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 ?

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.

META Page Twenty-five EDNA M. HESSELTINE “Knowledge comes, but Wisdom lingers” FRENCH CLUB WOMAN ' S CLUB AGORA “Laugh and the world laughs with you,” is the motto that Edna lives up to in her school life. Who could help but like this good natured “jeune fille” with her infectious smile. Edna has the personality one hears about so often these days and contrary to the general rule of the fair sex, blondes are Edna’s weakness. GENEIEVE L. HILLMAN “The laughter of the girls is, and ever was, among the delightful sounds of earth. “ META STAFF SPANISH CLUB PEABODY WOMAN ' S CLUB “Gen,” the merry, laughing girl whose giggle is so infectious! Her good nature and congenial attitude, to- gether with her jolly and mirthful comradeship, has made us all enjoy her presence. And we can indeed say that “Gen’s” excellent scholastic record has proved her ability to learn and laugh at the same time. GLADYS E. HILLS “Sae sweetly move her genty limbs Like music notes o’ lovers hymns.” WOMAN’S CLUB META STAFF The sweetest girl in the senior class, is the title Gladys can wear to perfection. Of course “Glad” is like her name, everyone would know that. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of the day when she embarks on her career of nui-sing. How the sick will then become well!
