We leave the halls of our Alma Mater; we say “fare- well” to teachers, classmates, and friends to face life’s joys and sorrows — alone. As we embark, upon careers that will separate us from the wise guid- ance we have known for the past four years, let us continue upward, firm in the path of right, always mindful of the fact that what we do in life will reflect for good or evil on the fair name of Alma Mater. Our four years at Peabody High present memories that will long be cherished. In later years, when we are enjoying whatever life affords us, we should derive no little pleasure by glancing through this Meta, recognizing as we go, the familiar faces of former classmates beaming with youthful hope and inspiration. We are mindful of the many defects of this little volume, yet we are hopeful that any minor errors of omission of commission will be overlooked by our indulgent readers. The very choicest of our time and talent have been given to the editing of the Year Book. We are hopeful that our 1939 Meta will ser ve to perpetuate the most pleasant memories of our four years in High School. ALMA MATER CLASS ODE Alma Mater, listen Mother, As our voices ring; Class of thirty-nine salutes you, Our farewell we sing. Faithful, loyal, firm, and true, Ever we shall be; And until the ages part us, We’ll be true to thee. Alma Mater, though we leave you, In our hearts remain Tender thoughts of years together, Years spent not in vain; Grateful hearts to you we bi’ing, As we bid farewell; Alma Mater, listen Mother, Hail! All hail! Farewell. Words written by Kathleen Marie McCarthy, ’39 Education j debt due from present to f ature OUR FACULTY FRIENDS SUPERINTENDENT, WILLIAM A. WELCH PRINCIPAL, ARTHUR J.

BARRY OUR PRIN6IPAL It would require volumes to express completely our feel- ings towards Mr. Barry. During the past four years, when we were struggling with the many perplexing problems which confront the high school youth of today, Mr. Barry was ever present, aiding us immeasurably in our efforts to prepare ourselves for the years that lie ahead. Through his wise counsel and kindly encouragement, we have escaped the perils of life’s ravines, the pitfalls of life’s woodlands. His genial smile and his characteristic understanding of our juvenile complexes will always be uppermost in our minds. Mr. Barry has ever been our true friend, and as we leave his guardianship, we find ourselves heavily indebted to him. We shall always reserve a place for him in our affections and in our memories. Twelve META P. II. S. BERNICE ABRAMS “Sweeter than the Rose.’’ GIRLS - BASKETBALL STRAND NIGHT GLEE CLUB PRESIDENT, GEOGRAPHY CLUB Vivacious and attractive, “Bernie” has ever been a “jolly good fellow” to all of us. A diligent worker and a good student, she finds profitable em- ployment for what others would call their “idle moments.” We need not have recourse to the horoscope to pre- dict that her future will be crowned with successs. ERNEST A. ADAMOPOULAS “Everything comes to him who waits.” SPANISH CLUB SCIENCE CLUB “Ernie” is another one of our many silent seniors. He has very little to say most of the time, but when the moment comes to do otherwise, he speaks with great ability and frank- ness. Among his own friends he is a jovial individual and makes many bright remarks that cause many smiles. We’ll certainly miss his flashy smile and quiet personality. CHRIST E. ANDRIANOPOLUS “It is tfood to live and learn.” SPANISH CLUB VARSITY BASEBALL “Chris,” quiet and reserved at all times, is a boy of many interests, as shown by his participation in Spanish Club and on the baseball diamond. We expect much from this steady and con- scientious worker in the years that lie ahead. P. H. S. META Thirteen ANASTASIA B. ARADAS It s nice to be natural when you’re naturally nice.” SPANISH CLUB SCIENCE CLUB Dont let anyone tell you “Ann” is as quiet as she appears in the class- room. She has that shy, reticent man- ner, but there is plenty of good humor always just beneath the surface. An excellent student, a good pal, a true friend, is there need to say more? BESSIE ASSIMINAS ‘‘Good humor is one of the best articles of dress.” SPANISH CLUB The good nature and friendliness of “Bess” have helped materially in win- ning the hearts of her classmates. Her faithfulness has held the esteem of her friends. She has worked ardently at- tempting to absorb as much as pos- sible. With her character, we are cer- tain that she will meet with success in life. JAMES C. BALTAS “As neat as a pin.” VARSITY FOOTBALL SCIENCE CLUB GLEE CLUB VARSITY BASKETBALL SPANISH CLUB TRACK As you can see, this likeable fellow is very active in social and athletic circles. He is a quiet, very smart type of fellow, whom everybody knows and likes. His wavy, well-combed hair is an outstanding asset of this well- dressed, well-groomed student. See you in the movies, “Jimmie.” Fourteen META P. II. S. MIRIAM BARR Sincerity (rives wimrs to power.” META STAFF HEALTH CLUB Though of a quiet nature, “Mimi” is far from shy. Remember the time she wore her hair up ? She is a worthy friend and a jovial companion. Always willing to lend a helping hand, “Mimi” has surrounded herself with many loyal friends. With a charming per- sonality like hers, how can Lady Luck pass her by! VIRGINIA L. BATCHELDER ■‘She ' ll (ret by with a twinkle in her eye.” SPANISH CLUB LUNCH COUNTER WOMAN S CLUB RED CROSS HEALTH CLUB OFFICE GIRL “Ginna” may be best characterized as a lively girl, full of vim, vigor and vitality. Her cheerful smile has gained for her innumerable friends. She has been very active in a number of clubs and has contributed largely to their success. JACQUELINE BATEMAN “A peaceful mind is a source of content.” SPANISH CLUB Through our four years at Peabody High, “Jacky” has gone her quiet way pausing only to lend her talents where and when they were needed. Her help- ful manner has aided many along the road of education. The class of ’39 will never forget her amiable ways. P. H. S. META Fifteen AINO BERG ‘■Thy modesty a candle to thy merit.” With her enviable scholastic record and her unobtrusive manner, Aino should and definitely will reach the highest pinnacle of success. Aino, we admit, is modest and reticent, but we expect to hear good things from her in the future. It’s a girl like Aino of whom our High School may be justly proud. PAUL BETTER “You will be what you will to be.” CAMERA CLUB OBSERVER STAFF Paul is a ready and hearty worker. His main interests are in the sciences, yet he is not a “slouch” in any subject. He is well known throughout the class for his occasional puns. May success be the guardian of your future, Paul. JOHN BEZEMES An athlete, a scholar, and a gentleman.” SENIOR CLASS EXECUTIVE VARSITY FOOTBALL VARSITY BASEBALL VARSITY BASKETBALL GLEE CLUB OBSERVER STAFF “Nanny’s” outstanding feats on the gridiron, diamond and the basketball court will be carved in the memory of all who saw him in action. His effi- ciency and ability in the classroom matched his skill in athletics. A great lad with a great future! 1 KARL R. BISSON “Good humor and many friends go hand in hand.” SPANISH CLUB Cover up that shock of red hair that dazzles us so that we can see who is underneath. Well, I might have known. It’s Karl, come to say good- bye after four years of friendship. We sincerely hope that it is not really good-bye, but just “au revoir,” Karl. ERNEST T. BLAIR “Add ‘pep’ and vigor together and you have ‘Ernie.’ ” VARSITY FOOTBALL STRAND NIGHT JUNIOR CLASS PRESIDENT TRACK If “Ernie” has a serious side to his disposition we have never seen it. His athletic ability has been shown to great advantage during his school years. To you, “Ernie,” we wish noth- ing but the best of everything in whatever you do. SALVATRICE M. BONOMO “Her words are few, but oh, so sweet ' SPANISH CLUB No introduction to “Sally” is neces- sary, for her beaming smile and pleasing personality have won her many friends during the past four years. Everyone of us regrets seeing her leave our midst. In all sincerity we wish her success and happiness for the future. P. H. S. META Seventeen RITA M. BOWES CHRISTOPHER P. BRADY “She possessed an imp or two ; What she ' d do next — no one knew.” SPANISH CLUB JUNIOR RED CROSS Who is that dashing little lassie whose face is lighted up by a tanta- lizing smile? Why, it ; s our own little Rita brightening up the school conn- dors with her witty conversation and dynamic personality. We of the senior class believe that her vivacity and joviality will bring her success. “Happy as the day is long.” VARSITY BASEBALL VARSITY FOOTBALL VARSITY BASKETBALL CLASS OFFICER 1939 GOLF TEAM GLEE CLUB META STAFF TRACK On the football field, the basketball court, the baseball diamond — little does it matter to “Chris” what it is, because he excels in all sports. His sincerity and earnestness have left him with no enemies and will make him successful in the business world of tomorrow. ROSEMARY A. BRAWLEY “Versatility radiates about her.” HONOR STUDENT GIRLS ' BASKETBALL META STAFF CLASS OFFICER 1939 WOMAN ' S CLUB SPANISH CLUB OFFICER 1938 “Romey,” the girl with the big dimpled smile, will always be remem- bered by her classmates for her per- sonality and wit. Although she is always ready for fun, she has been an honor pupil through her four years. The best of luck to “Romey” and we know she will mean as much to her business associates as she does to us. Eighteen M E T A P. II. S. FRANCES M. BREARE “It seems her lot to help others.” SPANISH CLUB We hear that Frances is going to do her best to be anothe r Florence Night- ingale. Success is in store for her. As we know her to be a kind and un- selfish young lady, we are not sur- prised that she chose a vocation in which she will continually be doing good. FREDERICK T. BURKE Where there’s music there can be no harm.” BAND ORCHESTRA “Freddie” has always evinced inter- est in “everything under the sun.” Nothing has ever been too small or too large for him to do. Courteous, self-confident, “Freddie” is a true gen- tleman. He has always worked for the advancement of the band and orchestra with which he has been as- sociated during all his High School years. Good luck, “Freddie.’ WALTER E. BURKE “A good reputation is a fair estate.” GLEE CLUB OPERETTA Here is a fellow whom everybody likes. He’s full of pep, wit, and humor. His personality is his out- standing attribute. However, he is a good student, and what’s more, his social life is even better. Although he’s very modest, his success as a socialite is very well known. P. II. s. . META Nineteen CORNELIUS J. CALLAHAN “To be or not tc be, “That is the question.’ We are of the sound opinion that the “J” in “Connie’s” middle name stands for joviality, for what could be more in accordance with his character. We will always remember your wide grin and even disposition, “Connie.” May they gain as many friends in the future as they have in the past. HERMAN W. CAPINSKI “This way to have your wrist dislocated.” VARSITY FOOTBALL SPANISH CLUB VARSITY BASKETBALL GLEE CLUB “Horse,” the idol of P. H. S., is claimed to be a Number I man on the gridiron. Always cheery and pleasant, and willing to have fun with everyone, “Horse” will be remembered as one of the most popular members of our class. We hope that the same success will always crown his efforts in whatever walk of life. NATALIE T. CAPINSKY “A light heart lives long.” SPANISH CLUB LUNCH COUNTER GLEE CLUB JUNIOR RED CROSS “Nat” possesses one of the best per- sonalities in the world. Everyone knows her and likes her. That cheery smile “Nat” g-ives everybody helps to insure her popularity. The future looks bright for “Nat” and without doubt we will hear of gTeat deeds accomplished by her. Twenty META P. II . S. EILEEN M. CASSIDY A sweet girl with a sweet manner.” DRAMATIC GUILD WOMAN ' S CLUB LITTLE JIMMIE JONES” WEDDING SPELLS” Clever, capable, comely — these are a few of the epithets applied to our Eileen. Her good nature and charm- ing way of winning friends are sure to aid her in later years. We can see success smiling at you in the near future, Eileen. May you be happy in your career as a teacher. ELENORA A. CEDERGREN “Better late than never.” Being good seems to be one of Elenora’s hobbies, but those who are her friends (she has an army) know she is loving and gay. She always has a cheery word and a smile for us along the corridor. May good luck always be with her. KATHERINE M. CHENERY ‘‘Dimpled cheeks, a winning smile. Who can resist this maiden ' s guile.” GIRLS ' BASKETBALL WOMAN ' S CLUB HEALTH CLUB SCIENCE CLUB We shall always remember “Kay,” the little girl with the big smile. She has been a cheery and congenial per- son to know and we hope that our separation from her at the end of our High School days will not be a per- manent one. P. H. S. META Twenty-one ROBERT P. CHENERY “Much fruit of sense is often found beneath silence.” VARSITY BASKETBALL SPANISH CLUB “Bob” is a very quiet fellow. Never- theless, he has excelled in the class- room as well as on the basketball court. We, his friends, have enjoyed his polite, cheerful companionship and commend him to his future associates with our sincere best wishes. JOHN F. P. CLAFFEY “My art is my hobby.” VARSITY PASEBALL OBSERVER STAFF META STAFF JUNIOR CLASS TREASURER The Class of ’39 takes pleasure in presenting “Johnnie” Claff ey, a good- natured young man who always looks at the brighter side of things. With his perpetual smile and cheerful dis- position he makes friends of all those whom he meets. You’ll be missed when you leave, John. JAMES J. COFFEY “Happy go lucky.” VARSITY FOOTBALL GLEE CLUB JUNIOR EXECUTIVE CAMERA CLUB “Jimmy” is a husky active fellow, who is a rather likeable chap. He played tackle for the Varsity last year, and was fairly good at it. His atti- tude, that the world is his “oyster,” makes him a fun-loving, carefree fel- low. If he keeps this spirit, he’ll surely succeed. Twenty-two META P. H. S. WILLIAM P. COOK ‘ ' There are smiles that make us happy.” TRACK Everyone knows Bill, and we all know him for his gay manner and prominent smile. He has been a mem- ber of the track team and proved his worth to the Alma Mater. Jolly and gay he has brought much joy to us. We will miss you Bill, and wish you success in your coming venture in world affairs. KATHERINE COSTAS “Disarm fortune with a smile.” SPANISH CLUB A cheery smile and a happy disposi- tion ably describe “Kitty.” In the years that we have known her she has gained the friendship of everyone with whom she has come in contact. We all wish her the best of success in the future years. HARVEY R. COURT, JR. “Smart when he wants to be. But, Oh how mischievous !” BAND META STAFF TRACK In Harvey’s good natured person we find no end of witty remarks and mischievous pranks and oh, how many times he has nonchalantly convinced the teacher that he was practically not in the room when this or that hap- pened. Anyway, Harvey, we wish you all the success in the world. P. II. s. META Twenty-three OLA G. CROWELL “Good things come in small packages.” SPANISH CLUB JUNIOR RED CROSS Ola’s active work in the Junior Red Cross has gained for her the admira- tion of the entire student body. Under her direction the organization has de- veloped into a most effective charit- able society. The school will long re- member Ola and her tireless efforts to help others. HORACE J. DABRIEO, JR. “A friend gained is a trouble lost.” We, who have known “Buddy” during his four years together, have not at- tended school for naught. His friend- liness and good companionship have helped the years pass swiftly, even more swiftly than we might wish. But who could fail to be affected by Buddy’s lively personality? AGNES M. DeFREITAS “Efficiency is the keynote of success.” SPANISH CLUB META STAFF JUNIOR RED CROSS The class is impressed with wonder and amazement at the remarkable commercial efficiency of Agnes. She has been our happy companion and has alleviated the burden of the Observer and Meta Staffs by helping- in the preparation of the material for the printer. We, your classmates, wish for your future success. Twenty-four M ETA P. II. S. DOROTHY J. DESMOND “The two rarest senses are: Goood Sense and a Sense of Humor.” DEBATING CLUB BATON SQUAD SPANISH CLUB META STAFF WOMAN ' S CLUB JUNIOR RED CROSS It does seem strange that Dot” should be known by the cognomen of “Dizzy” for as you know, thei-e is nothing at all dizzy about her. But the name was naturally evolved from her surname and by this appellation she is known to all. Her g ' ood humor and general “get-along-ability” have won us all, and our fondest good wishes follow her after she graduates. EDWARD F. DOLAN “A liffht heart lives long:.” GLEE CLUB OPERETTA “Eddie” and his cheery smile are always together. His “happy-go- lucky” disposition has won him high esteem in the hearts of fellow students.

