Text from Pages 1 - 118 of the 1931 volume:

2013 . 5.99 Yearbook Jfiin ' liuirit Our days together are numbered and soon we’ll say “good-bye” and march forward to meet life’s joys and sorrows, to contend with the tide of depression to reach the cove of prosperity and success. These we must face alone, with- out the guiding hand of a friend and teacher which has safely piloted us through our five years in high school. But we would remember these happy days and the dear associates which lightened every burden. We could not forget their little characteristics, their charms, and yes, their faults. Yet we are reminded that time dulls memory, and obliterates those faces which now so vividly fill our eyes. Td this end, that of preserving the faces of our friends, their ambitions and hopes, we present this book. Its pages are filled with little incidents that have bright- ened our busy days; records of athletic events that have placed us high in the realm of sport; accounts of our various organizations which have kept our affection constant. We sincerely hope that this book will tend to keep alive for you, your recollections of Alma Mater and her associations. In after years of responsibility, when time has robbed you of things you would remember, may the contents of the Year Book open for you the gates to memory, that abstract haven which holds the secret of true happiness and contentment. May you feel the inclination to rekindle old attachments and revisit the scenes which shall always be deep within your heart. Let the “Meta” serve as a link between you and your classmates; let it perpetuate friendships; let it make the five years of your life at Peabody High immortal. OUR ALMA MATER META: — To the curious passerby it is a charming three-storied building of yellow brick, fronted by a wide green lawn, leafy, handsome trees bordering the sidewalk. To a nervous Sub-Freshman on the opening day of school, the dignity which its size and structure guarantee seems to speak of an awful majesty incorporate within it; it is a building of mysteries, portentous, — promising only vaguely-defined things. But to the Seniors, at Com- mencement, leaving the clocks still marking the minutes in the silence of the classroom, leaving the corridors still humming and rustling with the school gossip of the undergraduates, it is a familiar and dear possession, some- thing like an old, worn, and well-loved book, or yet the portrait of an old friend. This feeling of “belonging” to our Alma Mater has its outward and visible signs. There are the brightly- lettered navy sweaters of the football squad, our various clubs, our school paper, our class ode and our school song, but our sense of loyalty to our school has a deeper signifi- cance yet. We are extremely proud of our school, of its high scholastic ranking, of the thorough training and edu- cation its name stands for. Alma Mater has meant for us increased ability to think and appreciate, enlarged MATER” knowledge, instilling of high ideals, preparation for life, many new friends, and immeasurably happy days. Small wonder that a conscious gratitude mingles with our regret as we find our years at high school at their close. An institution of the type of our Alma Mater is a feature which would redeem any civilization. It is a model democracy within itself. Its aim is noble: it is an ideal the monks of Medieval Europe, instilling learning and piety in the few children near the monasteries could only dream of. Alma Mater’s counterparts are legion through- out this country; yet mingling with the happy memories of our days here should come a serious thought, a re- membrance of the millions of youths in the Old World to whom the privilege we have been enjoying is impossible. Viewed from their eyes, our school must indeed seem a “Beneficent Mother.” Her influence upon us, already noticeable, will be life-long. She found us rough diamonds; surely now the stones reveal enlargening sparkles. She gave freely a firm foundation. It is now up to us to build high and well upon it. And meanwhile the clocks tick, and book-laden students hurry thi’ough noisy corridors. Our Alma Mater is never idle: she is again busy at her consecrated service of edu- cating her city’s youth! OUR FAC U L T Y As the school year of 1931 gradually draws to a close, and we, the members of the class of ’31 are standing on the threshold of life, we cannot help but reflect on the untiring efforts and endless hours of labor which our faculty has devoted to us so that we might be better fitted to carry on in life’s struggle. From the time of our first days at High School when we were younger and less appreciative until our final hours when we have realized that we must go on alone, every member of the faculty has ever been willing and eager to help, advise and assist us all. During our first years at high school some of us might not have heeded the counsel given us, but now in the closing days of our high school careers even the most indifferent among us are mindful of and appreciative of the work the faculty has been doing in our behalf. We feel, however, that it would be well to keep in mind our class motto “Facta, non Verba,” and instead of here attempting with mere words to express fully our appreciation we should in future years endeavor in every work of our lives to so order our lives that they shall be a lasting monument to the labors of our faculty. Twelve M E T A ROBERT J. ADIE “None but himself can be his parallel.’’ Preferring to do his share, to do it well, and to do it with as little talk as possible, Robert has faithfully performed his allotted tasks from day to day. His ability in action and in- dependence in thought if used in after life as advantageously as they have been used during his High School years, will insure for Robert a very successful climb to whatever heights he may aspire. ETHEL AINSCOUGH The world agrees that she writes well. ' ' OBSERVER META VALEDICTORIAN No graduate class is ever complete without one of those modest, efficient persons who say little but who do so very much. Our Ethel is that sort. Never ostentatious in manner or speech, she has nevertheless made herself invaluable in her place as an Associate Editor of the Observer. We feel assured that in life she will make herself just as indispensable. BERNICE ALTSHULER “Gentle of speech, beneficent of mind.” Homer might have been acclaiming Bernice when he sang this epigram of praise, for she is one of the love- liest, most winning girls conceivable. Combining charm of manner with se- riousness of purpose as she does, Bernie’s every step will be for ad- vancement. Her cleverness and re- finement ought to make her a distinct asset to the business universe. META Thirteen CLEMILDA H. AMARAL “Thy modesty’s a candle to thy merit.” Clemilda is the spirit of gladness, a perpetual bubble of joy! Her laugh- ter and radiant smile seem never to desert her — even under the most try- ing of situations; and perhaps that is one reason why so many of us admire and like her. Withal, it must not be forgotten that Clemilda was a most industrious student. ABRAHAM A. ANKELES Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well. EDITOR-IN CHIEF OBSERVER HONOR STUDENT SR. CLASS PRESIDENT JR. CLASS OFFICER STRAND NIGHT META We take great pride in presenting to you our student and our friend. “Abie” has given to our Alma Mater every ounce of devotion and service and has in every way received just recompense. He has kept high the standard of our school magazine and has competently led our class in its activities. Every member of the class of ’31 will always remember him. ROSE C. ANTOSZEWSKI “A maiden modest, and self-possessed.” You may not know who this young lady is by name, but you will recog- nize Rose as the one who always speaks pleasantly in the corridors to whomever she may meet. Her work during her school days has been always of high standard and in her future business enterprises we feel sure that her competency and pleas- ant disposition will carry her far. Fourteen META MARK ARAKELIAN “You will be what you will to be.” “Mike” blessed with a sunny dis- position and a willingness to work has already gained the two crowning successes of the scholar; the friend- ship of his fellow students and achievement in his studies. He is gifted with an aptitude for things technical and it is assured that he will find prosperity in this, his chosen field. WILLIAM H. ASTON “Character is worth a thousand laurels. OBSERVER META STRAND NIGHT FRENCH CLUB CLASS FOOTBALL SENIOR PLAY In our sophomore year, “Bill” came to us from Medford, a most welcome addition to 1931’s class and a gener- ous contributor to our literary pub- lications. His cheery smile and jovial “hello” won for him many friends before he had been here a year — and what’s more — he’s kept them. Here’s to you, Bill, may you make your place in the world as securely as you have in Peabody High. MARY BACHINILAS “It was myself that sang in me.” There certainly was always a gold- en, happy little bird forever singing in Mary’s heart. Her flashing smile, her irresistable laughter, her sunny self added life in all her classrooms. Friendly, capable Mary will always be one of our pleasantest memories. And so we say at Commencement — Bon Voyage, Mary! .1 ETA Fifteen SHIRLEY R. BAGLEY “And as for me, though my wit be iyte On books for to rede I me delyte.” Please do not presume (from read- ing the quotation) that Shirley is a zealous bookworm, or yet an advocate of periodically studying “The Saint’s Everlasting Rest.” No! But Shirley’s tastes do incline her to literature not- withstanding. Also, as one of our more successful Commercial students, Shirley’s lovely ways were, and are, appreciated by every one. HELEN BARRON “Loathing pretence, she did with cheerful will What others talked of while their hands were still.” Whenever we looked Helen’s way, she was either lost irretrievably be- hind the covers of some book, or else, just as characteristically, frantically wirelessing Brother Walter — just in time — the correct answer to some perplexing question or other. So very quiet — almost mouselike — yet Helen is well known and liked by every one. WALTER E. BARRON “They can conquer who believe they can.” Here is beholden unto you a lad possessed of those qualities which make for success. Although of a re- served nature, he plods steadily towards his goal which is set in the business world. His alertness in class and cheei ' ful readiness to help have won him many friends. Go to it, Wal- ter, we are all wishing you “Bon Voyage” in your future undertakings. Sixteen .1 E T A SAMUEL BENATOR “A little body doth often harbor a great soul.” CLASS FOOTBALL CLASS BASKETBALL Small in stature and unobtrusive in nature, Sam has escaped the close at- tention of a great many of us. Conse- quently but a few know the intrinsic beauty of