Vice-President of the Class (2) (3) (4) ; Field Hockey (1) (2) ; Captain (3) (4) ; Basket Ball. Class Captain (1) (2) ; ' Varsity (3) (4) ; Cheer Leader (4) ; Traffic Officer (3) (4) ; Girls’ Club (4) . When the call comes, Betty is always there with her winning smile and vim. You can depend upon her every time. She makes a fine leader and the class has found it out many times. Never is she so distressed as when she isn ' t in some form of athletics. It was Betty ' s winning goal that tied the score in Field Hockey for the championship of 1924 between Arlington and Melrose. We wish Betty the best of luck when she enters the Leslie School this fall. ROBERT EDSON BAYLEY BUD Bud.” as he is more often termed, is a fine young man with a winning personality. His favorite indoor sport is woman hat- ing. Bud” loves the women so much that he spends most of his time avoiding them. Once in a while fate carries him face to face with a girl, and in these cases a blush comes to his manly countenance which can be seen for a few miles. Bud ' s favorite outdoor sport is swimming. He never really feels at home until he is in the water. His favorite study is bookkeeping. Some day in the very near future, if you need an auditor to go over your books, call on Bud. NORMAN BEAN Beanie,” Bunk” Bunk is one of the old-timers at the brick pile having been sent up in 1920 for the crime of graduating from the Franklin Grammar School. He has not yet settled upon the vocation which he will take up after graduation. He does not want a job, but he is looking for a position, for he is one of the masses who do not crave labor. He already has interests” in Stone- ham, and if he cannot be found around town, it is a safe bet that he is in Stoneham.

KARL BARRETT Football (4); Baseball (3) (4); Hi-Y (4). Being rather small (he is only six feet two and shakes the scales at 190), Karl is quite retiring in the presence of the wim- min.” In football, however, he proved himself to be a wonder- ful tackle, having the physical ability to twist the necks of his opponents. Karl is very destructive at times, especially at foot- ball practice, where he made it a regular practice to tear the jersies off the backs of Dinty” Flint and Elmer Kehoe. In baseball, Karl reached the acme of athletic performance as the mainstay of the pitching staff in ' 24 and ' 25. As a student he proved to be an exception in that he studied hard and faithfully (?). HELENE BARNES HEL, “PETE” ' Hel” came to Melrose from Portland, Maine, two years ago. She is one of the jolly members of the class and has made many friends. Her witty sayings and clever antics have been of great amusement for others; and where real laughter is present one may feel almost sure that Hel” is near. She is tall and slim in stature and fair in complexion. GEORGE AUGUSTUS BARRETT “Battling Barrett,” “Zupo” George has a great future before him and his hopeful prospects seem pointed towards the canvas ring. He is not bad looking, likes the girls, and enjoys a good time. He is clever in his studies and always has a notebook of two or three volumes. Barrett is a lover of sports and when he is not writing in his note book, he is reading the sporting page. Although he is not on any teams, for he works afternoons, he is with the school in spirit 100%. It can’t be said that Barrett believes in the saying “The pen is mightier than the sword” even though he does write a great deal, for how can a “K. O.” be obtained by a pen? Well, here’s wishing luck to George.

ELINOR BERRY El,” BERRY” Simplified Dress (3). Full of fun is our ' ‘Berry” and as lovable as they make ’em. We shall remember her own particular giggle which, so far. no one has been able to imitate successfully. She tells us that she is going to study music — if she doesn’t meet the right one’ ' before that time. Whatever she decides to do, we know that she will be a success and we wish her the best of luck. HILDA BLACKMER Red” Red’s” official class is ’24, but because of illness she joined the class of ' 25. which gladly welcomed her. Despite the fact that she has beautiful, red-gold curls, we have never seen her hoppin’ ” mad; rather she is a quiet person with lots of fun in her, which has to be discovered. Being very feminine, Red does not take to athletics, but she does like music and dancing, and, we suspect, a boy or two. Last but not least of her accom- plishments is art. We guess that Red has an artistic tempera- ment, but if hair is any warning, we would rather not have that suspicion confirmed. CHARLOTTE MESSER BISHOP PEGGY” This young lady, sometimes called Peggy, is without a doubt our class baby, that is, as far as size is concerned. She entered the Melrose High School her Sophomore year, coming from the green hills of northern Vermont. Like most Ver- monters, Charlotte is sweet, gentle and kind. She is an old fashioned girl with an old fashioned smile. During the three years that she has been with us she has been a good student, and what is more she is well liked by her friends. When Charlotte goes into the business world we earnestly hope that she will make a success in all her undertakings.
