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.”

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!

ROBERT HUCKIXS “Bob” “Hack” Hi-Y Club (4); Euclidean Society (3) (4); Tennis (3) (4); Asseynbly Committee (4). Here we have another “regular feller” of the class of ’27. “Bob” is always full of fun and ready with a humorous remark. Coming from the Franklin School he has set up a good scholastic record in Melrose High. But he “shines” .best as a player of Mile. Lenglen’s favorite pastime, in which he is second to none, d ' his is his second season on the school team. Although not one of the real ladies’ men of the class “Bob” has been seen occa- sionally in other than masculine comi any. Next year he jdans to attend Exeter Academy and then enter that i)opular college in Hanover, N. H. DOROTHY L. IlfTSE “Dimpy” “Dot” Girls ' Club (3) (4); Orchestra (1) (2) (3) (4). “Dimpy” is short for ' ‘Dimple”, and she is such a cheerful little body that the name is well applied. Those lovely natural waves are the envy of all us poor females afflicted with straight, lanky hair. Dimpy’s talents run along musical lines and she is particularly skillful in the use of the fidd le and bow. Besides being a member of our own high school orchestra, Dimpy is in the Melrose Orche.stral Association, an honor to make any one proud. MILDRED HUTCHINSON “Hooch” “Milly” “Moo-Moo” Who is there in the class of ’27 who will forget the good- natured “Milly” who has smiled and smiled, taken afternoon sessions and afternoon sessions, and continues to smile? Even the teachers will agree that four years of such sessions have not dulled that smile. Milly has a most agreeable disposition. There is one and only one way to get her cross. Say something about her favorite teacher. Saj ' it, but prepare for action. There is one thing that “Milly” thinks less of than a boy. That is two boys. She seems to be able to tolerate one, however, if his name happens to be the same as hers. Mildretl intends to become a stenographer and if her future may be judged by her jiast she is sure to be a success.
