30 THE SCREECH OWL Ernest Priest — “He’s tall, he’s blonde, he’s terrific.” Football (1) (2) (3) (4), Co-captain (4), Baseball (1) (2) (3) (4), Captain (4), Glee Club (2) (3) (4), “Screech Owl” (4), Senior Dance Committee (4), Teacher’s Club Program (4). “Ernie” is the silent man of our class — much to the disappoint- ment of many a fair lass. He just won’t break down! We shall always remember him as the football hero who refused “to get along with the beautiful girls.” Antonetta “Toini” Primiano — “So sweet a face in all that land had never been.” Banquet Committee (4), Girls’ Glee Club (4). Although she is usually quiet in school, she is pleasant and jolly outside. Stay as sweet as you are, Antonetta. Adelia Pronko — “Who pleasure gives shall joy receive.” Class Night Committee (4). Delia is the blonde wizard of the class. Her ability to sew is remarkable. She always has a pleasing smile for everyone. We w onder whose idea it was to move up on Roosevelt Street. Won’t you let us in on the secret, Delia ? Peter Pronko — “Good nature is one of the richest fruits of personality.” Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4), Baseball (2), Junior Social Com- mittee (3), Football Manager (4), Track (4), Orchestra (1), Speaker, Class Night (4), Reception Committee (4). Pete’s rising success on the track field in one year and his splen- did ability as a football manager is a sure sign of success. We don’t hear much about Pete’s affairs, but now and then there are rumors of a certain Sophomore. Maybe that accounts for every- thing. Lawrence Quinn — “They shall not pass.” Senior Social Committee (4), Baseball (4), Football, Basketball. “Lonnie,” who is another one of these quiet boys, did surprise us with a partner at the Screech Owd Dance. But never mind, Lawrence, your athletic activities have spoken for you.

THE SCREECH OWL 29 Guy Perillo — “Well done is better than well said.” Football (4), Track (3) (4), Senior Private Dance Committee (4), Basketball (3) (4), Speaker, Graduation Night. A real student. He knows when to work and when to play, and never does he mix them — at home, on the cinder path, as well as in the class-room. If you ever “run” for office, Guy, we know of at least 101 v otes you’ll receive. Charles Pleskowicz — “Not afraid of work, but not in sympathy with it.” Class Night Committee (4). Who could be serious with Charlie around ? Always smiling and always a glad word. As for graduation — you have your papers already. John Popieniuck — “East and West the wonder-thirst will not let me be.” Private Dance Committee (4). John believes in combining pleasure with business. His “heavy” duties as Storekeeper do not prevent him from appreciating a good western story. John Pozerycki — “We will make us merry as we may.” Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4), Track (2) (3) (4), Art Program (4), Banquet Committee (4), Football (4). “Puzzy” is a friendly fellow with a good word for all. His speed can carry him places in a hurry as his envious track record proves. Alyce Priest — “Give the world the best you have and the best will come back to you.” Reception Committee (4) Glee Club (4). Alyce intends to be a nurse. We know she will succeed in more than one way because her pleasing personality will win many a patient’s heart.

No wonder the Junior bachelors find her so exciting on an ice pond. Mary Rubaszko — “Art for art’s sake.” Stage Breaks (1), Glee Club (1), Orchestra (2) (3) (4), Art Program (3) (4), Senior Private Dance Committee (4).
