Lie is proud to say that lie has never missed a day since that time. Bill is a good fiddler, and has played with the M. H. S. Orchestra for four years. Always a laughable and likeable fellow, he is very popular among his classmates. He is interested in scientific lines, and plans to enter M. I. T. next fall. We wish you luck, “Bill.” F. EL WOO I) ALLMON Peanut,” “Ellie” Baseball 1; C lass Day Committee 4; Football 1; Hockey 1. 2, 3, 4; Tennis 2 All hail the Californian ! This young gentleman came to us five years ago from that Golden State beyond the Rockies. Because of his diminutive size, we should not underestimate his ability. Ellie” is a fair student of academic subjects, but a better student of the opposite sex. He is well-known for his jovial nature and his bright outlook on life. No matter how hard things may be for him he always has a laugh or joke for everyone. As an athlete, he tried a little bit of everything during his Freshman year, but took a dislike for everything except hockey. And how that boy can play hockey ! Though he is not colorful he is very effective on a team. “Ellie” concluded his High School career by achieving his great ambition of being elected an “All-Scholastic Hockey Player.” MARGARET G. ALVAR 1) “Peggy,” Junie” Euclidean 4: Girls ' Club 3, 4; Traffic Squad 3, 4 When this charming young lady entered the “old brain fac- tory” four years ago, she was a demure little Freshman. She was soon taken in hand by willing upper classmen, who desired to help her. “Junie” was quite an active member on the Welfare Committee of the Girls’ Club this year. As Peggy desires to be a librarian, she is going to Middlebury College next year. Good luck, Peg, and watch out for the college boys! OLIVE ANDERSON “Andy” A pretty little miss came to us in her Freshman year from the Washington School. During the four years she has spent with us, she has won a great many friends by her charming per- sonality and keen sense of humor. “Andy” is the life of any party for it is impossible to remain solemn with such a comedian near one. She plans to be a stenographer and we congratulate the lucky firm who procures her. There’s a certain someone who occupies a lot of Olive’s time and we can understand her pref- erence for “Packards.” THE LOG MARTHA ATWOOD Euclidean 4; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Orchestra 2; Traffic Squad 4 Martha, because of her sweet personality and happy disposi- tion, lias become one of our most popular girls. Her beautiful completion and curly blond hair arouse the admiration of the hoys and the envy of the girls. She is a member of the Girls’ Club and has been on the Induction Team for the last two years. Martha intends to enter Smith College next year. We wish her the best of luck, and know that whatever she does she will be a credit to M. H. S. EDITH BAILEY “Edie” Masque and II if 2, 3. 4; “ Count and the Cold 4 This diminutive member of our class came to- Melrose High from the Lincoln School in ' 25. By her happy and cheerful disposition Edie” won her way into the hearts of all her class- mates. Although she did some studying, she could think of lots nicer things to do, and we notice that she never lacked a male attendant at any school affair. Edie” could always be found in Room 13 working out some new pattern for a dress. We don’t know whether she is planning to be a designer or not, but we wish her the best of success in whatever she decides to do. RITA E. BALCOM Bella,” “Peanuts” Girls ' Club 3, 4 Peanuts” is one of the quiet members of our class, but if there is any fun going on she will be sure to be in on it. In her four years here, although she hasn’t taken part in any athletics, she has been one of the royal rooters at most of our games. Al- though “Bella” is known to a good many of her friends as a very good dancer, she will enter the business world next June. We see a bright future for her no matter what she undertakes. RUTH BANCROFT Class Day Committee 4; Euclidean 4; French Club 3, 4; Vice-President 4; Girls ' Club 2, 3, 4; Traffic Squad 4 Ruth entered High School after graduating from the Roose- velt School in 1 ( 26. She is very popular and is liked by every one. Her sunny disposition is outstanding and has gained for her many friends. During the last year she has been very active and has worked extremely hard in the Girls’ Club, being Chair- man of the Program Committee. She was also Vice-President ot the French Club. Next year Ruth hopes to enter Simmons College and we all know that she will be a success there as she was in High School. ELIZABETH BAVTER Betty” Basketball Manager 4; Euclidean 3, 4; Secretary 4; French Club 4; Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; Corresponding Secretary 4; Masque and Wig 4; Traffic Squad 4 Betty came to us from the Washington School. Although to some she seems dignified and reserved, she is one of the jolliest girls in the class. It’s no shy and solemn girl who can imperson- ate a crook and a right clever one, too ! Perhaps her greatest talent is in English. She rarely writes an English theme which is not perfect, — so we’ve heard said. Yet who would believe it! Someone once asked her if she could write English. Betty is a good worker and a good sport. She aspires to go to Welles- ley next fall. Best of luck, Betty, and be sure you don ' t over- sleep at Wellesley. There they may not allow you to walk into examinations three-quarters of an hour late. RUTH F. BAYLISS ‘■Wally” Girls ' Club 2, 3, 4; Masque and IV ig 4; Nuntius 1; She Stoops to Conquer” 4; Tennis 2 Ruth gives the impression of being rather quiet to those who do not know her very well. However, her friends have discov- ered that she has not got that roguish look in her eyes for noth- ing. She can usually be found on a tennis court during the summer vacation preparing to serve on the M. H. S. tennis team. Her willing and sympathetic nature probably explains her desire to become a nurse. In this profession we feel sure that she will succeed and that her many new friends will find her as we have, a girl worth knowing and a faithful pal. CONSTANCE W. BENNET “Connie” Euclidean 3, 4 ; President 4; French Club 3, 4; President 4; Masque and IV ig 4 “Connie” came to High School with a reputation for fine scholarship, and she has certainly maintained this high standard. She has an unusual talent for speaking, and although she hasn’t entered into school dramatics to any great extent, she has won many admirers from her fine performances outside of school. “Connie” has many friends because of her complete naturalness. A proof of her popularity is her election to the presidency of both the