GENEVE P. Girls ' Club (3) (4); Basketball (1); Gym Team (1) Geneve, better known to us as “Neve” or “Briggy”, came to Melrose from Gloucester, just five years ago, and since that time she has made many friends both in- side school and out. Anyone who knows “Neve” at all, knows that she is a good sport, and always ready for some fun. During her Junior year, “Briggy” joined the Girls’ Club. Although she has not taken part in any athletics since her Freshman year when she plaved on the class basketball and gym teams. “Briggy” is a loyal booster of sports, and has been seldomly known to miss a game of any kind. “Briggy” is rather undecided as to what she intends to do after leaving the “Old Brick Pile,” but whatever she undertakes we wish her the best of luck and success. VIRGINIA BROWN “Gin me When I think of Virginia I also think of a violin, because after hearing her play I could not quickly for- get her. “Ginnie” fiddled her way into the orchestra in her freshman year and there remained. She spent three years with a membership in the Girls’ Club. We think “Ginnie’s” favorite study must have been Law, and she certainly was well versed in that subject. NORMA E. BRUCE Although she belongs to the class of ' 29 and has been, here only three years, she is to graduate and leave dear old M. H. S. for the great business world. You may always know her by a merry “Hi” or “Hello”. She has many “chains” of friends and “chains” to her mean true friendships. (Especially a certain one which she wears around her neck.) We Shall miss “Sandy” and we wish her the best of luck in the future.

MARION ROYA.JIAN Girls 1 Club (4); Two Vagabonds (4); Basketball Interclass (4). Marion entered M. H. S. in the fall of 1924 from the Gooch School. She became a member of the Girls’ Club during the past year and took part in the operetta, “The Two Vagabonds.” Marion is rather a quiet girl and is well liked by all her friends. She plans to enter the business world next fall and the class of ’28 wish her the best of success. MARTHA BOYAJIAN Nuntius (1) (2); Girls ' Club (4); The Two Vaga- bonds” (4); Basketball, Interclass (4); Thrift Council (2) (3) (4). This young lady has quietly gone her way thru high school, keeping her name on the credit and honor rolls, and doing extra work for Miss Waite. In her senior year Martha decided to have a fling at basketball, and came out of the fracas with a set of numerals. Perse- verence is a favorable characteristic of hers, and we feel sure that she will be a big success in business. ROBERT EEOYD BRIGGS, Ju. “Bob” “Ikon Man” Hl-Y (4); Boys ' Debating Club (4); Physical Educa- tion Leader (1); Track (4); Manager (4). Wherever you see “Bob”, you always see that smile for he takes it with him wherever he goes. “Bob” has reason to smile, for his manly beauty has caused many a feminine heart to flutter, in fact, “Bob” is one of tihe outstanding “shieks” of our class. “Bob” is also ad- dicted to flashy ties and dancing. “Bob” plans to enter Technology in the fall. Keep up the good work, “Bob”, and keep smiling.

Behold our noble hockey manager! Fred worked hard and efficiently in this capacity in his senior year with good results. He was a man to be relied upon when any of the various teams were to be transported to vari- ous cities. Fred is an apt debator and has played an important part in the life of the club. He has taken part in all interclass debates with great success. He and his inseparable pal, Fred Connors, are to he seen most any time driving around in the Nash sedan. JEANETTE BURNS “Tootik Girls ' Club (2) (3) (4); “ Mikado ” (2); Traffic Sguad (3) (4); Physical Education Leader (1) (2); Basketball (4) ; Class Team (3) (4); Field Hockey (3) (4); Gym Team (1). Jeanette’s interests have been mostly confined to sports, but she has also found time to partake in the Mikado, and Girls’ Club. She won two field Ihockey let- ters by her aggressive playing, besides making the var- sity basketball team in her senior year. “Tootie” has been a competent member of the traffic squad and has certainly made the freshies step lively. May you always keep the “will to win” which you have displayed in high school, Jeanette. Here is indeed one of our most quiet fellows. He goes his way disturbing no one and acquiring good marks. Perhaps John’s favorite subject is Bookkeeping — at least it is a subject which seems to interest him greatly. We would almost call him a woman-hater if it wasn’t for the fact that he was seen — o;h, well, we won ' t give you away this time, John, if you ' ll promise to be good in the future! He is undecided as to what he will do next year, but’ 28 sends her best wishes for success, John. .JOHN BURNHAM
