META Page Twenty-nine BERTHA L. LAME “Silence is the essential condition of happi- ness.” Bertha is one of the popular resi- dents of the most social community of our city. Although very much in- terested in the Girl Scouts she has not let it interfere with her school work. She will relinquish her great seat of honor in the school bus to some other West Peabody student next year. The best of wishes to you, Bertha, for the future. LILLIAN LEVIN Gaiety and a light heart are the best medi- cine for all !” WOMAN ' S CLUB AGORA SPANISH CLUB Have you ever strolled down the corridor and noticed a certain young lady talking rapidly to everyone with- in hearing distance ? And was she continually laughing? Well, that’s “Lil.” Her music teacher advised her to exercise her vocal chords at every opportunity. We wonder if that is the reason for her continual chatter in class ? WILLIAM L. LINEHAN Music cleanses the understanding. AGORA CLASS PLAY META STAFF Happy-go-lucky, carefree and gay, these characteristics aptly sum up the traits of witty “Will.” He has been conspicuous many times as a pianist at assemblies when he rendered pop- ular and pleasing tunes for the en- joyment of the student body. Bill’s favorite pastime, “wise cracks.”

Page Twenty-eight META REDMOND J. KILEY “Good things come in small packages.’’ CLASS FOOTBALL CLASS BASKETBALL CLASS BASEBALL Just to prove the truth of the above quotation, we introduce, with no in- considerable pride, our own freckle- faced “Red.” What a Romeo! All he needs is a cane, and the original Beau Brummel would blush for shame. We wonder if it could have been “Red” who inspired the author of “Flaming Youth.” OLGA L. KLEMM “So runs my catalogue of lovely things.” WOMAN’S CLUB AGORA And now, ladies and gentlemen, let us introduce to you Olga Klemm. Or perhaps you know her? No doubt you do, for she is known to all because of her engaging manner and ever ready smile. Although Olga has never cared to boast of her scholastic attainments, she has. nevertheless, been zealous in preparing her studies. EINAR KOLHONEN “Knowledge is the treasure, but judgement is the treasurer of the wise man.” DRUM MAJOR SCIENCE CLUB AGORA Undoubtedly most of us know Einar as a strutting drum major, but only few realize the fact that he is also a chemist of no mean ability. Whether he chooses a career with the blaring brass of the band or among the fragile tubes of the “lab.” he is bound to win a high place in the world.

LITTLE “A friend may well be reckoned the master- piece of Nature.” GIRLS - VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM SPANISH CLUB Laughing and dancing her way into our hearts, her smile like a ray of sunshine — such a girl is “Al.” She is continuously on the go, talking and making merry throughout her school life. In further continuance of the happy school career may her life be overflowing with cheery sunshine. LEONARD V. LUCEY “Good humor is the health of the soul.” AGORA CLASS FOOTBALL A pleasant likeable fellow is “Lenny,” and a favorite among his classmates. “Smile all the while,” is his motto and he believes that it should be everyone’s. We wish you the best of luck, Lenny, and hope you wear the same smile through life that you wore so consistently while in our midst. DORIS E. MALONEY “Here’s a little girl and you know her, too, With smiles and smiles galore for you.” TRAFFIC SQUAD WOMAN ' S CLUB FRENCH CLUB CLASS BASKETBALL META STAFF Hello, folks. What? You don ' t know her? Of course you do! And sure enough, it’s Doris! Who can miss her with that ever-ready responsive smile! They say that good things always come in small packages and indeed here is one instance where we find it to be true.
