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.

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.

M E T .4 Paj?e Sseventen RAYMOND J. CONNORS “The power to do great things generally arises from the willingness to do small things.” To be sure “Ray” hasn’t been one of the scintillating members of the class of ’27 either in scholastic activities or athletics. This is due, we are sure, more to his own desire to remain out of the limelight than to any inability. “Ray” is possessed, however, of a personality which is excelled by few and envied by many. Always jovial and smiling, “Ray” has gained the admiration of all and few indeed are those who have not been comforted by his cheerful greetings. According to all reports, “Ray” is moi’e or less mechanically inclined and we all look forward to seeing him accomplish worthy deeds along these lines. MARIE G. CULLEN “It is not enough to have great qualities ; we must also have the management of them.” — Anon. Marie has always been such a quiet girl that there are some of our class- mates who have never fully appreciat- ed the sterling qualities that lie behind her reserve. Those of us who have been privileged to be numbered among her friends are fully aware of the vast amount of determination behind a very calm and shy exterior. Depend- ability is one other quality that Marie possesses in abundance and we can only say in parting, that this quality, fostered and developed will do much to bring Marie far up the ladder of success. You were quiet, Marie, but you will be one of our treasured memories. ANDREW DABOSE “His heart has learned to glow.” — Odyssey. “Andy” was a brilliant half-back on our championship football team and his frequent appearance on the gridiron garbed in white stockings, led to his designation as “the galloping ghost.” In the classroom “Andy” was a physics “shark” and he once com- puted the amount of salt in the At- lantic ocean. American History was one of his specialties, his memory often surpassing that of the recog- nized scholastic geniuses. “Andy” proposes to manage a circus some day. He hasn’t the slightest idea what his feature attraction will be, but we think “Andy” himself, could serve in that capacity. Knowing him as we do, we think “Andy” will make an equally good scientist or circus mag- nate.