his character. He has been highly successful in his studies, but still found time to distinguish him- self in sports. Such as he, can never fall short of success. WALTER J. BIRMINGHAM “Character gives splendor to youth. FOOTBALL BASEBALL CLASS BASKETBALL Persevering, yet retiring, Walter is very popular among those who are closely acquainted with him. His favorite activity is athletics and he is equally at home playing football, baseball or basketball. Because of his high rank in his class, we are con- fident that Walter will be successful when we part. NATHALIE L. BLISS “To those who know thee not, no words can paint ! And those who know thee, know all words are faint! EDITOR-IN-CHIEF META OBSERVER SECRETARY FRENCH CLUB HONOR STUDENT STRAND NIGHT Just the sort of girl fair Helen must have been With golden hair and flashing, tender smile, Except that Grecian Helen was be- loved by only men While Nan wins us all with her wiles. The sort of girl you dream about — who doesn’t oft come true Of whom you’re awfully proud to say, “she came from P. H. too.” M E T A Seventeen ELEANOR BODGE “A jaunty step, a cheery smile, a merry twinkling eye.” All of us must surely know The girl that plays, and learns to sew, The girl that wears a certain pin That signifies she’s never in. From this to that you see her tear, Such versatility’s most rare. HELEN F. BURNS ‘‘A presence which is not to be put by.” TRAFFIC SQUAD Here is a charming person with loads of “pep” and vivaciousness whom we all recognize as “Buddy.” She will never fail to accomplish what- ever she undertakes, we are sure. We all have enjoyed the companionship of this miss whose sunny disposition will always be remembered. Here’s to luck in life. ISABEL A. CHEBATOR “From whence comes that universal dread of mediocrity, the fruitful mother of peace and liberty?” Modest Mistress Reticence herself in school, Isabel is notable for her quiet ways of conducting herself everywhere. The real Isabel behind the quiet exterior is a girl whose fund of kindly humor and essential friend- liness is inexhaustible; a lovable companion whose industry is the guarantee of a successful life ahead. Eighteen M E T A ABRAHAM A. CHOPPER “Diligent student ! learn him by heart.” BAND ORCHESTRA META We pay our respects to “Abe” who is not unknown to us, but on the con- trary is one of the brilliant young men whom every one knows. There are but few violin players who can equal the skill of our “Abe” and we hope that he will continue in his pursuit of a musical career. We feel assured that Tufts will welcome him with open arms and to it he goes with the best wishes of all of us. IDA COHEN “Her words are simple and her heart sincere.” In bidding Ida farewell, we re- member a girl well versed in reading, whose very delight was a book in which she might become absorbed. Yet, however much inclined in this direction, she was, nevertheless, a voluntary contributor to any event which might grace the pages of our social calendar. Friend and student in one combined. FRANCIS E. CONNOLLY Happy am I, fi’om cai ' e I ' m free.” JR. CLASS FOOTBALL STRAND NIGHT FRENCH CLUB VARSITY FOOTBALL Francis, better known as “Jocko,” came to us in our sophomore year from St. John’s Preparatory School. Always good natured and resource- ful, he soon made an abundance of friends because of his sunny person- ality. His pleasing humor and cheer- ful laugh make him an outstanding personage. Next fall “Jocko” intends to enter Boston College, taking with him the knowledge of the hearty wishes of ’31. META Nineteen CAROLAN P. COONEY “Always full of hope and good cheer. “Carol’s” wining manner should leave no one in doubt as to her popu- larity. Continuing as in High School, we feel sure of her success in the future in whatever line of work she may choose to pursue. Although Carolan has been with us but two years, she has made numerous friends. We are all wishing you success and happiness in the future. LOIS M. COUSINS “My heart speaks they are welcome. Lois is a Commercial student who has wended her way through the High School years in a shy, simple manner, gathering along the path a bouquet of friendships which will always be dear to her, we know. In return, Lois has filled a place in the hearts of those who knew her best and will long remember her. ELMER J. CRONIN “As merry as the day is long. The possessor of a jovial, carefree nature and an ever-present smile, Elmer certainly has been a favorite among the members of the class of ’ 31 . Because of his quick wit he has been the instigator of many outbursts of laughter when the silence in a class room became too monotonous. How- ever, behind Elmer’s veil of careless- ness, there is a wealth of genuine in- dustry. Twenty META HENRY T. DOOLING “Better late than never. ” META How admirably that quotation suits Henry! One may see Henry casually walking- up Central street at about 8.15 every morning with a smile on his face and apparently without a care in the world. But the cause of Henry’s tardiness is his industry, which in the years to come will bring to Henry his full measure of true suc- cess. B. VERONICA DULLEA “A merry heart doeth Rood like a medicine.” TRAFFIC SQUAD Having spent five years in the com- panionship of this popular girl, we are conscious of her many admirable qualities but are at a loss to find suit- able words. Her vivacious and ener- getic spirit renders her a most helpful associate in all High School activities. May good luck and success attend her in the future. RUSSELL F. DUNN “A fellow of infinite jest.” About this light-hearted boy, much need not be said. Melancholy disap- pears when he comes into sight; laughter abounds wherever he is. At every by-road may he meet hap- piness and have the courage to greet every difficulty with a laugh, for it is in the face of opposition that mis- fortune takes flight. META Twenty-one EDITH L. DURKEE “A light heart lives long.” The light-hearted blue-eyed lassie above is one whom you will long re- member as “Edie,” one of the most popular girls of our class. Her sparkling smile and winning person- ality have been the secrets of her charm and popularity. We feel sure that “Edie” will bask in the radiance of a successful career as she has made many of us bask in the warmth of her true friendliness. Smile, Edith, smile — we like you best that way. HARLAND E. DURKEE “A true friend, like unto no other.’ ' VARSITY HOCKEY SENIOR PLAY TRAFFIC SQUAD STRAND NIGHT CHEER LEADER Certainly “Duke” never makes him- self obnoxious by talking too much, but that might be said to be a virtue that could be observed by a great many people. He goes his own way conscientiously and quietly, and never attempts a task unless he can finish it. Keep it up “Duke.” DOROTHY M. EADE “Good things come in small packages.” BASKETBALL STRAND NIGHT Introducing a tiny miss, known and loved by all of us. Always ready with a gay smile and friendly manner, “Dot” has proved a pleasant com- panion and true friend. And can “Twinnie” play basketball? ' Well, just one peek into the gym will con- vince you. Did someone say talk ? Of course a conversation would not be animated without “Dot” to help in it. In all you do, we’re with you, “Twinnie! Twenty-two M E T A HAZEL L. EAUE “Laughter holding both his sides.” CLASS OFFICER STRAND NIGHT A flashing smile, a quick gesture, laughing eyes and we have Hazel, twin sister to “Dot.” We admire her for her scholastic ability as well as her quick wit and pleasing person- ality. Hazel has always been one of our most enthusiastic members in whatever activity came up. Bubbling over with “pep” she laughed her way into our hearts to stay and we feel sure her smile will win friends for her always. MARJORIE I. EARP “For a dreamer lives forever. And a toiler dies in a day.” WOMAN’S CLUB META Marjorie’s frank and lovely person- ality is perhaps the most free from restraint of anyone’s we have ever known. Marjorie is also distinguished by her very agreeable habit of weav- ing boundless day dreams, the fre- quency of which is the delight and wondei’ment of all her friends. Peter Pan of ’31, please “never grow up!” CATHERINE M. FAY “A daughter of the Gods, And most divinely fair.” A sunny, wistful smile carried Catherine straight into the sanctuary of our hearts and this same lovely smile is bound to carry her far along the rose-strewn path to happiness. Her willingness to learn and enthu- siasm in carrying out her tasks have won our admiration and esteem. One and all, we extend to you our best wishes. M ETA Twenty-three CORNELIUS J. FLYNN “Write me as one that loves his fellow-men.” BASKETBALL FOOTBALL HOCKEY History is not the only thing that repeats itself. Family names do too; ask Connie about it — he knows. He is a typical example of the average American boy; a fun-loving, happy- go-lucky six feet of budding manhood. Connie is alert and attentive in the classroom and on the gridiron, but it must be admitted that his particular star shines brightest in the latter field. JOHN H. FOSTER “A light heart lives long.” CLASS FOOTBALL CLASS BASEBALL This quotation fits John to the pro- verbial T. A happy-go-lucky fellow without a care in the world is our popular schoolmate who helped the Seniors in their struggle for class supremacy in football, baseball and basketball. His optimistic views on all questions will aid him greatly throughout life. JENNIE FREEDMAN “Resolute in action, gentle in manner.” SENIOR CLASS PLAY This dark-haired favorite has been pleasant company throughout our High School days and one whom we shall always remember as a partici- pant in our Senior Class Play. In the closely woven mesh of social activi- ties she has firmly established her- self so as to make us constantly mind- ful of her happy presence. Twenty-foul META APHRODITE GEANOULIS “A merry miss who is never blue With many smiles to give to you.” SENIOR CLASS PLAY META No one could forget “Ephie,” for did not her brilliant charm add vivid Spanish touches to our very success- ful class play? In addition to her ability as an actress, “Ephie” is also a gifted artist as proved by her many contributions of posters for various class activities. Who would predict other than a bright future for this petite miss ? DELPHINE L. GILL “Diligence is the mother of success.” SENIOR CLASS PLAY Sweet “Dellie” may be referred to as the song bird of our class. Her beautiful voice and most lady-like bearing as well as her friendliness and readiness to lend a helping hand, have won for her many friends. As the leading lady of our class play, she took no mean part in its successful presentation. We predict a brilliant career for you, “Dellie.” SOPHIE GLENN “The hidden soul of harmony.” Although of a quiet nature, Sophie can proudly boast of a long friend- ship, the links of which have been everlastingly soldered by her heai’t- felt sincerity and kindness. She was a decided asset in