P. H. S. META Twenty-three ALICE M. CULLEN A little wor ; a little play M a e for me a happy day.” Science Club Did you ever see Alice without that sunny smile and cheery greeting by which she has won her way into the friend- ship of many people? If we glance at her high school record we do not need to wish Alice the success we feel sure will be hers as somebody’s charming sec- retary. RUSSELL J. CUMMINGS “A faithful friend is worth more than gold.” Band As one of our very successful com- mercial students Russell has by his cheer- ful willingness to help his classmates won for himself their admiration and esteem. His ready wit and his happy disposition made his companionship most desirable. These same qualities will have no little bearing on his future successes. JOHN J. DAVAZYNSKI “The end crowns the wor .” Band Observer Staff Orchestra Meta Staff Track Every class has its share of geniuses. Fortunate are we in having one of the highest calibre in “Dav”. Popular alike with classmates and teachers, he has ac- complished an enviable scholastic record. While the classroom was plunged in si- lence, have you ever heard that familiar refrain, “Hey ‘Dav’, what have you got for the third one?”

T wenty-two META P. H. S. JOHN F. CRAIGEN ' Every inch a man, though there were not many inches.” Science Club Spanish Club Glee Club When Dame Nature was passing out the sizes, “Cricket” must have played hookey, for he certainly lost out on his stature assignment. The proud possessor of a pleasing nature, he has been yet withal a constant source of mirth, a true friend to all who were fortunate enough to make his acquaintance. He shall never be forgotten . MILTON E. CRANNEY “Tin n of him who listens, as well as of him who spea s.” Executive Officer Observer Strand Night Revue “Milt’s” radiant smile has acqui red for him the appropriate name of “Beamie”. Conversation was never dull when “Milt” was present. Sociable and carefree, he made of his “Tally-ho” the familiar cor ' ridor salute. Energetic and businesslike, he will win his full measure of success. GEORGE T. CUKUTOS “ Things without all remedy should be wihout regard.” Science Club George is one of the more conservative of our classmates, believing in talking less and listening more. Each work he un- dertakes, he performs it zealously; what- ever he begins, he finishes. With these characteristics, George will undoubtedly accomplish much in the days to come.

DeCOULOS ‘An open-hearted maiden, true and pure.” S.ience Club Orchestra Glee Club It is too bad this isn’t a talking pic- ture, for we could then hear Anna’s con- tagious laugh. She has hardly been in what we call the limelight of school af- fairs, yet during four years with us Ann has made a great number of friends. Good luck, Ann! ERNEST A. DeFREITAS ' Good humor is the health of the soul.” Glee Club A pleasant likeable fellow is Ernest, and a favorite among his companions. ‘Smile all the while” is his motto and he believes that it should be everyone’s. Per- haps the most lasting impression we will have of Ernest is a young man busying his mind for some new “prank.” EILEEN M. DESMOND “Not a care in the world have I.” Science Club Glee Club Operetta Step right up and meet little “Dissie,” that lively spirited young lady with a ready smile and a cheery word for all. We are well aware of the fact that “Dissie” is somewhere around when we hear that ever popular “Hi-Droop”. We know her charming personality will carry her over life’s rough spots.
