META STAFF, 1936 Peabody Institute Library, Peabody 3 1253 00623 597 FOKE WORD Each of us, from time to time, is forced to leave the old familiar places and people to go forth into an entirely new circle. Each of us goes with a little hesitation and a little fear, perhaps, of what lies hidden in this new world into which we must go. A time such as this is now upon us. Our High School days are closed and we are obliged to enter the great world to take up our life’s work. We must not forget the days that have been, and always will be, our happiest. We must not forget those friends who made those days so happy, nor the teachers whose tire- less efforts and intimate friendships have fitted us well with the necessary equip- ment we’ll need to combat the unknown forces that are ahead of us. But Time will inevitably erase these faces which have been so near and dear to us. In order to keep these faces and to keep these little happy incidents always in our minds, we present our Year Book. In the future, when gloom seems to reign, if this book can brighten up these trials that have crossed our paths, then the Meta will have served and served well its purpose. It is for this reason that we worked and tried to put within these covers those faces, incidents and happy occasions that appealed to us during our High School Days. With this introduction, we now invite you to read on - ALMA MATER CLASS ODE Classmates, Farewell, Now our high school days are o’er; Classmates, Farewell, We leave these halls forevermore; For other fields to conquer, Life’s battles to be won; Farewell, Dear Friends, Now our life has just begun. Classmates, Farewell, In the last four happy years. We’ve worked and strived Without a thought of grief or tears; We now go forth together To seek our separate ways; Farewell, Dear Friends, May God be with you all your days. Tune : “Lights Out” Words by Edwina Serpa PRINCIPAL ARTHUR J. BARRY OUR PRINCIPAL It is only fitting that we should here pay our respects to our principal, Mr. Arthur J. Barry, who has worked unceasingly to make these last years of our high school life profitable and memorable years. That he has succeeded to no inconsiderable extent is unquestioned; and as the years unfold before us it is our belief that some of the lessons he taught us will have for every member of our class a high moral as well as material value. It is our sincere desire that there be aroused in the heart of every member of the class a realisation of all that Mr. Barry has done for us, both as individuals and as a class. We are appreciative. We wish him to know that we will be mind ' ful of his efforts in our behalf, and we trust that we, as individuals and as a class, will reflect credit upon him, our principal and our friend during these past two years.

CRAIG ABBOT Silence is golden.’’ Science Club Cheer Leader Craig is a young man of a quiet and retiring nature. He is what one might call truthfully “a man of few words.” We are sure that a world of happiness and success is before him as he steps across our threshold and into the world. ANASTASIA M. ABRAHAM The secret of success is constancy to purpose.” Glee Club Let it not be said that Anastasia ever had a frowning countenance. She has planned to become a nurse and her pleas- ant smile will help her win the esteem of all patients. Her future is one for the good of humanity and we know she will be contented in that line of work. HELVI I. ANDERSON Goodness and simplicity are indissolubly united. Spanish Club P. H. S. Revue Strand Night Helvi, the young lady with the pleasing smile, needs no introductions to most of us. A frank opinion, a cheery smile, a helping hand, an optimistic view of life, — these are but a few of her characteristics. With these pleasing qualities, we feel sure that Helvi will travel far in her chosen career of nursing. P. H. S. MET A Thirteen AGNES ANDRIANOPOLUS “Here’s a little girl and you now her too; With smiles and smiles galore for you.” Agnes is one of our commercial students who has prepared diligently to fill some important niche in the business world. If we know Agnes, and we ought to af- ter four years’ association with her, we do not hesitate to say that the “boss” who has Agnes for a secretary will be fortunate indeed. STANLEY E. ANTOSZEWSKI “Eventually — why not now?” Baseball Golf “Happy-go-lucky” is this fellow’s out- standing characteristic. “Stan” always seems at peace with the world in general and is never in a hurry, but as in the fa- mous success story, he is invariably one of the first to reach a desired goal. He is an all around jolly good fellow. ETHEL ARAKELIAN “Gentle in manner, firm in action.” Spanish Club Ethel has gained a score of friends dur- ing her stay at Peabody High. The twinkle in her eye has lightened many a day for her friends. Ethel has not con- fided her vocation to us but whatever it may be we feel quite certain she will be successful. Fourteen META P. H. S. JORDAN E. ARAKELIAN ‘ He is as wise as he is merry. Junior Class President Observer Staff Strand Night Science Club Meta Staff Who is that busy person whom we see in the corridors always holding a conver- sation with someone? You guessed it.

ANNA ARATHUZIK ‘A good friend is better than silver or gold. Spanish Club Woman’s Club In her quiet way Ann has won the hearts of many of her classmates.

ARCHAMBAULT “A man to act, not tal .” Football Track Armand is a quiet, likeable fellow. He has an abundance of courage and per- severence and is at all times a hard work- er. Such qualities as his cannot help but show themselves in future life and we know that Armand will be well reward- ed. Smooth sailings, Armand! P. H. S. M ETA Fifteen MARION R.