the classroom where her ability and co-operation were at all times evident. We wish you all the luck in the world, Sophie, and may your career be a highly suc- cessful one. META Twenty- five MARJORIE V. GUMB “And still be doing, never done.” SENIOR CLASS VICE-PRESIDENT META JUNIOR CLASS OFFICER OBSERVER STRAND NIGHT A little TNT in a small package , symbolizes Marge, one of our most popular Seniors. This active member is none the less the possessor of a gentle and sweet disposition, though she is packed with pep and energy. There is just one thing we have found her incapable of, and that, a grouch, or “blue day,” or whatever similar term you may apply. But the world’s a better place because of you, Marge! GEORGE H. HAMMOND “To act tomorrow what he learns today.” ORCHESTRA OBSERVER BAND Although George has not entered into many of our school activities, he has proved his worth by his invalu- able assistance in making our Jun- or Prom and Senior Hop the outstand- ing events of the years. George spends his spare time in the “chem lab” and we predict he will go far in this field. JULIE E. HANLON With malice toward none and charity for all WOMAN ' S CLUB JR. CLASS OFFICER STRAND NIGHT Pretty, talkative “Ulie” — how can we find suitable words to acquaint you with this charming girl whom everybody knows and likes ? En- dowed with the super gift of con- geniality and a sympathetic under- standing of human nature, Ulie has become a true friend in her role as classmate. With no little enthusiasm we join in wishing her “good luck.” Twenty-six META HENRY L. HAYES “Men of few words are the best men.” FOOTBALL STRAND NIGHT “Bud” got his letter on the grid- iron, gained many friends, and ac- quired a serious, steady look in his eyes during these five years of High School life. Well known to all of us he will not be forgotten in the years to come. MARY F. HORGAN “To be amiable is certainly a virtue. WOMAN ' S CLUB FRENCH CLUB ORCHESTRA Mary has made many friends among her classmates . through her sunny disposition and friendly ways, and it is with sorrow that we see her leave the portals of Peabody High School. She has ever had the love for fun, but the faculty, too, of being se- rious, as one glance at the honor roil will show. Both music and athletics have been included in her programs with the success Mary seems to have in all undertakings. GERTRUDE J. A. HORRIGAN “A heart to resolve, a head to contrive, a hand to execute.” STRAND NIGHT WOMAN’S CLUB Allow us to introduce our “Gert,” known and admired by all. What social event would be complete with- out her lending a willing hand to as- sure it of success ? Always smiling and cheery, everybody likes this girl with her pleasing personality. There is no doubt as to her success in life and we combine best wishes and good luck in our message of farewell. META Twenty-seven ANN JAMUK “Much is she worth, and even more is made of her.” A smiling, demure young lady is Ann, and a real favorite among her classmates. We find her always will- ing and ready whenever the occasion demands and a school function is never complete without her presence. The rumor is, that Ann is planning to enter Commercial School in the fall, and predict that a continuation of her splendid work will result in inevitable success. ELLI E. JOKINEN “To me more dear, congenial to my heart One native charm, than all the gloss of art.” SENIOR PLAY ORCHESTRA May I introduce one of the Gold Dust twins ? “Beware of Blondes” does not apply in the case of this de- mure, winsome young lady. “We blondes don’t play the scheming Delilah on the unsuspecting Samson any more than our darker sisters do,” comments Elli. Also, she is a talented violinist, and possesses that rare combination, beauty plus brains. ACHILLES N. KALLELIS “His forte was in the arena.” CLASS FOOTBALL “Archie” takes part in all forms of sport. The diamond, the basketball court, the gridiron, and the track have all seen his endeavors. But the name of Kallelis does not appear only in the field of sport for mathematics also knows him well. Strength in body and ability in “math” make a good en- gineer, Archie. Twenty-eight META PETER N. KALLELIS “Lo, the conquering hero conies.” VARSITY FOOTBALL CLASS FOOTBALL CLASS BASKETBALL Through his efficiency in athletics and his cordial geniality, Peter has acquired many friends during the years he has been with us. His bril- liant actions on the gridiron have made him an outstanding player of his team. If he can sail as easily through life as he made that pigskin sail through the air. we may rest assured of his future success. Carrv on, Pete. THEODORE S. KALLELIS “Brevity is the soul of wit.” CLASS FOOTBALL Peabody High has seen more than one Kallelis come and go, but we dare to boast the best. “Ted” has accumu- lated hosts of friends during his so- journ in school hy the “ever ready flash” of his smile and his sparkling wit. The combination of your person- ality and your ambition is sure to find you a foremost place in the world. Good luck, Ted. MARY E. KEARNS “Who treads softly, treads far.” CLASS BASKETBALL We are not very likely to hear a great deal of those who go about their work quietly and without alarm. But when the time comes to measure ac- complishment, we find them well among the first. In studies and in , sports Mary has gone ahead without any publicity manager, as it were. Her work and achievements speak for themselves. META Twenty-nine HERBERT L. KIMBALL “I dare do all that may become a man ; Who dares do more is none. TRAFFIC SQUAD VARSITY FOOTBALL META COACH OF SENIOR CLASS FOOTBALL Nothing spectacular about Herb. Just steady, unswerving dependabili- ty to whatever, after careful consid- eration, seems most worthwhile to him. A few friends, good books, the great out-of-doors — forestry, Herb judges, will bring him all these. Good luck. ELEANOR KING “Her brown eyes have a twinkle In her laugh there is a ring.” In “Nel” we find a frank, sincere nature that wins her many friends. A fellow traveler who shares our cares and joys, who possesses an under- standing heart, whose dry humor brightens many a dull moment. When she teaches school we’d all like to be pupils again. THELMA F. KING “Everything is worth what its purchaser will pay for it.” HONOR STUDENT The combination of scholastic abil- ity and congenial nature has never been more aptly displayed than in “Thel,” our comrade since the days of our sub-freshman year. Thorough- ness to complete a task begun and firmness to see what is to be done, will always conduct her safely through the perils of the life ahead. Thirty META JOHN H. KINGSLEY, Jr. “Unborn tomorrow and dead yesterday. Why worry about them if today be sweet.” FOOTBALL CLASS BASKETBALL Always good natured and jovial, Johnny has won well-deserved popu- larity among his classmates. He was always ready to help and we shall always be grateful to him for his part in making our class functions suc- cesses. On the gridiron and basket- ball court he has proved himself an athlete of no little ability. We wish John highest honors in life. ANNA E. KLEMM “In small proportions we just beauties see.” CLASS OFFICER JR. CLASS OFFICER STRAND NIGHT TRAFFIC SQUAD “Don’t crowd or push coming down those stairs, for our tiny Ann is standing on duty ready to direct you on your way to classes.” Surely her fair head and blithe smile have brightened our five years in High School. Always ready and willing she has proved a true and worthy friend to all. MIRIAM P. KNAPP “A merry heart maketh a cheerful counten- ance.” CLASS BASKETBALL STRAND NIGHT “Mini” is none other than that chic bit of femininity that has so often caught your eye as she passes you in the corridor, or your ear as you pass her amid a group of chatting friends. It is with regret that we see her pass from within our circle, but are com- forted with the thought that she will never slip from our heart. M ETA Thirty-fivs f 5 EVELYN MARON “Thy modesty ' s a candle to thy merit.” SENIOR CLASS PLAY If you attended the Senior Class Play you saw Evelyn in one of the best character parts ever done. She is a Commercial student who certainly will in the days to come, grace the private office of some big business man. And what an efficient secretary she’ll turn out to be! EVELYN MARSHALL “Good sense which only is the gift of heaven.” SENIOR PLAY Somewhere in literature long hair is said to be woman’s crowning glory. Evelyn, the practical and philosophical member of our class, who cut her curls not so long ago, wonders why bobbed hair is not also woman’s crowning glory. But she need not worry on that score for her neatness and industry among other virtues compensate her fully for the loss of her beautiful locks. BLANCHE F. MARTIN “Still achieving, still pursuing.” BASKETBALL WOMAN’S CLUB META Blanche always seems to be busily engaged in one of her numerous pur- suits. Between studies, basketball, music, and social activities, we doubt if any of the twenty-four hours are idle in her daily life. With energy and good-will enough for three people we are sure Blanche’s achievements will not fall short of the expectations of her many friends. Thirty-six M ETA EDWARD W. McCarthy, Jr. “In him ’twas natural to please.” HOCKEY GOLF We take no inconsiderable pleasure in presenting here a little account of one of our rather quiet classmates, Ed McCarthy. Ed is an athlete of more than mediocre ability. He shone as goal tender on the hockey team; in golf he always turned in a low score. May Ed’s score in life be proportion- ate to his excellent qualities. DORIS J. McGLUE “This pretty lass will prove our country’s bliss.” To the class of ’31, the name of Doris will always call to mind a quiet conscientious girl, whose attractive visage is always lighted by a radiant smile. She belongs to the group who say cheerfully, “If you can’t be what you would like to be, be faithfully what you can.’’ One who possesses such a willing nature will always find a ready place in this busy world. PETER P. MICALCHUCK “An agreeable companion on a journey is as good as a carriage.” VARSITY FOOTBALL CLASS PLAY STRAND NIGHT TRAFFIC SQUAD Although quiet and reticent, Peter has taken part in many extra curricula activities. He was a good football player; he showed his ability as an actor by the manner in which he played his part of “Toby” in the class play, and he helped his class make Strand night a success. Peter has always been a good student and has been willing to lend a helping hand whenever it was needed. M E T A Thirty-seven ALBIN H. MILESKI T. HENRY MILLEA BENJAMIN MILLSTEIN “All great men are in some degree inspired.” ORCHESTRA STRAND NIGHT COMPOSER OF CLASS ODE “Surely never did there live on earth A man of kindlier nature.” CLASS FOOTBALL “Worth makes the man.” DEBATING CLASS PLAY Al’s great inspiration must be his violin, for he is never so happy as when his “fiddle” is tucked under his chin. In the classroom, his work has been of high grade, while his co- operation in other activities has been of equal value. His personality has made many friends and in whatever he may undertake, may Lady Luck smile upon him! Jovial and kind, that’s “Henny.” He has ambitions, too. His many friends know that a doctor’s kit and office are the goals “Henny” pictures in his mind. Patience combined with the ability to rise over difficulties will les- sen the number of rungs of the ladder in his climb to success. A manly fellow seems to be the best way to characterize “Benny.” If a “T” account were set up and debited with his virtues, and credited with his faults, we are sure that it would have a debit balance far in excess of the total on the credit side. Yes, “Benny” is going to be a big business man. Thirty-eight .1 ETA EARL F. MINOT “A man is but what he knoweth.” The good humor and genial disposi- tion of Earl has done much to gain for him many friends during his sojourn in Peabody High. Perseverance in his daily lessons has built for him a firm foundation upon which to establish his future career. The good wishes of all your fellow schoolmates go with you, Earl. DOMINIC MOGAVERO All may do what has been done by man.” SENIOR PLAY VARSITY FOOTBALL CLASS FOOTBALL STRAND NIGHT There was no easy task confronting Don when he came to Peabody High for his brother “Chick” of enviable reputation and accomplishment had preceeded him. It was obviously “Don’s” duty to live up to that mark. How well he did do that you may learn from perusing our annual. HENRY W. MURPHY “There’s no art to tint! the mind’s construc- tion in the face.” Although he was not always promi- nent in the activities of his class, we who were acquainted with Henry are glad that he was in our midst, for in him we found a true comrade and an admirable character. We trust that in his future life he will strive to re- tain those qualities which have made him our friend. META Thirty-nine JOHN T. MURPHY “Here ' s a heart for every fate. SR. CLASS FOOTBALL STRAND NIGHT FRENCH CLUB (PRESIDENT) SR. CLASS BASKETBALL “Jack” is that type of young gen- tleman who is always good company and has an abundance of true friends who are always ready to help in his cheery plans. He is both a student and athlete, for continually through- out his High School days he was tak- ing part in all branches of attdetics. We expect great things from “Jack.” RICHARD H. NICKLES “What’s in a name?” You will recognize “Rich” by that expression of wisdom on his face and although he is not distinguished par- ticularly as an athlete nor a student, he is known for his philosophical amiability. As we bid him farewell and good luck on his travels through life, we feel confident that success shall follow his path of humor. JOSEPH L. NORRIS “Character is ' our will, for what we will we are.” An upright lad and resolute of man- ner is this, our schoolmate of five short years. Decision of purpose and the accomplishment of his intention are characteristics which will carry him far onto the road to achievement. We wish you every kind of good luck and fortune, “Joe” as you go from our midst. Forty META THELMA M. O’DONNELL “Those about her From her shall read the perfect ways of honor.” Here we extend our greetings to Thelma, the miss with the broad smile and ever pleasing personality. She is one who is ever active in school affairs, conscientious in her studies and the possessor of a host of friends. It is understood that she is preparing to enter some higher institution of learning and with heartiest wishes for success we send her on her way. JOSEPH F. OKARSKI “A lad of mettle, a good fellow. BASEBALL CLASS FOOTBALI, BASKETBALL Modesty and capability have been characteristics of “Joe.” His endeav- ors in scholastic enterprises have re- warded him and reflected credit on the school. Of all sports, he stands in the limelight as an acrobat and can often be seen bending and twisting on our “gym” apparatus. A real fel- low of the class of 1931 is he and we know that there is a bright future in store for him. THOMAS A. O’KEEFE, Jr. “What can say more than the rich praise, that you alone are you. STRAND NIGHT FRENCH CLUB FOOTBALL BUSINESS MANAGER, META Frank, merry Tom, center of all fun and gaiety, and promulgator of many a sparkling social event; surely no better comrade has ever graced the records of human fraternity. Under his thatch of gleaming red hair sparkles a keen wit, equally as bright, which make his popularity what it is. But why say more? You all know the “Prince of Good Fellows” and join with me in saying “good luck!” META Forty-one ELIZABETH P. OSBORNE “Character is a diamond that scratches every other stone.” OBSERVER META WOMAN’S CLUB Here we have “Lib.” one of the sweetest, friendliest girls we have ever known. Throughout the five years she has ever been ready and willing to smooth the rough places in our journey and to brighten the rou- tine of our lives with her welcome friendliness. RAYMOND W. PATENAUDE And thou, — thou makest the sad heart gay.” VARSITY FOOTBALL CLASS FOOTBALL CAPTAIN. TRAFFIC SQUAD A lively, spirited, young man is Ray, with a ready smile and a cheery word for all. He is well liked by both boys and girls and is a keen lover of merriment and sport. Ray works during the day, but after closing hours — well, just try to find him! VIRGINIA E. PEABODY “They will be most highly valued where they are best and longest known.” TRAFFIC SQUAD META “Ginny” is the one to whom we go when we seek that something that is not exactly sympathy, nor is it criti- cism. Perhaps the word is “under- standing.” In her own sweet way she takes a place in our hearts to be filled by no other. We bid her good luck on her journey into the waiting world. Forty-two , 1 ETA M. EDITH PERKINS “Thoughtful and wise she goes her way.” WOMAN’S CLUB “Edie” is one of our gentle, quiet girls, well liked by her numerous friends, who efficiently performs her allotted tasks without overdue worry or noise. Her calm smile and sub- dued laugh will always distinguish Edith in this bustling, noisy world. BENJAMIN M. PECHINSKY “Care ' s an enemy to life.” “Benny”’ has passed his High School years with us in a very unob- trusive manner. He has gone along without flinching and has attained success. There are those who go along with blare of trumpets and waving of banners, and those who walk alone straight and forward. Benny is of the latter type. We feel confident that he will win a high posi- tion for himself in the business world he is now to enter. BARBARA E. POOR “Strike while the iron is hot. Although she hails from West Pea- body, Barbara is not, as her name im- plies, a “stranger.” On the contrary she is very much the opposite, for the vivacity and impulsiveness of her nature have made her always a center of sport and merriment. Who can think that there is other than attain- ment and happiness waiting for “Barb” just around the corner ? META Forty-threa GERTRUDE G. POTASH “She loves her work and shuns no duty.” BASKETBALL Here we have a popular, dark- haired will o’ the wisp, active among her friends and in her home and school. Her particular hobby is enter- taining. One remarkable thing about Gertrude is, that she never allows herself to become a prey to nerves, but is always calm and serene. GORDON S. REDMAN “Silence is golden.” Gordon has never been heard to say an unnecessary word, but “still waters run deep.” As he talks but little, he gives only a limited amount of information about himself. In so far as we are able to ascertain, Gor- don believes in storing up his energy for the future. “Then watch my smoke,” says he, EARL L. RICH “Cheering, laughing, moving on.” OBSERVER BAND META STRAND NIGHT TRAFFIC SQUAD An all-round good fellow, is the way in which teachers and class- mates alike refer to Earl. Being one of the few who know there is a limit to everything, he refrains from carrying his witticisms too far and with all his humor, he has done excel- lent work as a student. It is with the most sincere wishes for future happi- ness that we bid him “au revoir.” Forty-four META RUTH G. RICKER It is not how great a place you fill, Hut how good you till the place.” “Ricky” with her ready smile and good cheer for all whom she meets upon the way occupies a large place in the hearts of her classmates. Her friends are numerous among both “Commercials” and “Classicals.” Wherever she may go in future life, the place assigned to her will be mod- estly and efficiently graced by her presence. THOMAS M. RIKKOLA Behavior is a mirror in which everyone shows his image.” Because of his splendid disposition and quiet, retiring manner, Tom is well liked by his classmates. Al- though not a participant in the lead- ing sports at school, he more than succeeded in golf and hockey. His character and his personality are sure to find success for him as he leaves High School for the larger field of work. ANNA M. ROCHE For she was just the quiet kind. Whose nature never varies.” Though Anna has been with us but for four years, we have come to value her friendship and appreciate her comradeship. Quietness is usually an indication of deep thought and we know that underneath her demureness there are many plans which, in the future, will be successfully fulfilled. META Forty-five MARY M. RODZYNSKI “She has a smile for every friend And for every smile a friend.” WOMAN S CLUB OBSERVER FRENCH CLUB ORCHESTRA We shall remember Mary as a pretty, dimpled miss with a cheery smile and a kind word for all. She has been a diligent scholar through- out her five years in P. H. S. and has made a host of friends through her winning personality and kind-hearted- ness. We congratulate the lucky pupils who will one day have Mary as a teacher. GERTRUDE J. RUBENSTEIN “Thy modesty is but a candle to thy merit. ’ Gertrude is a member of that indus- trious class of students which is known as the commercial unit. For four years she has wended her weary way through various subjects. In all of them she has passed with merit. May she continue her good work in the future. Our best wishes accom- pany her every move. ALICE E. RYAN “Art is a mirror of the soul.” CLASS SECRETARY Surely you can picture “Alyce” in an artist’s smock, standing before her easel in joyous contemplation of the work before her. We’re sure it would be joyous because seldom, if ever, have we seen “Alyce’’ otherwise. She’s a happy hearted, pretty miss with just a dash of seriousness that is most becoming. Forty-six META J. CURTIS RYAN “A faithful friend is better than sold.” SENIOR PLAY OBSERVER META STRAND NIGHT DEBATING CLUB A true friend, willing ' helper and ideal comrade leaves with the class of ‘31 in the role of “Curt.” Everyone has experienced the pleasant contact with his enthusiastic nature for he is one of our most popular members. His excellent work in the class play will keep him