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.

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.

The Screech Owl 31 Frank Silkonis Frank’s the type of student who never lets worry plant wrinkles on his forehead. He can turn out some fine work when so inclined. Be a little more often inclined and you’ll succeed, Frank. Dorothy Simila Hockey (1) (2) (3) (4) ; Basketball (2) (3) (4) ; Glee Club (2) ; Screech Owl O) ; Senior Play; Speaker, Class Night. “Dot” is a popular person, but no wonder. With that list of activities and a smiling cheerful disposition thrown in, who could help but like her ? Viola Simonetti French Soiree (4) . One of the reasons why not all gentlemen prefer blonds — and she’s as nice as she is pretty. Viola is kept busy with her store, but we’re sure there’s another “outside activity” somewhere that she’s keeping us in the dark about. John Smaha Stage Manager, Senior Play. John’s blush and friendly smile are forever showing themselves. Keep smiling, John, when things look dark for you, and you’ll surely find the sunshine. Catherine Smith Field Hockey (1) (2) (3). Catherine has dark curly hair and rosy cheeks and is very quiet. She is well liked by all her classmates, and we wish her all the best.