ANNA BASHUK “The well of true wit .is truth itself.’’ Debating Team Spanish Club Meta Staff Woman’s Club Anna is a young woman of many and varied accomplishments, all of which seem to presage for her a rather bright and sunny future.

BENT “Good nature gives one a well desired place in the world.’’ Debating Club “Wendy” has become one of the most popular members of our class by his in- defatigable cheerfulness and willingness to cooperate in all activities.

BERRY “Art is the mirror of the Soul.” Observer Staff Class Basketball Meta Staff Woman’s Club P. H. S. Revue Look at the crowd around tha bulletin board! What are they gazing so intently upon?

EVELYN BETTENCOURT “A happy life consists in tranquility of mind.” Woman’s Club Meta Staff Spanish Club In her quiet way this charming miss has won for herself a firm hold on the affections of her classmates. Evelyn is talented; she is diligent; she is loyal! We could go on and on, extolling her for her many virtues. Suffice to say that with her many excellent qualities she will not fail to attain a high position in life. STEPHEN A. BILJI “ Victory crown hard labor.” It is quite difficult to think of “Steve” without the quality of mirth. Because of his vivaciousness and good humor, he has become quite an attractive personage amidst a wide circle of friends. Conse- quently, we are confident that “Steve” has a successful future in store for him. P. H. S. META Seventeen DAVID N. BROOKS If you can dream — and not ma e dreams your master.” Although David has never taken part in school activities, he is a great lover of outdoor sports. He has won prizes at the town’s winter carnival in skiing and snowshoeing and at the county fair for the knives he has forged and the model ships and airplanes he has built. ELEANOR C. BROOKS She who does not thin too much of herself is much more esteemed than she imagines.” Editor-In-Chief Observer Meta Staff Eleanor represents those who choose to speak few words, but whose accom- plishments are witnesses of their real ability. Her contributions to the Obser- ver, despite their genuine worth, do justice only in a small degree to her mental fa- culties, for she is also quite proficient in many other fields of activity. We expect a great deal from Eleanor in the future. FRANCES P. BROUGHTON ”Loo into her eyes for the reflection of friendship.” Traffic Squad Most likely you all know the “Brough- ton” girl from “Cedar Grove, the tall graceful figure with twinkling eyes, who dashes across the second floor and up the stair-case to the third floor for traffic duty. Many of us have often wondered why she constantly paces that second floor? We have not discovered what “Frannie” is planning to do after grad- uating, but we wish her the best of luck. ELIZABETH D. BROWN “Old friends are best.” Spanish Club Woman’s Club “Betty”, as she is known to many of us, has led a quiet and simple life during her four years at school.

BUCHANAN “J [or nowest thou what argument Thy life to thy neighbor’s creed has lent.” Meta Staff Science Club Strand Night “Kay” is not really as sober as her dark clothes might lead one to believe, but rather very pleasant and friendly. She has contributed both to our Observer and our Year Book and we hope she will con- tinue her literary work in the years ahead. ARTHUR J. BURKE “Good humor is goodness and wisdom combined. Although we have known “Art” for only about a year, he appears to be of a nature both affable and industrious. In his short stay with us, he has made many friends, for he has a pleasing personality and is a jolly good fellow. P. H. S. META Nineteen HENRY A. CHAMPAGNE “A lad of silence but of merit.

ALBERT E. CHENERY The world steps aside and lets pass the man who nows where he is going.” Meta Staff Class Basketball Science Club Spanish Club Albert is truly a young man of few words.

MICHAEL CHERWEK “ Victory crowns hard labor.” Science Club Spanish Club Class Basketball This blond-haired son of ’36 has been one of the really diligent members of our class for four years. “Mike”, despite his love of good times, has in no way neg- lected his studies so that he is now well- equipped to face the great world before him. Good luck to you, “Mike”! Twenty MET A P. H. S. STEPHEN H. CHIGAS ‘‘Silence is golden.” A lthough Stephen has not taken an ac- tive part in our school activities, he has been a help to our class in that he car- ries cheerfulness with him. He is quiet by nature, although at times he gives way to a chuckle of merriment. Usually this occurs in his history class. We wonder ■why. ROBERT S. CLARE ‘‘Men judge us by the success of our efforts.” Class Basketball “Rusty”, jovial, friendly, and debon- air, ranks among the “happy-go-lucky” fellows of our class. Perhaps he has a se- rious note in his nature, but we have found him always looking at the bright and humorous side of life. With best wishes for success we bid him “au re- voir.” RUTH E. CONWAY “Petite but oh so sweet.” Spanish Club P. H. S. Revue Girls’ Basketball Cute and petite is our “Ruthy”, who greets everyone with her pleasant smile.

All we can say is, Lucky orphans!” DOROTHY B. COPELAND “The end crowns the wor .” Observer Staff Debating Club Meta Staff Woman’s Club Valedictorian Clever, capable, comely, — these are just a few of the fitting epithets applied to our “Dot.” “Dot” has a scholastic record which is the envy of some of her less for- tunate classmates.