DONLON “Always the same — smiling:.” HEALTH CLUB META STAFF JUNIOR RED CROSS Mary has no nickname, but if she had one, it would be “Merry.” She is, by nature, gay and ever-smiling, and this undoubtedly helped her to win friends and influence people. Mary would never consciously pass anyone, without passing on her cheer- fulness by a radiant smile. AMALIA M. DRACO “Silence is deep as eternity.” Although Amalia has not partici- pated in many school activities, she has been a friend to us all. However, she can take hard work in lumps without a murmur. Judging by her attitude towards her studies, we feel certain that Amalia will succeed. MARIAN L. DREW “Ready in heart, ready in hand.” SCIENCE CLUB GLEE CLUB Marian is not talkative, but she is one who is lucky to possess a cheerful disposition and a winning personality. Making friends is one of her admir- able characteristics.

DRISCOLL ROSEMARIE P. DUMAS JOHN R. DUNN “He’s a jolly good fellow.” A pleasant, likeable fellow, “Jake” has always been one of our favoi’ites. Wherever he is, there is mischief in some form.

We’ll miss you, “Jake.” Good luck. “Dancing feet, sparkling eyes.” Do you know who this is ? Why, of course, it’s Rosemarie. She has laughed and danced her way into our hearts with her enchanting smile and charming humor. A lover of good times, as well as a good student, Rosemarie will reap the profit of suc- cess in later life. “A calm star with constant will.” Let me present to you a well known member of our class of ’39, John Dunn. “Will you say a few words, John?” “No,” we thought so.

DYNAN Determination will bring success.” META STAFF WOMAN ' S CLUB HONOR STUDENT Of course you all know Karlyne. During- her four years with us, she was constantly an honor student.

EARLE “He is more nice than wise.” VARSITY FOOTBALL TRACK This tall, cheerful, witty young man is a very active young man. Wher- ever there is any excitement, you’ll see him.