Euclidean and French Clubs. She has two weaknesses: one is brown eyes, the other is hands. She has often been heard to declare that hands are most expressive, so, boys, when “Connie” comes in sight, stick your mits in your pockets or she’ll read your character like a book. We feel sure, “Connie,” that you’ll succeed at Wellesley, and make the home-town folks sit up and take notice ! SYDNEY BERKMAN “Svd,” “S” Hockey Manager 4 Four years ago “Sid” doffed the Orange and Black of the Gooch School to render his services to M. H. S. S” spent his first three years studying and making us laugh. This past year however, he became serious and was elected trainor, doctor, and manager of the hockey team. He had much to do with the suc- cess of the team, but remained unhonored and unsung. “Sid’s” ability is not limited to managing; he has been a faithful worker in everything he has undertaken and a sure friend. “We’re not sure whether or not “Syd” is returning, next year as a P. G., but whatever he does, we know he will succeed. Good luck, “Syd!” THE LOG GILMAN N. BICKFORD “Gil” Traffic Squad 4 “Gill” is another retiring young man, seldom seen near the girls and very bashful. Like all the rest of the quiet boys, he has done a good job with his studies. Gill” entered Melrose High from the Roosevelt School as a much bewildered Freshman in 1926; although he has not been prominent in sports he has had an interest in all our teams and has helped cheer them on to vic- tory. We hear “Gill” has an interest in aviation. It’s a won- derful science, “Gill,” and we wish you the best of success in vour chosen career. 1IAZFL R. BLAISDEL1 Girls ' Club 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Count and the Coed, 4; Riding Down the Sky 3 In her Junior year. Hazel entered this institution of learning from Malden High. She studied hard but not without results. Hazel has a good contralto voice; she has sung in two school operettas and various other entertainments. She has shown her ability in bookkeeping by her work for Mr. Boynton. Almost every afternoon during the past year she could be found either doing work for Mr. Boynton in Room 59 or practising for some operetta in the hall. Her love for children is shown in her church work with them and in the fact that she plans to attend Leslie School where we know she will succeed. RUTH BRADY “Rufus” Cloak and Plume 1 ; Girls’ Club 2. 3. 4; ‘‘Two Vagabonds 3 Ruth is one of the most “up-to-date” and congenial mem- bers of the Senior Class. She came to M. H. S. from the Wash- ington School four years ago and, although greatly handicauped by a serious illness her Sophomore year, she has always been right on the job.” Ruth has taken a great interest in athletics and has made a name for herself through her exceptional swim- ming ability. We do not know just what Ruth intends to do in future years, but we wish her all the success in the world. BETH E. BRIGGS Betty,” “Jiggs” Cloak and Plume 1; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Count and the Coed, 4; “ Riding Dozen the Sky, 3 Beth is one of our prominent members that entered the Freshman Class four years ago from the Roosevelt School. She is always ready to help any one needing her aid and cheerfully goes about her tasks at school. She sure is just one jolly girl : wherever there is a group of girls laughing she will nearly al- ways be found at the center of it. Always interested in cooking and sewing, Beth plans to go to North field Seminary next year to study Domestic Science. We hope your studies will prove profitable, Betty. CHARLES P. BROOKS “Charlie” Baud 2, 3 ; Orchestra 2, 3 “Charlie” came to Melrose High at the beginning of our Sophomore year from Somerville. He has not taken part in any athletics, but has given loyal support to the various interests of M. H. S. “Charlie’s” High School career has been rather un- eventful and consequently many of us do not know him, yet he makes a good friend when you become acquainted with him. We do not know what “Charlie” intends to do next year, but whether he continues his schooling or enters the business world, we wish him the best of luck. EUNICE E. BRYER “Eunie” Euclidean 3, 4; French Club 3, 4; Girls ' Club 2, 3, 4; Traffic Squad 4 Eunice, generally known as “Eunie,” to her friends, entered her Freshman year from the Roosevelt School to prepare her- self for Vassar. She has always been interested in athletics, es- pecially football and hockey — just why? She has done well in her studies, especially chemistry, which she expects to major in at college. If you have ever been by her house and heard some suspicious noises, don’t worry, for it was probably only Eunice playing industriously on her “sax.” Whatever she does we know that she will meet with as much success as she has had at M. H. S. We all wish you the best of luck, Eunice ! LAURA BURKE “Lolly” Girls ' Club 3, 4; Glee Club 3, 4; “Count and the Coed ” 4; “Riding Down the Sky ” 3 “Lolly” entered M. H. S. from the Roosevelt School in 1926, and has made many friends by her cheerful smile and live- liness in class. Even though many of her classmates have to look up to her, she does not “high hat” them. Never mind, “Lolly,” there are advantages in being tall. We wish you a happy future in whatever line you pursue. DOROTHY A. BURNHAM “Dot” Girls ' Club 2, 3, 4 Just as Dot was beginning to enjoy the importance of being an eighth grader in the Washington School, she graduated and when she entered Melrose High, she continually envied the upper classmen. It seems Dot is always looking up and plodding on for now that she has reached the end of her senior year she is planning to complete her education in a Training School for Nurses in order to be of greater service in administering to others. Because of Dot’s ability and determination, we give her our sincerest wishes for success. OLIVER E. BUTLER “Oil ie” Band 2, 3, 1; Glee Club 4; Orchestra 4; Track Squad 2, 3 “Ollie” came to the “old brain factory” from the Lincoln School in 1926. After sleeping; through many classes he finally woke up enough to establish a reputation as a woman hater. However, we notice that he does some of his hating at close range. (Ask the Freshmen). When he gets out of M. H. S. he intends to go to flying school. 41 is greatest ambition is to put Lindbergh in the background. Happy landings ! DANIEL CADIGAN “Dan” Glee Club 3, 4; Orchestra 3. 