META Thirteen CLEMILDA H. AMARAL “Thy modesty’s a candle to thy merit.” Clemilda is the spirit of gladness, a perpetual bubble of joy! Her laugh- ter and radiant smile seem never to desert her — even under the most try- ing of situations; and perhaps that is one reason why so many of us admire and like her. Withal, it must not be forgotten that Clemilda was a most industrious student. ABRAHAM A. ANKELES Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well. EDITOR-IN CHIEF OBSERVER HONOR STUDENT SR. CLASS PRESIDENT JR. CLASS OFFICER STRAND NIGHT META We take great pride in presenting to you our student and our friend. “Abie” has given to our Alma Mater every ounce of devotion and service and has in every way received just recompense. He has kept high the standard of our school magazine and has competently led our class in its activities. Every member of the class of ’31 will always remember him. ROSE C. ANTOSZEWSKI “A maiden modest, and self-possessed.” You may not know who this young lady is by name, but you will recog- nize Rose as the one who always speaks pleasantly in the corridors to whomever she may meet. Her work during her school days has been always of high standard and in her future business enterprises we feel sure that her competency and pleas- ant disposition will carry her far.

Twelve M E T A ROBERT J. ADIE “None but himself can be his parallel.’’ Preferring to do his share, to do it well, and to do it with as little talk as possible, Robert has faithfully performed his allotted tasks from day to day. His ability in action and in- dependence in thought if used in after life as advantageously as they have been used during his High School years, will insure for Robert a very successful climb to whatever heights he may aspire. ETHEL AINSCOUGH The world agrees that she writes well. ' ' OBSERVER META VALEDICTORIAN No graduate class is ever complete without one of those modest, efficient persons who say little but who do so very much. Our Ethel is that sort. Never ostentatious in manner or speech, she has nevertheless made herself invaluable in her place as an Associate Editor of the Observer. We feel assured that in life she will make herself just as indispensable. BERNICE ALTSHULER “Gentle of speech, beneficent of mind.” Homer might have been acclaiming Bernice when he sang this epigram of praise, for she is one of the love- liest, most winning girls conceivable. Combining charm of manner with se- riousness of purpose as she does, Bernie’s every step will be for ad- vancement. Her cleverness and re- finement ought to make her a distinct asset to the business universe.

Fourteen META MARK ARAKELIAN “You will be what you will to be.” “Mike” blessed with a sunny dis- position and a willingness to work has already gained the two crowning successes of the scholar; the friend- ship of his fellow students and achievement in his studies. He is gifted with an aptitude for things technical and it is assured that he will find prosperity in this, his chosen field. WILLIAM H. ASTON “Character is worth a thousand laurels. OBSERVER META STRAND NIGHT FRENCH CLUB CLASS FOOTBALL SENIOR PLAY In our sophomore year, “Bill” came to us from Medford, a most welcome addition to 1931’s class and a gener- ous contributor to our literary pub- lications. His cheery smile and jovial “hello” won for him many friends before he had been here a year — and what’s more — he’s kept them. Here’s to you, Bill, may you make your place in the world as securely as you have in Peabody High. MARY BACHINILAS “It was myself that sang in me.” There certainly was always a gold- en, happy little bird forever singing in Mary’s heart. Her flashing smile, her irresistable laughter, her sunny self added life in all her classrooms. Friendly, capable Mary will always be one of our pleasantest memories. And so we say at Commencement — Bon Voyage, Mary!
