META Page Twenty-seven MARY V. HOSMAN “The hidden soul of harmony.” Because she is small, Mary has never been extremely conspicuous in class. We cannot tell all of her char- acter when she is in class, because she is naturally shy when requested to ap- pear before her classmates. When Mary is with her particular friends, she is a real girl. A pupil would have to be a close friend of Mary if he would like to come in contact with the spacious heart which she hides under her unassuming exterior. Her friends might well feel sorry for the rest of the Senior class, because they are not to enioy the warm, affection- ate nature with which Mary has been so bountifully blessed. IRVING J. HUDSON “Silence is golden.” Irving is one of those quiet fellows who improves in our esteem by close association and surprises us with his bit of wit and humor. Forced absences have caused him to loose much time in school, but by careful work he has been fortunate enough to maintain a good standing in class. Always helpful and ready to lend a hand to the needy he has been a valued member of our group. Al- though he has not as yet planned his future work we are of the opinion that he will make good wherever he goes. A quiet efficiency has always marked him in his studies and surely ought to bring definite and satisfac- tory results. Irving, may good for- tune ever be yours. EVELYN M. HUGHES “Derived from nature ' s noblest part.” Always serious and in earnest about studies, Evelyn stands high in the esteem of her classmates. Such an accumulation of knowledge as she has obtained in high school is not only its own reward, but carries with it the prophecy of a brilliant career. She has proved an able secretary for the associate members of the Woman’s Club and has also been a regular at- tendant of the Dickens Club. As one of the editors of the Observer Chronicle, her assistance was much valued. Altogether, her school record has b een without reproach and one worthy to be held up as a model for undergraduates who are to follow,

Page Twenty-six M ETA IRENE G. HERRON “Thy modesty is a candle to thy merit.” — Fielding. Irene is small in body to be sure, but large in heart and large in mind. With a cheerful smile and an attract- ive disposition, she has the ability of making and retaining true friends. Although quiet and retiring, Irene is always ready with a satisfactory reci- tation, no matter what the subject. She is one of those bright commercial students who intends to enter the busy business world. We are certain of her success in later life, if her school record is an indicator. We wish you “bon voyage” in your trip through life, Irene, and we are confident that you will attain all the success that you so well deserve. HAZEL M. HETHERINGTON “I am constant as the northern star.” - — Shakespeare. Of course you all know Hazel, don’t you ? She’s a dark-eyed, willing girl with short, raven locks, a girl who always has a host of friends surround- ing her because she is very fond of good times, has a sunny disposition and is always ready to laugh at a good joke. However, Hazel has not once been absent from her place on the highest honor roll. By the way, she is a newspaper reporter, and whenever a South Peabodyite meets her on the street, she just smiles and says “any news?” We’re not afraid to send Hazel upon the great journey of life. ELINOR G. HOBBS “The highest graces of music flow from the feelings of the heart.” — Emmons. We are indeed glad to number Elinor as one of the valuable members of our class. Possessed of a jovial dis- position and a pleasing personality, she easily won for herself many ad- miring friends. Throughout the five years that she spent with us, she proved herself a valuable asset to the class by her willingness to assist in all our activities. Elinor came to school to seek knowledge and worked accordingly. By paying close atten- tion to her studies and carefully pre- paring her daily lessons, she became one of the shining lights of her classes. She has the best wishes of her classmates who cannot but pre- dict a successful future for her in her chosen profession of law.

Page Twenty-eight META JOSEPH W. INGALLS “Reading maketh a full man. Bacon. “Bucky,” as he is familiarly known, has been a joy to all of us. With his fun and good c-heer, he has changed many a “blue” day into one bright and shining. Success in the full sense of the word is truly in store for him when he leaves us on his con- quest of the world. “A sunny nature overcomes storms.” Surely this maxim will prove true in the case of this chum of ours. With his jovial wit and his pranks, we bid him farewell as he goes to fill more hearts with the sunshine of his soul. Good luck, “Bucky,” we’ll celebrate with you in future years. DONALD D. JEFFERS “He was serious in a serious cause.” His many admirable qualities have endeared Donald to the hearts of his classmates. A friendly argument is ever his delight and often has he demonstrated his staunch loyalty to his own ideals. His quiet ways are indicative of what he has proved to be — a scholar of high rank. His in- terest in his studies is equally dis- tributed and he stands well in them all. With college as his present aim, he has been heedful and attentive in his class work to insure his success in the accomplishment of that end. His high ambitions are a promise that he will reflect much credit on Peabody High. KENNETH J. KEITH “Take thy banner! May it wave Proudly over good and brave!” — Longfellow Kenneth is one of the members of our class who has a sober, steadfast nature. Though never boasting of his prowess, he is a lad of great ability, and the friends of his school days have been won by his quiet, master- ful and unassuming ways. His courte- ous manner and good habits, at all times, have merited for him the re- spect of both teacher and classmate. However, in spite of that shy reserve which is so characteristic of him, we often discern a twinkle in his eye, and wonder just what is going on be- hind the curtain of that studious na- ture, and just when that curtain shall drop and reveal the boy, himself. Thi stars phophesy a brilliant future for Kenneth.