CORBETT “To be or not to be, that is the question! “Rod” has been rather quiet in his years with us.

Best of luck, “Rod.” MARY E. CRANNEY “ Haste thee Nymph and bring with thee Jest and youthful jollity.” Whenever you see a group of people obviously enjoying themselves and laugh ' ing in a carefree manner, in their midst you may be sure to find our “Bess.” For during her school career she has always lightened the day’s work by a happy-go- lucky smile or an amusing tale. Here’s hoping the business world appreciates her as much as we have! BEATRICE E. CURTIS “A presence which is not to be put by.” Here is a charming person with loads of “pep” and vivaciousness whom we all recognise as “Beechie.” Her flashing smile, her irresistible laughter, her sunny self added life to all her classrooms.

LAVINIA M. DREW “Modesty and humility are indications of greatness of mind.” Quiet, studious, diligent seem to be the adjectives that best describe this charm- ing daughter of ’36. Because Lavinia would not wish it, we will not make pre- dictions for her future. But the accom- plishments of the future, as life unfolds for her, will speak volumes. Cheerio Lavinia! P. H. S.

Whimsical, willing, witty, — “Tom” is expected by those who know him well to win for him- self a high position in the workaday world. MARY L. HARTNETT “The world belongs to the energetic.” Observer Staff Honor Student Editor-In-Chief Meta There is so much to be said in praise of Mary that the limited space will be entirely insufficient. A glance at her ac- tivities, or better still a few minutes with the miss herself, will lead to the conclusion that here is one of the really brilliant stars of the class of ’36. Keep up the good work, Mary! FRANCIS E. HERLIHY “Genial his smile as summer sun; And firm his handclasp. Glee Club Football Science Club P. H. S.

MIRIAM HOFFMAN “ She has a smile for every friend, And for every smile a friend.” Debating Club Spanish Club Science Club Woman’s Club Traffic Squad Does anyone need an introduction to “Mishie”? Her lively “full-of-fun” spirit together with her magnetic personality have made her known to one and all of her classmates. Fortune will be loath to frown on one blessed with such an abun- dance of good nature and an everlasting willingness to serve. JOHN F. HOGAN “Good nature is one of the richest fruits of true Christianity.” Spanish Club In “Jack” we find characteristics of quietness and reliability that point to a successful life. He didn’t participate in athletics, but he was ever present with his support and encouragement. Essen- tially modest, good-natured, upright, “Jack” makes us think of him as of life itself. May good fortune continue to shine on this popular son of ' 36. P. H. S. META Forty-one EDNA M. HOLDER “A companion who is cheerful is worth gold.’’ Earnestness, reliability, industry are some of the qualities that set apart Edna from the ordinary mortal.

His many friends extend to him best wishes for a little more than his share of worldly success. JOSEPH B. ISAACSON “Give thy thoughts no tongue.” Now please do not get from the above quotation the wrong impression of our pal “Joe”. True it is that he seems quiet at times, but when the occasion demands he gives free and full expression to his thoughts. He knows whereof he speaks, and because of this fact we do not hesi- tate to predict for him a sunny future. MARY J. KARABELAS “True worth is in being, not seeming.” Junior Red Cross Class Basketball Baton Squad Girls’ Basketball We must place Mary among the quiet but active members of our class.

She has made many friends among us through her helpfulness. On your climb to reach the summit of success, we shall be cheering for you, Mary. In all of the class of 1936 there is we believe no one with qualities surpassing this charming little lady. True she is quiet at times, but when she does give voice to her thoughts you will find that she has really said something. No empty words for Helen; no frivolous froth; but good sense in abundance. Good luck! Bruno is a lover of music. He plays we are told, a banjo, a guitar, and a ukulele, although not all at once.

JACOB LERNER “He has merit, good nature and integrity.” Science Club Strand Night Jacob Lerner — in person!

JOHN LUKINCHOOK “ Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.” Meta Staff Class Officer There is absolutely nothing that savors of insincerity in the makeup of this truly representative son of the class of 1936. Space, or rather lack of space, prevents us from enumerating all of the substan- tial qualities that will make us some day soon proudly say, “Sure, ‘Johnny’ was a classmate of mine.” FRANCIS J. LUZ “AJothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” Meta Staff Basketball Science Club Executive Committee, Sr. Class Here is one of the “live-wires” of our class. “Frank’s” ingenuity, steadfastness, and helpfulness have gained for him the esteem of our class.

We wish you success, George! We know you deserve it! ANNA E. MAKLAE “ The fairest of the fair.” Someone in the dear dim distant past made the ingenuous statement that “Gen- tlemen prefer blondes.” Anna, one of our most attractive blondes, has so many other pleasing characteristics that it is no wonder that she was, in her quiet, unob- strusive way, one of our best liked class- mates. She will make for some lucky “boss” a very attractive and capable sec- retary. Fifty ' two META P. H. S.

