“Ski” Clements entered Melrose High after grad- uating from the Gooch School in 19 24. He has always been popular throughout the school and was elected to the cla a s Presidency by a large majority in the Junior year. He is a first class basketball player, chosen by his teammates as captain for the past season. Ralph plans to go to the “Y” College at Springfield where he will undoubtedly train to be a Coach. He is one of 28’s two pair of twins. He has always been more or less of a happy-go-lucky fellow with an attractive personality, ex- celling in all physical activities. CATHERINE E. CLEMONS “Kitty” Kitty needs no introduction to the members of M. H. S. As you all probably know she came to Mel- rose from Wakefield in her Freshman year, immediately making friends which have lasted throughout her high school career. “Kitty” has always been one of our most cheerful and peppy members, making loads of fun wherever she goes. Although “Kay” is a member of Girls’ Club and Rainbow her attendance of an evening is usual- ly limited to 8.00 p. m. when a certain roadster is known to be waiting outside. As a final statement we shall sim- ply have to classify her as another one of those snappy blondes that gentlemen prefer. LAURA BOOTH COBLEIGH “Laura” Girls’ Club (4); “Two Vagabonds’’ (4); Basketball, Class Team (1) (2) (3) (4); Field Hockey (4); Girls ' Gym Team (1). Laura has gone thru high school dipping lightly into athletics, and other activities, getting good marks, and, best of all, keeping her sunny disposition. She was one of the proud members of the junior basketball team, and she had a good reason to be — after helping to beat the fast senior group and thus securing her numer- als. Laura joined the Girls’ Club in her senior year and was one who could be depended on when help was needed.

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.

WARREN D. COLLINS “Collie” Track (3) (4). Warren entered old M. H. S. as a very scared and green freshman. He has overcome this difficulty, how- ever, and become a real dignified Senior. Warren is a member of the local order of De Molay and has held an office in that organization the past year. Warren likes to play baseball and although he has not gone out for athletics during his high school career, he may be seen playing ball near his heme during his spare time He expects to enter the business world next year and we wish him success. PRElI) CONNORS “Freddie” School Band (4). Fred isn’t a very noisy fellow in a crowd, but that doesn’t mean that he is a shrinking violet. He is just slightly reserved. He entered the class of ’28 from St. Mary’s School. Fred is well-known and well-liked by most of the student body, and his ever-present wiit, along with his ability to get along with people has made his company pleasing to all who know him. Fred ha s a faculty of “getting what he goes after.” That is a sure sign of success. Here’s hoping that the “breaks” come your way, Fred! EDGAR COOK “Cookie “Cookie” is a worker. He had to be as assistant manager and manager of the football team and a mem- ber of the business staff of “School Life” at the same time. “Cookie” started out his freshman year by singing in “Pinafore” and in his senior year he assisted in “The Two Vagabonds.” Edgar intends to continue his studies at Boston LTniversity next year where he is sure to make a name for ' himself by his willingness to help at any time.
