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 ?

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 ?

THE SCREECH OWL 29 Peter Molloy — “Thy smile and frown are not aloof from one another.” Track Manager (3), Basketball ( 4). As manager of the track team, Molloy must have learned the fundamentals of running, but when it comes to horses, he certain- ly can pick them. His favorite sport is swimming, and he is an- other of our class who spends much of his time at Lake Walden. Irene Morrill — “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” Vice-President (2), Secretary (3) (4), Prom Committee (3), Ring Committee (3), All Socials (3) (4), Picture Committee (4), Sen- ior Private Dance (4), Graduation Speaker (4), Basketball (1) (2) (3), Hockey (3) (4), Student Council (1) (2) (3), Banquet Committee (4), Reception Committee (4). “Noonie’s” ability and efficiency as a secretary will carry her far into the business world. Her ability in many lines of activity is well known. Eleanore Murphy — “Life is a song.” Class Night Speaker (4), Junior Prom Committee (3), Ring Com- mittee (3), Dance Committee (3) (4), Banquet Committee (4), “The Hoodoo” (1). Eleanor is a most attractive girl and full of personality. Her popularity can be shown from above activities. Need we say any more ? Thomas Murray — “If I’ve been merry, what matter who knows?” Tommy is one of our baseball-minded boys. Although he never went out for the high school nine, his catching ability is known from one end of New Village to the other. Who knows. Tommy, someday you may be in the big leagues instead of in the New Village Twilight League. Ebba Nelson — “A penny saved is a penny earned.” Valentine Dance Committee (4), Reception Committee (4). Ebba is the delightfully pleasant lass who saves her pennies. Keep it up, Ebba! You may yet be another Vanderbilt!
