P. H. S. MET A Twenty- five LEO J. DONAHUE Every cloud has a silver lining.” P. H. S. Revue Strand Night All of Leo’s clouds must have a silver lining if we can judge by his sunny dis- position. “Leo” with his keen sense of humor and frolicsome nature, has long provided us with considerable amusement. His excellent disposition and quick wit are sure to be instrumental in his success. JOSEPH L. DOOLING Perseverance eeps honour bright.” P. H. S. Revue Meta Staff Debating Club Not tranquil, not boisterous; not se- rious, but not light-hearted; not zealous, but not unheeding; not constant, but not frivilous; — in fact “Joe” is the happy me- dium tacitly desired by all of us. With balanced qualities like these we cannot but feel confident that success will be his. DORIS G. DORGAN We only see .in a life-time a dozen faces mar ed with the peace of a contented spirit.” Science Club Woman’s Club Red Cross Carefree, happy and a true friend! Thus may we truly characterize our little Doris. How well we can appreciate a person who sees only the bright side of problems! For this reason we shall miss Doris. We predict a happy future for her, a future which she richly deserves.

MET A P. H. S. T wenty-four iMWmi SOPHIE A. DANDES “The silent woman is the rarest gem.’’ Class Basketball Science Club Sophie has proved to be a faithful and an ardent student during her four years with us. She is very modest and shy, but we are confident that regardless of her retiring manner she will be successful in anything she undertakes. PENELOPE H. DeCOULOS “Good dispositions win good friends.” Glee Club Science Club In Penelope we have found during our High School course, a companion, possess- ing a good disposition and a pleasing per- sonality. Although of a seemingly quiet nature, to her friends she has often proved co be the life of the party. We are hoping that our path will often cross hers when we leave P. H. S. EILEEN M. DESMOND A companion that is cheerful — is worth gold.” Science Club It is an impossibility to be gloomy while cheerful “Dessie” is in your midst. Her pleasant company, ready wit, good nature and jollity have certainly added im- measurable brightness to our school life. The host of friends that her cheery dispo- sition has won for her wish her every success.

T wentysix MET A P. H. S. LILLIAN J. DOWDELL “Disarm misfortune with a grin.” Glee Club Science Club Traffic Officer Spanish Club Class Basketball Introducing “Lil,” our ever smiling classmate. Her witty remarks and jovial smile will always remain in our mem ' ory of high school days. “You Hit The Spot”, “Lil”! May you succeed in all you undertake! You certainly deserve the best. LILLIAN A. DOYLE “ Ambition has no rest.” Meta Staff P. H. S. Revue Junior Class Secretary Senior Class Secretary One of the most charming and popular secretaries that Peabody High has ever had is portrayed in our own “Lil”. Her jolly disposition, her nonchalant manner, her sociability have won for her the af- fections of all her classmates. Is it any wonder that we’re all going to miss this popular young lady? 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!