in the minds of those who know him only slightly, but most of us need no such reminder to cher- ish our friendship with him. COSTAS N. SAKELAKOS “All musical people seem to be happy.” Of course we know Costas, for he’s the young man who writes such de- lightful songs during his spare time. What! You have never heard any? Well, all we can say is that you’ve missed something worthwhile, for they bespeak great interest and no little genius. Not only is he a good song writer, but also a capable Com- mercial student. With these qualities to his credit we feel confident of his future success. STEPHEN SALPAS “Like Hercules of old he stood. CLASS FOOTBALL CLASS BASKETBALL When we think of “Saip” there is one picture which always leaps to our eyes. Spattered with mud, helmet on the side of his head, and eyes flash- ing, “Salp” stood his ground and held the Juniors back. We shall miss this brilliant gladiator in the future, but if he stands as sturdy in life as he has on the gridiron, then we shall be content and proud. M E T A Forty-seven ARTHUR C. SAVAGE “Give thy thoughts no tongue.” Arthur has the reputation of being the most reticent and retiring student in our class. Because of his unusual personality “Art” is well known by but a few students who consider themselves fortunate in the posses- sion of such a friend. His high aca- demic standard indicates an ambition and energy which will lead him to future prosperity. BEATRICE E. SAVAGE “Silent waters are seldom shallow.” Saying little, thinking much, “Bea” has, in her own quiet way, formed many strong friendships as she has passed tranquilly through her five years of High School. Studious by nature, she has more naturally devot- ed her energy toward the more serous side of school life than toward it’s ac- tivities. But in any case we can find no more willing or helpful member than she. ARTHUR N. SCANGAS “It is tranquil people who accomplish much.” Freedom from care or anything that resembles it is the dominating characteristic of Arthur’s quiet na- ture. He has silently striven for the goal which at last he has reached. Now he strives for a higher goal which can be obtained only by the underlying qualities which he pos- sesses. Success shall be his. Forty-eight M ETA CHARLES SCHOLNICK I know not the word impossible.” Charlie is one of the most sociable and congenial personalities in our midst. Like his brother who preceed- ed him, Charlie has established an en- viable record. “Smile, man, smile” is his motto, and if you have ever seen gloom on his countenance, please state the time and place. Note his stern jaw and by that know that he will make his mark. MARY SHAFFMAN “Oh, blessed with temper whose unclouded ray Can make tomorrow as cheerful as today.” Here’s a jolly, comfortable person with a keen sense of humor, and a congenial soul. On the debit side of the ledger are very few faults, while in the credit column there is a wealth of assets. With them it is little won- der that Mary is invariably the cen- ter of attraction wherever her friends meet. May her good cheer never de- sert this daughter of ’31. A. DORIS SHEA “She was made for happy thoughts For playful wit and laughter.” A giggle reaches our accustomed ears and without turning we feel se- cure in our knowledge that it is just Doris, again bubbling over with good spirits. She is always pleasant and the school day would not be quite complete without some characteristic outburst from her. But, “laugh and the world laughs with you,” and one is always happy when smiling, so — keep it up, Doris! M ETA Fifty-on« I, EVERETT G. STANLEY “Simplicity of manner is the best attainment.” BAND ORCHESTRA “Lev” needs no introduction to any- one in High School. Since he came from South Peabody he has always been a constant joy to his more seri- ous classmates. We greatly appreci- ate his [charming music given to us in both band and orchestra and desire to see further pursuit in his musical career. JENNY M. STAPLES “Heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute.” META STRAND NIGHT OBSERVER FRENCH CLUB CLASS BASKETBALL Never so busy when you’re blue But that she tries to comfort you. Always ready for some fun, Yet does her share when work’s to be done. To whom many would aspire. One that multitudes admire. Who never says can’t but “ken” And never asks why, but “wen.” GEORGE V. SWEENEY Character is our will, for what we will we are.” SENIOR CLASS TREASURER META STRAND NIGHT CLASS BASKETBALL VARSITY FOOTBALL It cannot be that there are those who do not know this fun-loving, good- n atured boy. Every social function has had his earnest and undivided support; every sport, his enthusiastic participation. As he goes forth may he always wear his characteristic smile and be confident that our best wishes go with him in every endeavor and our congratulations in every success. Fifty-two META JOHN F. TWOOMEY “Happy am I, from care I’m free Why aren’t they all contented like me?” VARSITY BASKETBALL CLASS BASKETBALL VARSITY BASEBALL John has been one of the best ath- letes in our class, going in for basket- ball in a big way. He played varsity centre and was a real thorn in the side of the opponents, because of his ability. He was also a star in the class and intra-mural games. When spring approached John showed his baseball talents by defeating all other candidates for the first string pitch- ing assignment. A real athlete and a good fellow! CALLIOPE VOUNESSEA “Something: there was spiritual about her.” Energetic, nervous, adroit little “Cally” is rather quiet and reflective on the whole. She impressed her classmates with the charm of her quiet ways, and her constantly proven, bright intelligence and ability. Our faith in Justice makes us confident that the future will hold something worthwhile, something desirable for Calliope. JAMES F. WARD “Nothing: great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. FOOTBALL Noted for his perseverance as a guard on the football team, Jimmie deserved a letter for that alone. His preference for mechanics, slightly greater than his zeal for his studies, is shown in that he is forever delving into the problems of machinery. Who knows but what some day we may hail him as a brilliant engineer of the air ? M E T A Fifty-three RUBY M. WARNER “How far that little candle throws its light ! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.” TRAFFIC SQUAD HONOR STUDENT SENIOR PLAY META Ruby has been one of the brilliant students of our class, and she has added no little prestige to our stand- ing. Efficiency was the keynote of her school life every minute, every hour, and every day. There never ap- peared before her the question of “to do or not to do” without the answer “to do immediately” following. EVA WEINSTEIN “Patience is a necessary ingredient of genius.” WOMAN’S CLUB No doubt everyone recognizes Eva for not only was she popular among her classmates, but also with her teachers. Full of life, always busily occupied, she has blithely made her way through High School, cultivating many friends in her winning way. We are confident that she will not forget, nor be forgotten by the class of ’31. LOLA WEISSMAN “At learning’s fountain it is sweet to drink But ’tis a nobler privilege to think.” Two years ago Lola came to us from far-away Poland, a gentle re- fined girl who instantly drew the friendship and respect of her new countrymen. Lola is a keen student of good literature, and a girl whose original views on everything in gen- eral make her a most intelligent and delightful friend. Fifty-four . 1 ETA RICHARD J. WELCH Time will explain it all. He is a talker, and needs no questioning before he speaks.” Anyone who has been in one of “Dick’s” classes will bear out the truth of the above quotation. A jovial and merry fellow is “Dick” and he has generously given of his talent for the amusement of others. The hard- hearted world will soon find a place for happy-go-lucky Richard and ’31 will take pride with him in the many accomplishments that will be his. ALBERTA D. WENTZELL Merry hearts will merrily chime. ” No introductions are needed here for “Berta” is well known by us all for her friendliness and comraderie. When she is with us we find neither dull moments nor time for frowning. Energetic, effervescent, the possessor of a rare sense of humor, she is one whom we will never forget in the years to come. A. IRENE WHEELER Fame and fortune on my footsteps wait. M ETA Irene is well known to all of us as a merry companion and a most popu- lar young lady. She has followed her sister through successful school years into the future. We wish her luck and happiness in her affairs in the business world. M ETA Fifty-five DAVID C. WIGGIN ‘‘The end crowns the work.” HONOR STUDENT TRAFFIC SQUAD CLASS PLAY PRESIDENT, DEBATING CLUB Have you ever seen “Dave” with- out a smile? We doubt if you have. Or have you ever seen him wasting time ? Every little minute counts with him. Even if he is simply wait- ing for action Dave has a book at hand. Theatricals are not complete without his “choice bit,” usually quite a bit too. ELEANOR A. WILSON “Joy rises in her like a summer morn. SENIOR PLAY Twins usually come in pairs, and this is no exception to the rule. Elea- nor and Elli comprise the well known duo of Gold Dust twins. Hail, her gay, light-hearted, irrepressible atti- tude! Yet Eleanor has her moments — that is — her serious moments, and as you become better acqauinted with her you cannot help but admire the good which sparkles everywhere about her. CHARLES WOELFEL “The essence of friendship is entireness, a total magnanimity and trust. META FRENCH CLUB OBSERVER Days may come and days may go, but the friendships of Charlie will go on forever. Never without a smile or a cheery word of greeting, always willing to help when help is needed, Charlie has made a host of friends all through his school career. Here’s to you, Charlie, don’t waver! Fifty-six M ETA ARTHUR WORSENCROFT “A laugh is worth a thousand groans in any market.” FOOTBALL CLASS PLAY What’s that terrible noise we hear every fifth period in room 25? Why it’s only our old classmate Arthur, having his daily laugh. Although it’s enough to scare any one, we all are quite used to it now. Arthur is an apt scholar at shorthand even though he laughs half the period away. Laugh away Arthur, for it never yet hurt anyone. We wish you all the luck in the world. LLOYD I. DRINKWATER “Good humor is one of the best articles of dress one can wear in society.” FOOTBALL BASKETBALL Few indeed have equalled Lloyd’s widespread and well deserved popu- larity. Possessed of an alert, brilliant mind and a ready wit, he was ever a favorite in classroom and corridor. Lloyd’s greatest achievements, how- ever, were gained in the realm of sports. He served ably as a member of the football and basketball teams during two seasons. We all join in wishing him the best of luck.

