META Page Twenty-three MOSES GOLDSTEIN “This world belongs io the energetic. META STAFF BAND ORCHESTRA AGORA TREASURER According to Ralph Waldo Emerson, our friend “Mose” is due to receive a large share of the world. We won- det what musical organization will be so fortunate in later years to boast of, as their bass-est horn player, our own busy “Mose.” Another thing, we’ll all agree that “Mose” is some business man. MAURICE T. HALLINAN Simplicity of manner is the best attainment.” CLASS FOOTBALL VARSITY BASEBALL AGORA Although “Red” doesn’t have much to say, he dashes through trial bal- ances on high and takes dictation in a way that would do justice to Mr. Giegg himself. We, his classmates and friends, wish him the very best of luck and hope that he will be suc- cessful in all that he undertakes. BESSIE M. HANNAFORD “There’s many a road io travel but it’s ibis road today. TRAFFIC SQUAD Bessie, perhaps more intimately known as “Hannah” has been one of our beaming traffic officers during her senior year. Her splendid success in handling traffic problems outside Room 11 leads us to believe that her faculty of leadership will be mani- fested in the future in other channels — and with as marked success.

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.

Page Twenty-four M ETA ALICE E. IIAYES “A sweet and gracious smile, the index of a sweet and gracious nature.” SECRETARY OF .JUNIOR CLASS VICE PRESIDENT OF SENIOR CLASS META STAFF SPANISH CLUB WOMAN ' S CLUB A merry twinkle in her eyes, a cheery smile wreathing her counte- nance, a contagious laugh — all these characteristics identify our “Al.” Taking part in all the social activi- ties, Alice, however, applies herself diligently in her studies. Through her competent ability, Alice will remain, though we leave, as a member of the faculty. JOSEPH P. HENRY “Modesty is the conscience of the body” CLASS FOOTBALL CLASS BASKETBALL Did you ever hear of the “Senior Flash” or the “Dashing Fullback?” That’s plucky “Joe.” The manner in which he came back and made up studies lost after an unfortunate in- jury in football is proof enough that “Joe” is also a conscientious student. MELVIN HERSHENSON The hearts of men are their books : events are their tutors ; great actions their eloquence. VARSITY BASEBALL META VARSITY BASKETBALL CLASS PLAY OBSERVER Approximately five and one-half feet of business qualifications, plenty of pep, and “beauc-oup” personality, when mixed together will yield no other product than “Mel,” the well- known gentleman from Perkins Park. By the way, have you ever heard him play the saxophone ?
