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

Girls’ Club activities were highlighted by tradi- tional events as well as by several innovations. The years began last May with the traditional ceremon) inducting officers and new members. Under the able leadership of Jean Fagan and Mr. Morse, the Girls’ Club continued in the fall with the annual tal- ent show and distribution of Thanksgiving Baskets This worthy project provided twenty needy Mel rose families with enough food to last for a week 28
