ELEANOR DAVISON “Ellie” “Jackie” “Ell” “Dutchie” “Pinafore” (2), “Mikado” (8). “Ellie” i.s another ray of sunshine from M. H. S. She is well known among everyone of her school pals as “the girl with the pleasing smile.” “Ellie” became noted as an artist during the Melrose Woman’s Club poster contest when she won second prize, for which success she received a rousing good cheer from everyone. When the musical comedies were presented in the school, “Ellie” showed her talent by taking part in both. “Ellie” with her genial smile and sweet personality, has gained many friends, and with these characteristics she will surely find many more when she goes to work next fall. JOHN C. DAWES Four years ago, there came to Melrose High School a toy named “Johnnie” Dawes. He brought with him a haiipy-go- lucky way which made him a iwjjular student. Credit must 1 e given to this lad, for he overcame that common disease known as bashfulness. For the last three and a half years “Johnnie” has tried to wake u)i before his alarm clock went off; however, he succeeded but once, the time when the clock happened to be out of order. From what we hear, this same clock has several in- dentations on it, due chiefly to brutal treatment. Perhajis “Johnnie” will forget what he learned or what he did in high school, but he will never forget “Ma” Fogg’s HOT DOCS. JOSEPH DELANEY “Joe” FnolhaU (4); Baseball (3) (4); Track (4). “Joe” came from the Washington School four years ago. Since he has been in high school he has made a name for himself by his snaj)py football jilaying and his work on the baseball team, and also he is a good track man. When he gets started, there are few who can lead him to the tape in a hundred yard dash. As a shot putter, he has but one equal in the school. He’s a big boy and with some more training he should be a star within a few years.
