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.”

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 ?

Forty-four META RUTH G. RICKER It is not how great a place you fill, Hut how good you till the place.” “Ricky” with her ready smile and good cheer for all whom she meets upon the way occupies a large place in the hearts of her classmates. Her friends are numerous among both “Commercials” and “Classicals.” Wherever she may go in future life, the place assigned to her will be mod- estly and efficiently graced by her presence. THOMAS M. RIKKOLA Behavior is a mirror in which everyone shows his image.” Because of his splendid disposition and quiet, retiring manner, Tom is well liked by his classmates. Al- though not a participant in the lead- ing sports at school, he more than succeeded in golf and hockey. His character and his personality are sure to find success for him as he leaves High School for the larger field of work. ANNA M. ROCHE For she was just the quiet kind. Whose nature never varies.” Though Anna has been with us but for four years, we have come to value her friendship and appreciate her comradeship. Quietness is usually an indication of deep thought and we know that underneath her demureness there are many plans which, in the future, will be successfully fulfilled.