FOULKES “Foo and the world will Foo with you.” “B” SQUAB STRAND NIGHT If you have ever been accosted in the corridors with a hearty “foo,” you know why the above quotation is fitting to “Red” Foulkes. This cheery greeting, coupled with a mop of red hair and a friendly grin, form a com- bination that has completely won our hearts. We advance every wish that the combination will be just as effec- tive in later years and hope Donald will “foo” forever. PEARL FREEDMAN “A good tongue has seldom need to Leg attention.” DEBATING CLUB Her first name suggests her person- ality better than words.

We wish an early success to him. Thirty-six META P. II. S. AMY CRAYTON “Friendship is a sheltering tree.” SPANISH CLUB Shy, modest, retiring-, seems to be the adjectives which best describe this charming daughter of ’39.

GULLIFORD “Good nature is the rarest of all gifts.” OFFICE GIRL RED CROSS Cheerful, generous, vivacious, good- natured, and fun-loving are but a few of the adjectives that might be ap- plied to petite Ruth.

GOKAS So careful of the type she seems.” SPANISH CLUB This quiet lass is a Commercial student, and, like many of them, has distinguished herself.

GOULD “Energy is w hat makes the world go round.” VARSITY BASEBALL “Dick” is considered by all to be a very quiet lad, but appearances are deceiving. After you know “Dick” you will probably consider him any- thing but shy.

RABCHENUK With a twinkle in her eye, she passes by.” SCIENCE CLUB CAMERA CLUB GLEE CLUB Olga is a girl who has an excellent disposition and a magnetic person- ality.

RIPLEY “Diligence is the mother of good fortune.” OBSERVER STAFF META STAFF BAND HONOR STUDENT “Rip” is a studious, conscientious and willing; worker in his studies, traveling surely towards an ultimate goal — success.

ROLTSCH “To pour ourselves out is nature ; to absorb what is told is culture.” GIRLS ' BASKETBALL HONOR STUDENT OBSERVER STAFF CHEER LEADER META STAFF “Terry” is blessed with a shining disposition and an over-alert mind.

Best wishes, Agnes, in the life ahead of y ou. HELEN M. SAWITSKY “A smile is ever worth the while.” SPANISH CLUB LUNCH COUNTER We have basked in the sunshine of Helen’s smile for four years and now we shall certainly miss her. But we should be thankful for her amiable companionship for even that short time. May “Lady Luck” smile upon this charming daughter of ’39. ANNA SCLAVOUNOS “To be amiable certainly is a virtue.” LUNCH COUNTER JUNIOR RED CROSS SCIENCE CLUB Although Anna hasn’t taken a very conspicuous part in all our school activities, she is very popular among her friends. Her cheery smile and sunny disposition have brightened many dull moments. Her scholastic ability is sure to bring her success in her chosen career. Seventy META P. H. S. FRANCES Y. SEMAS LEO A. SHAPIRO VERA SHAW “Silence oft made a man famous.” SPANISH CLUB Frances is another one of our quiet, retiring- classmates. Although she hasn’t taken a very conspicuous part in our school activities, she is very popular among her friends. What- ever Frances is planning to do in the future years, her classmates wish her luck, happiness, and success. “True merit is like a river; the deeper it is, the less noise it makes.’’ SPANISH CLUB BAND Leo is a sensible chap who is gradu- ating with an enviable scholastic record. Those who know him well be- lieve that his chances of success are as good as those of any other in the class. How could he fail with so many good wishes from us. “She was made for happy thoughts. For playful wit and laughter.” Vera is none other than that gay member of the senior class with the dancing eyes and flashing smile. She is the possessor of a care-free heart and her humor has served to brighten many a dull moment. May her future be as radiant and cheerful as Im- personality. P. H. S. META Seventy-one ROBERT L. SHERRY CHARLES N. SIDERIS LAWRENCE J. SILVA “Success could be his middle name.” “Bob’ has not participated in a large number of school activities, but withal he has been most active in building friendships. Be he doctor, lawyer or teacher “Bob” will, we are confident, win a high place for himself in the years to come. “What sweet delight a quiet life affords?” SPANISH CLUB Quiet and modest, Charles makes scarcely a sound wherever he goes. However, he is always sociable and ready to help others. We do not know what Charles is going to do after graduation but whatever he under- takes we feel sure he will win success. Good humor is the health of the soul.” SPANISH CLUB Under the list of assets of our class should come the name of Lawrence Silva. The quiet lad with the wide grin was always willing to help in making the Class of ’39 a success. May our best wishes go with him. Seventy-two M ETA P. H. S. IRENE T. SIMAS “A smile is worth a hundred groans in any market.” SPANISH CLUB DRAMATIC GUILD GLEE CLUB OPERETTA RECORDING SEC., JUNIOR RED CROSS META STAFF One glance at that list of activities asserts that Irene was ambitious. And now a glance at Irene herself — a twinkling eye, a coy smile and there you have her. That smile has won her many friends. May it (coupled with ambition and skill) win her complete success in later life! CLARA G. SIRONI “While the pot boils friendship blooms.” JUNIOR RED CROSS, TREASURER SPANISH CLUB META STAFF Cheerfulness, friendship, vivacity, all these adjectives and many more symbolize this up-and-coming senior from 105. And Clara has another characteristic, her careful manage- ment of financial affairs. For if she weren’t capable, she would hardly have held that important position as treasurer of our philanthropic club — The Junior Red Cross. GEORGIA SKARMOS “A cheerful look makes a dish a feast.” SPANISH CLUB Georgia attracts our attention with her lovely smile and friendly dispo- sition. She was always interested in her classmates and was ever ready to lend assistance whenever possible. Georgia, we hope life gives you what you have given to others: love, happy comradeship, and encouragement. P. H. S, META Seventy-three FRANK SPELIOTIS “Good things come in small packages.” GEOGRAPHY CLUB Frank is what you might call a pepper-box. He always has something to say, no matter what the occasion may be. He is a very likeable chap, due to the fact that he is always a good sport and regular fellow. Frank intends to continue in his studies at Tufts College where he will take up engineering. PETER J. SPELIOTIS “That which is well done is twice done.” SPANISH CLUB GLEE CLUB Although unobtrusive and diffident by nature, Peter has many friends among us who recognize that his mod- esty is but a background for a trust- worthy character. To you, Pete, we extend our best wishes for success in whatever field you may choose to follow. FRANCES J. STANFORD There is no instinct like that of the heart.” It is the modest and amiable char- acter of Frances that accounts for her wide circle of friends. In class she attempted with earnestness to accom- plish satisfactorily the requirements of her Commercial course. Frances, your classmates are confident that whatever you decide to undertake, you will meet with unusual success. Seventy-four META P. H. S. HELEN M. STANTON “She has a smile for every friend, And for every smile a friend.’ SPANISH CLUB JUNIOR RED CROSS That little blonde-haired, smiling girl you see running about the corri- dors before school, is Helen. She is a great favorite among her Commercial classmates because of her cheery sin- cerity. We feel confident that this same sunny nature will be one of her greatest assets in the business world she is about to enter. RALPH T. ST. PAUL “All in a fellow to be liked.” VARSITY FOOTBALL DRAMATIC GUILD SPANISH CLUB This lad’s contagious personality has certainly brightened many a dull classroom. “Saint” (he doesn’t live up to this name) is a tall, friendy, fun- loving boy with the ability to talk anyone out of anything or vice-versa. A toast to your success Ralph, and we’ll all drink to it. REGINA STUDZINSKY “Her voice is sweet as the nightingale.” SPANISH CLUB GLEE CLUB OPERETTA “Reggi” is one of the most talented and most dependable of our class- mates. She has sung her way into our hearts by her appearances in the operetta and class assemblies. When- ever and wherever she could be useful we have always found her equal to whatever tasks might be hers. P. H. S. META Seventy-five WILLIAM STUDZINSKY “Simple in manner like all great men.” VARSITY BASEBALL GLEE CLUB VARSITY BASKETBALL OPERETTA Although “Jones” is very modest and doesn’t like to mention his finer points, his pitching ability he pos- sesses will soon find him a place in the major , league. “Jones” is big blonde and a friend to every member of the class. Here’s hoping we’ll be reading great things of you in the future, “Bill.” HENRY F. SULLIVAN “Good things come in small packages.” SPANISH CLUB Just to prove the truth of the above quotation, we introduce, with no in- considerable pride, our own freckle- faced “Sully.” We, his classmates and friends, wish him the very best of luck and hope that he will be success- ful in all that he undertakes. ROBERT V. SULLIVAN “Cheerfulness is the offshoot of goodness.’ “Bob” has g ' iven most of us a great deal of cheer with his ready wit and happy smile. When we have felt low, “Bob” has always been ready to cheer us, when examinations were due. “Bob’s” laughter has often broken the tension. “Bob” has our best wishes for his success. Seventy-six META P. H. S. BETSY C. SWAIN “Of very gentle heart and of good conscience.” SCIENCE CLUB WOMAN ' S CLUB GLEE CLUB We find in Betsy every quality of an enjoyable companion and a true friend. With her keen sense of humor and her joyous enthusiasm for her undertakings, she may be sure of hap- piness through her entire life. Good luck, Betsy. WILLIS E. SWALGEN “Humor is the pensiveness of wit.” SCIENCE CLUB SPANISH CLUB Willis with his keen sense of humor and frolicsome spirit, has long pro- vided us with considerable amusement. In spite of his easy going nature he is capable of applying himself when the case requires. We shall always remember the funny classroom scenes in which Willis has played a part. JOHN J. SWEENEY “To the victor belongs the spoils.” VARSITY BASEBALL VARSITY FOOTBALL We all know “Jack” for his ability and sportsmanship as a football and baseball player, and for his quiet and unassuming manner as a gentleman.

