MARGARET OLEARV In Me oria I I When Peggy O’Leary passed away December 2, 1938, she left a space — a very large space in all her friends’ hearts. But at the same time she left, perhaps, better dispositions, more understanding, and more sportsmanlike per- sonalities in all of us who knew her. Her personality was such that all who came in contact with her would never forget her pleasing and happy appear- ance. She lived down South the years preceding her coming here, and started her career at B. H. S. as a sophomore. While at Brookline High School, Peggy was a violinist in the orchestra and played at every occasion when the organiza- tion appeared. The basketball team claimed her as a forward for two years, and when they played against Newton, she was right there helping Brookline along. Her homeroom, 236, elected Peggy vice chairman, an office which made her a representative to the Akers House Council. Here her original ideas were expressed and showed their worth by very often being carried out. A wonder- ful school spirit, which could serve as an example to many a pupil, showed itself in her attendance at football and basketball games. We have all of us lost something, a wonderful girl, an excellent athlete, but above all, we have lost a grand friend.
