Forty-two , 1 ETA M. EDITH PERKINS “Thoughtful and wise she goes her way.” WOMAN’S CLUB “Edie” is one of our gentle, quiet girls, well liked by her numerous friends, who efficiently performs her allotted tasks without overdue worry or noise. Her calm smile and sub- dued laugh will always distinguish Edith in this bustling, noisy world. BENJAMIN M. PECHINSKY “Care ' s an enemy to life.” “Benny”’ has passed his High School years with us in a very unob- trusive manner. He has gone along without flinching and has attained success. There are those who go along with blare of trumpets and waving of banners, and those who walk alone straight and forward. Benny is of the latter type. We feel confident that he will win a high posi- tion for himself in the business world he is now to enter. BARBARA E. POOR “Strike while the iron is hot. Although she hails from West Pea- body, Barbara is not, as her name im- plies, a “stranger.” On the contrary she is very much the opposite, for the vivacity and impulsiveness of her nature have made her always a center of sport and merriment. Who can think that there is other than attain- ment and happiness waiting for “Barb” just around the corner ?

META Forty-one ELIZABETH P. OSBORNE “Character is a diamond that scratches every other stone.” OBSERVER META WOMAN’S CLUB Here we have “Lib.” one of the sweetest, friendliest girls we have ever known. Throughout the five years she has ever been ready and willing to smooth the rough places in our journey and to brighten the rou- tine of our lives with her welcome friendliness. RAYMOND W. PATENAUDE And thou, — thou makest the sad heart gay.” VARSITY FOOTBALL CLASS FOOTBALL CAPTAIN. TRAFFIC SQUAD A lively, spirited, young man is Ray, with a ready smile and a cheery word for all. He is well liked by both boys and girls and is a keen lover of merriment and sport. Ray works during the day, but after closing hours — well, just try to find him! VIRGINIA E. PEABODY “They will be most highly valued where they are best and longest known.” TRAFFIC SQUAD META “Ginny” is the one to whom we go when we seek that something that is not exactly sympathy, nor is it criti- cism. Perhaps the word is “under- standing.” In her own sweet way she takes a place in our hearts to be filled by no other. We bid her good luck on her journey into the waiting world.

META Forty-threa GERTRUDE G. POTASH “She loves her work and shuns no duty.” BASKETBALL Here we have a popular, dark- haired will o’ the wisp, active among her friends and in her home and school. Her particular hobby is enter- taining. One remarkable thing about Gertrude is, that she never allows herself to become a prey to nerves, but is always calm and serene. GORDON S. REDMAN “Silence is golden.” Gordon has never been heard to say an unnecessary word, but “still waters run deep.” As he talks but little, he gives only a limited amount of information about himself. In so far as we are able to ascertain, Gor- don believes in storing up his energy for the future. “Then watch my smoke,” says he, EARL L. RICH “Cheering, laughing, moving on.” OBSERVER BAND META STRAND NIGHT TRAFFIC SQUAD An all-round good fellow, is the way in which teachers and class- mates alike refer to Earl. Being one of the few who know there is a limit to everything, he refrains from carrying his witticisms too far and with all his humor, he has done excel- lent work as a student. It is with the most sincere wishes for future happi- ness that we bid him “au revoir.”
