PAUL CNIRKE French Club (4). Paul lias always been rather a (luiet fellow in classes. He came to us from the famous Lincoln School. Paul says that French is one of his favorite studies and it would .seem so, for he has been a member of the newly formed French Club this year. Ineidentalh ' we migiht mention the fact that for a time we thought he had deserted us, since he decided to leave M. H. S. this year, but after a short time he was back with us again. Next year Paul expects to be a working man and attend night school where he will have our best wishes for .success. CRETCHEN GROVESTEIX “Greteh” Girh ' Club C.i) (4); Basketball (.4) (4), Captain (4). “Greteh” is quiet, but we must realize that she is always striving to keep her dignity. However, hard as she might try, she falters when she hears the numbers SO to (5. This was the score of the first basketball game in her freshman year. Since then she has majored in basketball and this year, as cajitain, her efforts have kept the scores of the ojiposing teams considerably lower than in that first game. “Greteh” has won many friends because of her jileasant disposition, and we hope that she will gain many more as she continues her studies at Miss Pierce’s Secretarial School. EDITH A. HAIXES “Edie” “Ede” Ed” “Hainesey” “Pickles” Mayor of Civics Class (1). Hello “Hainsic!” Aren’t you thrilled? This little girl started her high school career in the fall of 1(123, with a laugh and a chuckle, that never failing characteristic of good-natured “Edie.” Probably this is the cause of tier success in getting rides to and from .school with a certain young man of tlie senior class who favors her with his admiring glances. Poor little “Edie” never misses a day of school unless she wishes to go to a fair or some- thing of the like, when we preeeive that she becomes suddeidv ill. “Edie” has held certain positions of distinction such as reigning as ( ueen for three years in an organization of which she is a member, and also of holding the famous office of Mayor of the Civics Class in her freshman year.

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.

KENDALL BROOKS HARRIS “Ken” “Lnlu” Football (4); Baseball (2) (3) (4); Ice Hockey (3). “Ken” has struggled through four strenuous years of high school with more interest in atliletics than in studies. But he reached tlie honor mark in sports as a three letter man. Girls, gaze upon our future movie hero. “Lulu” is following Red Grange’s footste])s, for he juggles ice as a summer pastime. If “Lulu” goes into the cinema world, with his good looks and romantic iiersonality, he will attain heights hitherto unimagined. At the ]nesent, however, it looks rather doubtful whether “Ken” will leave Melrose. A magnetic influence draws him con- tinually to the East Side. MILDRED .1. HARRIS “Milly” French Club (4); Orchestra (1) (2) (4). “Milly” is one of our dignified members, especially as she is one of the very few who started to let their hair grow and had the courage to “stick”. “Milly” plays a fiddle, sings and dances, anti to those who know her well, she’s a show in herself. This young woman plans to be a dignified “school inarm” when her formal education is over. It’s hard to imagine her in this role, but as she always finishes what she attemiits, we are sure that in a few years from now, she’ll be the domineering figure in one of these “little red schoolhouses”. “Milly” is a member and officer of the Rainbow. There’s lots more that could be said, but as siiace does not permit, we’ll just wish “Milly” the best of luck in her chosen profession and in all other enterprises that she may undertake. FLORENCE G. HASKELL “Fido” Girls’ Club (4); Boirlmg (Manager), (4). Weil here conies “Fido”, the girl you’d know anywhere with that sweet smile. “Flossie” came to us in her freshman year h-om Girls’ High. At first she was oh — so shy; but once she got started, — well, — you know her now. You can always recognize Florence; she’s tlie M. H. S. girl with the million dollar smile. .Slie is very active in Rainbow circles, filling a very imiiortant position. Those who know about her work, know tl at .she jicrforms her duties to a “T.” We have heard it said that Florence may be a member of the Bryant and Stratton School next year. ‘ Well time does fly so we’ll just have to leave Florence — .still smiling!
