JULIAN A. CARPENTER ‘Carp” Hi- Y Club (3) (4); Correspoiuling Secretary (4); Euclidean Society (4); Traffic Squad (4). “Carp”, famous for his brilliant wit and satyrical comments, will always be remembered l)y his classmates for his perpetual smile and “sunny disposish.” ' In spite of his diminutive .stature he soon become a popular member of ’27. As he has been a working man during the afternoons, “Carp” has not been an active member of any organizations except the Hi-AL However, for two years he has been a willing worker in this club, and in his senior year he served as corresponding secretary. He has also been a member of the Traffic Squad, doing duty before room 59. Good luck, “Carpie!” FRANKLIN CARR “Frank” “Length” “Stretch” Ili-Y Club (3) (4); Masque and Wig (2) (3) (4); “Rising of Moon” (2), ; “Pinafore” (2); “Mikado” (3); “The Goose Hangs High” (4); Physical Education Leader (2) (3) (4). “Frank” stands very high in the estimation of everyone in M. H. S. as an actor and songster. He took leading roles in “Pinafore,” “Mikado” and “The Goose Hangs High” and per- formed much to the delight of the audiences. “Frank” is also our class “big boy,” but he seems to forget his height when choosing his “certain one” for dances. He is usually forced to “stoop to conquer.” “Frank” is set on being as big in a business way later as he is physically now. Best of luck to you, “Frank,” for a successful career. ARTHUR DOUGLAS CARA “Doug” Masque and Wig (4); Physieal Education Leader (4); Football (4); Basketball (4). “Doug” came to M. H. S. in his .sophomore year from Malden High where he is still well known. Since he has been with us he has made a fine record. In his first year at Melrose he won the S])eaking contest. Although “Doug” has not been a star on the football team, he is a “Red Grange” on the dance floor. This and his “good looks” seem to make him very popular, especially with the girls. He intends to take up dramatics (in the future) for which he is so well fitfetl.

PHYLLIS C. BUCK “Buoky” “Phil” Girls ' Club (2) (3) (4); Junior Prom Committee (3); Physical Education Leader (4); Basketball (3) (4); Field Hockey (3) (4). “Phil”, small as she is, is one of the most athletic girls in M. H. S. She came to us from the Washington School, and since her entrance into high school, she has participated in many school activities. Her career began in her freshman year when she helped Melrose gain the 6 points in the 86-6 Swampscott basketball game. She has since been a popular player for the field hockej ' and tennis teams as well as for the basketball teams. Her two great ambitions are to have a natural wave and to become an expert coach. We all feel sure that she would make a fine coach as she is so proficient in all forms of sport. Good luck, “Bucky”. MARTHA ELEANOR BURKE “Pepa” “Pepa” has one of the swecte.st dispositions of any girl in school You are always sure of finding her the same fun-loving, gay, talkative, and always interested in what you have to say. Nothing ever worries her because she always sees the bright side. “Pepa” is an accomplished pianist, having graduated from the Faelton School of Music. She intends to go to Bridgewater Normal School. We’ll envy her pupils because “Pepa” declares she’s never going to give hard exams! LAWRENCE J. CADIGAN “Larry” “Laure” “Caddy” “Laurie” has the honor of being a graduate of the Franklin School. His interest in athletics runs high although he has not been a candidate for the teams. He has one fault which he shares with several of his classmates, that is, he is always on the verge of being late to school about six days every week. “Laurie” is a very.faithful student, and he spends a great deal of time in l)reparing his lessons. With his faithfulness and straight forward way, he is sure to be a worthy alumnus of M. H. S.

Everybody in our sciiool does not know Florence Edna Cates, but thev all know “Ponnie.” She is a little girl, and you inav first get the impression that she is very quiet, yet you wdl change your mind before you have known her long. She is the sort of person who drives away the blues, for when she is around everything is sunshiny. “Ponnie” loves dancing and incidentally she has a very nice partner. During the last year she ha,s become very much interested in “Nunsing.” No one would mind being sick with this little girl for a nurse. May you always scatter rays of brightness in your path, “Ponnie.” HERBERT CHASE “Herbie” Physical Education Leader (4). “Herb” is a State-of Maine man and he joined our class in 1924.

He is a musician of considerable note and has been a member of several snappv jazz teams. He is quite a popluar man among the ladies, especially to and from school.
