CLASS BASKETBALL “Jack” is that type of young gen- tleman who is always good company and has an abundance of true friends who are always ready to help in his cheery plans. He is both a student and athlete, for continually through- out his High School days he was tak- ing part in all branches of attdetics. We expect great things from “Jack.” RICHARD H. NICKLES “What’s in a name?” You will recognize “Rich” by that expression of wisdom on his face and although he is not distinguished par- ticularly as an athlete nor a student, he is known for his philosophical amiability. As we bid him farewell and good luck on his travels through life, we feel confident that success shall follow his path of humor. JOSEPH L. NORRIS “Character is ' our will, for what we will we are.” An upright lad and resolute of man- ner is this, our schoolmate of five short years. Decision of purpose and the accomplishment of his intention are characteristics which will carry him far onto the road to achievement. We wish you every kind of good luck and fortune, “Joe” as you go from our midst.

DOMINIC MOGAVERO All may do what has been done by man.” SENIOR PLAY VARSITY FOOTBALL CLASS FOOTBALL STRAND NIGHT There was no easy task confronting Don when he came to Peabody High for his brother “Chick” of enviable reputation and accomplishment had preceeded him. It was obviously “Don’s” duty to live up to that mark. How well he did do that you may learn from perusing our annual. HENRY W. MURPHY “There’s no art to tint! the mind’s construc- tion in the face.” Although he was not always promi- nent in the activities of his class, we who were acquainted with Henry are glad that he was in our midst, for in him we found a true comrade and an admirable character. We trust that in his future life he will strive to re- tain those qualities which have made him our friend.

Forty META THELMA M. O’DONNELL “Those about her From her shall read the perfect ways of honor.” Here we extend our greetings to Thelma, the miss with the broad smile and ever pleasing personality. She is one who is ever active in school affairs, conscientious in her studies and the possessor of a host of friends. It is understood that she is preparing to enter some higher institution of learning and with heartiest wishes for success we send her on her way. JOSEPH F. OKARSKI “A lad of mettle, a good fellow. BASEBALL CLASS FOOTBALI, BASKETBALL Modesty and capability have been characteristics of “Joe.” His endeav- ors in scholastic enterprises have re- warded him and reflected credit on the school. Of all sports, he stands in the limelight as an acrobat and can often be seen bending and twisting on our “gym” apparatus. A real fel- low of the class of 1931 is he and we know that there is a bright future in store for him. THOMAS A. O’KEEFE, Jr. “What can say more than the rich praise, that you alone are you. STRAND NIGHT FRENCH CLUB FOOTBALL BUSINESS MANAGER, META Frank, merry Tom, center of all fun and gaiety, and promulgator of many a sparkling social event; surely no better comrade has ever graced the records of human fraternity.

You all know the “Prince of Good Fellows” and join with me in saying “good luck!”
