EVELYN I). BURT Evelyn has proved to us that she is a quiet girl in the respect that she does not attend many of the school’s social and athletic events. Of course there may have been a few occasions when she has attended one or the other, and if so. she was usually accom- panied by her sister, Esther. These sisters have been inseparable since their advent to M. H. S., but their individual personalities have always made themselves felt in our minds. MARGUERITE MAXINE BURTON “Peg” “Peg” is one of those quiet girls who doesn’t say much but does a lot of thinking. She has never in- dulged in school activities because all of her time has been spent in making up work which she has lost through absence. We congratulate her however be- cause she always manages to keep well up above the line. Bookkeeping is her favorite study. We will all miss “Peg” when she leaves old M. H. S. but we wish her the best of luck in whatever she decides to do whether it be nurse or a bookkeeper. ANNA LOUISE CARLSON Euclidean Society (3) (4). Louise takes the prize for quietness in the Class of ’2 6. Her calm, unruffled dispos ition has shown all of us the needlessness of rush, and worry, and fuss. Louise is so very quiet that perhaps a great many are not aware of her good nature, her steadfastness of pur- pose, and her faithfulness, but her friends know and appreciate these qualities. She has realized all through High School the importance of concentrated study, the fruits of which are clearly shown by the honors she has received in scholarship all through her four years of High School, particularly the honor of being saluta- torian of the class. t

' S’ SADIE KATHERINE BURNS “Sa” Sadie disagrees with the saying that children should be seen and not heard. Consequently, she has found that secessions are quite unpleasant. Money often “Burns” a hole in Sadie’s pocket, so she believes dn de- parting with it quickly. Friends find Sadie a good sport and a true pal. When she enters the business world, we all wish her success. MARY BARBARA BURR, “Barb”, “Barbie” Freshman Field Hockey (1); Varsity Field Hockey (2) (3) (4); Masque and Wig (3) (4); Girl ' s Club (3) (4); Euclidean Society (4); Class Basket-Ball Team (1). Energetic “Barb” started out in her Freshman year to make a name for herself by going out for field hockey, in which she received her numerals. Busy as a bee. and everywhere at once, “Barb” soon became prominent and popular. With her ever-ready smile and pleasing ways, “Barb” will be a favorite wherever she goes. “Barb” followed up her freshman hockey career by making varsity during her three Aral years. Her three years of brilliant playing came to a fitting climax when she scored the only goal for Melrose against Win- chester in 19 25, that won the Northern League Cham- pionship. ESTHER FLORENCE BURT “Gold Dust Twin” Debating Club (1) (2). Certainly after having spent six years ( 19 20-1926) in Melrose High, this educational veteran should at least be pensioned by the Endurance Committee. Never- theless we members of the class of ’26 realize that it is worth waiting six years to become a member of this class. Esther has not engaged in school activities to any great extent, but she was an active member of the debating club during its short career. Here’s hoping you have the best of luck in the future, Esther.

Who knows to what heights he will rise? “Big Boy” entered the portals of M. H. S. destined to be a student and a heart- breaker; he is progressing in both. John was one of the main stays on the football and basketball squads this year. In addition to this, he holds seven state records for championship swimming. ’At’ a boy, John, you’ll show ’em how to swim the English Channel. Last but not least, who has not thrilled to hear that melodious tenor voice blend vociferously with the many choruses of M. H. S.? A sense of humor, plenty of pep, and a pleasing personality make John one of our best liked classmates, and we know success will follow him through college and life.

From the time you meet “Ted”, you will always find him of a jovial and agreeable nature, by which he is fondly remembered by us. He is exceedingly observant, and has an eye for the beautiful, whether it is a pretty girl or a landscape, his snappy drawings so well indi- cate. “Ted” is extremely versatile, having among his accomplishments banjo player, author, actor and artist. The latter talent is what “Ted” excels in, and it is this which he intends to continue. We all wish “Ted” the best of luck in this profession or any other to which his varied talents may direct him. GEORGE EDWARD CHAMBERLAIN. JR. “Chamby” Hi-Y (3) (4) ; Euclidean Society (4) ; Traffic Squad (4).

He holds forth, also, as a traffic cop in front of 17. “Chamby” hopes to attend some business college next year. We wish you the best of luck, George.