META Seventy-three ORCHESTRA AND BAND The orchestra and band have ever been a source of enjoyment to both the members and their audiences; to the former because of that satisfaction which comes only from hearing ' the results of one’s own efforts and to the latter because of the remarkable combined harmony the youthful members lend to their musical presentations. Again, this year, the orchestra and band, combined with Beverly and Salem, gave a series of broadcasts over WHDH which were greatly enjoyed by all radio fans and added much to their renown. Under the able and inspiring guidance of our director, Mr. Claude H. Phillips, a notable progress has been made and a brilliant future for P. H. S. musical organizations is predicted under his leadership. All through the year we were entertained by the or- chestra and band who rendered some of the famous master- pieces in a manner which would do credit to many a pro- fessional group. Both band and orchestra have awakened musical talent in some of the pupils which otherwise never would have been realized, even influencing the choice of some to take up music as a profession. Here the experience of orches- tral work is obtained which is necessary in the broader fields of music. We feel sure that those who played in either of these organizations will never have cause to regret the time spent there and will in future years recall with pleasure � this school activity. A word should be said here about the senior members of the class of ’31 who were active in the work of the orchestra and band throughout their courses and who added much to the success of both branches. They are: George Hammond, Albin Mileski, and Abraham Clopper. In closing, may we quote the famous old adage, “The richest child is poor without music,” which is the senti- ment expressed by the members of our band and orchestra, indeed, by all lovers of good music. ORCHESTRA BAND Z 0 ■$ Hft T c , asr MICE rRESIDL ' iNT THE TUI rvs CLASS SHEIK WHEN WE WERE YOUNG M E T A Seventy-nine CLASS P R O P H E C Y One warm June day, as I sat on the piazza, lazily swinging in the hammock (I was all alone) I saw a group of young people returning from school, laughing and joking as they showed each other their class pictures. My mind sped back to my own graduation, twenty long years ago. What had become of all my classmates, I wondered. What were they doing now? Not swinging in hammocks, I hoped. How I would like to know. With a sigh of resig- nation I picked up the Peabody Enterprise and settled down to read, when suddenly my eyes were arrested by the following startling announcement: “One Week Only — On Buxton’s Hill The most remarkable invention of the century. Don’t fail to look through Professor Wiggin’s far-reaching and all-seeing telescope. Shows you all your friends, near and far.” I jumped to my feet and resolved to look in upon my old classmates. At once I knew that Harland Durkee would never on any account, miss a chance to look in on the old gang, so I stopped at Durkee’s Turkey Farm to spread the glad tidings. As I expected, Harland was, as ever, quite agreeable, and we set forth in my Packard on our way to Buxton’s Hill. In Wilson Square we were quite unceremoniously held up by Walter Birmingham, Peabody traffic cop, for passing on a red light, but for old time’s sake he allowed us to go and we finally reached the top of the hill, only to find John Foster there ahead of us. You know John was always to be found where there was anything going on. And incidentally he’s now the Judge of the Police Court — and he is Judge! Hastening to- gether toward the telescope, what should we find but that the Professor Wiggin was none other than our old friend Dave. Well, after all, that wasn’t so strange for he was always trying to look into other people’s affairs. Feeling that I was the senior member of the exploring party, I took the first look through Dave’s marvelous telescope which happened at the moment to be focused over the glittering footlights of a Broadway Musical Re- vue. There I beheld the Eade twins and remembered their start at Strand night way back in ’31. They were no big- ger than ever, but of course much better and even noisier than in the good old days. Farther along Broadway we came upon the Lucky Strike Orchestra broadcasting its weekly program under direction of A1 Mileski, a program sponsored by John Lynch who had been a steady cus- tomer since the days at P. H. S. The announcer was Henry Murphy, himself, and we reflected that this was one time that Henry could have the last word. The next turn of the telescope brought into view New York’s famous Hippodrome where we saw in full swing, a colos- sal three ring circus, owned and operated by Joe Norris and Leverett Stanley. In a deep resounding voice Walter Barron was introducing the fascinating snake charmer of all ages, yes, it was Barbara Poor. Gay and giddy bill- boards blazed the fact that Ray Patenaude and Joe Okarski were the world’s most remarkable tumblers which turned our thoughts quickly back to their excellent work in our gym exhibitions. The audience seemed to be roaring with mirth as a comical clown stumbled onto the stage. Ah, we thought, could this be any other than our good friend George Sweeney, who, we reflected, spent much of his time in school in clowning and making wise- cracks. Joe, Barbara. Ray, Walter and George, we dis- covered have their lodgings at a boarding house run by Evelyn Maron and. believe it or not, the boarders are doing quite well. Evelyn, you remember, had consider- able training for this work in “College Cut-Ups.” On Fifth avenue we looked in upon a typical smart shop, conducted by Sophie Glenn, whose mannequins, Ferona LaCombe, Ann Jamuk and Esther Shea, were showing the latest modes from Paris to New York’s social matron, HLLLO ' d ■WHO ? WH , PVR T RrvB HERE ' S Ltb HontSTL Y - - IT ' S HERB THELttK OU R Tom HOW MANY CAN YOU NAME? M E T .4 Gert Horrigan. Ell i Jokinen, successor to Gloria Swan- son, we learned was having a premiere at the Capitol on Broadway. In Greenwich Village we could see Mildred MacRae painting a new “ad” for Chesterfield for which Evelyn Marshall was posing. Isabel Chebator, we discov- ered in a little store off Broadway, and Isabel, of all people, was selling a pair of opera glasses to a blind man. At Curtis Field we saw Eleanor Wilson stepping into a big Trans-Atlantic ship. She is hostess on every trip. A flighty girl, even in ’31. On seeing the tip of the Boston Custom House Tower within our range, we hesitated, then decided that now would be a good time to search Boston for more of our classmates. In the office, and it was a private office, of a prominent newspaper, we recognized in the person of the society editor, our friend Marjorie Gumb. We weren’t surprised, of course, for Marge was prominently iden- tified with all our successful social activities. On the same staff we saw Charlie Woelfel who has originated a new comic strip. Charlie decided that the witty say- ings of Alberta Wentzell and the comic antics of Earl Rich should not be lost to posterity, so he is perpetuating them in the columns of the daily newspaper. At anotner desk we found the successor to Dorothy Dix preparing her daily column of advice to the lovelorn. You’re right again; it was Carolan Cooney — and such advice! On an open newspaper we saw on the front page, the front page mind you, a brain teaser originated by Mark Arakelian. Suddenly we decided to try our luck in the heavens, so we focused our telescope heavenward where we be- held George Hammond’s expedition and colonization on Mars. George is making Jacob’s ladder a practical road to the planet, but then, we reflected, George always was a high-minded fellow. Thomas Rikkola we found busily engaged in introducing the fine art of miniature golf to the people of Mars. And there also in the capacity of in- structor of military tactics was our soldier boy, Lloyd Drinkwater. He always did like a good fight. Taken along as nurses, in case the fray proved too much for Eij-flity-onc “Drinky,” were Beatrice Savage and Caliope Vounessea. Lloyd was fearful that the girls on Mars would be neither efficient nor pretty. Giving the instrument a decided pull downward, we beheld in the waters off Boston Light, one of the new glass submarines. Peering anxiously through the side was Arthur Worsencroft looking probably for the same fish that he never could seem to catch off High Bridge in Peabody. We saw his secretary, Gert Rubenstein, draw- ing the location of each fish so that Art might be more successful on his next fishing trip. With them also, was Alice Ryan sketching the mermaids as subjects for mag- azine covers. By scanning the ocean farther north, we sighted the region of the North Pole. Here under the guiding hand of Miriam Knapp we saw a class in aesthetic dancing in full swing. Among the dancers were Pete Kallelis and Louise Laitinen. Near one of the igloos a group of Eskimos were being taught by Shirley Bagley to weave straw hats to guard their fair skins against the ravages of sun tan. From the far north regions we learned that Rose Antoszewski is shipping snowballs to Bermuda for the little darkies to use in their snow fights. Just then, Lois Cousins, Clemilda Amaral and Bernice Altshuler (they’re happy housewives) having sent the children off to school, came up the hill to join us at the telescope. They asked the professor to bring Europe into range as some of our mutual friends had been re- ported as pursuing their professions on the continent. What was that hazy place? Oh, yes — London in one of its sieges of bad weather. And there in the midst of the fog our old friend John Twomey, very, very much at home. Here too, in the largest city in the old world, we discov- ered Ida Cohen lecturing to the elite of London. We almost missed Russia — but no, we paused just long enough to catch a glimpse of Morris Krachman, still waiting for the five year plan to be realized. Knowing that Germany was the center where Teddy Kallelis had settled, we stopped the telescope for a ou P o D e R rv THE TH KEE GRACES A STUDY OF ' ART ' O.wt . TWO. T H ft £ e TOO ADDY Pi 76 AC.

