30 THE SCREECH OWL May Newman — “And mistress of herself.” Field Hockey (2), Picture Committee (4). May is one of the petite members of our class whose cheerful disposition has made her a favorite. We wonder why she prefers the comforts of a Chevrolet to any other “jaloppy!” Come on, May, ’fess up! Waino Nyholm — “Thou shall not pass.” Track (3) (4), Football (2) (3) (4), Basketball (3) (4). Although “Bonesey” was an outstanding player on the football field, his interests are not entirely in that sport. His favorite sport is swimming, and he can be found at Lake Walden on any summer afternoon. He would like to be a mechanic, and he cer- tainly has had a lot of practice working on his old Ford. Daniel O’Leary — “Hail to the chief who in triumph advances.” Football (1) (2) (3) (4), Co-capt. (4), “Screech Owl” (1) (2) (3) (4), Editor (4), Class President (1) (2) (3) (4), Student Council (1) (2) (3) (4), President (4), Track (1) (2) (3) (4), Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4), All Committees, Third prize: Public Speaking Contest (4). Danny’s secret desire is to be a doctor. Could Norma’s nursing career have any influence on his decision? Danny is the most popular boy in the class and has been our faithful leader for four years. His personality, ability, versatility and friendliness will, we are sure, lead him soon to real achievement. Just look at his record above. Emma Paul — “There’s a time and place for everything.” Private Dance Committee (4), Class Night Speaker (4), Secre- tary (1) Student Council (1), Christmas Social (4), All Socials (4), Senior Reception Committee (4), Field Hockey (1) (2) (3) (4), “Screech Owl” (4), Banquet Committee (4), “The Pampered Darling” (2), Pictu re Committee (4). Emma’s ambition is to become a nurse. Her cheery disposition will carry her far in this field. We must find out how such a small person can do so many big things in such an engaging way. Broncia Pileeki — “True with the tongue.” Broncia is a quiet girl, but well-liked. She has done very well to complete four years in three. Who would ever think that her happiest moment came when she learned to dance? We’ll wager she has had many other happy moments since then!

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!

THE SCREECH OWL 31 Bennie Piecewicz — “Patience is the guide to success.” Baseball (1) (2). Bennie’s one ambition seems to be to join the Navy Air Force. With a few more like Bennie, we won’t have to be afraid of certain foreign menaces. Good luck, “Pop!” Walter Popeniuck — “He who builds silently, builds strongly.” Another strong silent member of the strong silent Popeniuck family passes through our door. This one wants to be a Naval Architect. May he “sea” his way clear. Katharine Punch — “Good fortune guide thee.” Katharine doesn’t say very much in school, but we know that she can be very gay on occasions. Her hobby is reading, and she is often seen in the library, her red head bent over a book. Mary Quinn — “Life is just a bowl of cherries.” Banquet Committee (4), Reception Committee (4). Mary is never upset and fully unconcerned. She has made quite a name for herself since “jitterbugging” was introduced, as was shown the night of the Senior Sleigh Ride. Never mind, Mary, a little bit of fun never hurt anybody. Leslie Rivers — “Like Father, like Son!” All Dance Committees (4), Banquet Committee (4), Reception Committee (4), Orchestra (1) (2) (3) (4) “Screech Owl” (3) (4), Private Dance Committee (4), Graduation Speaker (4). A very witty boy is Leslie, and to him we owe the ads of our “Screech Owl.” Leslie plans to be a business man. He’s had a good start, and we count on a brilliant finish. His hobby is pho- tography. Watch out, future Seniors! He may be your Vantine!
