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.

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.

Lib’’ is one of the quiet members of the class, although her infectious giggle somewhat contradicts this. One never can tell about these ' ‘quiet’’ people. They are bound to surprise us. So watch out for Lib.’’ We shall surely hear about her as a dancer of exceptional ability in the near future. Yet. since she is greatly interested in Chick”-ens, she may go in for farming. Who knows? BARBARA BUCK BUCKY” Girls ' Club (4) . When anything exciting or unusual happens in school you may be sure that Bucky has a part in it. Her favorite pastime is talking, and if she does not have time to do it in the class- room. she will write a note instead. All the afternoon sessions that she has had have been caused by her whispering. She is irresistible because of her pep. her irrepressible good humor, and charming personality. ■ f Memory dwight burgess “Em,” Itchy” Hi-Y (4); Masque and Wig (3) (4); Euclidean Society (3) (4) : P. E. Leader (4). Here is another one of those Highlanders who can coast through classes on the momentum obtained from Franklin Square. Not that Itchy” doesn ' t study, far from it His scholastic pursuits have even taken him into Boston to the Public Library, and to several history lectures. He was also a regular attendant at the M. I. T. lectures, comparing his theories with those of minor scientists. He is laying the foundation for an excellent set of side- whiskers, which leads us to prophecy that he will someday become a movie shiek or an absent-minded professor. Since he intends to matriculate at M. A. C., we would suggest that he cultivate a beard, by cracky! He does not inform us whether he will buy out Saugus and run a modern farm, or run a roadside caustic-canine” parlor.
