T wentyfour M E T A P. H. 5. ANNA H. 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.

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?”

P. H. S. META Twenty-five RAYMOND J. DOHERTY “A light heart lives long.” Science Club Operetta Glee Club Strand Night Have you ever strolled down the cor- ridor, dreaming of some fair maiden, and stumbled over some immovable object- ’Tis only smiling, wisecracking “Bud”, small of stature but outstanding in per- sonality. “Buddy” has accepted the above motto as his own and we thereby expect him to live to a ripe old age. EDWARD J. DOOLING “ The ey to happiness: Determination, then resignation.” Football Meta Staff Traffic Squad Debating Club You all recognize “Eddie” as the fel- low who knows all the answers, and al- though he seldom did any homework, he was conspicuous in the classroom for his alertness and striking recitations. We surely feel that his dynamic personality will “cinch” many successful business deals for him. EDWARD G. DOVEY ”Spea softly and carry a big stic .” Science Club Edward is a silent lad who believes in speaking softly but acting convincingly. “True worth lies in the sincerity of an individual”, is his motto. We are quite sure that the future holds many fruitful accomplishments for him. Good luck to you, Ed. May your future life be filled with joy and happiness.