BERNARD MARRON “He who can put a great deal into little is a master.” From the above quotation you will read- ily surmise that “Bernie” is a man of few words.

Another “Babe” Ruth? JOHN A. MONTGOMERY “A gentleman ind, considerate, courteous.” John is always the gentleman! Unfor- tunately this cannot be said of some of the thoughtless others who for some pe- culiar reason never seem able to act the part.

THE The Observer has passed another milestone in its literary life and has bidden another class of seniors a fond farewell. Our school publication has done much more than merely observe. It has passed along its observations through its well known column, The Chronicle. It has entertained its readers with the wit of its “Pepper Shaker”, has given bits of advice and quaint philosophy in its Editorials, and has offered samples of the literary attempts of the members of our English classes through ' out its pages. The class of thirty-six has been proud of the Observer, as has each preceding class. We now pass the torch to the class of thirty-seven with the hope that they will feel the same pride in the publication when they pass it on to their successors. John Quinlan was appointed editor-in-chief of the Observer and served in that capacity for half of the year. On his resignation, Eleanor Brooks, became editor META One Hundred and One OBSERVER and carried through the work to a most successful con- clusion. We can not let this opportunity pass without bestowing upon Eleanor a full measure of credit, not alone for her efforts during the last half of the senior year, but for the numerous articles, stories and poems contri- buted during junior and senior years. Other members of the staff for 1935-1936 were: Associate Editor, Dorothy Copeland; Business Manager, Barbara Penniman; Circulation Manager, Richard Eagan; Literary Editor, Kanella LeLake; Chronicle, Mary Hart- nett; Boys’ Athletics, Thomas Meaney; Girls’ Athletics, Elisabeth Osborn; Alumni, Virginia Miller; Art, Jordan Arakelian, Barbara Berry, Robert Flachbart and Philip Reidy. Faculty advisers were: Principal, Arthur J. Barry; Literary, Mr. Frederick R. McManus; Financial, Mr. David P. Collins; Art, Miss Grace Loud. DGBATING CCOB P. H. S. M ETA One Hundred and Three THE DEBATING CLUBS Our final year in high school marked a continuation of the active interest in debating that has characterized Peabody High School as one of the leaders in this field. While we had only one interscholastic debate, there was throughout the entire year a genuine interest in this most worthwhile of activities. Early in the year officers were elected under the direction of Mr. Frederick R. McManus, Head of the English Department, and Mr. Arthur V. Johnson, who served as moderators during the year. The officers elected were: President, Paul Gallagher; Vice-president, Barbara Penniman; Secretary, Virginia Miller; Treasurer, Samuel Pickman. The first debate of the year was won by the girls’ team which defeated a boys’ team int a discussion of women ' s emergence from the home. The girls’ team was composed of Kathryn Sweeney, Virginia Miller, Helena Rosen and Anna Bashuk. Debating for the boys were: Paul Gallagher, Samuel Pickman, Thomas Mearaey and John Ryan. , In the interscholastic debate with Revere High School held early in June, Peabody was very ably represented by Paul Gallagher, Anna Bashuk, and Samuel Lichman. There was, by mutual igreement, no decision given. We have enjoyed participating in debating; we have profited from our experience. We express the sincere hope that this activity will continue and flourish at Peabody High School and that teams representing the Blue and White will continue to give a good account of themselves in their debates with teams of our neighboring schools.

