Debate-Speech Club Under the leadership of fac- ulty advisor, Mr. Freeman T. Frank, and club president, John DeStefano, the Debate-Speech Club has participated in over 300 interscholastic debates. On Saturdays throughout the years, the club has met in competition with from twenty to fifty other schools throughout New Eng- land. This year was a realization of the promise shown by the Debate Club in former years since they won trophies from Dartmouth, Manchester, Notre Dame, and elsewhere. Also this year the club was once again a member of the National Forensic League and the Northshore League. First row: C. Abbott, T. Kenny, R Hildreth, J. Goldblith, J. DeStefano, A Seymour, E. Hannabury. Second row: Mr. Frank, advisor; J. Cook, J. Dunbar, J. Fitzpatrick, K. Kelly, R. DeStefano, C. Harrington. Third row: G. Giffen, N. Stiles, D. Shea, F. Hynes, D. Wheaton, N. Ingersoll. Fourth row: K. Musto, A. Soccorso, Mr. Craft. S.A.T. Office Although the number on the staff was decreased, the S.A.T. Office has completed another successful season under the guid- ance of Mr. Irving Neiman. Each Student Congress Repre- sentative was put in charge of the ticket sales in his respective homeroom. This arrangement, which enabled greater efficiency in the handling of tickets, and the especially ardent sales cam- paign this year resulted in an increase in the sale of S.A. Tick- ets. This fall homeroom 28 was dismissed from school early be- cause they purchased the largest percentage of S.A. Tickets. As usual, the Student Activity Tick- et provided admissions at a great saving for sports events, dances, and other extracurricular activi- ties to the students of Melrose High School. Left to right: M. Giffen, G. Barter, B. Jenkins, Mr. Neiman, J. Turco, L. Bin- ford, K. Thayer. 25

MISS AGNES RING The LOG staff takes pride in dedicating this book to Miss Agnes Ring, who during her years with us has had a sincere and personal interest in each and every person she has met. After teaching at Milton High School, Miss Ring came to Melrose High School and soon became Head of the Business Department. She helped to found the Honor Society and through her extensive work with it has striven to make the Society the worthwhile and notable organization that it is today. Those students fortunate enough to have had Miss Ring for a teacher will long remember her warm and friendly personality which brightened many a girl’s day. Miss Ring believes that work is stimulation and, with this objective, has set high standards for the girls in the Business Course and inspired her students to work to the best of their abilities. With these standards she has been exceedingly helpful in preparing many girls for their future careers and has made Melrose High School noted everywhere for its fine caliber of students graduating from the Business Course. Miss Ring is a teacher truly dedicated to her job, and she deserves the respect and admiraiton of both those girls who have benefited from placement and also those business asso- ciates with whom she has come in contact. As she makes her plans for retirement, Miss Ring will certainly remember the pleased and grateful faces of the girls whose careers she has helped to start. Miss Ring hopes to travel and to indulge in many of the inter- ests which she has not been able to enjoy during the greater part of the school year: gardening, hooking rugs, knitting, crewal work, and braiding. All at Melrose High School hope that in retirement, Miss Ring, you will find the happiness and fulfillment that you so well deserve. 27
