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.

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.

GLEN D. FULLER lli-Y Club (3) (4); Eiiclidean Socidy (4); Physical Educa- tion Leader (4); Football (4); Basketball (3) (4); Assembly Com- mittee (4). Tliis good humored young husky, one of the “Three Muske- teers” (Johnnie, Doug and Glen), hails from a small country town known as Orange, Mass, where he received his early schooling. He moved to Melrose to enter the freshman class at the “oF brick pile.” Glen is one of the class’s most success- ful bidders and he has many victims (chiefly the weaker (?) sex). Glen has played on the football squad all four years and got his basketball letter for two years. His future ])lans are not yet formulated although he contemplates attending the Wentworth Institute. ALMA M. GABRIEL “Al” Eudidcan Society (3) (4); Physical Education Leader (2) (3) 14). Mma came to us from the Lincoln School from which she graduated in June 1923. Alma has found her time so taken up between her books and her boy friends that she could find no time for athletics. However, don’t think Alma isn’t a sport, for those who know her find that she is a good one. Alma doesn’t know what she will do after graduation, but she will probably go to work until she meets the right man Oh! sure, .she will get married. She doesn’t look like an old maul and ' although she says she never will get married, we bet she does. Every ' class has its Alma Mater, but every class isn’t lucky enough to have an Alma Martha. ANTHONY GIOVINO “Tony” Class Treasurer (4); Year Book (4); Hi-Y Club (3) (4), Chairman Athletic Committee (4); Traffic Syuad (4); Football (3) Captain (4); Baseball (3) (4); Basketball (3) (4), Behold this “long drink of water”, the young man whj) captained this year’s chamiiionship football team. Since “Tony” came to high school from the Gooch, he has starred in all kinds of athletics, being a three letter man in football, basketball and baseball. As “guardian of the class funds” he has done another good job, and through his efforts the class treasury has been keiit in good condition. “Tony” may look quiet in this picture, but he turned out to be one of the class “punners”. “Caji’s” happy following is not confined to the high school, as he is the hero ‘of many youngsters at the Livermore School, where he plays traffic coji every day after school. Best wishes to “Cap,” one of the best sports in ’27.
