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.

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.

Page Eighteen M E T A MELITA E. DAWE “Great feelings hath she of her own Which lesser souls may never know.” AGORA SPANISH CLUB WOMAN ' S CLUB Now “Queenie,” as this young lady is known to all her friends, is rather small, but she makes up for her lack of height in winsome personality. For four short years she has journeyed from the “South” in her quest of knowledge. At the same time she has proved herself a warm, helpful friend to all her classmates. HELEN M. DeFREITAS “It ' s nice to be natural when you ' re natural- ly nice.” SPANISH CLUB AGORA WOMAN ' S CLUB As one of our honor students, Helen ranks highly in her school work. Rather timid at times, she surprises us with sudden bursts of spirit. She is an accomplished typist and has already won several prizes in this branch of her studies, leading us to prophesy success in business to this smiling daughter of ’29. DOROTHY A. DIXON “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.” Here is the essence of good fellow- ship. Anyone who has talked for even one moment with “Dot” knows the remedy for the blues. As an enthu- siastic supporter of all class func- tions, she has been particularly inter- ested in the musical sections of the various programs. In bidding “Dot” au revoir, we unite in wishing her the best of all that life can give her.
