P. H. S. MET A Twenty-one ARLENE B. COOKE “Happy as the day is long, and sometimes much happier.” Arlene is synonymous with good nature. When we have mentioned her very exceh lent disposition and her cheery manner we have but begun to tell you of the qualities that have made her popular among her classmates.

S,., Revue Girls ' Basketball Woman’s Club Lydia”, as we all know, is a person who has many interests.

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. Friendship, fortune, felicity, are only some of her acquirements. Radcliffe is to be the happy destination of “Dot’s” brilliancy and graciousness.

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. Although Ruth is one of the smallest members of our class she has a big heart which is full of understanding as well as cheerfulness. Her outstanding character- istics are activeness and alertness. We all wish her the best of success for the future.

T wentytwo MET A P. H. S. RODERICK L. CORBETT “To be or not to be, that is the question! “Rod” has been rather quiet in his years with us. But this smiling son of ’36 hae been working diligently to the end that in future days we will not be speaking of his retiring nature but of the worthwhile achievements that will be his. 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. We all have enjoyed the companionship of this miss whose sunny disposition will always be one of our happy memories.
