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!

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.

MARGARET FRANCES HATCH “Peggy” “Red” Physical Education Leader (1); Bowling (4); Librarian (4). Behold! “Peggie” Hatch, one of our popular, ambitiou , and lively classmates. “Peg” has the distinction of being a pretty strawberry blonde and is noted for her amu.sing ways. “Peggie” is one of the many who have signed up for the Masque and Wig, but she has not had a chance to show her talent in dramatics as yet. “Peggie” was on the bowling team for a while, but her unfortunate illnesses were such that she could not continue. If “Peg” will continue to be as ambitious in the life ahead we shall be very proud to claim her from Melro.se High IMARION ELIZABETH HILLS “Manny” Girls ' Club (4); Masque and Wig (2) (3) (4). Marion may be one of our more quiet members, but she has succeeded in becoming the third member of The Unholy Three. Marion has two outstanding talents. One is her ability as a dancer. Although she is very modest, she was soon found out during her freshman year and has since danced at several of the school functions. The other, the one she intends to follow, is her art. With her natural .skill and Miss Coyle’s able direction, Marion has turned out many very fine jjo.sters. This talent, as well as the other, has extended far beyond the “old brick jhle.” Next year Marion intends to enter Vesi)er George School to continue her art work. EMILY B. HODSDOX Girls ' Club (2) (3) (4). Nothing worries Emily whether it is flunking an examination or being haided to court for parking the “Mud Flivver” with- out lights. She never worries because she knows that in the end every thing will be all right. Her perpetual .smile, which is well known to her classmates, solves many of her difficulties. Her good nature has won for her many friends. Emiljq be it known, is our “Picture of Health.”