META One Hundred and Eleven SOCIAL Four short years ago a gathering of giggling girls and bash ' ful boys entered the portals of Peabody High School. For the first two years as Freshmen and Sophomores, we felt we were being looked upon as rather insignificant and consequently un- important beings. As Juniors, however, we began to show definite signs of development and after organizing and selecting class officers we launched our social craft under the guidance of Miss Anne Brownstone, our class advisor. Our other high officials for the Junior year were President, Jordan Arakelian; Vice-president, Mary Hartnett; Secretary, Lillian Doyle; Treasurer, Francis Haran; Executive Committee, John Lukinchook, Mabel Pratt and John Tranos. Our first port was the Junior Frolic which proved to be one of the most successful informal dances ever held in the high school. It was this dance, we believe, which presaged the really great achievements that were to come. Then came our Junior Prom! And what a prom! The gym as usual was transformed into a veritable spot of beauty with the colors of the rainbow giving finishing touch to our decorations for this occasion. Long should we remember this outstanding event of our Junior year. In our fourth year, we became, in our own minds at least, the kings and queens of the school. This year the leadership EVENTS was given into the hands of a committee of class advisers made up of Miss Helen Hood, Mr. Michael Higgins, and Mr. Freder- ick R. McManus. High officials at the helm of our most sea- worthy craft were President Richard Eagan; Vice-president, Mabel Pratt; Secretary, Lillian Doyle; Treasurer, John Quinlan; Executive Committee, Kathryn Sweeney, Francis Luz, and John Lukinchook. We made our first stop in Senior year at the port of the Senior Hop. On this occasion our gym was tastefully decorated in our class colors of green and gold. The voyage reached its climax when we held our Strand Night early in OUR YEAR 1936. Remember the “Follies ? On the homeward journey we stopped at the port of Selling Chances and we picked up a rich cargo. Then came the banquet in celebration of our enter- prise and we lavishly spent part of our treasure. The home coming celebration in the form of our Senior Reception at the City Hall on the night of June 19 was the greatest of all. Never before was the hall so beautifully deco- rated and we shouldn’t let this opportunity pass to pay just tribute to Miss Loud and her capable junior assistants for their most efficient work in preparing the hall for our final social event of 1936. So closed the happy voyage on the Sea of Social Activities. P. H. S. M ETA One Hundred and Thirteen CLASS PROPHECY (TIME — THE YEAR 1950) On July 4, 1950, “Barb”, “Dotty” and I attended the Pal- ace Theater in New York City to witness the premiere of “Billy” McKeon’s “Follies”. The star of the show, much to our amuse- ment and amazement, proved to be our very popular and very attractive vice-president, Mabel Pratt, one of the really bright lights of the class of ’36. As we entered, the next number on the program was announced as “The World’s Roller Skating Champion.” “Doesn’t her face look familiar? I whispered to “Barb” and “Dot”. “She looks like ’Peggy’ Moore from our class.” “Of course, that’s just who it is,” they both whispered. “Isn ' t she graceful?” After the performance we made our way back to Mabel’s dressing room. A maid answered the door and I told her to tell Mabel that Mary Hartnett, Barbara Penniman and Dorothy Copeland wished to see her. In a few minutes the maid returned and asked us to come in. We entered a gorgeous suite which could hardly be classed as a dressing room, so luxurious were the appointments. Then Mabel appeared and what a beautiful sight she was! Hello, Mary, ’Barb’ and ‘Dot’,” she heartily greeted us. “Where have you been keeping yourselves these long years since ’36?” “Oh, we’re visiting New York for a little vacation and we saw the advertisement of the ‘Follies’ in the paper, so here we are. The producer of this show couldn ' t by any chance be THE ‘Bdly’ McKeon, who graduated with us from high school, could he?” I asked. “Yes, it’s the same old ‘Billy’. I’ll call him and try to get him up here”, replied Mabel, taking the telephone. “Hello, ‘Billy’, will you come up. Yes, it is very important. Right away, yes.” “Ri-n-g”, went the doorbell and the maid soon returned say- ing, “There is a man out here who insists upon seeing you, Miss Pratt, and he won ' t give his name. Shall I let him in?” “I don’t need an invitation, burst forth a voice, and there stood Jordan Arakelian. “Hi, Mabel! Well, well, where did you pop from, Mary, ‘Barb’ and ‘Dot’?’’ he greeted, giving us a casual wave of the hand. “Hi, ‘Toots’ ”, a familiar voice penetrated the air and in walked the famous producer of the “Follies in person, Billy McKeon. “Well if it isn’t our old friend, Billy , I exclaimed. Tell me, ‘Bill’, how do you happen to be head man of the Follies ? “You remember the impersonation of the ‘Follies ' we gave at Strand Night? It was that inspiration that started me on the road to the heights, and here I am,” he explained. But what about yourself?” “I ' m employed in Uncle Sam’s Department of Justice, chas- ing public enemies.” “You were always good at detecting news for the ‘Pepper Shaker’. What about you, ‘Barb’?” he asked. “Why, she is that famous editor who is always slamming the present administration and who is receiving such widespread recognition,” supplied “Dot ”, “And I ve just returned from Paris with a French accent and a trunk full of clothes. What have you been doing, ’Arco’?” “Oh, I ' ve established a chain of garages.” “Yes, I’ve heard of the ‘Arko Garages’,’ said Mabel. “Have you any news from home, ‘Arko’?” asked Billy , getting serious for once in his life. “You seemedi to do pretty well as Walter Winchell during our school days.” “Well, you asked for it and here goes: There is a blushing professor teaching the pretty co-eds at B. U. and it’s ‘Red’ Quin- lan, our class treasurer. Peabody is now the home of one of the country’s leading foot experts in the person of ‘Phil’ Reidy. In a new shoe store on Main Street only the other day I saw perched on a high stool a very efficient looking bookkeeper, Mary Sinos.” P it • P. H. S. META One Hundred and Fifteen Speaking of Main Street, interrupted Barb , the largest A. P. store in Peabody is very capably managed by ' Steve’ Bilyj. The Spiliotis sisters, Amelia and Isabel, are busily and successfully engaged in the manipulation of woman’s crowning glory, offering plenty of competition to Louise Richards who is just across the street.” “That reminds me, I saw five of our classmates going there only yesterday. They were Bertha Singerman, Edna Serpa, Ruth Peura, Marion Bacherman and Anna Arathuzik, now stenograph- ers at Filene’s.” Didn’t you see two members of our class when you came in?” Mabel asked us. “No,” we all answered, looking rather blankly at each other. “That’s strange. Our box office is being handled by ' Dick’ Eagan, our class president, ably assisted by ‘Red’ McNally. ' Dick’ as usual is doing a mighty fine job, and is the same good scout now as he was in the good old days.” “I was reading the paper this morning and — wait, here’s a copy,” said “Barb , picking up the paper and reading, “Henry Champagne, with Alfred Poole as co-pilot, has broken the rec- ord for a non-stop flight around the world. Anna Damm, a racer at the County Fair at West Peabody, has set a new county record pitching horseshoes. Kenneth MacRae, the latest Valen- tino, along with Walio Okker, Paul Whiteman’s new competitor with ' Ginny’ Miller and ' Gerry ' Howlett as his vocalists, is en route to Hollywood.” “Oh boy, look at this,” gasped “Dot”, reading over “Barb’s” shoulder. “Acknowledgement is made to Robert Clare and Leo Ronan for their invaluable advice in the production of ‘All’s Well That Ends Well. ' Can you imagine, of all people, ‘Bob’ and Leo going Shakespearean?” “Well, my weakness is still the funny page,” interrupted “Billy”. “And my favorite is ' Little Audrey’ sketched by Frank Kozak, with dialogue written by Eileen Desmond.” “Here’s an advertisement for the Antoszeuski 6? Suchecki Cir- cus. Listen to this line written by the press agent, John Sudak: ‘Greatest show on Earth, with the world renowned Robert Dunn and his trained lions; the two greatest clowns in circus history. Joe Dooling and Frank Malik; Dan Duggan riding Jumbo, the biggest elephant in the world; See our intelligent monkey fed his peanuts by Lyman Earle, his trainer”, read “Arko”. “Let’s turn on the radio,” offered “Barb”, turning the dial. “Flash! Leo Donahue, the crooner, got the gong at Major Sozanski’s Amateur Show. Now he knows how good he really is. — First prize for the evening was won by ' The Tapper’, our old friend, Muriel Stone. By the way, she was a classmate of mine; but then sol was Donahue, but I’d just as soon forget that. — Evelyn Bettencourt gave a campaign speech in behalf of the candidacy of our own Sara Zall, first nominee of her sex for the high office of Governor of the Commonwealth. — On the same ticket is Poppy Zolotas running for State Treasurer. — The Tigers won a hard fought game today against the Red Sox, 5 to 4. Sam Soucy pitched for the Tigers and Tony Gaieski for the Sox. — ‘Eddie’ Narbis has just been appointed head coach at St. Bonaventure, his Aima Mater. — Signing off from Station Q. E. D. — Frances Broughton.” “Some broadcast,” remarked Mabel. “Have some choco- lates,” offering me some. “No thank you. I’ve got to reduce.” “That reminds me,” interrupted “Dot”, Arlene Cooke, Hilda Seppila and Elinor Waters are running a beauty parlor, featur- ing reducing machines, invented by ‘Izzy’ Sternberg.” “Mind if I say something? I admit I never wag much of a competitor for you jabbering women,” ventured “Arko” in ' that timid little voice so characteristic of him in high school. “I had a tooth pulled by a very sedate individual today. Dr. Albert Chenery, and was I nervous? So nervous in fact that his very charming nurse, Anne Panasuk, held my hand throughout the ceremony — I mean operation. From the looks of her hands she has been patronizing our class manicurist, Shirley Raymond. When I staggered out of his office, a little the worse from the effects of the gas, I saw ‘Al’ Niconchuk selling his prize cab- bages in the new vegetable store owned by Marek Pzegeo. At 2 :30 I saw strolling out of the P. H. S. one of the new teachers of history, Jacob Press, Doris Randall of the Mathematics De- partment and Helen Waisberg of the Commercial Department. David Brooks is the head of Peabody’s large maple sugar indus- try. His assistants are Arthur Scangas and Harold Samuelson.” EfMe w ' l te. w hti) J ' ' ” - Co Vf) is r (l .t himstes f ' fte |er,SFvt c Cvila i t 4 -K I H 31V ' f !j WvsoV lioof, I iT - : 4 ' 7 | n ‘ v—� 3 j ROOM 102 -r, tV e « o f e Ions Vont J f KlJ f 1 P.

