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.

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.

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.
