen is always singing, but her song is at its best when “Smiggy” is around. Her pet ambition is to be a hairdresser, and we know that whatever Helen undertakes she does well.