Her prise customer is ' Hank ' Shea, the new theater manager, who it is reported is much interested in one of our fashionable dress- makers, Ruth Swift.” “When I was in Switzerland, ” chimed in “Dot” who did, I meet yodeling in the Alps but ‘Dick 1 Ryan, practicing for the coming season at the Opera! And at Vienna, ' Ray’ Nelson was making a name for himself in the medical world. And oh, how he slays them! At Oxford ‘Eddie’ Pabisz is teaching! them our American English, and as usual doing a first class job of it.” “ ‘Jimmy’ McVann, the cartoonist, is using ‘Jimmy’ Nangle as his inspiration in his cartoons,” added “Barb” “and ‘Dot’ Page is a regular feature at the Metropolitan, tap dancing with Lilian Dowdell, the blues singer. ‘Lil’ sings and the audience feels blue. Agnes Sideris and Muriel Poirier are designing their costumeis. Shirley Robinson, is the cashier and Peter Palavan- chuk and Edward Nevins are the head ushers.” “By the way, did you hear about the new restaurant opened by Mary Ring, Livia Trask and Eleanor Ryan, named ‘Ducky Soup’? The place is ducky, not the soup. Ducks are expensive these days. Craig Abbott is their cook and ‘Betty’ Brown is the baker. ‘Brownies’ are her specialty,” I supplied. “Oh, I almost forgot to tell you,” burst forth Mabel, “Bar- bara Berry is drawing advertisements and has for models Anna Bashuk and Catherine Buchanan. They always were model girls. Michael Cherwek and Stephen Chigas have a taxi company es- tablished in New York and ‘Tommy’ Nevins is working for them They feature rides around the Central Park at night, and is busi- ness rushing? I saw ‘Bill’ Spatrick inquiring about the prices. Jacob Stahl is a steeple-jack and ‘Charlie’ Tolios is in the win- dow cleaning business. Now he doesn’t have to stretch his neck.” “I played golf at the Salem Country Club the other day and I saw ‘Joe’ Sylvanowicz there. He’s now the golf pro. ‘Al’ Studzinski is the caddy-master,” supplemented “Arko”. “I went to the fights last night, and to my surprise George Routses was fighting in the feather-weight class. He won and is now going to fight in the bantam-weight class. Now he can qual- ify as my body guard,” said “Billy”. Armand Archambault is his manager and George Sheinhit is his sparring partner. One of the policemen stationed there to keep some semblance of order was John Langan.” “I went to the Adirondacks on my vacation,” started Mabel, “and found Eleanor Brooks in her laboratory studying the stars. She has become quite an astronomer with Ruth Conway and ‘Bessie’ Cranney as her assistants. I stayed at the Ritz Hotel and found ‘Billie’ Earle as the clerk. I was quite surprised to see him and even more surprised, perhaps even astounded, when ‘Bill’ Goos took my bags. And did he stick around for the tip! That night the lobster I had for dinner made me sick and I asked for the cook to complain. When ‘Billie’ Graham appeared as the cook in question, no further explanations were needed. And yet looking back over this little incident I am at a loss to know what ‘Bill’ had against me. The next morning I went down- stairs quite early. In my haste to reach the dining room I stepped on a piece of soap and what a toss I took! Looking around for the cause of my mishap, I saw Francis Herlihy laugh- ing his head off. He also was a bell hop and was in his spare moments giving the stairs their morning ablutions. After a hec- tic week at the Ritz, I went home to enjoy a well earned vaca- tion.” “I was taking my girl home the other night,” chimed in “Arko”, “and I got a flat tire. After trying in vain to fix it, a wagon loaded down with freshly cut hay appeared and the farmer asked if I wanted help. I said yes, and looking up, I saw it was ‘Duke’ Kolhonen. He answered, ‘I hope you get it,’ and off he drove. I waited for a while and no help came along, so I walked five miles to the nearest garage. You can imagine the shock I got to find it operated by Doris Pepper and Ruth Perry. They said they were sorry, but their own car was ‘on the blink’ and they couldn’t help me any. I telephoned a garage in Pea- body Square. But that telephone operator, ‘Ruthie’ Reid, was listening in on an interesting call and it took her about an hour to get my number. (I’ll bet Walter Winchell would like to know her!) Finally I got the tire fixed by Thomas Hannon, the mechanic. What a night that was!” exclaimed “Arko”. “That is nothing to compare with the night I took an aero- plane ride over the Beverly Air Port.

