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.

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.

FLORENCE AGNES BOLSTER Florence Agnes Bolster, otherwise known as Flossie. and sometimes as Dolly,’ ' is well known, and very well liked among her classmates. We are all acquainted with Flossie’s sunny nature and she has contributed a great deal toward making her classmates merrier. Florence is planning to go to Simmons this summer, where she will take up a librarian ' s course. When she gets a ibrarian ' s position, we hope it will be here in Melrose. Flos- sie has always been a studious and persistent pupil, as all her teachers know. We all join together in wishing her success in whatever she undertakes. ALFRED BOWES Al (3) (4) (3) (4): President (4) ; Hi-Y Euclidean Society (3) Boys’ Debating Club (2) Play (4) ; Masque and Wig (4) ; Poultry Club (3) (4) . “Al is one of those quiet fellows, who just doesn’t seem to make noise enough to make people realize the kind of fellow he really is. When you get to know him. he makes a real friend — - one you want to remember. Al is the butt of most of the jokes in SCHOOL LIFE concerning woman-haters. This title hardly fits Al,” for when he was asked to address the Euclidean Society on the subject of poultry raising, he chose Chickens for his topic. Cheer up, Al, in spite of all our jokes, we wish you the best of luck and feel sure that you will succeed. FRANCES W. BRIGHAM BRIG. FRAN Franny came to us from the Gloucester High School where she spent her Freshman. Sophomore, and part of her Junior years. When Briggy leaves good old M. H. S., she expects to take up her abode in Salem, where she will attend the Salem Normal School. Briggy’s one ambition just now is to become a kin- dergarten teacher. She always did take delight in teaching A B C’s I’m sure we all wish her success in this, as well as in any other enterprise which she may undertake in the many years to come after she leaves the sheltering care of the old brick pile.
