■tr DONALD POND PELT “Don” “Flash” “Dead-eye” Football (4); Basketball ( Capt . ) (4); Track (3) (4); Hi-Y (4); “ School Life ” (4); Traffic Squad (4); Assem- bly Committee (3) (4). “Don”, our Melrose “flash”, started his educational career at M. H. S. four long years ago. Throughout these years he has been a popular boy at the dear old brick pile, and a credit to his class. He has always ranked high in his studies. Besides being studious “Don” has followed in the footsteps of his brother “Jeff”, and has successfully defended his Alma Mater in football, and showed a pair of clean hoofs to many a track competitor. He has also been one of the leading scorers on the basket- ball team, hence his nick-name “Dead-eye Felt”. “Don” says he doesn’t care much about the fair sex, but we are inclined to believe otherwise. The “flash” intends to continue his studies at Amherst, and we wish him the best of luck. DOROTHY ESTHER FOGG “Dot” Girls ' Club (4); Traffic Squad (4). “Dot” entered Melrose High in her junior year. She has rather a unique record for she has never attended one school for more than two years. “Dot” is an ex- ponent of all out-of-door sports, and is an especial ardent hockey fan. To her friends she is thought of as a cheerful, agreeable sort of girl always aiming to please. Although it is unknown to many, she has two separate voices, — one might almost say she is a ventrilo- quist. Like a few other senior girls “Dot” still re- tains her “crowning glory” since she has not followed the mob to the barber shop. We all wish for you the best of success in your future career “Dot”. ARLINE C. FORD “Shorty” Arline has a sweet personality and a pleasing dis- position which she brought with her from Reading High School in 1923. She also brought with her some long black curls which have disappeared. Arlene appears very quiet, but her many friends find her full of fun and a good sport. She has studied faithfully during her high school career and we all wish her success in the future. w mMi

MIAL F. DUSTIN “Dusty” “Dusty”, the boy from sunny California, has been very much in evidence since his appearance the first of his senior year. Of course he would not be expected to know a lot about winter sports. He was so disap- pointed in not making the hockey team, that he took to skiing in which he is famous in taking head long dives. Although “Dusty” does not excell in winter sports, not many can surpass his dancing, swimming, and golf. Mial says he will go to “Tech” this summer to finish his education if he passes U. S. History. When he is ready for college he will return to California, but as he has made many friends, we wish he could remain here with us New Englanders. ■ T- m L HERMAN FRANCIS EHLERT Year Book Staff (4). Herman is not one to bask in the limelight, but his services to his class have been none the less valua- ble. As a member of the year book staff he was one of the chief ad-getters, in which capacity he increased the pecuniary resources of the enterprise to a large extent. As an athlete Herman does not claim to be a marvel, but he eagerly indulges in athletics and is an ardent fan of every kind of sport. In short Her- man is a fine fellow and has a wonderful future before him. NELLE JANE EMERY “Jim” Junior Prom Committee (3) ; Traffic Squad (4) ; Girls’ Club (4). This attractive young lady arrived in M. H. S. four years ago from the Franklin School. Coming from so near Wakefield, it is not surprising that she should be quite interested in that town and its inhabitants. “Jim” was .another reason why the Junior Prom of ’25 was such a success. She is also an active member of the Girls’ Club and is one of the best looking girls on the traffic squad, where she performs her duties with distinction. She leaves high school with our best wishes for her success.

ELIZABETH GRACE FRENCH “Betty” Girls’ Club (4). “Betty”, coming from tlie Gooch Grammar School, was destined to be one of the tallest and prettiest girls of the class of ' 2G. Her sunny smile and sweet person- ality were soon to prove her greatest assets towards her popularity. After finishing High School, “Betty” in- tends training at Bridgewater Normal, before she en- ters into her career of being a school ma’am. We all wish her the best of luck! ALONA WENTWORTH FRIEND Here is the other side of the firm of “Beane and Friend” and a comely side at that. It is a well-known fact that Alona and Lauraine are absolutely inseparable and have always been so. Alona may be lost on the athletic field, but she is perfectly at home on the dance floor, and it is here that she spends the greater part of her spare time. As an authoress Miss Friend has displayed rare ability, having had a story of hers printed in the “Boston Trav- eler” Short Story Contest. With this beginning we can truly hope for her success in future endeavors. HOWARD NEWELL FURBER “Chink” Hi-Y (4); Traffic Squad (4); “ School Life ' ' (4); Year Book (4). Here we have a very modest and retiring young man who is known chiefly for his ability in wrestling foreign languages. We believe he has mastered about fifteen languages already. He is a very active member of the Hi-Y Club and the “School Life” staff, and has also turned in a year of honorable service on the traf- fic squad. He is planning to enter B. U. next year and we feel sure that he will meet with the best of suc- cess in the future.