After getting off I went into Blood’s where Pete Kotsovilis and Kasmiz Gaiske are meat cutters. (Remember how ‘Pete’ used to get the cold should- er from the chickens?) And of course, Kasmiz always liked to beef. The two efficient clerks on the Bakery Counter are ‘Jen- nie’ Soucy and Stella Zayac.

Just because you went to Washington can’t you ever forget about Blood’s once in a while? , barges “Dotty”. “When I was in Radio City, I saw Nelsie White, working as a ticket girl. And guess who is still building up to an awful let down? Sylvia Wirtanen is running the elevator, said Billy. “The door bell rang the other day and who was it but Paul Gallagher, the Fuller Brush Man. He is using his vocal chords to advantage, now. John Tranos is using his brawn as a mover in business for himself. George Zarules is working for Johnny and, — “Wait a minute, ‘Barb’, before I forget, did you know that Lillian Doyle is the owner of a large dancing school? I went to the recital last week and it was marvelods. ‘Kay Flynn and Phyllis Graves are assisting her. ‘Joe’ Isaacson invented a new automatic broom and sold half interest to ‘Tony’ Hubiz and Frank Gelott and the three are now in the money. They are making a clean sweep of everything. A new newspaper, ‘The Daily Fly’ has been started in Peabody by Jimmy Goggin and on his staff are ‘Pete’ Kushnieruk, Anna Galvin, and Ruth Fromer. His comic sheet is drawn by Laura Garrow, and Lena Glass is his business manager. You should see Lena flying around getting ads! I suppose you’ve heard about that new Photographic Studio in Peabody established by Urseline Gill and Grace Dullea. They promise to make any improvement that nature failed to do. So don’t forget to patronize them because all of you could stand improvement,” I said, ducking the pillows that were being thrown. “Going on,” continued “Barb” “you know the new chil- dren’s books entitled, ‘Goobsey Twins’, are written by Helen Peterson and Mary Dubie. Rose Horrigan and Penelope De- Coulos, owners of a primary school, are the biggest buyers of the books. A large orphanage in Chicago is under the manage- ment of Lydia Coombs as the matron. Helvi Anderson is teach- ing the orphans aesthetic dancing and Agnes Andrianopolos is teaching them to croon. They’ll be some orphans when they get through with them!

