THE SCREECH OWL 13 Helen Arefyova Hill 15 Summer Street “Her air, her manners, all who saw admired Courteous though coy and gentle though retired.” Music (1, 2, 3, 4), Orchestra (2), Screech Owl (4), Graduation Speaker (4). Helen, tall, brunette, and studious, is a very quiet and mysterious girl. She has a countess manner. She is one of the most efficient girls in the Commercial Room, but her main ambition is to become an actress or a ballet dancer. We wonder whether she will be a second Katherine Cornell or another Vera Zorina. Ann Theresa Ignachuck 3 Florida Court “The more you do the more you may accomplish.” Senior Special Chorus (4). Ann, pleasant, blue-eyed, and light-haired, has planned to take up hair dressing as a career. “Wave” wondered if she wants that as a permanent position. “Facial” we see you later, Ann, at Crowe’s or at the Salon De Beaute? Ann is quite a skater, but at the Polish Hops she cuts quite a rug. Benny Walter Jakusik 13 Railroad Street “He most of all doth bathe in bliss that hath a quiet mind.” Baseball (3, 4), Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4). Brown-haired Benny, a quiet lad of the Senior class, has been a very fine base- ball and basketball player during his years in high school. Although his main ambition is to become President, he states that his probable occupation will be Vice-President. Lady Luck can wait for him because as far as baseball is con- cerned he can always “catcher”. Blanche Catherine Jasielonis 209 Main Street “Modesty is the beauty of all women.” Blanche, medium-sized, brown-ha ired, and demure, has an agreeable personality which we are sure will enable her to go far in this ever-increasing women’s world. Blanche makes a wonderful companion, as can be found out by asking one of her numerous friends. We wish, however, that Blanche would give the boys a break some evening instead of reading a mystery story, which is her favorite pastime. How about it, Blanche? John Raymond Jasielonis 209 Main Street “Come forth into the light of things Let nature be your teacher.” John is tall, laconic, and dependable. As “J. J.” is John’s nickname, one might think he was the head of a business but we are glad to say that he is yet still a member of the Senior class. John is likable, and keenly observant. He enjoys walking through the wood, looking analytically at the wonders of nature. His ambition is to learn different kinds of trades, but he says he will probably work in the mill. “Jasielonis” not enough, J. J.; so learn those trades. You will do “awl” right, my boy.

12 THE SCREECH OWL Gertrude Lois Hanson 80 Powder Mill Road Tel. No. 311-W Dare to go after what you want.” Basketball (1 2, 3, 4), Glee Club, Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Student Council (3), Senior Social Committee (4), Banquet and Class Night Committee (4), Senior Special Chorus (4). Tall, dark-haired Gert could easily lead a parade with her good looks and so- ciability. There is room for only one in her estimation; nevertheless, she still has many, many admirers. Need we mention just which one is the lucky fellow? By the way, Elwin, she can do a fancy bit of Household Arts, too. Donald Mertin Hatch 2 Driscoll Avenue Tel. No. 474 “Well mounted on his good gray mare, He hies along the great highway.” Donald, or “Dee Dee”, is blonde and blue-eyed. He is of medium height. “Dee” is stalwart and good natured, but independent: he is frequently seen with his sleeves rolled up. His favorite hobby is tinkering noisily, but effectively with motors. He is also one of the more heavy-footed drivers who abound at M.H.S. and who are bound away at 1:15 daily. We know he’ll chug-chug to fame very soon. Robert Lincoln Hatch 27 Elmwood Street Tel. No. 623- W “Let’s look upon the brightest side of everything.” “Bobby” is readily distinguished by his jolly laugh and his endless good humor. He occupies his mind with timely topics. He likes to debate in class and out, and even in argument he is an agreeable opponent. Bobby wishes to become a landscape architect, and in such a profession, bright we are certain will be his horizon. Edward Gerald Joseph Higgins 39 Parker Street “A stalwart comrade — merry and most true.” Football (1, 2, 3, 4), Baseball (1, 2, 3), Captain (4), Picture Committee (4), Screech Owl (4), Ring Committee (3), Special Boys’ Chorus (4), Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Junior Prom Committee (3), Treasurer (3, 4), All Dance Committees. Curly-haired, blonde, and amiable, “Ding” is an athletic mainstay in M. H. S. sports. He is one of the most popular boys of the class. We hear from Eddie that his brightest moment in high school was meeting Ruth (another mainstay, we suppose). He attained nearly the highest honors in football that a player can receive, and you can “bat” that he will be a second “Babe Ruth.” Antonio Hill 15 Summer Street “A workman who is master of his craft.” Graduation Speaker (4), Orchestra (1, 2), Haunted Hotel (4). Tony is a tall, medium-complexioned, red cheeked boy with a shoulder-shaking laugh and a great fund of unsuspected dry humor. His favorite subjects are woodworking and science, and his hobby is radio. We feel he would go a long way in radio, but he wants to be an airplane mechanic, so we “gas” he’ll fly.

14 THE SCREECH OWL Robert Arthur Johnson 1 Fairfield Street “I show wit in every word.” “Oscar” is the most studious-looking boy in school, but if we delve beneath his solemn exterior we discover a genial, witty, original boy. We shall always re- member his emendation of Mark Anthony’s speech: “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears And I’ll give them back to you in ten or twenty years.” Often during the last year we have seen Oscar gravely carrying out his duties at J. J. Newberry’s. He is floor walker there — with a broom. He has also been noted “stocking” among the counters. Though not exactly new, he continues to sweep clean. Ruth E. Kaattari 43 Douglas Avenue “Thought adds strength to everyone.” Straightforward, industrious, and congenial, “Ruthie” is a Girl Scout whose pastimes run rampant. Among these are skating, swimming, reading, and draw- ing. Her ambition is to be an artist. A good word of advice can be found, as we say, “You ‘Kaattari’ on the road of life if you want to be a success.” Raymond Kane 31 Summer Street “A post of honor is a private station.” Student Council (1, 2, 3), Class Treasurer (1, 2), Screech Owl (4), Junior Prom Committee (3), Junior Ring Committee (3), Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), All Dance Committees (1, 2, 3, 4), Haunted Hotel (4), Special Boys’ Chorus (4). The U. S. Postal Service will reap a fine reward when it gets tall, handsome, and dark-haired Ray. He gets around quite a bit. He is a popular fellow with both sexes and can be seen with his Main idea at many well known dance halls, such as the Totem Pole. If Kane is “Abel” to pass his exam, the girls will have something to look forward to when he is collecting and delivering their letters. George Kari 189 Main Street “Each man makes his own stature.” Football (2, 4), Baseball (2, 4), Basketball (2, 3, 4). George, or “Tubby,” is blonde, brawny, and big-hearted. He was one of M. H. S.’s staunchest and fastest live men during this last year’s gridiron cam- paign. He also pitches a nice game of ball for the club. If you “ash” for his batting, he is far above .300. We can’t leave out basketball, and the faet that we all appreciate his hard work in all sports while working in our local M. I. T. He also bowls and plays cards, and he ought “Tubby” good in that, for he has no love interest. Andrew John Karki 27 Fairfield Street “ I am not the first and shall not be the last.” Baseball (3, 4), Basketball (3, 4), Picture Committee (4). Tall and blonde, typically trim, Andy is one of the athletes of his class. Besides his recognized efforts in baseball and basketball, he plays a good game of tennis, participates in hockey, and bowls in the high nineties. Andy would like to be an author and probably would make a good one with his many humorous stories. Every Sunday night Andy can be seen in a Marlboro theatre catching up on his moving pictures. With all these interests he should never be bored.
