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.

“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.

PAULINE COOKSON “Polly” always has some important news to tell but she always thinks of it in a classroom, which ex- plains her numerous sessions. Polly has not entered any sports in school, but has spent much time on a bowling team, which she captained during her senior year. For two years she has been in the Girls’ Club and although not taking an active part she has en’oyed the meetings greatly. Best of luck in the future Polly. Helen is one of our most amiable classmates. She came to us from New Bedford in December of our first memorable year in M. H. S. Helen has served faithfully on the Social Committee of the Girls’ Club and has worked hard as manager of the basketball team. She plans to attend “Prep” school next year and from there Simmons College to take up household economics, in which we all know she will be a success. AGNES ELIZABETH COYE “Aeon This smiling young lady entered M. H. S. from the Washington Grammar School in the fall of ’24. “Aggie” is quite tall and whenever you see her you will be sure to find her pal “Shorty” somewhere near. “Aggie” is taking the Secretarial Course and is quite an expert typist. She can also tickle the ivories to perfection. In school Agnes is rather quiet but for good company and fun she can’t be beat. We arei sure she will be suc- cessful in all she undertakes and we wish her the best of luck.
