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 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.

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!