4; Count and the Coed 4; Riding Dozen the Sky 3 “Dan” entered M. H. S. as a Freshman in 1926 from the Roosevelt School. Since then he has become popular among his fellow classmen. “Dan” is known for his good natured disposi- tion and willingness to help a friend. He is a good scholar and we know he will make good in whatever he tries next year, al- though he hasn’t announced his plans as yet. “Dan” did not go in for athletics, but he gave the teams his heartiest support. Good luck, Dan,” and may you brighten the atmosphere wherever you go with that sunny disposition of yours. JOHN M. CAKAK ATSANOS Basketball 2, 3: Euclidean 4; French Club 3; Baseball 1 ; Nuntius 1 Among the F reshies” from the Lincoln was “Johnny,” a good-looking, quiet, young fellow, well up in his studies. He remained in oblivion the first three years, just plugging along. Then came the Senior year and “Johnny came into the lime- light with his ever-present smi le and laugh. He plugged hard that year, for he was preparing for Tufts, which meant those mean college entrance exams. An industrious fellow outside, he had little chance for school athletics. May you have the best of success, Johnny” ! MARGARET HELEN CARNEY “Peg” Debating Club 4; Girls ' Club 3, 4; Thrift Council 4: Cheer Leader 4 One of the snappiest, peppiest girl cheer leaders M. H. S. has ever known — that is “Peg.” In 1926 Peg” entered Melrose High School from St. Mary ' s School witli another “Peg.” “Peg’ excels in dancing and has spent some time in teaching a certain “towhead” this indoor sport. Bowling is another one of her accomplishments. After graduating “Peg” intends to be some luck man’s secretary. We wish her success in all she undertakes. Good luck, “Peg” ! HENRY R. CATTLEY “Hen,” “Cat” Euclidean 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4; Traffic Squad 4 Henry came to M. H. S. from the Washington School along with the other little Freshmen. He is very ambitious and likes to make acquaintances with anyone. Although some of us know very little about the theories of Einstein, Henry has been able to explain them to us. He has been known to the pupils of the school as “Einstein the Great.” Henry expects to enter Tufts Engineering School or Northeastern in 1931. We wish you the best of luck, Henry. • � ) ERNEST CHARD “Ernie” Ernie peragrated to the “Brick Pile” from the Roosevelt School from which he graduated in 1926 as President of his class. One of his first accomplishments after entering Melrose High was that of mastering the technique of oratory, which, in fact, has lead him to a place in the Masque and Wig Society, and consequent acting, having starred for the last three years in that Society’s production. In contrast to this activity, we are reminded of his grea interest in baseball, and although it is his favorite sport, he has had insufficient time to pursue it to the extent of his desires due to the demands made upon his atten- tion by many other extra curricula activities. Ernie is somewhat of a journalist, too, and we believe that during his subsequent four years at Harvard he will make the English Department of that school sit up and take notice. Bonne fortune, Ernie ! MARION CHISHOLM “Chisy” Cloak and Plume 1 ; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Masque and Wig 2, 3, 4; Traffic Squad 4 The last bell rings; a minute or two passes, and as one list- ens, a sharp click of heels is heard coming down the corridor. Then “Chisy” bursts into the classroom. We all know her as a demure girl, with smiling eyes, and a wonderful personality. Al- though never having taken part in athletics, “Chisy” has been a real sport and attended all the games. Perhaps she has a reason for liking football and the color “blue” — -who knows? We know she will be a success in later life, so do not be surprised if you see, a few years from now, that America claims Mme. Chis- holm as its leading fashion designer. LOUISE E. CHURCHILL Art League 4; Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 3, 4; • “Riding Dozen the Sky 3 Louise is a studious little girl who came to us from the Gooch School. During the past four years in M. H. S. she has not only devoted herself industriously to her studies but entered into the many activities of the school including the new Art League where she has done her part to further its success. Louise is best known by her beautiful drawings and the splendid record she has made in her lessons. We know that such talent will mean a lot when she arrives at Normal Art School next year. Best of luck, Louise ! 3Qg333£02035XKSS THE LOG MINER E. CILLEY “cur Football 3, 4; Traffic Squad 4 Miner was born in Winthrop and attended Winthrop High before coming to Melrose. Due to his good nature, popularity comes easy and we are sure that “such popularity must be de- served.’’ Wherever the best looking “Flying Cloud” in town is seen, there also will be found none other than Miner at the wheel. For two consecutive seasons Miner fought for his Alma Mater in football, receiving in his second season a broken wrist, which by no means dimmed bis sunny nature. Success to you, “Cill,” in the years to come. WARREN CLARK “Warzie,” “Warz” Hi-)’ 3, 4; Corresponding Secretary 4; School Life 4: Euclidean 2, 3; Nuntius 2; Thrift Council 2, 3; Traffic Squad 4; Year Book 4 “Warzie,” despite his size, manages to be seen and he is well known to every Senior. Especially is he known to three of them with which he makes up that great order, “The Highland Bear- cats.” He has the happy faculty of being able to get good marks with a minimum of home work. During his Junior and Senior years be has taken a prominent part in various school activities, especially Hi-Y, where he served as Corresponding Secretary. He also has faithfully served on the literary staff of both the ear Book and School Life. He expects to go to Tuf ts next year and take a B.S. course. Good luck, “Warz”! RUTH I. COBLEIGH Cloak and Plume 1, Girls ' Club 3. 