META Twenty-three ALTHEA V. DEMPSEY “She’ll get by with the twinkle in her eye.” SPANISH CLUB, PRESIDENT META Even the undergraduates will miss “Al’s” sunny smile when she leaves in June. Besides being an accom- plished art student, “Al” can play the piano to the satisfaction of any critic. There’s no doubt that this West Pea- body lass will make good, whatever her course in life may be. THOMAS J. DOHERTY “Still water runs deep.” Did you ever see a long-legged, blonde individual walking along the corridors, joking and laughing. Well, it’s probably “Tom,” or “Alphonse” as you would have it, indulging in one of his good-natured jests and funny remarks. But beneath this out- ward appearance, there’s a thought- ful nature which has real friendship to offer. Keep up the good spirit, “Tom.” HAROLD L. DOWDELL “Give thy thoughts no tongue.’’ TRAFFIC SQUAD SCIENCE CLUB BAND “Hal,” all the way from South Pea- body has smiled his way through High School, making friends, acquir- ing his full share of knowledge, and in general conducting himself in such a way as to lead us to believe that he will accomplish something real in the years to come. He deserves and we trust he will receive, the best that life can offer.

Twenty-two META ELLEN L. DAVIDSON “Her very frowns are fairer far than smiles of other maidens are.” SCIENCE CLUB META STAFF Blonde hair, an abundance of curls and a ready smile — that’s Ellen. Everyone was surprised when it be- came know n that Ellen possessed ar- tistic ability, for until her senior year no hints had been given. But, the secret is no more. We’ll probably be hearing much about her one of these days! MANLEY B. DAVIS “Bold in the lists and graceful in the dance.” VARSITY FOOTBALL TRACK TEAM “Beefy” Davis personifies an envi- able type. He goes his own way and enjoys having you with him, but he leaves the choice to you. He laughs at your jokes and sympathizes with your troubles, yet he keeps his own to himself. Occasionally a reckless streak breaks through and then you really meet him. DOROTHY A. DEE “Truth hath a quiet heart.” In every school there are some who impress us intellectually, and others who impress us by their humor and cheerfulness. The latter class make our school life brighter, but it is rarely that we meet both qualities combined. That is why we shall re- member Dorothy and rejoice that we know her.

Twenty-four META HILDA F. DRAGON FREDERICK E. DRISCOLL MARY L. DUNLEAVY “She is all so slight.” Hilda is quiet, calm, and always collected whatever might be the occa- sion to be otherwise. This ability to smile that winsome smile of hers in difficulties of any nature ought to mean much to her in the stern reali- ties of life. Business is her aim, and rest assured that the business firm that enlists her services will be for- tunate indeed. “Rich with the spoils of nature.” “It’s good to be merry and wise.” CLASS ODE. WORDS It would be unfair to say that we don’t appreciate Freddy, but it would be impossible to say that we under- stand him. His versatile cleverness includes everything, from polished and successful wisecracks in room five to thoughtful, well-measured poetry. His is a disposition that’s really humorous, and a nature that’s really friendly. Throughout the five years that Mary has been with us, she has dis- played a charming personality. Her buoyancy of spirit, vivacity of move- ment, and subtle humor, have changed the classroom from a den of gloom to a happy place. She has implanted in our hearts an admiration which long years shall not erase.
