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!

■ 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.

M ETA Page Twenty-one JAMES T. FLEMING CHARLES T. FOX ESTHER F. GILMAN “Poets utter great and wise things.” VARSITY FOOTBALL CLASS FOOTBALL OBSERVER STAFF META STAFF If you are in search of a person with a sense of humor, look up “Jim.” This young man is the cause of more than one laugh that is excited in the “Gang.” By observing his poetic efforts we may assume that we have a second Shakespeare in our midst. “Good nature is the very air of a good mind.” CLASS BASKETBALL CLASS FOOTBALL AGORA “Chucker” is the type of fellow who thinks much and says but little until he commences. His earnest desire to help at all times has earned for him the friendship of all. Although un- able to compete for varsity basketball, “Charlie” was right at the helm to direct our class team. “The highest graces of music flow from the feelings of the heart.” WOMAN ' S CLUB SPANISH CLUB Here is another product of Peabody High and one of whom we certainly should be proud. Besides being an efficient bookkeeper, Esther can boast of being a talented pianist. She has never spoken of her ambitions to us, but we know that there is some surprise in store for us in the future.
