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 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.

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.
