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.

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!

Page Twenty-two ,1 E T A ALMA M. GLENCROSS “To be amiable is most certainly a virtue.” WOMAN S CLUB One of our retiring classmates, seldom pushing herself into the lime- light, but yet always willing to do her part in our class activities, is Alma. A quiet diligence has marked her days among us, and we have been constantly aware of the splendid qualities concealed beneath her un- assuming nature. MORRELL GOLDBERG Oh ! keep me innocent. Make others great.” VARSITY FOOTBALL FRENCH CLUB VARSITY BASKETBALL OBSERVER STAFF META Morrell can argue about any sub- ject in such a way that one would think him well versed on the topic in question. As an authority on ques- tions of the heart, he is unsurpassed. We can picture our future attorney winning a losing case by his fiery elo- quence. Space forbids more. HYMAN GOLDSTEIN Responsibility walks hand in hand with capacity. SENIOR CLASS TREASURER ORCHESTRA OBSERVER STAFF FRENCH CLUB META The variable list of accomplishments that our diminutive orchestra leader possesses would fill a book of encyclo- pedic size. Besides guarding the class treasury, doing traffic duty, playing the sax and wiiting for the Observer, “Hy” has found time to in- struct some of the more aspiring lesser lights in the fine art of fiddling.
