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.

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.

Pa re Sixteen .1 E T A DOROTHY A. CLANCY “Smile the while.” “Dot” is incited one of out ' class- mates whose f)artins ' we deeply re- ejet. Her lively disposition has made her an appreciated member of the (lass, with “Laugh and the world laughs with you” as her motto. She certainly proved heiself a star in the game of basketball and seldom missed her shot at a basket. Besides this. Dot has showed no slight ability as a student, displaying a keen interest in all that concerns her. We hope she does not end her education at our Alma Mater, but rather chooses to accept greater opportunities to fit her- self for a worthwhile position in the great business world. Whatever the future may hold in store for her, she will make the best of it and in parting we can but chorus “Bon Voyage.” NATHAN C. COHEN “Care was forgotten in his composition.” Cheerful at all times, Nate was a decided asset to the class of ' 27. He was an eriually good companion in time of success or in time of mis- fortune. Whenever affairs became monotonous we could always depend UDon “Nate” to break the monotony. We, of the class of ’27, will always remember his sterling character and his cheerful determination to over- come all the difficulties that he en- countered durhig his High School course. “Nate’s” good humor was al- ways on top and his ready wit paid his admission to the intimate circles of the student body. We shall not be .sui ' prised to see “Nate” some day elevated to the dignity of an import- ant position in the world. CHARLES J. COLLINS “Sincerity and truth are the basis of every virtue.” — Confucius. Always serious and in earnest “Charlie” is held high in the esteem of his c ' assmates. This big fellow, by his valuable playing last season as lineman on the varsity football team, has eai ' ned his “P.” In addition to his football activity he has been faithful to his scholastic duties which he has performed with a quiet but persever- ing diligence. “Charlie” has been a class booster and whenever class spirit has been lacking, he has punished the sluggard with a verbal lashing. His graduation is the culmination of five years of conscientious effort and we f- el that some day he will make the class of ’27 proud to have numbered him among its members.