META Seventy-seven HELEN TOLIOS None but the livinpr soul is fit for the study of art.” BATON SQUAD JUNIOR RED CROSS Helen is an artist with an excep- tional talent for painting excellent posters. She has ever generously lent her services to the success of class activities by her clever and novel paintings. Here’s luck, Helen, and may you receive the best that life can offer. CHRISANTHY G. TRANOS “Manners often make fortunes.” “Chris” throughout her High School career has shown a steadfastness of purpose that augurs well for her future. A very friendly manner and a pleasing way that this miss of ’39 pos- sesses, suggest in no uncertain terms that in the years to come she will win the success that she so richly de- serves. Best wishes, “Chris!” HERMAN G. TUTTLE I dare do all that may become a man.” SPANISH CLUB “Tut” is one of the most genial, likeable chaps in the class. His big, easy-going frame, and ready smile are familiar to all. We leave him, confi- dent that his future will be that which awaits a gentleman. He carries with him the hearty good wishes of all his classmates. Seventy-eight META P. H. S. JOSEPH M. TYNDALL “Give thy thoughts no tongue.” BAND SCIENCE CLUB Gifted with an easy going disposi- tion, “Joe” is one of the most popular classmates. Although we did not hear much from him during his High School course, he was always ready to lend assistance in any class activity. With his ambition we are sure he will go far in whatever profession he follows. EVA M. VAUTOUR “Always happy, always gay.” SPANISH CLUB ART CLUB META STAFF Eva is a girl who enjoys a deserved popularity with her classmates and one who is both studious and fun- loving. She is also a high ranking Commercial student and her favorite subject is shorthand. All who have known her will miss the cheerful de- votion and friendship which she has so freely given. NORA VAUTOUR “Tho study of art is the study of the living soul.” SPANISH CLUB LUNCH COUNTER We’ll remember Nora in the future for her excellent work in art. She wields the paint brush like a master. She has always been co-operative and willing to assist in any activity of the class. Nora has not made up her mind as to what school she will attend to continue her studies, but we wish her the best of luck in the future. P. H. S. META Seventy-nine LORETTA J. VEROCHI FRANK VISTORINO MARY VORGEAS Petite, but sweet. STRAND NIGHT BATON SQUAD Loretta, known to her closer friends as “Fluff,” is one of the quieter mem- bers of the Class of ’39, but her charming 1 personality has won many friends for her. We sincerely hope that she reaches the heights of happi- ness and prosperity in the future. “A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of learning. SPANISH CLUB Though of a very quiet disposition, Frank possesses a pleasant and happy manner. His personality is pleasing and his friends are many. With his good nature, patience and persever- ance, we feel quite assured that he will overcome all obstacles in reaching the top of the ladder of success. Cheering, laughing, moving on. GIRLS ' BASKETBALL SPANISH CLUB A lively vivacious spirit, Mary has ever been a favorite among her class- mates. Her winning ways and good disposition attract for her many loyal friends. Wherever you go and what- ever you do Mary, your classmates of P. H. S. wish you much luck. Eighty META P. H. S. MILTIADES VORGEAS “They conquer who believe they can.” VARSITY FOOTBALL “Milt,” to some of his classmates, is a man of few words, but to the many friends he has acquired both in school and in other circles, he is very pleasant company. His determination to “be prepared” has won him the ad- miration of the Class of ’39. Success, “Milt.” MARY H. WALKOVICH A pal to the very end.” GIRLS’ BASKETBALL GLEE CLUB SPANISH CLUB, PRESIDENT OPERETTA CHEER LEADER LUNCH COUNTER “Walkie,” it seems, is everybody’s friend. She has taken an active part in just about everything at school, but will long be remembered as a cheer leader. It is easy to see that anything that Mary may undertake in the future will be met with success by her. MARTIN J. WALSH “Silence is as great an art as speech.” META STAFF BAND Although Martin has allowed him- self to be “seen, not heard” his quiet effoi ' ts nevertheless have been greatly appreciated by all. His school work has always shown careful preparation, from which fact we may safely con- clude that he will win a high place for himself in the world. P. H. S. META Eighty-one FRANK L. WATERS “A cheerful look makes a dish a feast.” Frank always wears a smile and it seems that with it, he has won many friends. Frank also has a jolly per- sonality; he can take a joke as well as tell one. We all know that with his cheery smile and jolly personality, Frank will soon he perched on the top rung of the ladder of success. FLORENCE U. WEST “Beauty is an introduction, to success.” SPANISH CLUB BATON SQUAD The princess in a medieval fairy tale may have been described as beautiful, but “Flossie” can easily put that prin- cess to shame. Words are impossible to describe her good looks and unless you have had the pleasure of seeing her in person you will never be able to appreciate her beauty. Aviation is the profession toward which “Flossie” is bent. Good luck, “Flossie.” GLORIA Z. WILCHINSKI “He who sings drives away sorrows.” GLEE CLUB STRAND NIGHT OPERETTA LUNCH COUNTER On casual observance, one would say that Gloria is a quiet and demure young lady. But we know our Gloria! Always ready with some witty re- mark, she puts everyone about her in a gay mood. However, Gloria has one talent of which we are quite proud. She sings — sweetly! Eighty-two META P. H. S. ALICE YAMCHUK “Her looks were like a flower in May, Her smile was like a summer morn.” GIRLS’ BASKETBALL SPANISH CLUB CHEER LEADER A little bit of spice, a subtle sweet- ness, a sparkling smile blended to- gether gives you the recipe tor out Alice. She played an eager, spirited game of basketball while here, and those same qualities will spur her along the road to success. Our sincere wishes, Alice! BESSIE ZAKAS “A little body doth often harbor a great soul.” SPANISH CLUB BATON SQUAD PEP SQUAD CLUB Small and dark but full of life, Bessie has her own way of being “someone to remember.” Her baton twirling helped to make the squad a success and her lively, helpful manner made her a friend to all. THOMAS J. ALBERGHINI “Determination will bring success.” VARSITY FOOTBALL TRACK “Tommy” dislikes intensely to have any one praise him for his marvelous ability as a football player. However, because he is so far above average, it is only fitting that we pay him our little tribute. “Tommy” has great plans for his future and he will prob- ably reach his zenith in life at a very young- age. P. H. S. META Eighty-three ARTHUR L. CAIN “Let me but do my work from day to day.” Arthur is one of our classmates of a truly retiring nature who is con- tent to leave publicity to his more ambitious comrades of ’39. Although reserved and diffident by nature, he has a host of friends among us who realize that his modesty is but a back- ground for trustworthy character. Best wishes and success to you, Arthur! HAROLD EDELSTEIN “Words are for women ; actions, for men.” Harold, stocky individual, is well liked by those who know him. He’s very quiet, always busy, but he’s never too busy to offer a cheerful word to a friend. Whenever anyone desires help or a friend to talk to, he goes to Harold. Good luck and plenty of it, Harold. DONALD T. GILMORE “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” We know Don by his absence rather than by his presence. How friendly, kind, unobtrusive he is, cannot be realized until we miss him. His in- terest in girls is “nil” and his social life is a secret. We predict, however, that Don will go far in the “outside struggle.” Eighty-four META P. H. S. ALICE KUPPJANCE CHARLES LAPPAS ADELA NEKOROSKI “Modesty is the conscience of the body.’ HEALTH CLUB What would we do without this modest maiden who has a way about her that we all like and admire. Al- though she is not one to make herself known, we’ve enjoyed having Alice with us during our High School years and shall be sorry to say farewell to her. “Perseverance wins success.” SCIENCE CLUB If qualities of courage, confidence and perseverance have any bearing- on the futures of our classmates, we need have little fear for Charles in the yeai s that lie ahead. His objective, they tell us is Teachers’ College. Lucky pupils of the future! Best wishes, “Charlie.” “Speech is silver ; silence is golden.” We have enjoyed having Adela with us these last four years and will be sorry to lose her companionship. Al- though she has not entered the school activities, she has been a friend to us all. Best of luck in the future, Adela. P. H. S. META Eighty-five SARA WHITE “True worth is in being:, not in seeming.” SCIENCE CLUB Despite her characteristic quietness, ‘Sadye’s” gentleness and sincerity have helped her to gain the genuine admiration of her classmates. Her charming manner and ever present wit and good humor have brightened many otherwise dull occasions. May the business world greet “Sadye” with open arms. Eighty-six META P. H. S. BEATRYCE ABELL “Resolute in action, gentle in manner.” DRAMATIC GUILD LUNCH COUNTER META STAFF “LITTLE JIMMIE JONES” OBSERVER STAFF “Beaty,” a sweet but daring Iasi who always stands firm in her deci- sions has made hosts of friends dur- ing her High School career. We are confident that through her charming personality and pleasing conversation will come a richly deserved success. ROBERT E. DAVIDSON “In action faithful — in honor clear.” GLEE CLUB OPERETTA “Bob” has the habit of keeping very much to himself and it is almost im- possible to find what his likes and dis- likes are. “Bob” personifies the blonde, silent type who finds enjoy- ment in keeping his classmates guess- ing. But once you really know him, you are astounded ' upon discovering an all-round person with a marvelous sense of humor. THOMAS F. BROWN “As merry as the day is long.” CAMERA CLUB BAND Tom’s keen sense of humor has always been his distinguishing char- acteristic. Many of us have enjoyed his idea of “fun,’ and will always re- member him for it. We wish you suc- cess, Tom. BARTHOLOMEW B. ENDSLOW “Who makes use of the moment is a genius of prudence.” GOLF For those who have enjoyed the friendship and companionship of “Bud,” there will be countless happy associations to be remembered in the years to come. Of all of our class- mates, “Bud” is one whom we have always considered to be most deserv- ing of the good things in life. Best wishes for the future. ELEANOR A. CALLAHAN “A faithful friend is better than gold.” LUNCH COUNTER SPANISH CLUB HEALTH CLUB Eleanor was never a talkative per- son, yet she could not be considered one of the quietest members of our class. She will always be remembered by us as an ideal schoolmate. Turn as she may, all roads seem to lead to the Nurses’ Home. Lucky patients! MARY L. FENNELLY “My own thoughts are my companions.” SPANISH CLUB LUNCH COUNTER Mary is one of the retiring mem- bers of our class, for you never know when she is around. Her quiet smile has greeted us from behind the lunch counter and along the corridors dur- ing our High School days. May your future life be filled with joy and hap- piness, Mary. P. H. S. META Eighty-seven HAROLD L. FOWLER “Who makes use of the moment is a genius of Prudence.” STRAND NIGHT BAND ORCHESTRA A wide grin, a toss of blond hair, and “Chick” Fowler has arrived. He is ready to laugh at any joke, even on himself. If “Chick’ makes good in the future, as well as he did in our band, his life will be a great success. SPEROS KARABELLAS “Happy as the day is ion .” VARSITY BASEBALL VARSITY BASKETBALL VARSITY FOOTBALL GLEE CLUB Rumor has it that “Spike” has a hidden talent for singing. He is the “mind my own business” type and his quiet w-ay is one of his most admir- able qualities. His hobby apparently is reading “funnies books” in text book clothing! Best of luck, “Spike.” DOROTHY S. HOWARTH “Everything: that pretty is.” SPANISH CLUB Always jovial and willing to help in any undertaking, “Dot” has been a bright light in the firmament of the class of ’39. We are not certain of the immediate use to which she will put her talents, but we do not hesitate to predict that the employment of them will bring success. ARNOLD J. KAUPPINEN “To be or not to be: that is the question.” Serious when the occasion demands, but jolly and carefree at all other times, “Arnie” has had little difficulty in winning many friends for himself during his years at P. H. S. We are confidently expecting- to hear much more from this smiling son of ’39 in the years that are to come. ROBERT F. JACKSON “Cheering - , laughing, moving - on.” “Bob” is probably the most traveled person in our class. He has been in a good many of the forty-eight states, and Canada as well. He has attended school in many of them. We hope “Bob” has enjoyed Peabody High School as he has enjoyed no other. CHRIS LALIKOS “Men of few words are the best men.” SCIENCE CLUB SPANISH CLUB “Chris” is not of the talkative type, but that fact should not be taken into consideration when appraising the value of his presence in the classroom. Always ready with an answer, “Chris” has shown many a time his versatility. Good luck, “Chris.” Eighty-eight META P. H. S. MARY LANGAN “Eat, Drink, and Be Merry, for tomorrow we die.” AVIATION CLUB Laughter ringing in the corridor. A tall, smiling girl is the center of attraction. Everyone is her friend and she is everyone’s friend. She is the type that makes school life a trifle more interesting. Talking is her hobby which she practices consciously and unconsciously — Mai y, our jester and our friend. MARY R. NEVINS “A smile that charms ; a personality that engulfs.” Mary’s inborn graciousness and charming ways are indications that she will win and hold many friends in the years to come, for her cordial greeting and infectious smile have brightened many of our hearts. The business world will be richer for the coming of this smiling daughter of ’39. CLAIRE A. LIMAURO “Gentle of speech, beneficient of mind.” SPANISH CLUB LUNCH COUNTER CORRESPONDING SECRETARY OF JUNIOR RED CROSS Claire, a very magnetic member of our senior class, has been very active during her years here and what her school has lost, her employer will gain. We can always remember Cilaire by her jovial and sincei’e dis- position. We, your classmates, wish you the best of luck. E DWARD T. O’KEEFE “A contented heart is more valuable than gold.” VARSITY BASEBALL A pleasant, likeable fellow, is “Eddie,” and a favorite among all his classmates. His wit, jovial smile, and good-natured disposition will be help- ful to him in future years. We all ex- tend our heartiest wishes for success, “Eddie.” GRACE J. MELLO “Good humor is goodness and wisdom combined.” In Grace we find a sincere and pleasant nature that has won her numerous friends. She is always ready to help any of her friends and ac- quaintances to take an active interest in their affairs. Grace will be a suc- cess in whatever field she will choose for her career. EDITH M. PEDRANA “True merit is like a river: The deeper it is, the less noise it makes.” Edith is a quiet, yet not too serious lass from the “West End,” who will forever be remembered for her gentle and thoughtful manner. She is always considerate of others and it is for this reason we are confident that she will always have many friends. to E T A Eighty-nine P. H. g. LILLIAN PERNITCHI “Tiny in stature, but great in spirit.” SPANISH CLUB BATON SQUAD In her quiet little way, “Lillie” has won the hearts of many of her class- mates. Her good nature and charming way of winning friends has endeared her to all who know her. We earnest- ly hope that fortune will smile bright- ly upon this deserving young miss. HOWARD D. SMITH “Live and let live.” Howard is very seldom heard, but his teachers know that he is present by his ready answers to all questions addressed to him. Not talkative, not shy, “Howie” is a happy medium of the two types. One need not have a better friend than he. We feel that “Howie” will succeed in life. MARY REPCHINUK “Smile and style go hand in hand.” GIRLS’ BASKETBALL SPANISH CLUB Mary is one of the most attractive girls in our class. Her flair for wear- ing sport clothes makes her outstand- ing everywhere she goes. She is a quiet person, whose greeting is always a charming smile and a soft “Hi, there.” With her gracious manner, she should be very successful. MARY A. SULLIVAN “Her words are few but oh so sweet.” GIRLS’ BASKETBALL GLEE CLUB A smile with sincerity behind it is a wonderful trait of Mary’s. Although she has been in P. H. S. for less than a year, there are few members of the student body who do not know her and enjoy immensely being her friend. May the future contain all sunshine for you, Mary! EDWARD F. SKAHILL “Good nature is an element of success.” Who does not know our smiling happy-go-lucky “Ed?” Has anyone ever seen him without a smile on his face? No, and no one ever will, for that smile is essential to his person. We know that his pleasing personality and his even disposition will win him many friends. GEORGE TAVARES “The unspoken word never does harm.” SPANISH CLUB George is one of those resei ' ved in- dividuals who keep most of their thoughts to himself, but to his class- mates, he is an enjoyable companion. We do not worry, however, for we feel sure that our fondest wishes for his success will be l-ealized. Ninety M E PHILLIP D. TRASK “Happy am I, from care I’m free.” GLEE CLUB BAND CAMERA CLUB No matter where we roam we shall never forget “Phil.” His smile and cheery “hello” gained him many friends among his classmates and the faculty. The future for him will never be a cloud, for his smile will always let the sun shine through. CARL L. WETTERGREEN “Steadfast was his purpose and his friendship.” VARSITY FOOTBALL Desirous of becoming a man of achievement, Carl entered Peabody High with mighty intentions. Foot- ball offered the first field of conquest, and his gigantic frame was ever con- spiculously present in those ferocious inter-class games. What we have seen of Carl seems to be a sufficient guar- antee for a successful future. A P. H. S. ROSE M. VaJAMES “Silence is more elegant than words.” JUNIOR RED CROSS Rose with her slow smile and quiet dark eyes will linger long in our memories. Her friends are many, for her soft laugh and easy manner make all who know her, admire her. To some business man, Rose will prove herself an able assistant. PRISCILLA WILSON “Her smile was like a rainbow flashing from a misty sky.” STRAND NIGHT TRAFFIC SQUAD One of the more quiet members of our class, Priscilla possesses a kind, g’entle and cheerful nature that marked her through her yeai’s at school .