We were more than delighted to see that Teddy got almost everything he want after, for after much probing he finally extracted six cents. Perhaps the presence of Jack Murphy and Henry Millea, New York specialists, made Ted a little nervous. Passing on to the University of Berlin, we discovered Lola Weissman as a professor of modern languages. This university brought to mind the suggestion that we might know members of the faculties in other Euro- pean Universities, so we passed along to the University of Paris where the telescope revealed to us Jocko Connolly as head of the French Department and his colleague, Connie Flynn, holding a like position in the Latin De- partment. These positions now held so capably by Jocko and Connie will of course occasion no surprise in the minds of their high school teachers — for they always were good. Deciding next to compare the social life of Paris with that of New York we looked in at the Opera House where we learned that Delphina Gill was holding a lead- ing role. At a cabaret we found Elmer Cronin, a popular gigolo, dancing with Elizabeth Mannix. Scanning the Alps, we were not surprised to find El King establishing new records for climbing high into the topmost places in the Alps. The shore of the Riviera next caught our attention, the vacation home of Nat Sim. No, she didn’t seem to be married; she just doesn’t seem to have made a selec- tion as yet. There also, we saw Gertrude Lerner, travel- ing companion to the Grand Duchess Boop-a-Doop, the for- mer Anna Klemm. Deciding finally that no more of our friends were to be found in these countries, we had Dave adjust the tele- scope again on the shores of our own land. Moving southward we reached Palm Beach, the popular resort of not a few of our classmates. There we discovered that Julie Hanlon had been selected as “Miss Universe” and one of the principal judges was, yes, you named him, Eighty -three Art Savage himself. You know Art was always good at math. On the cool, green fairway we found Eddie Mc- Carthy and Ray Kushmick engaged in a golf tournament. “Kushie” always did look good in plus fours and “Eddie” was always to be found at a “tee.” Caddying for our two golf champs (you’ll be a little surprised to learn this) were two young ladies (for the girls have taken to caddy- ing) Mary Bachinilas and Helen Barron. The horizon was suddenly blurred by the sight of a plane which upon closer observation we discovered was piloted by our old friend Martha Lazarakis. Poised on the wing tips of the plane stood Ruby Warner who was about to test a new kind of parachute made by Gordon Redman. Gordon guarantees a new one to any person whose parachute fails to open. Richard Nickles we learned, was working (did we say working) as an elec- trician and he got a shock the other day that actually woke him up. Bennie Pechinsky we found working in the zoo feeding the flying horses. Our attention was next attracted by the Inaugural ceremonies taking place at Washington, the nation’s cap- ital. Looking through the telescope we saw Chief Justice Abe Ankeles administering the oath of office to the new members of the prohibition department. Prominently seated on the platform were Irene Wheeler and Gertrude Potash, women representatives from the old Bay State. Irene Smith and Ruth Ricker we found residing in Wash- ington, Irene acting as caretaker in the Hall of Fame, and Ruth happily married to a wealthy senator. We then moved the telescope back to the northern part of the country and at Niagara Falls we beheld a large rubber ball bouncing over the cataract. When the ball finally negotiated its perilous voyage and reached the American side of the Falls, it was opened and who stepped jauntily forth but Mary Shaffman. We always thought she was a bouncing little girl. Wondering if Hollywood had beckoned to any of the members of ’31, John Foster asked Dave to bring the famous film colony within range. There we saw Aphro- TWO of f KIND y HOW S1VCH ? COLLEGE CUT-UPS HAIL THE Gfi YG 3 I ’ s BE nUX BRirnneLS MORE OF US M E T A dite Geanoulis starring in Spanish roles and we remem- bered immediately the early days of training in our class play. Writing theme songs for Aphrodite, and doing it well, was Costas Sakilakos. In a casting office managed by Earl Minot, the tele- scope discovered a few of the extras waiting patiently (more or less) for opportunity to display their charms on the silver screen. Among the extras thus busily engaged were Doris McGlue, Anna Roche and Catherine Fay. Eleanor Bodge we learned was starring on the Paramount lot. And we learned too, that the ’phone company of that district is paying extra dividends, the tremendously in- creased earnings resulting from the habit that El has of calling Boston every night to say “hello” and other things to genial Bill Aston. This will be hard to believe, but Bill Aston is acting as night watchman at Radcliffe, and we’ve tried in vain to figure out the attraction that such a position would hold for Bill. The next member of ’31 we encountered in our tele- scopic travels was Jennie Silva, now the proud possessor of one of the large orange groves in Los Angeles. It is rumored that a large part of Jennie’s business consists in supplying the Peabody brides with orange blossoms. By merest chance, while we were discussing the won- ders of the present age including the telescope through which we were looking, it swung suddenly to China. In readjusting it, we had our attention drawn to a vaguely familiar person who was endeavoring to teach Latin to some little Chinese boys. Yes, ’twas Jenny Staples. She was getting along famously too, because the little boys didn’t know when Jenny was giving the correct transla- tion. The eastern lands so delighted us that we peeped into India to see if by any possibility we knew somebody there. One of the very first figures we beheld was that of Ronny Dullea, dressed in a missionary’s garb. We let our gaze follow her along the strange streets until she disappeared into a palatial residence. She seemed to receive such a cordial welcome that we too, by aid of our powerful glass, Eighty-five entered and saw there the prince himself. The prince seemed indeed to be a prince of a good fellow, and on looking close we found it to be none other than Sam Benator, surrounded by his aids and assistants, Arthur Sc-angas, Achilles Kallelis and John Kingsley. At the bid- ding of the court trumpeter, Abe Clopper, all turned to greet the court jester, Robert Adie, who had continued to this point his very excellent habit of saying something brilliant or saying nothing at all. Tiring of these foreign scenes, we hastily focused the telescope on Philadelphia. Here we found that Mary Mor- gan, associated with Ruth Knights, had established a woman’s broadcasting studio. Mary Kearns is their an- nouncer. Oh well, we thought, we can always shut the radio off. Marjorie Earp, we saw, conducting, via radio, a course for aspiring artists. Brought suddenly back to our surroundings by laughs and shouts, we saw Evelyn Smith and Edith Durkee com- ing over the crest of the hill. We stopped for a moment to learn that they were prominent members of the busi- ness world, both Evelyn and Edith acting as secretaries for big business men. But coming back to the work at hand, we next turned out attention to places very near to home. Putnam Lodge we learned was being run by Don Mogavero, who was out there so much during his high school course that they couldn’t seem to “dislodge” him. As a result Don was made general manager. We found Bennie Millstein lead- ing the orchestra which is composed in part of the master violinists, Mary Rodzinski and Peter Micalchuck. Andy Sheehan we discovered playing the French horn, but at this, we weren’t surprised for he was always “horning in” on everything. Behind a big megaphone, only slightly larger than the little fellow holding it, we found Rudy’s successor in the person of Leo . . . surest thing, Leo Lippa. He was softly crooning, “I’m the answer to a maid- en’s prayer.” And we wondered if the answer checked. Our old friend Thelma O’Donnell, we found at the Lodge acting as a hostess, and even this didn’t surprise us wtien n T w L. ' s 4 m iTi k Margie e h p low CHu-DfUnf Iw-yoGRf TRy IN’ TO .Stick Mf SEEN BY OUR ARTIST META we thought back on Thelma’s fondness for Hostess cakes. Farther along in Topsfield we encountered the county sheriff, of course, Curtis Ryan, who had just held up Helen Burns for speeding. And we could almost hear that high pitched voice of Hiram, I mean Curtis, telling Helen not to do it again. Nearby we saw a pretty little farm where we found two old friends of ours. Herb Kimball we saw engaged in his task of raising prize vegetables for the County Fair — he always was some pumpkin. And acting as a very capable assistant to Herb we discovered none other than Lib Osborne. What changes time brings about! We next turned our glass a little to the right, center- ing it upon the City of Alarms where Henry Dooling reigns supreme at the Dooling Alarm Clock Company. And what could be more fitting? As we followed the gaze of a group of people directed upward, we saw Richard Welch still retaining his position on the top of a flagpole, which position he had already held for twenty-nine days. Thelma King we learned is now dean of Jackson College. Under her supervision, Eva Weinstein leads the debating classes. Thelma never did seem to care to talk, but as for Eva, well why go on ? Soon the great metropolis of Peabody came within view of our glass and we eagerly searched for our Alma Mater. There we discovered Ethel Ainscough as Head of the Commercial Department, and we were grieved to learn that Ethel has very little patience with anyone who doesn’t get all A’s. Here we also found Blanche Martin, the gym teacher, and she surely does put plenty of pep into her work. Alberta Wentzel, now President of the Warren National Bank, we saw giving the students a lec- ture on the advisability of saving money in order that when they reached their senior year they would have suf- ficient funds to finance their class banquet. We know you’ll enjoy this: Bud Hayes is the stern truant officer and what he doesn’t know about playing “hookey” isn’t at all worth knowing. There in the corri- dor of the school we saw Jennie Freedman scolding a little red-headed boy whose face seemed very familiar. Eighty-seven His father must live in Peabody — and we focused the tele- scope a little sharper. Yes, there was Tom O’Keefe, now the live, hustling, enterprising, advertising manager for the Peabody Enterprise. We reached Main street, only to behold the familiar Strand Theatre where we found the leading lady, Doris Shea, gracefully but withal efficiently leading the cus- tomers to their seats. On Main Street we also found Edie Perkins, dismantling her beauty parlor. Edie we learned, was about to retire, worth almost $50,000 of which $49,999 was left her by a rich aunt. We gasped. What was Stephen Salpas doing, running from door to door? Steve seemed rather excited, but we smiled when we learned later that he was only collecting coupons which come in Ward’s bread. Jimmy Ward you know, is engaged in operating a large bakery, but then we thought, Jimmy always was “kneading” dough. The prize that Steve was striving to win was nothing but a baby Austin. We next focused our telescope, (pardon, it was Dave’s telescope) on the Peabody Police Station where in one of the very choicest cells we found Greg Manoogian, the first offender to be arrested for one-arm flying. We won- dered who the girl in the case was. A beautiful building next attracted our attention, which building we discovered to be a home for stray cats and dogs founded by Virginia Peabody. Nan Bliss we learned was still the speediest girl in Peabody for Chief of Police Russell Dunn had only recently presented her with a diploma for having been ar- rested the greatest number of times for speeding. Charl ' e Scholnick, the glass pointed out to us as the city’s lead- ing undertaker, and we pondered over the attractions that such work would hold for Charlie. Having located all our old classmates, John Foster suggested that we look in on the faculty and find out what our well-remembered teachers were doing. Eagerly we put our eye to the telescope but alas, the shades of night had fallen, and all was darkness. J. S., N. E.

