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.

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.

THE SCREECH OWL 15 Winthrop A. Kenfield Rockland Avenue “Goa ts are not sold at every fair.” Permit us to introduce Winthrop, our goat farmer. Winthrop’s bearing is most manly. He holds his shoulders in true military form. Wink is a short, stocky, and personable fellow who can be seen busily scurrying around Wool worth’s 5 and 10c store. He enjoys his work in school as well as at the store which is one-half the way to success. He hasn’t got a bear, but is just a little “goatee” raiser. This hobby is modest, butt it gives him hours of pleasure, and we aren’t kidding either. Catherine Ellen King 37 Sudbury Street “ The fairest garden in her looks And in her mind the wisest hooks.” Student Council (2), Picture Committee (4). Katie, tall, blonde, and charming, has one of the prettiest smiles in the class. Her darkest moment in high school, sad to say, came when the draft went into effect. Well, don’t worry, Katie, maybe the army might let you breeze into Camp Edwards and see — ah, well, see. Many are the times her musical voice has pleased her classmates; so there will be many telephone calls made when she becomes an operator just to hear her cheery “Hello.” John E. King, Jr. 7 Thomas Street Tel. No. 662 -W “His knowledge and his eloquence increase with each new moment.” Class Prophecy (4), Basketball (2, 3, 4), Ring Committee (3), Prom Committee (3), Picture Committee (4), Student Council (3, 4), All Dance Committees. Dark haired, blue-eyed, and with an infectious smile, “Kingy” seems to use the wo.ld as a door mat. A natural quarter-back, his words of encouragement have blasted back to action many a weary teammate. Among his many activities is his daily errand for Room 23. “Girls,” he says, “are poison.” We’ve seen the day when it was quite the opposite, “Kingie.” We know that in whatever you try you will be “king” “Annie” time. Walter Francis Kitowicz 15 Pleasant Street Graduation Speaker (4), Outing Committee (4). Short, very fair, “Keats’ ” luminous brown eyes and quiet manner have won for him many friends. Among these is a certain female Freshman. Walter is un- doubtedly one of intelligentsia of M. H. S.; vide his unvarying high scholastic record. We can’t see where he gets the time to study; maybe between pins. He aspires to become an engineer and enter Worcester Polytech. If you “tender” your business and “caboose” up your college marks and become well “trained,” we are sure you’ll have smooth tracks ahead. Pauline Ellen Koch 18 Park Street “Apple blossoms are beautiful, but dumplings are better.” Presentation of Class Gifts (4), Haunted Hotel (4). “Kochy” excels in the art of cooking, for collecting recipes is her hobby. Her favorite pastime is sewing, which combined with cooking makes her well qualified for a lovely housewife. This and her good looks and charming personality will aid her also in attaining her chosen profession as a secretary. She is also one of the school’s potential contributions to Broadway for her achievements in the English Club Play. She is a likable girl as can be noted by her election to pre- sent the senior class gifts.