META One Hunched and Seven CLASS PROPHECY (With Malice Toward None) In recognition of the brilliant personages that evolved from the Class of ’39„ Mr. Cyrus Bigsum, a wealthy steel magnate, being of sound mind (sounder body) bequeathed to this illustrious group the welcome sum of one million dollars. Displaying once again the steadfast cooperation that eleven years before made them a stellar Senior Class, our many heroes and heroines reunited to devise a plan for disposing of their legacy. With his accustomed authority as class president, “Billy” Purcell, immediately dispatched a radio message to the four corners of the world to contact our adventur- ing classmates. Acknowledgements were received from various members who expressed a general desire to attend the reunion. From far-away Rome, where he was visiting his brother St. Peter, came the jubilant acceptance of Ralph St. Paul. A fast plane from Hollywood brought to Peabody two of the screen’s latest sensations, handsome “Dom” Gearo and gorgeous “Flossie” West, who had recently completed their newest flicker, “Come with the Breeze.” A radio- gram from gay “Paree” announced to a happy class the intentions of Andre’s foremost designer, Alice Flattere, to attend our gathering. After much ado, the class finally assembled for its consultation in the cozy (yea, even compact) auditorium of dear old P. H. S. Amid girlish shrieks (even at this late date we consider ourselves girls) and hearty hand- shakes the meeting was called to order. Proposals for spending our million rose in quick succession to the raft- ers of our Alma Mater and fell back to earth with equal rapidity. Finally some brilliant mind of ’39 struck upon the idea of a cruise around the world. The volume of applause that arose from the fun-hunt- ing ’39ers proclaimed a unanimous approval of the plan. A trusty vessel was bought; we once more bid the faculty adieu, and sailed away toward new horizons. Once out to sea we took time to renew our acquaint- Time— 1950 ances with our former classmates and to inquire into the various occupations of the same. We learned, to no great surprise, that the majority of our shipmates were follow- ing the same courses that had characterized them in High School. On making a more thorough tour of the ship we found an interested group watching a demonstration of jitter- buggin’ by Helen Papacostas, assisted in her gyrations by James Mulcahy. Still further on, stranded in a lonely corner of the deck, Dorothy Linehan marched listlessly up and down, exercising an indescribable mongrel from her world famous kennels. Promenading the deck together were Phil Trask and Georgia Russell, slackening their pace only to talk to an old acquaintance or to smile an- gelically at a passerby. A halt was called in the day’s rovings by a personal invitation from the Captain, former sea-scout Herbert Merrow, to have dinner with him in the main dining room of our floating palace. Entertainment was to be provided in the true Peabody manner. Ding! Dong ' ! Ah, the dinner bell! Dinner was served in the spacious dining hall, an original creation designed by Robert King. In his own inimitable style, first chef Frederick Burke, ably assisted by “Louis” Hemenway, pre- pared a delicious meal of Lobster a la Newburg with all the fixings. The dishes were expertly handled by three petite young ladies — “Libby” Kelley, Selma Goodwin, and “Ginny” Legro. A blast from Harold Fowler’s trumpet heralded a half- hour of entertainment. First on the program was a ren- dition of that old favorite, “Down by the Old Mill Stream,” by the famous Flufferettes from Station WOW — “Chris” Brady, “Ernie” Blair, “Nanny” Bezemes, and Harry Cap- insky. As the lights were dimmed a hearty round of applause greeted “Pat” Patton, the Deep Blues Singer, giving us in her own style, the ever popular “Shine.” The spotlight was focused on the popular dance team of “Kay” P. H. S. META One Hunched and Nine Chenery and Janies Hinchion who rose from the pot of gold at the end of a fantastic rainbow. An, echoing chord from Kathleen McCarthy’s piano climaxed an enjoyable evening of fun. Curfew was sounded by the ship’s first steward, Edward Skahill. Everyone retired to his stateroom, but a few hours later we were all awakened by a shout of “Land Ahoy” from lookout William Haley. One by one the passengers huried from their staterooms. But alas! Haley was wrong. We had run aground on a coral reef. Life boats were manned by a burly group of sailors including Edward Dolan, Irving Fromer, William Hayes, and Hugh McVann. “Ladies first!” bellowed second mate, “Baldy” Callahan, as a frenzied mob rushed toward the rail. All were thought safe until a terrorized cry of “Help!” brought James Coffey from the life boat to the upper deck of the liner, where he found the shrinking form of Helen Sawitsky. The same old James — always to a lady’s rescue. We were quickly brought ashore by the sturdy strokes of James Baltas, Walter Burke, Bruno Gurney and Spiros Karabellas. Dawn was breaking as our weary feet led us up the sand dunes of a beautiful isle studded by the glories of swaying palm trees and wild orchids. Six months have elapsed and our dreamlike Utopia has developed into a well established community. Governed under the capable leadership of President Harvey Court and the first lady, Dorothy Desmond, we soon comprised a sturdy group of South Sea pioneers. The reins of our Department of Civil Wars were ably handled by Sidney Mizner; Department of Labor was controlled by Pearl Freedman; Department of Interior, Harold Edelstein; De- partment of Style, Sara White. A war hoop from jovial “Bob” Irving announced the opening of a spectacular horse show displaying the fine thoroughbreds of Carolyn Natalie Negus’ stables. Under the expert guardianship of “Tom” Alberghini, the steeds had been raised from frisky little colts. “Bess” Assiminas and Elizabeth Harris, together again, (oh still) entered a dry goods store to make a few purchases. From the other side of the counter, Paul Better, clerk in the haberdashery run by Sherman Hill and “Bob” Kelly, offered some cravats to them wholesale. Those Island Romeos, Ernest Adamopoulas and Christ Andrian- opolus, were to be the recipients of these gifts. The isle became an island cabaret from nightfall, to dawn. Entertainment under the direction of master-of- ceremonies “Jackie” Driscoll gave all spectators a different form of recreation. Introduced by “Jack,” “Dick” Dolloff played an island-made instrument, created by ding-bat Donald Foulkes (the Foo-horn, “Foulkes” titled it.) Velda Poeton and “Bea” Abell acted as cigarette girls — yes, business picked up — as “Bill” Cook brought us back to our own native land with his yodeling. High upon a ped- estal, Regina Studzinsky gave a swing version of “The Minuet in G.” She was accompanied at the piano by the nimble fingered Osgood sisters. Down on the silvery sands, Carl Wettergreen and Mary Fuller embarked on an Apache Dance with the greatest of vim. The entertainment was climaxed by an impersonation of an Italian fruit vendor, w r ell characterized by Thomas Killeen. Thus another evening of fun was brought to a con- clusion and Thomas Grady, ever faithful to his duties, went his rounds extinguishing our tropical lamps. Early the next morning, Caleb Kirby — town milkman, bringing milk from Menici Brothers Cocoanut Farm, woke the business men with the clatter of his bottles. At eight o’clock the town was bustling with ambition. On strolling down Main Street, we found the local gymnasium, appro- priately headed by the slogan “Slim and Trim with Jack and Jim,” (remember Jack Sweeney and Jimmy Nelson) reaping a fair profit. The well-known peppermint stripe barber pole led us to “Curly” Mitropolos’ establishment. Inside “Teddy” was cutting William Swalgen’s hair. In a far corner, “Joe” Mistretta was shining Carl Bisson’s shoes. Next door, in the “Swirls and Curls Beauty Shoppe,” Mary Melnik and Jennie Pechinsky initiated Frances Breare and Eleanor Callahan into) the tortures of native headdress. In a cheery little alcove of the Shoppe, a petite manicurist, Edith Hutchinson, brightened Mary Walkovich’s nails with a fascinating red glow called A e flnyli nf R on n) IQ 2 „e, f?

