THE SCREECH OWL 27 Walter Lankiewicz — “He has the sixth sense, the sense of humor.” Valentine Dance Committee (4), Private Dance Committee (4), Banquet Committee (4). Walter is quiet, but far from serious. He has his quiet moods, though, even then he usually has a joke for you. I wonder where he gets them all? George Larson — “A quiet mind is richer than a crown.” Football (1) (2) (3) (4). George is one of the silent type, but when he is on the football field, he certainly makes his presence known. He is very studious, but he usually finds time to pay some attention to a certain Senior girl. How about it, Jane ? Lempi Lehto — “A contented spirit is the sweetness of existence.” Lempi is the “little girl” of our class. Her ambition is to be a nurse. We also hear that she plays the piano very well. Surely sweet music never hurt any patient, Lempi; so good luck in both studies. Dorothy Lent — “So often it is the quiet who accomplish most.” Field Hockey Manager (4), Graduation Speaker (4). Dorothy seems in utter oblivion as to her surroundings, but when it comes to a showdown, she is more awake than most of us. She is quiet and of a pleasing personality, and we know she’ll make a prize nurse. Dorothy shows that she is patriotic, since her happi- est moment occurred when she was chosen by the class as good citizen pilgrim. Jane Lent — “Success comes to those who strive for it.” Basketball (2). Jane has done fine work completing her four year course in three years. Her unusual ability is sure to make her a successful busi- ness woman. Could it be that George is also commercially in- clined ?

26 THE SCREECH OWL Phyllis Kulevich — “Fit as a fiddle and ready for — what ?” Christmas Dance Committee (4), Banquet Committee (4). Phyllis, better known as “Fannie,” has set her heart on being a dietitian. Maybe she’ll be able to find a diet suitable for Senior girls who delight in standing in front of the candy counter. When it’s done, we want to be the first to know of it. John Kulik — “An all-round man complete in himself.” Class Treasurer (1) (2) (3) (4), Student Council (1) (2) (3), “Screech Owl” (3) (4), All committees (1) (2) (3) (4), Gradua- tion Speaker (4). Quite a treasurer! John’s activities speak for themselves. He is a good manager and can be trusted. His life-long ambition is to attend M. I. T. in Cambridge, where he can prepare himself to become a draftsman. Well, John, we know that sometime you will be working successfully for the government. Miriam Kunelius — “Training in our tender years.” We don’t hear very much about Miriam, but we do know that her ambition is to be a good secretary. She plays a good game of ten- nis, too, we have been told. Mildred LaCroix — “Come, and trip it, as you go, On the light fantastic toe.” Mildred’s chief interests are tap dancing and a certain dark-com- plexioned senior boy. She wants to be a costume designer. Which will it be, Mildred, a career or a “mystery man”? Alexander Lalli — “You may dance on the ropes without reading Euclid.” Reception Committee (4), Senior Valentine Social (4), Senior Private Dance (4), Banquet Committee (4). We never hear much from Alex until he gets on the dance floor, but, “boy!” does he go to town then! Keep at it, “Al.”

28 THE SCREECH OWL William Loiko — “Women disturb me not. — much.” Class Night Speaker (4). Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4), Football (3) (4), Prize: Public Speaking Contest (4). Bill was one of the famous “pony” backfield. Bill also makes a hit with the opposite sex, for he is often seen in Boston and Dor- chester. Maybe it’ll be Westboro soon. Helen Lubin — “Warble your blues away.” Field Hockey (2), Basketball (1) (2), Valentine Dance Committee (4), Private Dance Committee (4), Banquet Committee (4). “Lubey” has chosen the all-interesting field of singing as her future career. She wants to be a “Blues Singer.” We await with pleasure, Helen, the day when one twist of the dial will bring your soothing voice to our ever-attentive ears. Vieno Luoma — “High sacrifice and labour without pause.” Vieno is the sophisticated member of the Commercial Class with dozens of out-of-town admirers. Her clear, soprano voice is bound to make her another “Lily Pons.” Keep at it, Vieno! Edmund Mariani — “Prudent men may direct a state.” No one bothers Ed, and Ed bothers no one; so we don’t know much about him. We are sure, however, that his perseverence will carry him through. Helen Mattson — “All the world is a stage.’ ' Basketball (1), Field Hockey (2). Helen seems to be a very sedate young miss, but we know’ she has her moments of verbal activity. Shall w’e ever forget her brief but friendly arguments in the English Class ?
