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.

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.”

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.
