CATHERINE FELT “Kitty” Girls’ Club (2) (3) (4); Euclidean Society (3) 14); French Club (4). Catherine, commonly called “Kitty”, despite the fact that her name is spelled with a “C”, is one of our quiet young misses. At least that is the impression she gives those who don’t know her very well, but her friends have discovered that she hasn’t that dimple for nothing, and that any party she attends is sure to be a success. She is also a great sport-lover and although she doesn’t par- ticipate herself, she not only attends all the games, but can tell you, no matter what the season or sport, just where Melrose stands in relation to the other members of the leagues, and how many more games will win the championship for us. Kitty is headed for Mount Hol- yoke, and we hope she will have as much success there as at good old M. H. S. OLIVE MAY FLINT Girls ' Club (2) (3) (4); Membership Committee (4); Pro et Con (1). Olive is one of those folks of whom people say, “Isn’t she rather quiet and reserved?” And how sur- prised they are sometimes when you say, “Why she’s just full of fun!” But she is; just get those eyes to twinkling and you’ll have her off in a spasm of giggles and joke-making. While she is not one of our extreme- ly athletic girls, she is an enthusiastic supporter of all the games and can always be found shivering or melting, according to the season and the sport, and cheering her- self hoarse for good old M. H. S. . In fact, she says she doesn’t want to go to a girls’ college but rather a co-ed school so that she can keep on going to football games. Well, we wish her luck and plenty of games wherever she goes in life. MARY M. FRANKLIN Girls’ Club (2) Vice President (3) President (4) ; Euclidean Society (3) (4); French, Club (3) (4); Junior Prom Committee (3) ; Traffic Squad (3) (4) ; Field Hockey (4) Manager; Class Day Committee. Of Mary it is safe to say that everyone- who knows her likes her — and everyone knows her. She is not an athlete, but she supports all the sports, and this year she managed the Field Hockey team. She belongs to the Euclidean and French Clubs, as well as to the Girls’ Club, Of which she was vice-president last year; during her Senior year she has been, in a way in which no one- else could have been, Girls’ Club president. Next year Mary goes to Lowthorpe to study landscape architecture. We know that she will have all success and that others will find her as we have, a girl worth knowing and a true-blue friend.

19 iSPOTtro MARGARITE CUMMINGS “Pkc;c;y” President of Civics Class (1); Girls’ Club (2) (3) (4); Masque and Wig (2) (3) (4); Poetry Club, Secretary (4). “Peggy is one of our smallest members; in fact she might almost be taken for a freshman (horrors!) at a first glance. She has had to lose some of her senior year because her appendix didn ' t fit, or had a fit, or something like that. She has been a most capable sec- retary in the Poetry Club, and has added the Girls’ Club and Masque and Wig to her activities. “Peg” we feel sure, will be a real, competent secretary for some one. LEONA DARRAH Leona landed in Melrose High School from that far famed institution, the Franklin School, in the fall of 1924. She took the Secretarial course and expects to be a secretary. My can’t she take dictation — and she makes a perfect copy of a letter every time! “Lee’’ was honored by being chosen to represent her stenogra- phy class at a prize contest for Chandler students at R. U. RUTH A. CUMMINGS Girls’ Club (3) (4); Euclidean Society (3) (4); Phys- ical Education Leader (1). Allow us to present 5-foot-3 of sunshine, one who has a cheerful smile and a hearty greeting for all. Ruth is a puzzle to her closest friends, being one of those few and fortunate mortals who can be peppy and prudent; who can laugh, love and be merry; and who can hold the admiration of all. She has the distinc- tive reputation of never losing her temper. Ruth has been called the girl with the shining eyes and golden smile. In our chest of M- H. S. memories we want to keep Ruth in mind as a sincere friend, a loyal church worker, and a beloved classmate. To her success in life we lift our glasses in unison, and may the bubbles that we spill bring good luck along her way.

A. JOHN GARDNER “Johnny” “Red” Euclidean Society (3) (4); Football (1) (2). “Johnny” is one of the few in the class who is gifted with red hair. John hails from the Highlands, and like others from there is very bright, but not only because of his hair. When he graduated from Franklin School in ’24, he was one of the smallest of the class, not so now. John has proven himself a good student and we feel sure that he will be successful (in his col- lege career at Boston University. RALPH W. GERRY Nun tins (2); Hi-Y (4) When Ralph entered M. H. S., along with other members of the last class to graduate from the Franklin School, he did so with the intention of entering some institution of higher learning. During his Sophomore year he decided on Amherst. However, before the Junior year had come to an end he had changed his mind in favor of Boston University. At the present time he is undecided as to whether it will be the College of Liberal Arts or Business Administration. Which ever it may be, Ralph, our wish for the best of good luck goes with it. ELISABETH P. GILE “Betty” “Lib” “Libby” Girls ' Club (2) (3) (4); Physical Education Leaden (3); Boa-liny (4). “Libby” graduated from the Washington School and entered Melrose High with the rest of the meek freshmen. “Libby” is one of the liveliest members of the Class. She has been a member of the Girls’ Club for three years and is a faithful supporter of all school ac- tivities. Her chief ambition is to go to Maine where she can cheer for Hebron. There is quite an attraction for her at this “prep” school. “Libby” intends to join the working class next year and with her goes the best wishes of the class of ’28.
