FRED T. BRYAN “Ripper” IH-Y (3) (4); Hoys ' Debatiny Club (2), Sergeant-at- Arms, (3), Vice President (4); Poetry Club (4); Musical (3) ; “ Two Vagabonds (4) ; Ice Hockey, Manager (4) Inter- class Debates (2) (3) (4); School Band (4); School De- bating Team (4). 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

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.

AUSTIN CARGILL “Austy From the faraway Lebanon St. comes this young- man. “Austie” has been attending our local educational center for four years and yet he has been so quiet that not many know him. But those of us that do are privileged. Some say that “Austie” rises with the sun in order to get to school on time, but he neither admits nor denies it. From the portals of M. H. S. “Austie” plans to enter into his business career. May his quest be fruitful. AMY L. CATTLE, Y “Camey Club (2) (3) (4) „ , „ - Poetry Club ( 4 ) ; “ Charm School (2); Orchestra (4); School Band (2) (3) (4). To Amy’s lot fell the arduous task of carrying the bass drum in the band. The foregoing statement may sound as though tinged with sarcasm, but it isn’t. If you don’t believe it, try it yourself and see how well IZ h e U ’ specially if ' Tina King is on the walloping end. Nevertheless, Amy got a lot of fun out of it, and the same can be said of her attitude toward all trying situations, even in Room 53! You know, Amy liked Chemistry so well she took it a second year, but the se- cret is out, much as she loved Cicero she refused to take a College Entrance Exam in it for fear people might find out bow much she knew about him, hence her sur- prising fortitude! Amy is going to Mt. Holyoke next year and it is a foregone conclusion that her never-sav- die spirit will carry her far.