4 Ruth came to us from the Washington School in 1926; and she has been a faithful supporter of all school activities. She has made many true friends during the past four years. She has also been a member of the Girls’ Club during the past two years. We are sure Ruth will be successful in all she undertakes and we wish her the best of luck. H. COLLINS ‘By” Manager Football 4; Assistant Manager 2, 3; Masque and Wig 4; School Life 3; “She Stoops to Conquer, 1; Traffic Squad 4; Year Book 4 “By” is essentially a manager. In grammar school he business managed the Rooseveltian. In High School he has managed the football team and lias also business-managed the Year Book so competently that his loud wails for five “spots” will be heard un- til Melrose builds a new high school. And how he can manage the keyboard ! His musical tastes run generally to the better compositions and particularly to the “Rhapsody in Blue.” “By’s” zealous study of the latter has led him to a personal interview with the composer. His management of the part of Diggory, the awkward servant, in the recent play was notable. May you manage marvelously all you attempt at B. U. with success ! BYRON EVERETT L. COOK “Cookie” Debating Club 4; Hi-Y 3, 4; School Life 4; Traffic Squad 4; ) ' car Book 4 When “Cookie” came to Melrose six years ago, lie didn’t know any one here: but it didn’t take him long to get acquainted, and he is now well acquainted. He is another member of that well-known quartet, “The Highland Bearcats.” He has taken a prominent part in Hi-Y, on the advertising staff of the Year Book, and other school activities of which he has been a mem- ber. One way to find him is to look for “Warzie.” The Scien- tific Course has not proven too hard for “Cookie,” and he expects to go directly to college next year. We know he will be just as successful and well-liked there as he has been in Melrose. Our best wishes go with you, “Cookie” ! Charlotte came to us from the Gooch School. She brought with her a sweet disposition that has won her many friends. Charlotte appears to be very quiet and reserved until one reallv knows her. When one hears a burst of laughter issuing forth from the dressing room of Room 13, one immediately knows that Charlotte is telling one of her jokes to her gang. Her great ambition is to become a lawyer and we know that by her per- severance and intellect she will be sure to succeed. Good luck. Charlotte ! CHARLOTTE COLLINS “Sartie” GRACE B. CROOK ER “Cookie” Girls ' Club 3. 4 Grace, too, came from the Washington School. Four years ago she started as a Freshman and now, having “followed through” with the rest of us. this not-so-dignified Senior has made many true friends who are attracted by her sweet way. Two years ago Grace joined the Girls’ Club. She has a great liking for hairdressing and hopes some day soon to start a beauty shop having for her partner — somebody. Best of success. Grace, in all you undertake. LOTS CUTTING Lois is one of the quiet members of our class. She entered M. H. S. in the fall of 1T26 from the Washington School. Al- though Lois has not been very prominent in the activities of the school, she has made many friends during her four years in Mel- rose High. Does that center play a good game? Ask Lois, she knows. We have heard she also rates an usher ' s pass. Hov about it. Lois? Lois is undecided as to ,what business college she will attend, but we all wish her the best of luck in whatever she undertakes. 333 nr EDNA E. DALBY Cloak and Plume 1; Student Director 3, 4; Euclidean 3, 4; French Club 3, 4; Girls ' Club 2, 3, 4; Masque and Wig 2, 3, 4; Physical Education Leader 1 ; “What Men Uve By ” 2 Four years ago Edna entered M. H. S. from the Roosevelt School as “just another Freshman, - ’ hut since then she has be- come very popular among her fellow students. She is a member of many clubs and is especially interested in dramatics. She has taken an active interest in hoys’ as well as girls’ athletics. Be- sides being an enthusiastic High School fan, she is also a rooter for Harvard. We wonder why ! Although Edna has taken part in many extra-curriculum activities she has not neglected her studies. Edna is planning to enter Wheaton College next year. May you enjoy your years at college, Edna, as much as we have enjoyed having you for a classmate. DOROTHY E. DARLING “Dot” Girls ' Club 3, 4; Glee Club 3, 4; “ Count and the Coed 4; ' Riding Down the Sky ” 3 “Darling Dot” walked into Melrose High as a Freshman rep- resenting the Roosevelt School. She is one good sport, lost to the field-hockey squad because of physical disabilities. At every football, baseball, or hockey game, however, “Dot” was there cheering a new favorite to victory. “Dot” worked hard outside of school as a Scout officer and won her Golden Eaglet award in May. She is on her way to the business world. Here’s hoping your pleasant, persevering disposition stays by you, “Dot,” when the old brick pile” becomes a memory. GLENYS DAVIS “Glen,” “Pansy” “Glen came to us from the Lincoln School, a quiet, reserved person, hut nevertheless, making many friends. Have you ever wondered why she is so interested in a certain hardware store in Malden ? There is a reason ! Almost every afternoon, long after school hours are over, “Glen” may be seen hurrying from the typewriting room to Room 59. “Glen” is the unexcelled member of our secretarial class and, therefore, is Mr. Boynton’s secretary. She takes dictation at a rapid rate and transcribes her notes with speed and accuracy. “Glen” is a real pal and we wish her everv success. CHARLES A. DAVISON “Charlie” Traffic Squad 4 “Charlie” came to Melrose from Chelsea. He is very much interested in sports and can always be counted among the specta- tors whenever Melrose is competing against another school. Charlie was out for football for two years and although he did not receive a letter, he did his hit toward making the Melrose football teams formidable. Charlie is a firm believer in walking as a beneficial exercise and delights in taking long walks. Charlie has other interests besides sports, some of which are beautiful girls, good music, and dancing. THE LOG ARLES W. DOUCETTE ‘“Boy” ' ' Boy, ' ' the dark-eyed “shiek,” danced his way to Melrose High via the Lincoln School. Although “Boy” has not dis- tinguished himself in athletics he has always been a loyal rooter at the various games. His one hobby is dancing and he never lacks a partner as he has plenty of it.” Although at presen ' : “Boy” regards the whole world as a ballroom, his “fast-stepping” in the future will be done in the business world. He has made many friends in M. H. S. whose best wishes follow him into the business world. : :: : M; mi I CAROLYN DOW “Cal,” “Pete” “Pete” is one of our very charming members who has a “Hi, there,” and her big smile for everyone. “Cal” is also a record holder, for she has for four years held the undisputed title of “Champion Absentee of the Class of ’30,” but in spite of this, Pete” is well known throughout these portals. “Cal” is plan- ning to enter the School of Design next fall to study clothes designing. DOROTHY DOW “Dot,” “Dolly” Art League 4 “Dot” came to M. H. S. from the Roosevelt School. She likes sports, especially tennis, for individual pleasure and football for group. Her hobbies are of an artistic nature, which is shown by her attendance in “32,” and her membership in the Art League. She hopes to continue her art education in one of the Boston schools. ALICE N. DUNNING “Shrimp” Girls Club 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Nuntius 2; “ Count and the Coed, 4; Riding Dozen the Sky, 