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. Under his thatch of gleaming red hair sparkles a keen wit, equally as bright, which make his popularity what it is. But why say more? You all know the “Prince of Good Fellows” and join with me in saying “good luck!”

META Thirty-nine JOHN T. MURPHY “Here ' s a heart for every fate. SR. CLASS FOOTBALL STRAND NIGHT FRENCH CLUB (PRESIDENT) SR. 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.

META Forty-one ELIZABETH P. OSBORNE “Character is a diamond that scratches every other stone.” OBSERVER META WOMAN’S CLUB Here we have “Lib.” one of the sweetest, friendliest girls we have ever known. Throughout the five years she has ever been ready and willing to smooth the rough places in our journey and to brighten the rou- tine of our lives with her welcome friendliness. RAYMOND W. PATENAUDE And thou, — thou makest the sad heart gay.” VARSITY FOOTBALL CLASS FOOTBALL CAPTAIN. TRAFFIC SQUAD A lively, spirited, young man is Ray, with a ready smile and a cheery word for all. He is well liked by both boys and girls and is a keen lover of merriment and sport. Ray works during the day, but after closing hours — well, just try to find him! VIRGINIA E. PEABODY “They will be most highly valued where they are best and longest known.” TRAFFIC SQUAD META “Ginny” is the one to whom we go when we seek that something that is not exactly sympathy, nor is it criti- cism. Perhaps the word is “under- standing.” In her own sweet way she takes a place in our hearts to be filled by no other. We bid her good luck on her journey into the waiting world.
