Page Twenty META BERNARD C. DULLEA “I wouM be friends with you. and have your love.” — Shakespeare. Here is a member who is both scholarly and athletic. His work as a scholar has indeed been gratifying to teachers and students alike. During his senior year his name appeared on the honor roll each time. You appre- ciate him still further upon closer ac- quaintanceship when you bask in his smiles and laugh at his quips. As an athlete, he holds the esteem of every- body in the school. He played the tackle position on the football team and was certainly “there.” A close observer would have noticed the cheery countenance of our hero as he engaged in battle. We understand that “Duke” intends to matriculate at N. H. University and needless to say we’re sending him our best wishes for success. R. IRENE DURKEE So runs my catalogue of lovely things.” With regret we say “farewell” to Irene, for her qualities marked by cleverness, intelligence and alertness are prominent. But in another sense, we are proud to send her out as an alumna of our Alma Mater. Her sin- cerity of purpose has gained for her a place in the esteem of her co-work- ers; her alertness, a place in the memory of her instructors. As Irene was not self-interested, she uncon- sciously gained popularity. Although always in a hurry, she could always find time to speak a pleasant word or bestow a brightening smile. “Best wishes, Irene.” MARY H. DWYER Either I will find a way or make one.” Does anyone need an introduction to Mary? Although she has been with us only two years, she has suc- ceeded in becoming one of our class officers. The fact that she was elected secretary of the Senior Class, is in itself proof of her popularity. She was always prominent in school ac- tivities, dancing being her chief in- terest. Mary was always a lover of books, although her tastes did not in- clude over-indulgence in study. She always had a ready repartee, which, with her quick wit and kindness, will aid her in the making of friends in the future.

She is as kind hearted as she is witty and is a good friend to all who know her. Her name has been on the honor role a number of times, which proves that she tries to learn and succeeds in doing so. She has been an active member of the gym class where she has made a name for herself with her good work there. She has always fought her battles with a smile and so far has been the winner. Keep on, “Katie,” the road to success is long, and we wish you luck. RAYMOND J. DOYLE “Actions speak louder than words.” Do you know Ray? If not, where have you been ? But on second thought there are a few people who don’t follow football — and since Ray was quiet in a superlative degree, per- haps a word or two will not be amiss. In his senior year Ray was elected a member of the executive committee of his class — and the success of the various projects undertaken by the class reflect not a little of the quiet but effective assistance rendered by Ray. But did we mention football ? Ah, yes! That was Ray’s forte. He played tackle — and he could tackle — and in bidding him adieu, we express the sincere hope that he’ll tackle and tackle hard the problems that lie ahead. LOUIS DUBOWICZ “His worth is warrant for his welcome.” — Shakespeare. When we meet “Louis” on the street we are always glad to see him, for there is a spirit of friendship in his greeting. This is what we mean by his introductory motto. His smile and handclasp certainly mean a lot to us. He is not one of the honor students, but he has always given a good ac- count of himself wherever he had the inclination to do so. To bask in “Louie’s” smile, is a pleasant sensa- tion which we have experienced dur- ing his term with us. Equipped to sail the troubled waters of life as he is, we can see that he will venture forth on the sea with good fortune.

M ETA Page Twenty-one BURRILL C. EARP “Diligence is the mother of good fortune.” Burrill, too, was quiet and reserved. So quiet indeed was this lad from the southern section of our fair city, that his oratorical prowess was not dis- covered until well along in senior year when his powers were finally brought into the light of day. Then, however, he addressed the assembly on two occasions and so eloquently did he “speak his piece” that we do not hesitate to say that he is a worthy pupil of Demosthenes. As a student, Burrill ranked well in all branches and in addition he is a “plugger.” We feel sure that if he keeps “plugging” he will undoubtedly “get there.” FRANCIS J. FITZPATRICK “Music hath its charms.” “Fitzie,” man of the ivories — has been a real asset to us, and we are prone to believe that he will find his calling on the stage. Surely all the experience he has had at the Peabody High School auditorium will be re- warded in future years. Already he has played with local orchestras and proved himself a favorite. We have found Francis always agreeable and enthusiastic, never unwilling to offer his services, and we are confident that success awaits him just around the corner. We are sending forth as staunch wearers of the blue and white — embryo doctors, lawyers, teachers and preachers. “Fitzie,” you are our chief contribution to the world of music. MARY FLATTERY “Her smile like a rainbow flashing from a misty sky.” Someone once asked, “Did you ever see that girl without a smile?” We can safely and emphatically assure them “no.” Maiy has been active in social events and has never failed to be present at any of the dances. Al- though studying never caused her any excess worry, she managed to re- ceive good marks. Mary, after con- sidering various positions, has decided to become a telephone operator. This ought to give her a chance to prove what her sunny disposition can do. The telephone company has received a valuable member in Mary and we are sure that if they do not already ap- preciate the fact, they soon will.
