THE MALDONIAN 1929-A DONALD IRVING COGGINS “Don” Scientific Faulkner School Brown Band (’26-’28) ; Orchestra. “Don has carried himself and his faithful trum¬ pet (which is as big as he) through the scientific course. Whenever Don is in band uniform, it isn’t unusual to hear a voice either from the sidewalks or grandstands remark “Who is that cute little kid with that cornet?” Keep it up Don, and we shall be expecting to hear from you at Brown. FRANK MOSE COMEAU “Frenchy” General Centre School New Hampshire University Football ’26, ’27; Baseball ’27. “I ' ll be merry, I’ll be free, I’ll be sad for nobody”. This typifies “Frenchy”. And can he dance. We exclaim, “An’ how!” We might say that it is he who is the “life of the party”. CHARLOTTE ELEANOR CONANT “Coco” General Centre School Burdett Girls Glee; Joan of Arc. “Coco” the class vamp, well deserves, the name, as- they gave her a unanimous vote. “Coco” is the director of the General Course Agency. She has made life a pleasure for all gloomy lesson spongers, an organization in 121, with her pleasing smile.

THE MALDONIAN 1929-A DORIS MILDRED CARR “Bud” General Faulkner School Burdett Doris is a cute girl with Titian hair, a character¬ istic that makes her stand out in the class. Raymond, the name of a person, place, or thing, made her a close second as the girl most in love. Doris is also the lesson bureau for the general course, and if she has the information desired, she will dispense her knowledge or else direct you to her many assistants. NORMAN WINSTON CARTER “Normie” General Faulkner School Church and Theatre Organist Year Book Staff, Biographer; Lit, Secretary; Or¬ acle, Associate Editor; Hi-Y, Secretary; Class Day Song Leader; Building Inspector, Boys’ Week; Elec¬ tive Chorus, ’25-’28; Pianist, Boys’ Glee Club, ’25-’28; Orchestra, ’26-’29; Senior Chorus. Whenever Malden High is in need of a pianist, there is one common cry, “Norman Carter”. And why not? He’s the best there is, (chessed and other¬ wise) and he’s always on the spot. Another char¬ acteristic of Norman is that he’s a man of few words, but he says them all. MARY MARION COGGAN “Mary” General C. A. Daniels School N. E. Conservatory Phi Delta Phi; Tec English Club, Secretary; M. H. S. English Club; Orchestra, ’25-’29; Green-room Dra¬ matic Club; Year Book Staff; “Mr. Bob”; “The Amazons”; 1st prize winner of W. C. T. U. Essay Contest. “Some are born great”, seems to be the case with Mary. No matter what she goes into, she has proved her mettle. Her ability as an actress is known as ivell in the class room as on the stage. Besides being a fine violinist, she burst into prominence as a vocal soloist in “The Amazons”.

THE MALDONIAN 1929-A FRANCIS ERNEST CORNELL “Mike” General Glenwood School Northeastern “ Mike” is an ardent follower of the General Course and has gained a large list of friends because of his willingness to help out anyone that is stranded in any of their geometry problems. At Northeastern, with many of his friends, he will always be remem¬ bered as one having sympathy for the unfortunates. GRACE ANN CROSHAW “Grade” General Maplewood School Burdett College Elective Chorus. “Grade” is one of those bobbed haired terrors in the general course. She has attained a high mark in stenography and expects to enter Burdett College. Besides being proficient in her studies, she has found time to sing in the chorus. DONALD EBEN DAVIS “Don” Scientific Centre School Northeastern National Honor Society; Lit, Secretary, President; English Club; Year Book Staff; Triangular Debating League; Oracle. “Don” is one of the quiet type and after a few mo¬ ments talk with him one forgets him as a quiet lad, but realizes that he is talking to a literary genius. Donald has been honored as the Class Orator, also as a member of the Honor Society. It is a common sight to see Donald reading the dictionary absorbing new words. We all shall look forward to hear of him as one of our great statesmen. Good Luck, Don.
