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.

We wish you all the luck in the world, Barbara. 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.

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.
