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.