M ETA One Hundred and Eleven “Brick Top.” Thirst brought us to “Tom” Brown’s drug store where “Bud” Dabrieo was preparing the Dabrieo Special for “Terry” Roltsch and Alice Yamchuk. Behind the perfume counter, “Ginna” Batchelder exhausted all sales methods to induce Irene Simas to purchase one full dram of Rose Petal Perfume from “Fluff” Verocchi’s rose terraces. Irene was at it again — questioning the quality of the perfume. On a level stretch of tropic green, “Jones” Studzinsky did his best to accommodate his customer. “Jones” now owned a bowling alley. Trying to break all records (and the pins too) were “Bob” Chenery and “Tony” Maimoni. White pills shot out across the deep as “Bernie” Nangle and George Markham tutored Helen Stanton and Agnes DeF ' reitas in the mysteries of golf. The savory smell of hamburgers called us to Speliotis’ Restaurant, where Frank and Peter were employing their culintry charms. Two waitresses, Franscalina Marshall and Gloria Magalhaes, were serving Mary Morrison and Alma Langill (they always did have lunch together.) On the way out, Mary and Alma stopped to chat with cashier Anastasia Ardas, who, with her usual smile, accepted their check. Our exit from the restaurant brought us up the street to Bernice Abram’s Gown Shop. Outside we encountered the distinguished politicain, “Bob” Sullivan, arguing with William Fleming about the prospects of the next election. The debate was too much for us, so we entered the shop where we were greeted by Bernice in her usual friendly manner. She introduced us to her most attractive model, Mary McGann, who was busily engaged in displaying one of Morris Dandes’ creations to eager-eyed Eileen Cassidy and Mary Essember. Sales-girl Mary Repchinuck tried in vain to convince Ola Crowell that the fantastic “thing” she had on her head was really a hat. Entering an elevator we were surprised to find Veme Goodwin at the controls. He brought us to the second floor where “Joe” Gilmore displayed his new stock of women’s shoes to bargain- hunting customers. After bidding “Joe” adieu we left the store in search of more of our classmates. Directly across the street from the shop was the Utopian Press Building. On our rounds of investigation, we discovered to our amazement that “Pop” Mulligan was the editor of this daily publication. Assistant editor, Arthur Cain, in- structed two of his “news hounds,” Edmund Gould and Heinq Forsstrom, in the art of journalism. Our curiosity brought us to the press-room where Donald Gilmore was setting up type for the latest edition. In the next room, pi ' ovided for the columnists, we encountered “Daff” Claffey, the Walt Disney of Utopia, drawing cartoons for his latest farce. Opposite “Daff,” Mariam Barr prepared her daily advice for the readers of her “Lonely Hearts” column; while Jacqueline Bateman checked one of the many recipes sent to her “Dainty Dish Column.” A red beacon attracted our attention, and to our surprise we found none other than “Rip” Ripley, author of the favorite “Take It Or Leave It” facts. We satisfied our curiosity and were about to make a hasty exit when we were greeted in the front office by two clerks, “Kay” Costas, and “Dot” Farn- ham. Bidding them a fond farewell, we left for a few hours of entertainment at the local cinema. We purchased our tickets from cute little Rita Bowes in the cashier’s box. We handed the stubs to a tall fellow in a neatly pressed uniform. At a second glance, we found this gentleman to be “Joe” Tyndall. Down the darkened aisle, we were escorted to our seats by Herman Tuttle, and spent an enjoyable afternoon. Coming once more into the daylight, we were courteously greeted by the theater man- ager, Harold Earle. An enormous billboard from the Graglia Art Studio (Laura is at it again) told us that a circus run by Charles Sideris and Lawrence Silva had arrived in town. A taxi, driven by Walter Gizitsky brought us to the Big Tent. We were greeted by the popcorn-man, Robert Graham. Still munching “Bob’s” luscious kernels, we approached barker “Bob” Davidson, introducing his spectacular show featuring strong-man Walter Kushnieruk and magician “Bud” Endslow. A roll from Frank Water’s drums called us to the larger tent. As we entered, master-of-ceremonies — Martin Walsh — was in the act of introducing those three trapeze artists, Paul Newhall, Edward Mahoney, and Rose- marie Dumas. After a few minutes of skill and daring, their act ended — with the greatest of ease. In the next ring, “Joe” Houghton attracted the attention of the spec- tators by his unique ability in training seals.

