22 THE SCREECH OWL Dorothy Hansen — “Good nature is one of the fruits of personality.” Field Hockey (1) (2) (3) (4), Captain (4), Student Council (3), Banquet Committee (4), Graduation Speaker (4). “Dottie” is indeed a girl who is full of “pep.” She succeeds in everything she undertakes, whether it ' s athletics or studies. I’m sure quite a few of us won’t forget her independence and the stimulating, good-natured way in which she has teased us throughout the four years. Stephanie Harachko — “She taketh much delight in Art.” Poster Prize: Anchor and Ark Glee Club Contest (4), “Screech Owl” (4). Stephanie’s secret ambition is to become a Costume Designer. We know that her remarkable artistic ability, together with her in- dividualism, wi ll aid her greatly in fulfilling this great desire. Eero Heinonen — “Quietness and confidence.” Student Council (4), Dance Committee (4), Picture Committee, First prize: Public Speaking Contest (4), Reception Committee (4), Class Night Speaker (4). A commercial student who perseveres and who hopes to continue his commercial career. Although he is quiet, perhaps he has a “shady” past. How’s fishing, Eero ? Kalervo Hekkala — “Rotund and jolly — carefree and gay.” Orchestra (4), School band (4). “Clip” is learning the baker’s trade and wants to be a chef. Girls, here is just the man you have been looking for. John Higgins Baseball (2) (3) (4), Christmas Dance Committee (3), Banquet Committee (4), All Dance Committees (4). Mention a girl’s name, and John will know her. We understand you don’t want to make business your career. What are you going to do, just settle down ?

THE SCREECH OWL 21 Agnes Grudinski — “Make thy presence known.’ Agnes wants to be a nurse. We are sure she’ll make a very quiet, competent one. Sylvia Greenblat — “So sweet a face ' in all that land had never been.” Field Hockey (2) (3), Basketball (2) (3). Sylvia, a sweet young lady, is very popular with all her class- mates.

John Gudzinowicz — “Assurance is two- thirds of success.” Baseball (1) (2) (3) (4), Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4), Prize: Elks’ Essay Contest on the American Flag (3).

Gudza plans to enter Bowdoin. Edward Hajduk — “Pass all things.” Football (3) (4). “Ace” was the passing half of the famous D’Agata-Hajduk com- bination. Attending Irish Notre Dame is this Polish Boy’s am- bition. Don’t get trumped, Ace. Charles Haapanen — “My kingdom for a horse.” Baseball (1) (2) (3) (4), Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4). Chuck has gained most of his fame on the baseball diamond, but he claims his success with the horses has excelled his baseball exploits. Chuck someday hopes to own a racing stable.

THE SCREECH OWL 23 Viola Hirvonen — “Music is the universal language of mankind.” Chorus Accompanist (3) (4), Orchestra (3) (4). Viola advises freshmen to remain emotionally unattached until their graduation. We wonder if she has gathered this bit of wisdom from experience. The class thanks you heartily for your assistance at the piano and wishes you good luck with your future music study, Viola. Myldred Holly — “Art for art’s sake.” Poster Prize: Anchor and Ark Glee Club Contest (4), Scholarship: Vesper George School of Art (4). We all know of Myldred’s artistic ability which has won her a scholarship at the Vesper George School of Art, and also a prize for a poster in the Anchor and Ark Glee Club contest. Congratu- lations, Myldred, you’ll be a famous designer in the near future. George Honkanen — “A quiet mind is richer than a crown.” Blonde curly-haired George is perhaps our quietest Senior lad and many, oh, so many a maid has sighed in vain as he passes. George aspires to become a welder, and if his ready answers in physics mean anything, we are certain of his success. John Howanski — “Quiet persons are welcome every- where.” Baseball (1), Track (3), Football (3), Basketball (3). A good student and a fine athlete, also a good mechanic! We agree that he will be successful. His interests are in Newton. We wonder why! Miriam Hyden — “A friend is the hope of the heart.” Miriam is a cheerful, friendly girl who is always willing to help a friend. Her ambition is to be a stenographer. We all wish you luck, Miriam.
