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.

■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

WILLIAM CAMPBELL GARDNER “Bill” Track (1); Radio Club (3). “Bill” is one of the most popular boys in our class. His contagious smile and irresistible personality win friends for him wherever he may be. Bill” with a grouch is as rare as a day in June. His popularity, however, is not confined to those of his own sex, as many of his feminine admirers will readily assert. Neverthe- less, he prefers one with the good old-fashioned name of “Mary.” “Bill” is luckily possessed with the three es- sential factors of success: Common sense, Ability and Perseverance. Good luck. “Bill”. WINTHROP K. GARNISS “Red” It can hardly be said about “Red” that he is modesi, retiring, bashful, quiet, or slow. He is, in fact, one of the liveliest members of the class in certain respects, but when, it comes to studying his liveliness disap- pears. From this, however, we are not to suppose that “Red” is a slacker, for he carries out his every task in the most cheerful and optimistic manner. “Red” is also a noted authority on what the well- dressed man will wear, and his bountiful display of brilliant ties, socks, and scarfs leads us to beleve that he is not averse to gaudy colors. MARY ELIZABETH GEORGE “Betty” Euclidean Society (4), Secretary (3); Girls’ Club (3) (4); Masque and Wig (3) (4); Mikado (4); “School Life ” Staff (4). “Betty” claims she has no hobby, but we find her writing verses — not only in English, but even in French — so much of the time that we think she has made a mistake. Besides being in a position to win honors as a poet, “Betty” shows promising signs of a prima donna She has been a faithful worker in the Euclidean, the Girls’ Club, and on the “School Life” Staff, as well as a good scholar. “Betty” is planning to continue her studies at Smith College. We wish you the best of luck, “Betty”!
