Here is one of our apparently quiet members, but those who know Ila will agree that she has a lively disposition and is always ready for fun. Ila hasn’t participated in many school activities because most of her time was taken up with drawing and bowling. Ila intends to enter the business world next year and we all wish her the best of success. ALICE It. CJUR NETT “Ai. Girls’ Club (2) (3) (4); Pro et Con (1); Masque and Wig (3) (4); French Club (3); Poetry Club (4); “Mi- kado” (2); “ What Men Live By,” Chorus (3); The ' Goose Hangs High” (3); “ The Two Vagabonds (4); Physical Education Leader (2) (3). Although Alice has lived in Melrose for several years, coming to Melrose High from the Livermore School, she claims Chicago as her native city, of which fact she is exceedingly proud. She. is an enthusiastic member of the Masque and Wig Society, is greatly in- terested in art, and can be counted on to take part in any funmaking, whether it be joining the “lecture gang” (and drawing pictures of the lecturers) or arranging unusual birthday celebrations. “Al” is very original and has something to add to any discussion under way. She is planning to enter Radcliffe in September and we all feel sure that with her happy disposition she will make hosts of friends “across the Charles.” JOHN G. HAINES, JR. “Jack” “Gib ' Jack attained the honor, in his senior year, of be- ing the first president of the Poetry Club. This newly- organized club sprang into prominence this year with a list, of promising poets. In his freshman year, “Gib” made a good P. E. leader. His favorite subject was Commercial Law which he could “expound and expati- ate” with amazing rapidity. Many were the Haines vs. Boynton debates on the proper law for a certain case. We may have a future lawyer of note in our midst, who knows?

Ever since “Fran” entered M. H. S. four years ago, she has proven herself to be a brilliant scholar, and un- tiring worker, and above all, a devoted friend. She is willing to do anything and does that which she under- takes well. As tasks come pouring in, “Frannie” lias sometimes wished that she could learn to say “No”. In her Junior year as president of the French Club she carried this organization through a very successful sea- son. She has done fine work throughout the year as literary editor of School Life, and as secretary of the Girls’ Club. “Fran” is planning to go to Wellesley next fall where we feel sure She will continue her good work. We all wish you the best of success “Fran”. FERGUS LAURENCE FARRELL “Fkrgie” “Duke” Boys’ Debating Chib (1) (2) (4). HELEN E. FELLOWS “Km” Girls’ Club (3) (4); Orchestra (2) (3) (4), violin; Physical Education Leader (4). Helen has been with us for several years. Having- graduated from the Livermore School she entered the Old Brick Pile as a Freshman. Helen, known as “Kid” to her friends, has a jolly disposition and a great many friends. She is of a genial personality and always ready for fun. She is planning to train for a nurse and we all wish her the best of success in her profession. “Fergie,” that pleasant, grinning Highlander, came to us from St. Mary’s School as a very small and inno- cent Freshman. Now see him! Six feet! “Fergie’s” favorite study is U. S. History, from which he cannot be separated (so it seems!). He is a very efficient caddy, spending all his spare time at the links. No one will deny that he is a woman-hater, although at present he is struggling desperately to master the popular art of dancing! We all hope he will succeed in this and in everything else he takes up.

THOMAS HANNIGAN “Tom” “Tim” “Slim We hardly know wliat to say about “Tom”, he is so quiet. But we doubt if the people who really know would say this is true. “Tom” ca me to us from ' the Franklin School and since his entrance here he has al- ways supported school activities although he took part in none. We are uncertain as to just what Tom is going to take up in the future, but whatever it is, he has with him the best of wishes of the class of ’28. Florence has been wearing a very pretty diamond on her left hand which, we judge, has some special significance. When is it to happen, Florence? We have come to the conclusion that much of this maiden’s time is spent in doing her English homework, if her perfect- ly constructed papers are any proof. Best wishes for a happy future, “Flossie”. DOROTHY HANCOCK “Dot” (1 iris ' Club (2) (3) (4); Pro cl Con (2); Mas ' uc and Wig (3) (4); Euclidean Society (3); Orchestra (3). We congratulate “Dot” on the fact that she was one of the few who decided to let her hair grow and then did not change her mind. “Dot” believes in clubs, as pro- motors of school life, as was evident when she became a member of three of our most prominent ones. Her great- est weakness seems to be her over-indulgence of whis- pering. Numerous sessions have been meted out to “Dot” as a result, but these, as all other troubles, she takes with a cheerful grin.