H. S. META One Hundred and Thirteen ence was in “stitches” over this performance and a few moments later gave another roar of applause for Marion Leonard, the bare-back rider, who performed in her usual gay manner. In the third ring, fearless Charles Lappas had his three lions under control as the mangy beasts jumped through huge rings of flames. The circus began to bore us. The restlessness created in us a desire for higher adventure — so we left. On our way out, we brushed past the handsome blonde policeman, Arnold Kaupinnen, who introduced us to the Chief of the Utopian Police, John Keilty. As we were carrying on a conversation with Chief Keilty, we heard the shriek of the fire engines. The hook-and-ladder came first with John Kallas and Peter Kardenetz, followed by Chief William Pyburn’s fiery red car. In search of excitement, we followed the engines and soon found ourselves before the blazing form of our hospital. The doctors and nurses rushed to and fro, carrying the limp forms of patients from their cots to safety. We noticed especially two familiar faces — they were our old classmates, Chris Lalikos and Leonard Quinn, now studying a new cure for blushing. The wealthy oil heiress, Sally Bonomo, was being removed from the flam- ing building by John Dunn and Howard Smith. Supervisor of nurses, Marie Mahoney, instructed the student nurses in their line of duty. We watched the fire until we were sure it was under control. While walking toward our respective homes, we met those life-long friends, Vassy Parianos and Barbara Massey, just completing a day’s work at the art studio. We stopped in at the Sweet Shop, owned by those sweet little “dishes,” Aune Helbacka and Portia Karas. After a little snack we retired to our homes. We started off the next morning for a brisk swim at Collie Wollie Beach. Posed upon the spring-board, we saw our own Olympic Swimming Champ, “Romey” Brawley. At the nearby tennis-court the racquet champs, Aino Berg and Helen Pitrowski, were having their daily work-out. Whizzing by atop the waves we recognized that famed surf-rider, Marie Maher. Out to break his own record (and perhaps his neck,) Eddie O’Keefe raced up the sands in his speed racer, “The Silver Bullet.” In ' the seat beside him was Eino Lehto, the master mechanic who had helped him construct this beautiful specimen. A few moments later, our attention was drawn to the crowd of people who had gathered not 100 feet away. Feeling a sense of curi- osity, we walked over to investigate. We were told that a play was to be presented in the large amphitheater in front of us. Entering the stadium, we took our seats just in time for first curtain. Our 1 programs read to; the effect that the authoress was that intellectual little miss, Mary Donlon. Ah! The curtain rises. The foot-lights were dimmed, and the star approached center stage. Look again, girls and boys. Yes, it is . . . Grace Eagan, in the role of a wealthy heiress, in search of her long-lost brother, por- trayed by Henry Sullivan. The supporting case included: Tony Metaxatos as “Bill” the Butcher; Leo Shapiro as Barny Gill, alias “Pussy-foot Louie”; Eleanora Cedergren as LaMai-r Hedy (get it); and Natalie Capinsky as Aunt Fanny — the girl-friend of the Whirling Dervish. The play was a delightful comedy, and before we left, we sent our bouquets to Robert Sherry, Director, and Frederick Pais, Producer. Outside once more, we strolled along the sands and at a reviewing stand we stopped to watch judges Jeannette Pyburn, Amalia Drago, and Marion Drew select the winner in a bathing-beauty contest. Would it interest you to know a few of the contestants? Well, here they are: Louise Evitts, Barbara Finnegan, Ruth Gulliford, and Ruth Montgomery. We couldn’t possibly tell you who the winner was, but don’t let it worry you. All of them, as you remember were shapely little damsels. Upon leaving the beauty contest we tripped over Ardis MacNeil who was still sunning herself. Don’t you recall how “Ardie” used to leave us every winter to bask in the warm Florida sun? We asked her if she knew of a few of our other classmates whom we had not heard of in the last year. She told us that Karlyne Dynan was a pro- fessor of French in a university on the southern tip of the island. Adela Nekoroski was 1 busily engaged in operating a small bakery. Versatile Mary Nevins operated a book- shop close to the university. Anna O’Meara was a famous journalist. Anna was always an excellent w riter you know. After hearing of our classmates we motored in one of r ? h ' t U sT Tonvev- VC P. H. S. META One Hundred and Fifteen Frank Vistorino’s latest motor cars to the rolling stretches of “Yarnie” Moulton’s golf course. The “pro,” Manuel Madruga, was endeavoring to prevent “Scoop” Marshall from taking pictures of the annual women’s tournament — Doris Gates, Celia Gelman, Sophie Kohut, Chrisanthy Tranos and Mary Fennelly. The heat of the sun began to affect us. Giving in to the tortures of Sol, we betook ourselves to “Yarme’s” palatial club-house. The hostess, Carol Hawes, relieved our sufferings with a kind word and a cool drink concocted by minute Lillian Pernitchi. Pacing the soft carpeted lengths of the reception-hall was Helen Oleszevski, “modeling” the latest in sport suits by Helen Tolios. In a small room nearby Nora and Eva Vautour (still combing hair) were arranging Georgia Skarmos’ raven locks in shining curls. Lolling across the soda fountain, were Helen Gokas and Amy Grayton, being waited on by a veteran from our High School Cafeteria — Helen Marshall. Never satisfied, we left the stifling con- fines of the club-house to wander once more about the course. Who should we find as greenskeeper but that sweet farmerette, Susie Gelott! Claire Limauro and Clara Sironi, whose Massachusetts homes had bordered on the shores of Brown’s Pond, were up to their knees in the pond looking for lost balls. Under a crystal dome, in an artificially frozen pond, Katherine Babchenuk practised the figure 8. Katherine was truly the Sonia Henie on our isle. At a nearby game reserve, we found Edith Pedrana, a former West Peabody Miss, enjoying open contact with nature. (It was like West Peabody — wilderness.) Bess ie Zakas and Lillian Phillips (very quiet young ladies) were taking elocution lessons from a parrot. A poor little innocent squirrel was dodging an aimless line of bullets from Betsy Swain’s musket. Anna Sclavounos, now a successful stenographer, was present, spending her leisure time making faces at the comkeys. Wandering toward Priscilla Wilson’s soft drink stand, we paused under a beach umbrella (tropical leaves plastered together with mud) to enjoy a refreshing Colo Coca. Ah ha! Who are those two young ladies seated over there? Aren’t they familiar looking to you? Why, it’s none other than Agnes O’Hara, the island-famous poetess, and her business agent, Frances Stanford. With a friendly greeting, and a hurried goodbye, we left our friends and proceeded on our way. We still have a faint recollection of the gruelling- days we spent in having our senior class pictures taken, yet a desire to see ourselves as we look today (we hope) led us to the photographer’s studio in the business section. We entered a small office to see our friendly classmate, Evelyn O’Conor, at the switchboard. She indicated the way to the elevator, where we were met by “Margie” Hollingsworth, the elevator operator, who, as you recall, always liked to be sailing high. She whizzed us up to the third floor where the photographer’s office was located. The industrious photographer was our own “Ginna” “Flash” McCarthy, who was trying various poses on her glamorous model, Vera Shaw. Numerous pictures of other models looked down on us from the walls of the room. It appeared that “Flash” enjoyed photographing cute little Olga Rabchenuk, and “Dot” Howarth also. As life had been rather strenuous for the past week, we decided to go to a far corner of the island — to relax. As we made ourselves comfortable, we heard a thunderous roar above the rumbling of the waves. Upon investigat- ing, we saw Gloria Wilchinski trying to increase the volume of her voice, in order to get into the local opera company. It is, of course, probable that she will succeed. At any event, we were aroused then, and we found it necessary to resume our tour of the island. After walking under the shady palms for a while, we caught sight of a beautiful pillared mansion. There in her garden, puttering around, we recognized “Betty” Moulton. She noticed that we were tired, so she rang for her personal maid, Frances Sernas, who eased our weari- ness with some refreshments. On our way back to town, we passed Frances Hallowell and Alberta Jackson, who were, with others, enjoying a picnic. Helen Gusoski and her husband were taking their dog, “Butch,” for a walk. Standing upon the latest in duplex soap-boxes, originated by Ann Kappotis, stood Helen Kondon and Alice Kupriance, the island’s Progress- ives, trying to convince the people that our government at Utopia was too “lack-a-daisy,” and that the type they w-ere in favor of would prove much more effective. These P. H. S. META One Hundred and Seventeen two young ladies met with opposition. Elsie Mackey and Agnes Sampsonis, retiring as usual, yet asserting their rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, came to the front to defend our conservative form of govern- ment. Agnes Petropoulos, with her usual gay walk and additional dignity, made her way along our main street to her office. She was now a prominent bookkeeper for the firm of VaJames 1 and Magesky (Rose and Anna) deal- ers in imported charm and gaiety. And so we come to the end of our list of classma tes. We have molded your careers as we wished; yet we do wish you well in spite of all these jocular remarks. And in bidding you a final and fond farewell may we beg of you not to take this prophecy too seriously. It was compiled only in a period of vivid imagination and though we have seasoned it with 1 the impossible, it was primarily meant in fun. Good-bye, R. B. C. N. G. E. A. O’M. J. C.

