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.

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.

DAVID DUBROFSKY “Dave” “Davie” “Dave” is a good natured young; fellow who hails from the Highlands, having; jiassed his first eight years of schooling in the Franklin School district. He has been a hard working gentle- man during the afternoons, and for this reason he has not been very active in athletics. However, we do remend)er the time when he ran for Mr. Si rague when our “Uncle Dud” slammed out a hit in a game betwecm the faculty and a school team. “Dave” certainly bore a great resi)onsibility that time. Wo haven’t heard what “Dave” has in view for next year, but here’s hoi)ing he will be as ])opular and helpful as he has been here at M. H. S. HARRY DUNLAY “Kid” “C ' ounI” Orchestra (1) (2) (3) (4). Harry came to this institution from the Clooch School. He is always smiling, and he is rarely seen walking. The class does not boast a better mechanic or one-hand driver. Harry’s only weakness is a fondness for Somerville. He cla.sses the young women of that city far above any in Melrose, but he s ays “There’s a reason.” Although Harry has not been prominent in athletics, he has made up in school s])irit. Such a likeable fellow is sure to gain SUCCC.SS. HPILEN LOUISE EASSON Physical Education Leader (2) (3). We all know Helen as a good pal, always cheei ' ful and full of fun. Wc love her for the heljjful kindness she is so willing to show to her schoolmates. Helen is a girl who has found in every dark cloud its silver lining. Wo will always remember her for her kind deeds and smiling face. tMiat Helen is going to do in her future years wc do not know, but whatever it is wc know she will be successful.