3; “Ermine, 2 yds r) } { Alice first entered the Melrose schools as a petite Freshman, coming from the .Thompson Grammar School, North Andover. During her four years here she has won the lasting friendship of many of her schoolmates. Alice will be remembered for her musical talent both as a pianist and singer. She has been in the chorus of “Ermine” and “Riding Down the Sky,” and was chosen leading lady in the “Count and the Coed.” Her small stature is probably due to the fact that she rides nearly everywhere she goes, especially in Chevrolets ! Alice lias been studying com- mercial subjects in preparation for some business college. She has our best wishes for her future success. E EVELYN ELLSWORTH “Evy,” “Ev,” “Billie” “Billie” came from the Washington School four years ago, a very (juiet individual. However, times do change, especially the styles in housedressing. She is sure to he found in the midst of some animated group. “Evy” takes everything as it comes along and never worries, although no matter how hard she tries, she can’t win the booby prize in bridge. We wish her every suc- cess in whatever she decides to do. whether it is stenographic work in Boston or other business in Wakefield ! EDNA V. FARREL “Ned,” “Neddie” French Club 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Masque and Wig 4; “Count and the Coed, 4; Riding Down the Sky,” 3 “Ned” came to M. H. S. from the Roosevelt School and has succeeded in everything she has attempted. It took her two years to pass geometry, but we commend her for her perseverance. Last year she wrote a Health Play which won a prize as all her friends knew it would. She excells in all her studies, although she has never been known to really study. She is best, however, in modern languages and even succeeded in Latin. She wishes to continue her study of languages, and we hope to see her an in- terpreter in the not too distant future. LOUISE FAHEY Basketball 3, 4; Captain 4; Girls ' l lab 3. 4; Poetry Club 3, 4 Louise has made a name for herself in athletics. For three years she has been on the basketball team. Her Senior year she was their able captain. In Girls’ Club she was on the Social Committee. She is not afraid of work and is always ready and willing to do whatever is asked of her, always striving to add to her “store of knowledge” in every way. Outside of school she was an officer in Girl Scouts. Although she has not decided what she will do when her High School days” are over, her pleasing disposition will carry her to success, whether she goes East or West. Good luck to you, Louise. KARL A. FELLOWS Art League 4; Cloak and Plume 1 ; Glee Club 4; Hi-Y 3, 4; Masque and II ig 1, 2, 3, 4; “She Stoops to Conquer, ' ' 4; “The Crisis, ' ' 2; “ The Celebrity,” 3 Admired and liked by his friends for his genial disposition is Karl. He is a graduate of the Roosevelt School. During his four years at Melrose High his extra-curricular interests have been divided between the Masque and Wig and the Art League, the latter of which he is a charter member. Karl is a booster of art and music. After graduation he intends to continue his study of music at the New England Conservatory. All kinds of suc- cess, old chap. DOROTHY FORTIER “Dot,” “Dottie” Girls’ Club 4 Dorothy is one of the baby members of our class. She came to us from the D. N. Gooch School in the fall of 1926. Although she has taken part in but few of the activities, her winning personality has won her many new friends here at the High School. Whenever “Dot” has a spare moment, she is in the vicinity of Room 38. We all wonder what the attraction can be. Dot” is planning to enter Burdett College next fall, and we all wish her luck and success in the future. ROBERT FOSTER “Bob” Basketball 3, 4; Captain 4; Traffic Squad 4 This calm looking young fellow is a product of the Gooch School. “Bob” has distinguished himself very much in his four rears in Melrose High, both by his scholastic ability and his ath- letic attainments. Being an outstanding basketball player, he was chosen captain in his last year and served very ably in that position. “Bob” is also a remarkable swimmer, having won the Two-State Y. M. C. A. Championships in this event. He is en- tering Bowdoin in the fall, and great things are expected of him. WARREN FLETCHER “Fletch” Traffic Squad 4 Our friend came to us in ’26 with the other celebrities of the Washington School, a bright and snappy little fellow. He jumped into the Scientific Course with evident success for he intends to enter Northeastern in the fall. During his four years with us, he was ever present but rather passive. His favorite indoor sport is dancing, and his favorite outdoor sport is walking with a certain Junior. Best of luck, Fletch,” and may Juniors always smile. Football 2, 3, 4 Here, folks, is one of the best-liked boys in our class. Bruce, with his sunny disposition, fair face, and genuine all-aroundness, has won an army of friends, especially girls. His only regret is that he isn’t twins, then he could keep all of his dates. Coach Poole also wishes Bruce were twins for if there were two of him on the team there is no telling how many championships we would win. He is a member of the Lane, McArdle, Flanagan combination who have managed to graduate somehow or other. We “Wanda” what Bruce is going to do when he graduates, anyhow we know he will be a success. ISABELLE L. FRENCH “Dick” Cloak ami Plume 1 : Girls ' Club 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 3 “Dick” is the possessor of a well-balanced mind and not too large a tongue, assets which will render her pleasing anywhere. The latter accomplishment, her dislike to waste words, has led many to believe her quiet. Her closest friends, however, claim to find her decidelv the opposite. If a determination to be some- thing other than driftwood on life ' s tide means anything, the fu- ture, indeed, holds auspicious things for “Dick.” Jackson Col- lege, which she intends to enter in the fall, should provide her with excellent material for the ship on which she has set her eye. BARBARA FURBER “Barb” Girls ' Club 3, 4; Vice-President 4; Traffic Squad 4; P. C. Leader 1 Barbara Furber, more often known as “Barb,” came to M. H. S. from the Roosevelt School. She is rather innocent looking, but that holds true on the surface only. Wherever she is, there is sure to be a lively time. She is a loyal supporter of both the football and hockey teams. We don’t know who the attractor is. “Barb” is a member of the Girls’ Club Executive Board. She is also an ardent lover of Girl Scouting.She expects to enter Katherine Gibbs’ School next fall, and we all wish her the best of luck.

