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 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.

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.