That Fish Market on Central Street is owned and operated by William Mistopoulos and Thekla Karahalis is his Bookkeeper. Oh, yes, if you ever have any trouble with your chimney or roof, be sure to hire John Montgomery and ‘Art’ Marrs who do first-class work.

She is still trying to grow. “Going on before I was so rudely interrupted, continued Billy, looking at me crossly, “Katherine Niemchick is a flap- jack maker in Georgia Nickolopolos ' s new Breakfast Nook . Barbara Tumelty is writing the ‘Advice to the Lovelorn in the New York Times. I met her the other day and she was telling me that Sam Lichman is District Attorney of Essex County. He is in a position to inquire about the why and wherefore of things. He was always good at that sort of thing in our schooldays. That famed politician in Peabody, ‘Frannie Luz, was instrumental in getting ‘Ned’ Lynch, dog catcher. Lets give Three woofs for him. The newly appointed Inspector of Motor Vehicles in Massachusetts is Robert Lord. He had a lot of experience along those lines when he was in High School after all those accidents he was in. The United States Dancing Society sent two mis- sioners, ‘Libby’ Osborn and ‘Polly’ Tersolo to the South Sea Islands. They are showing the girls there the Art of Dancing a la Amerique.” “I remember reading in the paper that George Makela and ‘Eddie’ Ludwig, who are in the trucking business, were sued by ‘Jake’ Lerner for killing one of his prize chickens. Stanley Li- kovitch was ‘Jake’s’ lawyer, so George and ‘Eddie’ had to pay the suit.” I added. “For heavens sake, it is two o’clock! We’ve got to be go- ing!” exclaimed “Dotty”. “Gosh, doesn’t the time fly,” said Mabel, “But it has been great fun. Don’t stay away so long the next time. Come again soon.” “We will,” we chorused leaving and in a few minutes we were swallowed up by the fast moving traffic of New York City, smiling to ourselves as we thought about the fate of our class- mates, wondering what they look like, vowing that we will look up these old friends when we have time. So closed another chap- ter in our lives. M. H., B.P.. D. C. AV.t� Kir ' yJ- fy . P. H. S. META One Hundred and T wenty-three CAN YOU IMAGINE? Lena Glass — as a snake charmer?

META One Hundred and Thirty-three GIRLS’ ATHLETICS This year has been one of the truly memorable years in the history of girls’ athletics at our high school. During the course of this final year basketball, baseball and field hockey, all received their share of attention. Thp outstanding event of the year from a social, athletic or educational point of view was the gym meet between the Blues and the Whites, held in our school gymnasium on 1 the evening of April 23. Throughout the year the members of these teams had contested on a point sys- tem to determine not only the better team but also the outstanding individual performer for the year. On the evening of April 23, the winner was decided, the Blues under the leadership of Chrisoula Argeros, 37. The star performer for the year and for the evening was “Polly Tersolo of our class, a really merited honor for in every activity for girl ' s “Polly” proved herself to be a capable performer as well as a real sportswoman. Our comment would not be complete, of course, without mention of our excellent basket- ball team which won eight games and lost but one. Champion basketball teams at Peabody un- der the direction of our gym instructor, Miss Helen Riley, have become somewhat of a habit: we say this not boastfully, but rather as a statement of fact borne out by the record of tour teams for the past several years. Our basketball stars of ’36 were: “Polly” Tersolo, Helen Es- pinola, Lydia Coombs, “Dot Page;- “Peggy” Moore and Manager “Lil” Osborn. May we express the hope that the future of girls’ athletics at Peabody High will continue to be bright and even more successful than the happy years we experienced. GOLF TEAM JUNIOR RED CROSS CHAPTER One Hundred and T hirty-six MET A P. H. S. AFTERWORD And now for a final word. Our work has ended. The Meta of 1936 will shortly, we hope, begin to serve the purpose for which it was produced, of calling to mind the happy incidents of our high school days which we wish ever to keep fresh in memory. May we express the sincere hope that in future days, as we attain the objectives we have set for ourselves in life, our Meta may help us to retain in mind and memory a happy recollection of the faces, the friends and the occasions of our high school days.
