20 THE SCREECH OWL Sylvia Glickman — “Joy is not in things but in us.” Screech Owl Contest (1), “Screech Owl” (2) (3) (4), Statue of Liberty Essay Contest (2), Flag Day Essay Contest (2), Banquet Committee (4), Graduation Night Speaker. Sylvia is one of the most energetic members of our class. Her contributions to the Screech Owl have been read with keen ap- preciation. She should make a good debator, having participated in countless friendly arguments. Robert Greenaway — “Silence is the virtue of the gods.” Senior Private Dance Committee. “Bob” set a traveling record in high school. He’s been building a trailer for four years. Is it finally finished, or are you and Babe going to put that piazza on it? Toini Grekula Banquet Committee (4). Toini’s an ardent “II Penseroso.” We wonder what she’s thinking about ? Anna Gudzinowicz — “She came, she saw, she conquered.” Class Night Committee (4), Speaker, Graduation Night (4). Anna’s quiet aptitude spells her success in any field of work she may undertake. Leonard Hakkarainen — “To will is a great thing.” Track (3), Social Committee (4). Lennie’s so quiet no one knows much about him except that he’s an expert door-holder-upper. Quite an entomologist too.

THE SCREECH OWL 19 Walter Donahue — “With the beat, beat, beat of the drums.” Orchestra (2) (3) (4), Track (1) (2), Reception Committee (4). Walter is one of these quiet boys, but we hear that he likes to take his dog and gun and go out into the woods. What we want to know, Walter, is what do you catch? George Downey — “Guard of the goal defensive, open- eyed.” Track (1), Football (3) (4), Co-captain (4), Basketball (2) (3) (4), Captain (3) (4), Baseball (1), Junior Prom Committee (3), Valentine Dance Committee (4). George is one of the most popular boys in the class. Just watch him at a dance! He loves the “Big Apple.” Rita Foley — “She wno is a true iriena always nas many many friends.” Basketball (1), Field Hockey (1) (2), Junior Social Committee (3) , Student Council (3), Screech Owl (3) (4), Screech Owl Dance Committee (3) (4), “The Hoodoo” (2), Reception Com- mittee (4), Ring Committee (3), French Soiree (4), Orchestra (4) , Glee Club (4), Class Night Speaker. Beautiful brown eyes, pleasing personality, an honor student, and an accomplished pianist comprise “Rita.” We shall not soon forget her ability as an actress. John French — “Time to retire.” Track (3) (4), Class Night Committee (4). John has started his business career early. As a matter of fact he says he has “retired” many times. Rita Gallagher “Mischief dances in her eyes And smiles upon her lips.” Basketball (1), Field Hockey (1) (2) (3) (4), Thanksgiving Social (3), New Year’s Social (3), Screech Owl (4), Class Night Committee (4), Junior Prom Committee (3). Whenever you see a pair of sparkling Irish eyes you’ll know it’s Rita. She is well known for her good dancing and sociability.

THE SCREECH OWL 21 Margaret Hearon “When her Irish eyes are smiling They will steal your heart away.” Basketball (1), French Soiree (4), Outing Committee (4). Peggy is a true Irish colleen — friendly, mischievous, and gay. Through her lively conversation, she has won her way into the hearts of all of us. Mamie Heikkinen — “Life is too short for melancholy.” Private Dance Committee (4), Glee Club (4). Mamie is a very attractive blonde with dates galore. She par- ticularly favors college boys — so we hear. Her ambition is to work in an office, and with Mamie around any office should look bright. Timothy Hickey — “Good nature is one of the richest fruits of personality.” Orchestra (1) (2) (3) (4). Musically inclined, Tim shared honors with the other trumpeteers of the orchestra. Good luck to you, Tim. Myrtle Hodgess — “A friend is the hope of the heart.” Field Hockey (3), Music (1) (2) (3) (4), Senior Private Dance Committee (4), Girls’ Chorus (4). Myrtle is a great sport and one of the nicest girls in the class. If you don’t believe it, just ask “Snooky.” She is capable and reliable, and we know she’ll make good in the nursing profession. Helen Isner — “Softly speak and sweetly smile.” Basketball (1), Field Hockey (1) (2), Student Council (2) (4), Girls’ Chorus (4), Banquet Committee (4), Music (1) (2) (3) (4), “What an Act” (4). Pretty and well dressed — that’s Helen. She is rather tranquil, and we think that “Hubby” is the reason for this. Her ambition is to become a nurse. We expect there’ll be an increase of heart trouble cases.
