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!

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!

32 THE SCREECH OWL Olg Rudziak — “Good nature and good sense are hers.” Student Council (4), “Screech OwF’ (4), Private Dance (4), Senior Social (4). Olga — a sweet brunette with sparkling eyes, is always smiling. She is popular, has scores of friends, and is bound to succeed. Keep smiling, Olga. Edwin Saaristo — “Quietness is the finest armour a man can wear.” Track (3) (4), Football (2) (3) (4), Basketball (4). Saaristo is a hard-working silent young man, but when it is a question of capitalists, he is right on his toes and puts up an argu- ment which can be heard all over the school. He wishes to take a General Electric Training course, so that he may become an elec- trician. With your hard-working manner, Saaristo, we know that you will succeed. Raymond Salminen — “A great sportsman.” Reception Committee (4). Ray, the bachelor of the Commercial Room, is going to find it hard when the fishing season opens next year and he is sitting behind an office desk. Miriam Sarvela — “Her ways are ways of pleasantness.” Basketball (1), Field Hockey (1) (2) (3) (4). Miriam is always ready to help a friend. She excels both on the hockey field and in the classroom. Her greatest ambition is to be a nurse, and we are sure that, with her pleasing personality, she is sure to be a splendid one. Anthony Sebastynowicz — “Eager in studies and labor.” Graduation Speaker. “Busty” is one of our high honor students and also a perfect gen- tleman. He is a member of one of the elite clubs of Maynard, and his desire to play Ping Pong with a certain somebody should be taken into consideration.
