JOHN FALBY “Sticky” “Johnny” Hi- Y Club (3) (4); Traffic Squad (4). Since John entered M. II. S. in ’23, he has grown both poi)iilar and extrem ely tall. The girl.s, fully as well as boys, appreciate his merry, laughing countenance. John has made Ins mark as a “regular fellow”, always cheerful, even under shadow of afternoon se.ssions and 1 to 1.30’s. After he studies a vear at “prej)” school he plans to enter Wesleyan College at Middletown, Conn. We know that wherever John goes he will I c a credit to M. II. S. VI ' lLMA FARIUN Girls Club (3) (4). We have in Velma a most i)lea.sing i)uzzle. One never knows what she is going to do until she has done it. However, we have a little advance information this time. California won Velma’s heart last summer and claims her this year forever. We don ' t blame the Sunny State for wanting this eastern beautj’. nor can we censiire Velma when we think of that Chrysler Sport awaiting her there. Prior to her departure Velma is petitioning the aldermen to change the name of our fair city to Melville. FVELYN MAE FERXALD “Evey” “Spud” Girls’ Club (4). Evelyn came to M. H. S. four years ago from hlorida. During her high school career .she has been rather quiet and has not taken part in many of the school activities. She is a willing worker and is always ready to hclj) out when she can. Evelyn’s specialty is the designing of clothes and the arranging of gardens; so she expects to enter some school where such work is taught.

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.

lUCIIAKD W. FLAXDERJ “Dick” Tennis (4). “Dick” graduated from the Livemore Scliool in ’23 and that same year he entered Dummer Academy where he studied for one year. He entered M. H. S. in the sophomore class. He has been very successfid in his studies. “Dick” also shows up well when it comes to distance running. Where he really shines, though, is at tennis. He was a runner-u]) in last year’s tourna- ment, and this sjjiing he played on the school team which has been most successful. VERONICA ANASTASIA FOLEY “Sonny” “Wonnie” This smiling blonde is very popular among her classmates, and you can all see why. “Wonnie” ha.s one fault, her persistent u.se of the phrase “and he” (“Andy”), but we all have our faults. “Wonnie” .spends her spare time in Wakefield. She says she is going to waste shoe leather looking for a job. We all hope 3 ' ou will soon find a position, “Sonny,” and remember we all wish you much happiness in the future. VIRGINIA F. FRENCH “Ginnie” “Gin” Year Book (4); Girls Club (3) (4); Masque and Wig (4). “Ginnie” is certainly one of our most demure and niquant seniors. She is an artist of great note, and drawing prize pos- ters is her pet diversion. Although “Ginnie” loves poster drawing she also likes silvcrmonej’— Nicholspreferred. “Ginnie” is going to attend Boston Normal Art next j ' ear in hopes that she may rise tb great heights in her chosen work. Good luck “Ginnie.” You have the best wishes of jmur clas.smatcs for a happy future.