We meet our teach- ers; and the old gang; books are distributed, and we be- gin to lose that precious summer tan. September 14 — One week of school over. Only thirty- nine to go! Not so bad. We’re beginning to get acclimat- ed. The teachers are still trying to remember our names. September 21 — The hurricane strikes, or perhaps we should say blows! High winds; trees down! And we got only a touch of it! What an experience! September 22 — It’s an ill wind, etc. No school. We look over the damage done our fair city. A Roman holi- day for young camera fans. October 6 — We elect our Class Officers. Under “Bill,” Grace, Georgia and “Tommy,” we get ready to “go places.” We’re the best graduating class yet and we’re bound to ccme out on top. October 12 — Remember those “guys and gals” on the decorating committee who trudged into the wilds of a West Peabody cornfield in search of corn husks and stalks and twigs to cover the barrenness of our gym for the event. October 31 — The student body gathered in the audi- torium for an informal talk which was very capably and impressively given by the distinguished lecturer, Dr. Clarence H. Barker. November 4 — Under the gigantic floodlights in the Buckley Stadium, our undefeated Peabody High football team, upheld their record by a victory of 19 to 0. The opponents were those gold and purple clad chargers from Waite High, Toledo, Ohio. November 18 — The Junior Class runs its first social. A very gay time was the Junior Jamboree — and well attend- ed. The Juniors have what it takes to make a success- ful senior class.

(Re- member the mud, snow, wind, salt air, etc.) November 211 — Back to the grind. Just think — only 18 shopping days until Christmas. December 9 — Junior Red Cross “Tin Can Dance” was a novelty in High School dances. The unusual “bring a can of food and 15 cents” idea was an attraction for many dancers from other high schools. December 12 — With speakers galore, a sumptuous din- ner and presentations, the Peabody High School champion- ship eleven was feted at the City Hall by the jubilant citi- zenry of Peabody. December 18 — Our formal Christmas Ball. All dressed up and some place to go.

December 23 — Christmas holidays begin (thank heav- ens). What a grand time we’ll have using our new presents. January 1 — Our Year!!!! Resolutions and everything. We’ll really get down to work now! We’ll really surprise those skeptical teachers! No, we’re not worried about those mid-years! That is, not much! January 4 — A never-to-be-forgotten addi ess by Rev. Francis J Connors was presented. Father Connors told with amazing reality the work done to relieve suffering in his pride and joy, the Gate of Heaven Leper Asylum in far off China. We’re honored to have the privilege of hearing him and wish him success in his great sacrifice Be- fore his return to his colony he was taken to his eternal reward on February 3, 1939 t o the sorrow of his many friends and admirers. January 13 — Spanish Club Dance. Although it was held on the superstitious date of Friday, the thirteenth, the affair was one of the biggest yet. The decorations were very attractive with beautiful Spanish shawls draped on the walls. January 30 — Mid-years. Oh, well! They’re here and P. H. S. META One Hundred and Twenty-one we’ll have to cram for a few nights anyhow — keeping our fingers crossed. February 2 — Strand Night — an annual event always well attended. A smart “Walter Winched” column and plenty of talent provided an enjoyable evening’s entertainment. February 9 — And then came the bad news. The teach- ers passed back exam papers today. A joy for some and a sorrow for most of us. Febru ary 10 — “Little Jimmie Jones” — one of the best three-act comedy plays ever presented in P. H. S. The cast and Mr. Gorman deserve a great deal of credit for such high class entertainment. February 21 — An appreciation of the Shakespearian “Macbeth” is now imbedded in the minds of the students who went in a large group to see this presentation at the Copley Theatre. March 4 — The Tanners’ Hoopsters capture the Class A North Shore finals in the Interscholastic Tournament after a foui days’ display of championship playing. Adding another to our list of athletic laurels in the 1938-1939 season. March 17 — St. Patrick’s Day Penny Sale and Dance. A pleasant interruption of the Lenten Season. — Also a much needed reimbursement of the Senior Class Treasury. April 6 — “What can you expect?” “They aren’t very good, but they look just like you.” — Such unintentional, but nevertheless discouraging remarks were flying around among seniors. Yes, we received the proofs of our pictures today. April 21 — The Junior Prom — the most successful formal dance in many moons. Juniors and Seniors alike joined in the fun of the evening. Much credit is due to Mrs. Eva L. Haines for her invaluable decoration arrange- ments. Altogether, everyone had a “whale of a good time.” May 12 — “Wedding Spells’” — another great success of the Dramatic Guild. It is a play not to be forgotten soon. We laughed till we cried at the antics of a young man’s friends who tried to help him find the girl he had married. He couldn’t remember who she was. Give us more, Dra- matic Guild, we love it. May 19 — The eagerly anticipated day has arrived. We received our pictures. The “camera doesn’t lie” theory is little if any consolation to us now. June 2 — We have looked forward to the last day of school with great joy, but “parting is such sweet sorrow” and we realize that when we enter P. H. S. again it will be as visitors, not students. June 7 — The day of the great victory banquet. We’re celebrating our conquest of studies that have been our only burden during the last four years. But, “eat, drink, and be merry,” for after graduation the world awaits us. Look out world — here we come! June 9 — The long awaited day has arrived. Here we are 240 strong - , singing our farewell song to our Alma Mater. We face the future with courage and determin- ation. The Class of ’39 has always succeeded in then- efforts while in school. We’ll carry on and be proud to say — “The happiest four years of my life were spent at Peabody High School.” “And we do mean with you, Faculty.” June 16 — The Reception — We’re having a wonderful time dancing. We haven’t seen all our school pals since last week at graduation and we’ve missed them. How strange it will seem not to see them every day as we have for so long. But although we may be scattered to the four winds we will never forget our classmates and our teach- ers at P. H. S. Dorothy Ann Linehan. 7 = 7 i V «« f Flfin - -f. Act « K • w 1 iu r, „ «. r ' .

Horse-back riding, tennis, badminton as electives. 12. A Smile to ba present on the faces of all the students at all times. 13. A modernistic cafeteria. 14.

GOLF TEAM TRACK TEAM GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM P. H. S. META One Hundred and Forty-seven GIRLS’ ATHLETIC HONOR ROLL Miss Helen E. Riley, Director Too often we forget that our girls have an important part in the athletic history of a school. This failure of so many to recognize the part played by the girls on the field of sport is particularly hard to understand, particu- larly in the case of our own Peabody High School, because for years Miss Riley has been turning out basketball teams that have ranked with the best in the State. Because the girls of ’39 have been carrying on the good work of the girls who have preceded them we are setting aside this page in order to give them some of the attention they so richly deserve.
