M ETA Fifteen RUTH H. EERES “The foundation in every noble character is sincerity.” VARSITY BASKETBALL “Ruthie” is not loud. Yet everyone knows who Ruthie Beres is. In her own inimitable way she has found a secure place in the hearts of her classmates. If she undertakes a thing, you can be assured that the task will be completed. Good luck, “Ruthie.” PETER BILLERT “Plain without pomp, and rich without show.” Steadiness to a degree of certainty and an ability to conduct himself without attracting needless attention make “Pete” a man on whom one can depend. Of a mathematical turn of mind, he has, for five years, main- tained an enviable scholastic record. We look for great things from “Pete” and we’re sure he’ll not disappoint us. BARBARA B. BOLLES “I am constant as the northern star.” “Barb” came to us during the middle of our senior year at school. Although many of us have not been fortunate enough to meet this young lady, those of us who have, can assure you that she is a very quiet, lovable girl. We wish her much happiness.

Fourteen i META CHARLES G. BAGLEY “Still waters run deep.” TRAFFIC SQUAD SCIENCE CLUB GLEE CLUB INTER-CLASS BASEBALL Although we are familiar with Charlie as a happy-go-lucky fellow, a few of us have had the privilege of knowing his more serious nature. Under his efficient leadership, the traffic squad was a great success. You’ve been a real friend, Charlie, and we hope to hear from you as a successful electrical engineer. PETER BASHUK “My mind is my kingdom.” SCIENCE CLUB “Pete,” because of a certain aloof- ness, was not well known to many of the class of ’33. In English, however, the orations he delivered when called upon for an oral topic won him con- siderable renown. He confesses that Science holds for him his greatest in- terest and it is in this field that we expect to hear good reports of him. BARBARA O. BATCHELDER “Good nature is an element of success.” OBSERVER META SCIENCE CLUB Gifted with a wonderful artistic talent, “Barb” is indeed a real asset to our class. Already she has received much praise for her fine work as an artist, not only in our high school, but in surrounding high schools, where her posters have frequently appeared. Good luck, “Barb!”

Sixteen META MARY BOYKO “Mighty in deeds, not in words.’’ FRENCH CLUB SCIENCE CLUB Perhaps some of us are not fortun- ate enough to be an intimate of Mary’s but we all know what she has accomplished during the four years she has spent with us at P. H. S. Quiet, sincere and studious, Mary, we feel sure, will find a secure position in the world which beckons her. ALICE M. BOYLE “Not by years, but by disposition, is wisdom acquired.” A whisper, a contagious giggle, and then the “secret is out.” Who caused the mirth is no longer unknown. For we all recognize the source of it all, Alice Boyle. A classroom plus ques- tions from some eager student and we know that “Al” is in attendance in search of knowledge. W. OTIS BRIGGS ‘‘A good heart is worth gold.” SCIENCE CLUB STRAND NIGHT CLASS PROPHET FRENCH CLUB META “The man in the street” — “the man in the corridors.” We know them both, but the latter, “Spanker,” as he is called, is the one in whom we are interested. The roles which he has taken during his senior year as the “wise guy,” “the sanctimonious bishop,” and the class prophet, clearly indicate that Otis must be well known at P. H. S.
