■ ME T A Page Nineteen ROSE M. DOUGLAS “Our thoughts and our conduct are our own.’’ AGORA CLASS BASKETBALL SPANISH CLUB Quiet, self-contained and modest, Rose makes scarcely a ripple in our midst. However, it is needless to say we appreciate her quiet sociability. Al- though she was not with us in all of our course, Rose quietly but surely made many friends among the mem- bers of ’29. ALICE E. DUCHENE “None but the living soul is fit for the study of art.” META STAFF FRENCH CLUB Alice has two loves, one a paint brush and the second, an auto. The paint brush, she wields like a master; the auto, she drives like Barney Old- field. We’ll remember “Al” in future days, not only for her excellent work in art, but also for the very vivacious manner that is so happily hers. MARGARET J. DUNN “Can any mortal mixture of earth’s mould Breathe such divine enchanting ravishment.” WOMAN’S CLUB FRENCH CLUB BASKETBALL AGORA Giggles and smiles are the charms by which “Babe” or “Peggy” endeared herself to her friends. Her aim in life was to be a “school marm,” but she now has decided to become a pri- vate secretary to a prominent business man. Here’s luck “Babe” and may you receive the best that life can offer.

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.

Page Twenty META VIRGINIA I. DURKEE “Lady, whose bright eyes rain influence.” OBSERVER STAFF META STAFF CHEER LEADER “Gin” our spirited, lively cheer leader! A smiling, cheery young lady is she whose merry laughter is heard many times a day. Her pleasing per- sonality together with her simple sin- cerity and frankness has been the cause of her popularity among the members of ’29. This friendly little lady the world will receive with open arms. MURIEL E. EARP “It is not strength, but art obtains the prize And to be swift is less than to be wise.” META STAFF OBSERVER STAFF WOMAN S CLUB Features of cameo-like perfection, plus dark hair and eyes make of Muriel a pretty picture indeed. She is an artist, with an exceptional talent for painting water color landscapes and excellent posters. Her drawings in the Meta, and Observer added much to the attractiveness of these school publications. VICTOR ESKENAS “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” CLASS FOOTBALL AGORA FRENCH CLUB A happy pal needs no introduction. Therefore “Vic” is no stranger to any of us. Constant good nature and a laughing expression are but a few of the characteristics that will serve to hold him in our memories long ' after diplomas are awarded. What a student! What a companion!