Nan Bliss leaves to Mr. Foley the peace and quiet in room five that he never had while she was there. “Krachie” leaves his oratorical powers to the able Bill McKinnon. Nel King takes the key but leaves the “Locke” for one more year in Peabody High. Abie Ankeles bequeaths the management of the “Ob- server” to a competent Junior. El Bodge leaves her “winning” ways to Barbara Harris. Connie Flynn leaves his knowledge of women to whom- soever may desire it. Julie Hanlon leaves her dimple to Mary Cruise. That Wilson girl leaves her pocketbook to the first young man that may apply. Jenny Staples leaves her congenial smile, her sociabil- ity, and her all-around good girlishness to the most de- serving Junior. Don Mogavero leaves his way with the girls to Bob Ingraham. Curtis Ryan leaves his six feet two to Tommy Hartnett. Ethel Ainscough leaves her perfect record of A’s to Katherine Hackett. Bill Aston leaves his drag to brother Charlie. Tom O’Keefe leaves his ability to succesfully finance the Year Book to his successor. Charlie Woelfel leaves his gifted pencil to the most artistically inclined Junior. The Senior Class leaves to the Juniors the Faculty of Peabody High with the iniunction that they render to said teachers their loyalty and hear-ty cooperation. To this our last will and testament, we affix our hand and seal. ATHLETICS m VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM, 1930 META One Hundred and One ATHLETICS As the school year of 1931 gradually draws to a close, it is our duty and privilege to review briefly our work upon the athletic field. Upon consulting the football, basketball and baseball schedules we find that we have not been as successful as athletes represe nting Peabody High School in former years. It is a well-known fact that every high school, at one time or another, experiences a few unsuccessful years in the field of sport. It is inevitable and it seems that the year 1931 was destined to be one of the unsuccessful years for Peabody High. We should judge a person’s character by the way in which he carries himself in defeat and not by his actions in victory. The boys of the class of 1931 who have par- ticipated in the varsity sports have shown their excellent character by their attitude after a game in which they suffered defeat. Each man vowed that he would go into the next game fighting as hard as ever. This shows the “don’t-give-up-the-ship” spirit which has always been characteristic of Peabody High athletes. To Mr. O’Connor, our coach, physical director and friend, a man of excellent character and the possessor of a priceless personality, we owe a tribute which he right- fully deserves, but unfortunately, which he has not re- ceived. After conducting gym classes until 1 :20 he devoted the rest of his day to moulding together a football machine or coaching the basketball or baseball team. On the few afternoons which he might have had for his own pleasure, he devoted to the conducting of inter-class and intra- mural games. From the mere statement of these facts we may easily see that Mr. O’Connor has labored early and late in order that we might fully reap the advantages which come from having such a man among us. We realize the task which confronts Mr. O’Connor and know that the process of building something which is to be permanent is a slow one. We have every confidence in his ability, which has been over-shadowed by defeat, and we know that in a few snort years Peabody High School will be again a leader in the athletic world as a result of the efforts of Mr. O’Connor. The hard and scrappy playing of the linemen of this year’s team is due largely to the efforts of Mr. Edward Donahue, of the Class of 1924, who, as assistant coach, has helped Mr. O’Connor develop a fighting and charging line. Mr. Donahue played baseball and football for Pea- body High in 1924 and Boston College in 1927 and 28. His many years of experience as a lineman will help greatly toward the building of powerful lines in future Peabody High School football teams. We owe our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Woodman, our principal, who has so successfully brought about the proper school spirit and who has taught us how to act in athletic defeats. Mr. Burke, our faculty manager, has silently carried on his good work and truly merits all that might be said about him. The performance of the duties of a faculty man- ager is not as easy a task as it seems and Mr. Burke should be congratulated for his fine work. In concluson, we, the student body of 1931, unite in thanking all those who have directly or indirectly con- tributed to our athletic success and wish them the best of luck in their future work of helping to maintain the high standing which Peabody High School has held in the athletic world. SENIOR FOOTBALL TEAM META One Hundred and Three FOOTBALL When Coach O’Connor called for candidates for the 1930 football team there were few veterans among the sixty candidates who responded. It was soon seen that no simple task was in store for Coach O’Connor. Playing their opening game at the Leo Buckley Stadium, under a hot sun with the temperature hovering near the 80 mark, the Peabody boys fought a scoreless tie battle with the strong Rindge Tech team. The new material gave a tine exhibition when one takes into consideration the weather which was almost too warm for baseball. The next three games were against three of the leading- teams of the state and the comparatively inexperienced Peabody team was forced to accept defeat. These three teams were those representing Lynn Classical, Beverly and Melrose High Schools. November 1 saw the invasion of one of the strongest teams ever to represent our most bitter enemy, Salem High. With most of last year’s material back for the 1931 season, Coach Broderick was able to mould together one of the best high school football teams ever seen in this section of the state. Fight as they might the scrappy Pea- body boys could not escape the fate which seemed destined to be theirs. The Salem boys went home feeling happy over their 24 to 0 victory. The following Saturday, the Peabody boys, sulking under so many defeats, took revenge on the Weymouth boys. In this game the boys in Blue and White brought back memories of Peabody football teams of old by defeat- ing Weymouth 7 to 0. The remainder of the schedule called for games against such teams as Boston College High and Lynn English, both claimants to the state championship. Always fighting hard against heavy odds, the Peabody boys could not seem to break into the win column. Our captain for the season of 1930 was George “Stuffy” McGuinness who had already played two years of varsity football. His fine qualities of leadership were brought out by his generalship during our defeats. With “Stuffy” in the bac-kfield was Andrew Kronopolos who played in six games and who was a valuable asset to the backfield. Many end runs and return of punts were spoiled by the fine end play of George Sweeney and Connie Flynn. The two varsity centers were both seniors, “Pete” Kal- lelis and “Jocko” Connolly. They divided the assignment during the season and both helped to strengthen the cen- ter of the Peabody line. Herbert Kimball who played one of the tackle positions proved to be a real iron man by playing in all our games. Substitutes for “Herb” were few and far between. “Greg” Manoogian capably took care of one of the guard positions and proved to be a great aid in opening up holes in the opposition’s line. On every football team there has to be the so-called subs who play an important part in the work of the var- sity. It is, therefore, quite proper that we should mention those members of th e class of 1931 who capably aided the varsity. They are: John Lynch, James Ward, Don Mo- gavero, Tom O’Keefe, Peter Miehalchuck, Bud Hayes and Leo Lippa. BASEBALL TEAM META One Hundred and Five BASEBALL One of the heaviest hitting baseball teams that ever represented Peabody High on the diamond wore the Blue and White during the season of 1931. All the opposing pitchers seemed alike to the Peabody boys. Although there was no North Shore League pennant to aim for and the attendance at the games was not en- couraging, yet the boys deserve great credit for the spirit with which they played and the interest which they showed. The first game had hardly started when Peabody’s batting ability was shown. In that game against Danvers High the boys batted out thirty-one runs in four and one- half innings. In the games following, the Peabody boys always managed to get their share of hits. •Johnny Twomey ’31, and Leonard Johnson ’32, did the brunt of the work in the pitcher’s box. These two boys very capably carried out the pitching assignment. Two- mey was a double threat, for besides baffling the opposi- tion with his assortment of curves, he was one of the leading batsmen on the Peabody team. Our regular second baseman, “Pete” Kallelis, always managed to stop line drives and hard hit grounders when these blows, which were labeled hits, would have meant runs for the opposition. His work in co-operating with the other infielders in making a smooth-working infield showed his ability as a second baseman. Ray Kushmick, one of the most popular boys in the class, played second base when “Pete” Kallelis was shift- ed to third. “Kushy” very capably filled “Peter’s” place at second. P. H. S. LETTER MEN META One Hundred and Seven BASKETBALL Because of the increased interest which has been shown for the past two or three years in the intra-mural and inter-class basketball games, the school authorities, this year, recognized basketball as a varsity sport. Although the season was not as successful as it might have been as far as wins and losses were concerned, the year of var- sity play gave the boys the much needed experience. Coach O’Connor selected nearly all underclassmen as the foundation for his team. “Believe it or not,” as Ripley says, there was only one senior on the varsity team. Two- mey played a great game at center during the entire sea- son and was the cause for more than one basket being scored by our team. Some of the other members of the team who gave proof that next year’s team will be better than the one of 1931 because of the experience gained during this year, were: Anderson, Gness, Urbanski, Feeley, Cronin, Luck- inchook and Trabucco.

C. Freshmen 17 M ETA One Hundred and Nine G IRLS’ ATHLETICS Under the capable direction of Miss Helen Riley, di- rector of girls’ athletics, the girls of ’31 enjoyed many happy hours of sports. As in the past few years basket- ball held the chief interest and the calibre of play ex- hibited by the girls is attested by the record of the girls’ varsity. Nine victories in ten starts is a record of which any team might well be proud. And when it is con- sidered that Peabody is enjoying only its third season of girls’ varsity basketball, the season’s record is even more striking. Blanche Martin ’31 was our sole representative on the varsity. She played such an important role in the victories recorded that we feel some pride in counting her a mem- ber of our class and we feel that we needed only the one shining light so capably played by Blanche. As members of the Alumni we of ’31 will continue our interest in girls’ athletics with the hope that future teams of Peabody High may meet with similar success.