Through her four years she has retained this poise and manner which has endeared her to her classmates. Although in after years, when our classmates are more or less forgotten. Barbara’s smile and charm will always remain with us. She has remained true to her old friends, but she has made many more new ones who can always be sure of her friendship. JOHN F. GIBSON Among the Freshmen from the Washington School was one who wasn’t little, but big. This outstanding figure was “Fred- die.” His height was probably the reason for his seeming bash- fulness in the presence of members of the opposite sex. This fallacy did not hinder him from being liked very much by those who became acquainted with him. He was very quiet in school affairs, not participating in any athletic or clubs. We do not know where or what you are preparing for, “Freddie,” but we wish you the best of succcess in all you do. THE LOG EMMA G 10 VINO “Emmy” Girls ' Club 2, 3, 4 “Emmy” came to us from the D. N. Gooch School in the fall of “’26.” Although Emmy” has not participated in many of the school activities, her sweet smile and personality have won her many friends. “Emmy” may be remembered by her “cherie,” which she hardly ever is without. “Emmy” is undecided as to what she will do next year, but we all wish her luck and success in whatever she may attempt to do. ANNIE RUTH GITTES Honey” Art League 4, Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; “Count and Coed 4; “ Riding Dozvn the Sky, 3 Four years ago Annie, otherwise known as “Honey” by her classmates (especially boys), entered High School from the D. N. Gooch School. During the four years “Honey” has been ac- tive in many clubs, taking part in their presentations. Besides this, she has been a good scholar, excelling in bookkeeping and commercial law. She has always been an ardent supporter of all the school sports and could always be seen doing her bit to cheer them on to victory. Outside of school she is either found play- ing tennis or dancing. After school she almost always has an important engagement in Room 59. Next September she will be seen hurrying down the street with a students’ bag. Sbe is going to college to further her education. JOSEPH H. GOINEAU “Joe” Euclidean 3; Hi-Y 3, 4; Traffic Squad 4; Debating Club 4: Masque and Wig 3, 4 “Joe” came to this school as a Freshman in 1926 from St. Mary’s Grammar School. Although a rather quiet fellow, “Joe” and his friendly smile are well-known throughout M. H. S. He never bothered much with athletics but was an active member in several clubs and is a charter member of the new Debating Club. His musical talent and girl friends always keep him busy out of school hours, but his studies never show much lack of attention. If a new style of neckties or even a bright color is an- nounced, “Joe” is wearing one the next day. His future is not definite, but whatever “Joe” does, our best wishes for success are with him. JOHN GLOVER “Joh nnv” Hi-Y 3, 4; Masque and Wig 3, 4; “She Stoops to Conquer ,” 4 John came from the Roosevelt School with the Class of 1926. He has spent four short years preparing for college; during which his record has been good. We wish him luck and every success into whatever he may venture. THE LOG 1C MARJORIE L. GOLDTH WAIT “Marj,” “Marnie” Intcrclass Basketball 3, 4; Girls ' Club 3, 4; Orchestra 1. Poetry Club 3, 4; School Life 1 ; Librarian 3, 4 Marjorie is a rather quiet but popular girl. For four years her tall form has been seen here and there throughout the school. She has many hobbies, the most important being poetry and sing- ing. Not many know of her lovely voice, but her passion for poetry has given us something lovely to read. She has been an ardent member of the Poetry Club during the past school year, and a member of the Girls’ Club for two years. We hope that she will be as well liked everywhere she goes in the future. EMILY GRAVES Girls ' Club 4 Emily came to us from Malden in her Freshman year, bringing a gentle, generous smile which at once made us love her. She is friendly to all, but to her pals she is faultlessly faithful, ever offering her sympathy and cheer. Her favorite recreation is dancing, and we’ll all agree that the art has won her many admirers. If modest beauty and a sweet disposition assure success in secretarial work, then the road is certainly bright before our speedy typist. So it is with all our heart. Emily, that we are wishing a happy future for a happy girl. JOHN GREEN “Johnnie’ In 1028 “Johnnie” came to us from Saugus High. He is one of tho. e young fellows who declares that gentlemen prefer blonds, and be has the preference. Be that as it may, it has been rumored that John has been seen frequently in tbe neighbor- hood of Beech Avenue, which would seem to prove the statement. However, in our two years ' acquaintance with him, we have known him as a happy-go-lucky fellow who is always ready to help in any hard work. (Wes, he is!) Although “Johnnie” doesn’t take part in any of the school activities, he has made many acquaintances, especially with the fair sex. “Johnnie” in- tends to work next year, if he doesn’t get put in jail for speed- ing. We all wish you the best of luck, John. BARBARA GRIFFIN “Bobby,” Barb,” “Barby” Interclass Basketball 2, 3; Euclidean, Girls Club 3, 4; Thrift Council . Baseball 4 Because Barbara is shy, many of her classmates have had the misfortune not to know her well. Those who do have found in her a ready comrade and a loyal friend who is always ready to help out. She is an excellent student, her name usually ap- pearing on the Honor or Credit Lists. Each year she has gone out for all girls’ athletics, and in her Senior year she received her second team letter in field-hockey. She has also been an en- thusiastic spectator at the boys’ sports. Her other activities were the Thrift Council, the Girls’ Club, and the Euclidean Society. She has not vet decided what she will do on leaving High School, but we know she will go far for whatever she takes up. Loring is one of the most popular members of our graduat- ing - class and is easily recognized by his famous “also.” He likes the ladies, and the ladies like him (especially those in the Freshman Class). We all know the fine work that Loring did in the two operettas and hope that he shall continue his good work in music. He is also an artist of renoun, but in spite of all these outstanding qualities, Loring is planning to attend Tufts Engineering School where he may continue successfully unhin- dered by co-eds. “Lorry Glee Club 3, 4; Hi-} ' 2, 3; “Count and the Coed,” 4; “Riding Dozen the Sky, 3 HANNAH HAMILTON Hannah entered Melrose High School as a very timid girl, but four years have made a change as a certain teacher in Room 59 thinks. She has always been a good scholar and has won her classmates’ praise as such. When anything amusing is going on. Hannah is always present to add her bit to the fun. When she is outside of school, her favorite sport is motoring, especially when the auto is driven by a certain member of the opposite sex. Hannah expects to enter the business world, and all her friends wish her the best success in whatever she undertakes. c IRVING MILES HARLOW “Gangster” Debating Club 3, 4; Euclidean; Hi-} 2, 3, 4; Traffic Squad 4 Irving graduated from the Roosevelt School in ’26 with the rest of the members of the honorable “Highland Bearcat Club.” Upon entering this institution of brain training, “Gangster” took up the Scientific Course. “Gangster” is not inclined toward the opposite sex. Perhaps he really is, but he does not believe in showing his affections. We are led to believe that “Gangster’s” non-inclination for the girls accounts for his success in his course of study. Irving has received an average of B in all of his sub- jects so far. Irving plans to go to M. I. T. and take a course in chemical engineering. The Class of ’30 send their wishes for success and good luck at Tech. FRED D. HARRINGTON Fred is another one of the quiet members of the class, that is in regard to school activities. He hasn’t participated in any of these or any of the school athletics, work outside of school having kept him busy. His marks throughout his four years have been very good. W’e do not know just what he is planning for next year, but a fellow like him is bound to succeed. Best of luck, Fred. FLO REN Cl ' HECirr Girls ' Club 3, 4 Here is another quiet girl. Goldsmith must have been re ferring to people like Florence when he said, “Modesty seldom re- sides in a breast that is not enriched with nobler virtues.” Flor- ence has a kind word for all whom she meets. She has done well in her studies, and next year she plans to enter the business world where we wish her the best of success. RICHARD T.

