PajJie Sixteen M ETA JOHN CHERWEK “Men of few words are the best men.” Blonde hair, pleasing countenance, and quiet manners are the points of character by which “Johnny” is dis- tinguished. As an authority on radios, we recommend him to be an advisor of the highest type. It is understood that “Johnny” aspires to be a radio announcer. Good luck! SHELDON S. CHURCHILL “Heroes are made, not born.” VARSITY FOOTBALL (4) CLASS FOOTBALL (4) With the term aquatics, one will almost immediately associate the name of “Sheld.” At his chosen avo- cation, swimming, Sheldon has no peer in our student world. Jolly, sociable, nonchalant, he wends his merry way leaving a host of loyal admiring friends in his wake. You just can’t resist him. MARY T. CONNOLLY Such popularity must be deserved. SECRETARY OF SENIOR CLASS META STAFF CAPTAIN OF THE VARSITY BASKETBALL OBSERVER STAFF SENIOR PLAY Mary, our popular secretary, fairly bubbles with charm and vivacity from the tips of her toes to the utmost curl on the top of her red head. But wait, friends and classmates, don’t think for even one second that our “Connie” is frivolous. No indeed she is destined to be a dignified school ma’am.

OBSERVER STAFF FRENCH CLUB META STAFF WOMAN ' S CLUB That happy little girl who runs about the corridors stopping here and there to chat is “Edie.” She is well liked by both girls and boys and is known to all as a keen lover of fun and frolic. Her friendly qualities make her an ideal pal for everyone. “He alone has energy who cannot be de- prived of it.” TRAFFIC SQUAD FRENCH CLUB Do you know “Wes,” the go-getter? Who doesn’t? “Red” has made a rep- utation around these parts as a very persuasive and convincing salesman. They tell us that he is a real business man during the day but after business hours — “Wes” and his flivver — well, they go places. “Modesty seldom resides in a breast that is not enriched with noble virtues.” A quiet, unassuming young lady is the one we now meet, one who is ac- curate and efficient in all of her school work. Although not active in class projects she has made and con- tinues to keep a large number of friends who will always wish her true success in whatever she may attempt.

META Page Seventeen THOMAS M. CONNOLLY Lord of himself, though not of lands, And having nothing, yet hath all.” CAPTAIN VARSITY FOOTBALL TRAFFIC SQUAD AGORA CLASS BASEBALL FRENCH CLUB If silence were golden, “Jock,” as he is known, would be a multi-million- aire. Five years ago “Jock” was a quiet, unknown, sub-Freshman; today he is still quiet but one of the best known and best liked members of his class. We’re sure he’ll make a name for himself in future years. BEULAH E. COOMBS “Diligence is the mother of good fortune.” WOMAN’S CLUB Beulah, a small and modest mem- ber of our class has diligently and conscientiously demonstrated her abil- ity in her pursuit of knowledge. Beu- lah, we are indeed sure that your nat- ural ability will help you to win the success in life for which you have pre- pared so well. MARIE E COSTELLO “Merit is worthier than fame.” FRENCH CLUB WOMAN’S CLUB We shall remember “Rie” as a fun- loving and vivacious little miss, whose cheery smiles and merry giggles have won her a warm spot in the hearts of her classmates. Marie is planning to enter Salem Normal School. Best wishes, Marie. Lucky will be the pupils entrusted to your care.
