M. -ELIZABETH CUMMINGS “Babe” Traffic Squad (4). Although “Babe” disdained to dazzle our small community, by displaying her ability along the usual l.ne-s of scholastic endeavor, she did cause the hearts of certain young gentlemen to behave most abnormally. Her conquests are not confined to M, H. S. for, as a waitress at Chatham last summer, she created quite a stir in the ranks of the collegians sojourning there. “Babe” also holds the dignified position of chaplain in the Order of Rainbow. We wish her a successful year at Normal School when she enters next fall. EDMUND JOSEPH COYE “En” “Ed” came to Melrose High School from the Wash- ington School. As we have never heard “Ed” tell a lie, some of us wish we went to that school. Well, never mind what we may say, “Ed”, honesty in the best policy. “Ed” hasn’t played on any of the athletic teams, but that doesn’t say he doesn’t show his school spirit. He is 100% in the above. “Ed’s” favorite sport is dodging women. His favorite school study is book- keeping. Here’s to wishing him success in that line. Some day in the near future, when some of us need an accounting bookkeeper to look over our books, we will call on “Ed”. KENNETH EARL CROSSMAN “Ken” “Fat” “Skinny” Kenneth is a boy who, although he seems exceptionally serious, really isn’t at all. He is a good student but at the same time he is a loyal supporter of the Order of Amusement, also a member of the recess trio. Ken seems dismal but when he is given opportunity for laughter he can laugh as loud and heartily as any of us. “Ken” has loads of friends won by his attractive personality and we all hope he will enjoy his next year at Dean Academy, where he is going with “Truie” Menadue to prepare for college.

v- ter- GWENDOLIN COOK “Gwen” School News Staff (4); Masque and Wig (3) (4), Secretary (4); Girls ' Club (3) (4), Recording Secretary (4); Euclidean Society (3) (4); Field Hockey (4); “ The Charm School (4). Although “Gwen” is small in size there is nothing insignificant about her giggle. Everyone knows it, and it appears at the most inopportune times. Although she has not always lived in Melrose, she attended the seventh and eighth grades of the Washington School. She intends to keep on to Wellesley College. She has iovely brown eyes which reflect, in turn, her passing moods. She is well known for her loyalty to what she believes to be right. She has, too, a vivacious manner which endears her to everyone. Her attempts at sports have always ended happily, for did she not get her nu- merals on the Freshman Hockey Team and her letter on the Varsity? May your future be as successful as your past has been, “Gwen”. PHILIP A. COOPER “Phil” “Coop” “Phil”, our class “butter and egg” man, came from Brookline, entering the Freshman class with uis. He has constantly been before the eyes of the student body, for he was behind the luinch counter in his Sopho- more year and has been the indispensable vender of lunch checks for the past two years. Next year will find him at Amherst studying the manly industry of agriculture where he will go in strong for chickem raising. After four years there he intends to have an extensive farm of his own. Here’s to you, “Coop”. We’ll buy our farm products from you. WILLIAM DeWITT COPE William, another very shy and bashful boy at M. H. S., makes himself known only by his conscien- | tious studying and good marks which he receives. Al- j though William does not take any part in social ac- 1 tivities at M. H. S., he is always willing to cooperate | with the school and make its events successful. More- over, with William in our midst, we have been able to offset some of the more or less clownish actions of our more liberal members. We do not know in what direction William is headed as to his future, but we can vouch that he would make an excellent minister.

r Hi mm ALVIN WENTWORTH CURTISS “Bun” Orchestra (1) (2) (3) (4); Euclidean Society (3); Hi-Y (3) (4); Masque and Wig (3) (4). “Bud” is busy most of the time as the above list indicates. As a musician he swings a wicked bow and has appeared in numreous social events of the “Spot- less City” as such. Whether or not he will make Paul Whiteman and his tin ban d sit up and take notice is a question for time alone to answer. Next year “Bud” will leave behind “the old brick pile” and pass his spare time at Wentworth Institute, where we feel sure he will have the best of success. C. LEON DANIEL “Lee” P. E. Leader (1) (2) (3) (4). During his high school career “Lee” has shown one serious weakness — women! It has been said, though not officially, that in the past four years “Lee’ has attended 513 dances and other social events, each time with a different girl. Notwithstanding this fact, he claims that he has never gotten his dates mixed, though he has had some narrow escapes. “Lee” has made a reputa- tion as an actor by participating in many plays and shows in Melrose. “Lee” has not yet decided what path to follow after leaving the “old brick pile” but next year may find him in B. U. Good luck, “Lee”. In Tom Cushman we have the class wit. “Tony” is the studious kind and it is a common sight to see him struggling up Porter Street with his load of books. Bean- pole Tom stays indoors on windy days, nevertheless he’s as fast as he is thin. In fact he recently passed a friend of his running down hill while he was running up! Some speed, Tom! Good luck to you in the future, “Tom”. THOMAS PARKER CUSHMAN “Tom” “Tony”