He has been one of the wittiest members of our class as well. We are sure that “Dick ' s” sterling character and sound mind will carry him to great heights of success in the future. GEORGE METCALF HINCKLEY Euclidean 4; H i-Y 4; Masque and Wig 4; She Stoops to Conquer, 4 A sort of quiet fellow, liked by all bis fellow students, is George. He came to our school as a Sophomore and graduated from the Washington School. He is intensely interested in dra- matics anti tennis. He intends to train to be a business executive, and we believe that he is admirably suited for such a position, both from the point of view of his ability and from his pleasing personality. He intends to go to Amherst next year. Best of luck.

THE LOG MARJORIE HO ECKEL “Marge,” “Margie” Art League 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Orchestra 2, 3 “Marge,” a decided blonde, entered our old brick pile from the Roosevelt School. She came to us a popular but shy little Freshman. “Margie’s” smile and winning personality have won her many warm friends, especially a new arrival, of the opposite sex. When it comes to studying, “Marge” is an ardent sup- porter. Sometimes “Marge” may be seen at recess in one of cur famous telephone booths; we wonder why? She is to be- come one of the many inmates of the Hancock Institution soon after graduation. We wish “Marge” loads of luck and success. I m DOROTHY HOLMES “Dot’ Girls’ Club 3. 4 “Dot,” one of the quiet members of our class, has a sunny disposition which has won her many friends. Much of “Dot’s” school time has been taken up with her studies which one can easily see by her good marks. She is adapted to secretarial work and has been successful in her filing and shorthand. She intends to enter the business world next year, and we all wish her the best of success. VERA LIND HOWARD “Ve” Girls’ Club; “Two Vagabonds ” Vera is one of our brilliant meteors from the Washington School. When she came here as a demure Freshman four short years ago, who guessed the calm, serene Senior she would grow into. Not so calm always though, for once in a while a giggle announces her presence to those who are best acquainted with her. Vera is musically inclined and also has a weakness for bookkeeping. She is always cheerful, ready to help, especially one in a labyrinth of figures (at which she is especially good). Truly it may be said of her that a “friend in need, is a friend indeed.” Y i) ( GRACE E. HULTGREN Girls ' Club 4 Grace, with her blondness and perfect wave, wandered into High S chool one day in 1926 (she always wanders), from the Roosevelt School. Although her only activity is Girls’ Club, she has a host of friends. She excels in filing (it is rumored that she even files her finger nails), and because she likes this work, she will probably continue it. Of course, we wish you loads of luck, Grace.

She hurried into school in 1926, and is still rushing frantically from one class to another, losing her pens, books, and notes, but with an ineffaceable smile on her countenance. One saw her flurried and anxious going to a play rehearsal or bored and resigned sauntering to an afternoon ses- sion. A great talent and a greater confidence inspired her to adorn her hooks with figures and profiles until those excellent manuscripts more nearly resembled treatises on art than worthy, weighty volumes on Virgil or history.

Since then he has become a very good student in the dear old brick pile.” He hasn’t gone in for any school activi- ties, work outside of school haring kept him busy.

Irene, better known to her many friends as “Renee,” is a very quiet ap- pearing student, yet she is very enthusiastic about sports. She is one of those girls who always has a smile and a cheery word for everyone. Irene hopes to become a French teacher, but “Qui vivra, veira.” We wish you the best of luck, Irene.

S., he was just “Another Freshman.” However, his athletic prow- ess, with his good humor and sparkling wit helped him get ac- quainted with everyone, the feminine sex especially. During his four years here, he was a well-known figure in the M. H. S. sporting world, being a member of the well-known three K’s of our football and hockey teams. We all know that wherever “Jim goes or whatever he does, he will do his best to succeed as he did during his years at M. H. S. RUTH C.

She also has that quality known as talent, for she is an ardent and loyal worker in the Glee Club and an accomplished pianist. Ruth has many hobbies, but her favorite is walking, and she may be seen most any afternoon hiking towards “Greenwood. We have heard that lately she has become partial to “Chevs.” Ruth is planning to become a nurse and will enter some hospital in the fall. We all wish vou the best of luck, Ruth. DORIS KENNEDY Poetry Club 4 Doris is too modest. Who would think she played the violin with a master’s touch (what master we do not know) or had ar- tistic ability? She liked being a Freshman so much that she spent two years in this blissful state. However, desiring to graduate with us, she is taking her Junior and Senior years to- gether, studying the Household Economics Course. Busy with Scouting, and other outside activities she hasn’t paritcipated in many school clubs. The Class of 1930 wish her all the happi- ness iti the world. THE LOG NELSON D.

But soon the whirl of events filled his sails and he skimmed ahead piloted by different ones as the wind changed. Everywhere along the long line of clubs, plays, and athletics one could always hear Nellie’s” cheerful laugh; usually in the limelight, he stood out most prominently as cheer leader. A megaphone always seemed superfluous to the listeners. Soon Nelson will cast off and leave the safe harbor for ports unknown.

