PaKe Fourteen i I ETA MARGARET F. BUCKLEY “Even virtue is more fair when it appears in a beautiful person. — Verpril, Althou|rh our friend Margaret is small in stature, we implore you not to conclude falsely that her ability as a student and her warmth of friend- ship are in proportion. Margaret could be on occasion “sober, steadfast, and demure,’’ but in future years we’ll be more likely to remember her good nature, her charm of manner and that smile. You may have gathered from this the opinion that Margaret is a confirmed optimist. Correct! All that and then some. Agreeable, kind- ly, ever cheerful, talented in more ways than one — why say more. Our superlatives are exhausted and at any right rate you know now that we know in future days we’ll hear good things about this smiling sister of ’27. EDNA M. CHANDLER “Virtue is her own reward.” — Dryden. Edna is one of our South Peabody friends. With her charming smile she has captivated all. Always on the alert, quick on the repartee, we feel sure that Edna has been a diligent student and judging by the past, we are able to say that she has ever been a constant source of delight to teach- ers and student alike. There is al- ways something to be learned about a quiet student and this is so in Edna’s case. She has always main- tained an effective quietness which has added greatly to her charm. Looking into the crystal we see noth- ing but success and happiness in store for Edna. MARION D. CHETWYND “I came, I saw, I conquered.” Although Marion has not been with us for long, yet we cannot conceive of our class without her. After reading the many short stories that she has contributed to the Observer, we con- clude that she should pursue a literary career, but on further investigation, we find that Marion is equally talented in another direction. She has estab- lished a name for herself as an “artist,’’ and plans to enter Normal Art in the fall. We are confident that she will bring back to our Alma Mater her full share of honor and glory. Good luck, Marion, we’re only sorry you weren’t with us longer.

M ETA Page Thirteen KENNETH L. BODGE “Every inch a man though there were not many inches.” When Dame Nature was passing out the sizes, Kenneth must have played hookey, for he certainly lost out on his stature assignment. Although rather diminutive in figure, Kenneth has done his best to make up for it, and what he lacks in size, he makes up with his brains. During his five years with us he has shown many de- sirable qualities. Possessing a pleas- ing disposition and an ever-present wit, he numbers many friends among the class of ’27. Kenneth has assisted in making all our social affairs a suc- cess. In the classroom he has done his best and his best is usually sufficient. Good luck, Kenneth! E. RAYMOND BRADSTREET “Think wrongly if you please; but in all cases think for yourself.” — Lessing. “Ray” is the example we uncon- sciously point to when someone asks us about our conception of the perfect gentleman. He has been in our midst five short years and never have we known him to think, speak or act in any way that would reflect discredit- ably upon him. Ray came to us from West Peabody, which fact we did not hold against him after we discovered that he was a real fellow in the highest sense of the word. Talent of various kinds Ray has in abundance — so much in fact that we hesitate to choose the particula r work in which he will excell . . . but he will do something really worth while and his success in life will be well merited. CLYDE C. BROWN “Still waters run deep.” Have you noticed a robust, rosy- cheeked, good-natured looking chap driving an Oakland about the city ? If you have, you might have been gazing on our Clyde. Clyde would have grad- uated with the class of ’2(5 but an un- fortunate football injury decreed otherwise and what was ’2(5’s loss has been our gain. As we have intimated, the auto is Clyde’s chief diversion — he plays with them, he works on them, and they say that he claims for one of his cars the unique distinction of run- ning without engine oil. The class of ’27 has high hopes of rejoicing with you in many future accomplishments.

71 ETA Page Fifteen ANTHONY CHIPLINSKY “Laugh anti the world laughs? with you. Popularity certainly did not frown on “Little Chip’’ and we go on record here in expressing the belief that if ever he becomes a candidate for pub- lic office, he will find plenty of sup- port in the ranks of his friends of ’27. Coming to us five years ago from the Andover Street district of our fair city, “Chip” has made an enviable name for himself on the athletic field. A fast backfield man in the fall of the year, a clever shortstop when spring rolls around — that’s Captain Chip. With your blue eyes and flaxen locks, you could be a sheik — but then! We’ll expect to hear good things about you in the near future. JOSEPH M. CHMIEL “They also serve who only stand and wait.’ — Milton. Joe is another one of our classmates who liked the background. Being of a helpful nature, Joe was always ready to assist wherever he was needed by his classmates. Through his pleasing disposition he made many friends, both in his class and among the un- derclassmen. Although Joe never cared much for social life, he worked very hard to keep his scholastic standing high. We predict a very rosy future for Joe and if he works as well in the days to come as he did in the past, we are sure our prophecy will be fulfilled. JOHN A. CHULYK “Wit is the salt of conversation, not the food.” — Hazlitt. From the viewpoint of size “Doc” is almost a negligible quantity, but con- sidered from the aspect of energy, he is as dynamic as Napoleon. Whenever there is an argument, you may be sure to find John engrossed heart and soul. His bubbling enthusiasm and zest for life have continually en- couraged us in our pursuits, and smoothed the ragged edge of whatever disappointments befell us. In the classroom, he was a diligent worker, ever anxious to grasp the fundamen- tals of each new system. We do not hesitate to say that the owner of such an infectious grin cannot help but have a happy and a prosperous future.
