C ' ONSTAXCE DE MASELLIS “Connie” “Connie” came to us from Wakefield High this year. Her charming manner and ideasing disposition have won her many friends. Through faithfulness to her studies “Connie” has been a good student. Although she is no athlete her.self, she is fond of all forms of athletics and has found numerous friends on our teams. We wish her much luck in any work she may undertake. ETHEL EVELYN DESPIN “Red” “Strawberry Blonde” Although Ethel has never entered any s])orts, she likes tennis and knows how to play except for hitting the ball, as she says. She also likes hiking. “Red” has a grest love for nature, biology and nursing and has a great desire to be a sister to Florence Nightingale. She is minus the red-headed temper and is used to being called “Red”. Her most outstanding feature is her sense of humor. Ethel will enter the Massachusetts Ceneral Hospital next year. NATALIE MARIAN DILYOCK “Nat” “Nattie” Masque and Wig (4); Plays. Pinafore{2) ' , ikado (3); Win- ner of Prize Speaking Contest (3). “Buddy” entered M. H. S. in the fall of 1 )23 from that far famed institution of learning, the D. W. Cooch Grammar School. Only a few weeks [)assed 1 efore her friendly attitude and delightful j)er.sonality made her an outstanding meml er of the class of 1027. She is always smiling and ready to laugh at the slightest opportunity. Sjie can 1 e serious when the occasion demands, however. “Nat” is (]uite an orator, having won the hrst qiize in the sjieaking contest during her jimior year. “Buddy” isn’t very fond of studying, for she is one of the hai3py-go-lucky members of the class.

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.

ARTHUR A. DOXDERO “Art” Fhjjsirnl Education Leader (2) (3). Among: the throng of “freshies” who entered M. H. S. in tlie fall of ]t)2;? was found “Art” Dondero, then one of the alumni of the (iooeh School. “Art” was a docile young chap, hut soon became po])ular with the ladies. His favorite study is chemistry, and he is said to excel in this subject. Arthur has been in close competition for the “late-to-school” record, Viut he has fallen off this last ejuarter. He has very enticing ways and when he blu.shes he has everybody beaten by a wide margin. In fact, “Art” should be called the class blusher. One cannot overlook the record he has made at AI. H. S. We trust “Art” will have the best of luck when he goes out into the world. HELEN E. DOTY “Doty” “School Life’ ' (4) School News Editor ' , (lirls’ Club (2) (d) (4); Chairman of Program Committee ' , Masque and ILfg (d) (4); “Charm School” (3), “What Men Live Eg” (4): Traffic Squad (3) (4). “Doty” from her big blue eyes may seem to you to be innocent and demure, but i)lcase don’t be mislead by these outer signs. “Doty” won fame as an actress in her junior year as a young flapper in “The Charm School” where she showed 1 er greatest asset, “charm”, to perfection. “Doty” may daily he seen bossing the freshmen around at her station by 36, but sorry to say she is hard to find when the mighty seniors swarm down upon her. She is undecided as to her choice of career (she is so tal- ented in all lines), but we certainly wish her all success in what- ever it may be, whether teaching hockey ’ players to dance or developing her art. KATHERINE DOW “Kitty” “Kay” Nuntius (2) School News; Girls ' Club (4); Phy.ncal Educa- tion Leader (3). Here is another attractive blonde member of the class of ’27. . t iiresent, “Kitty” is resisting the call of the barber, and slowly but surely she is succeeding in letting her bob grow. She has a jileasing personality which has won for her numerous friends. Although she is kept busy with the movies and social activities, she still finds much time for one of those gentlemen who prefers blondes. “Kitty” will probablj go to some higher institution of learning, but she is undecided as yet where it will be.