He excelled in all the four sports, and was captain of the championship hockey team of 1929-1930. With athletics in the day time, and his other engagements in the evening, he still has time to be at the head of his classes in most of his studies. Everyone knows and wishes that Fish” will succeed in everything at Dartmouth. MARJORIE KNAPP Girls ' Club 3, 4; Poetry Club 2 Marjorie entered M. H. S. in the Indian Summer of 1926. Being of an ambitious nature she signed up to take the College Course and has continued along that line ever since. During her Freshman year she aspired to gain notoriety by putting a ball into a basket. In her Sophomore year she ventured into the noble fellowship of the Poetry Club. In her Junior year she remembers studying Latin vociferously. Lately she has been distinguished by breaking test tubes. Next year she expects to take a course in Library Science at Simmons College, and we wish her luck. MARY KNIGHT Traffic Squad 4 Mary is a very ingenious young lady with a facile pen. She doesn ' t write light, flippant stories as most High School students do, but weighty manuscripts. So scathingly and convincingly did she write on the subject of the new High School that the “Free Press” honored her (or itself) by printing it. Moreover, she looks like one of the modern young literati with her moody brown eyes and high forehead. Mary’s major interests are horseback-riding, reading, and hiking — and may we dare to add another — Worcester.

You can always be sure that you will never find “Fran” without his shadow (or visa versa) “Tom.” As an athlete, “Fran” is following closely in the steps of his brother, Myles. He is headed for Dartmouth, and we wish him the best of luck and success possible. LEON LASEKSON Murph,” “Izzy Murphy” Euclidean 2, 3, 4 , Leon is known to most of us as “Murph.” He came to Melrose High from the Gooch School in ’26. “Murphy” im- mediately captured a few good marks which brought him a Eu- clidean membership.

Go to it with that “Good Old Gooch School Spirit.” We’ll watch your “sparks.” (A PAULINE RITA LEAVITT “Paul” Girls’ Club 3, 4 “Paul” entered the Melrose High School (annex) four years ago as a meek little Freshman, from the Washington School. She has been a loyal supporter of the football team during her four years here. We wonder if there is any particular attraction ! Through her happy disposition, and willing nature she has gained many friends. However, not only in the Senior Class, but among the lower classmen. The Freshmen, especially, seem to hold particular interest for her and furthermore occupy quite a bit of her time. Next year Paul” intends to enter the Law- rence General Hospital and start training. We hope she will enjoy her work and may the best of luck follow her. WILBUR LEEMAN “Will,” “Bashful Bill” “Bashful Bill,” the “Blushing Bohunk.” came to Melrose High School from the Washington School. “Will” is a quiet, studious, bashful, pleasant lad who has kept us all guessing dur- ing the past four years.

He was about the cutest little Freshman that anybody ever laid eyes upon. Quite different from the dark-haired, good-hearted, fun-loving Senior that he is now. With such a combination of characteristics and qualities ff is no wonder that he has made so many friends, and these are not limited to the masculine sex. either. Indeed, there is a faint rumor that he looks favorably — very favorably — upon blondes — petite blondes. His favorite sports are tennis and hockev both of which games he excels in. Sometime in the future, after attending “Prep” School, he plans to go to Brown University. TYLER LEWIS “Tip,” “Ty” How do you like the picture? “Ty” is not a shining light, hut he has passed four successful years here nevertheless. He graduated from the Roosevelt School and entered that wonderful wooden building, the Sewall School, for his first year. “Ty” is not sure just what he will do; he may work, or he may follow a hope of going to college; but in whatever he does, we know he will be successful, and we wish him the best of luck. ALFRED LIEBERMAN “Al” Hi-Y 3, 4 “Al” is a production of the Washington School, small phy- sically, but large mentally. During his four years with us he has spent the greater part of his extra time at the “Y.” This accounts for his lack of participation in school activities. All his friends claim that “Al” is quite a gymnast. We hope he has the best of luck at Mass. Aggie. Good luck, Bob ! ALICE L. LOSSONE Euclidean 4; French Club 3, 4; Girls ' Club 4 Alice is one of the demure, retiring girls of our class. She came from the Gooch School to M. H. S. in the fall of 1926. She is very much interested in “Halls,” especially “New-Halls.” Alice joined the Euclidean Society, the Girls’ Club and the French Club and has gained many friends. She is undecided as to her future work, but we wish her luck in whatever it may be. LAWRENCE LUCEY “La” Football 4 “La” is a very amiable fellow — -notice the curly blond hair, girls — who by his sunny smile and genial disposition has won a lifetime host of friends. He is rather inclined to be modest, and would rather listen than be heard. This is a factor in his favor, however, for actions speak louder than words. He is also some boy on the gridiron as he showed us by the way he caught passes and brought down runners consistently last fall. He is booked for B. U. next year, consequently we expect to hear much from those quarters about “La.” CHARLES E. MacCORMACK “Charlie” Football 3, 4 “Charlie” came to us from the Gooch School, a happy and good-natured Freshman. In his first year, “Charlie” pitched for the Freshman baseball team. He also played on the Freshman football team. During the three remaining years he played on the Varsity football team and became popular with the opposite sex. Whatever he intends to take up for his life work we feel sure he will be a great success. Good luck, “Charlie.” Robert Macdonald “Mac,” “Bob” Basketball 3, 4; Track Manager 4 This gentleman first graced our portals in the fall of 1928, having come to our fair village from the neighboring hamlet of Everett. “Mac” has never been seen carrying a book home, nevertheless he always does carry home one of the best report cards. He seems to have a faculty for saying the right thing a the right time. Perhaps that accounts for his marks. “Mac” will continue his quest for knowledge at Boston University next fall and may he succeed there as he has at Melrose High. G HR A l.l) I N E M ac H U G H “Jerry” Art League 4; Girls ' Club 4 Our “Jerry” was imported from Fitch burgh High School her Senior year, and is now a very lively little member of our class. “Jerry” makes a smart appearance with her striking boy- ish bob.

She is a good student, and a true friend. “Jerry’s” personality, loyalty, and perseverance assure her of a successful future. .MARJORIE MACK Mamie” Here we have a really domestic soul who makes clothes she can wear, and bakes pies one can eat, but she thinks she will be a dancing teacher for she has already had experinece in that work, having assisted Miss Devlin for the last four years. “Mamie” is a typical dignified Senior who doesn’t become easily excited or upset. Her delightful personality and charming ways have won her many close friends. Best wishes for your future, “Marnie.” HELEN M cKENZIE “Speed,” “Mac” Field Hockey 2, 4; Girls’ Club 4 Meet “Speed,” one of the members of the “Big Parade” that trails down from the East Side every morning. “Speed” came to the “old brick pile” from the Washington School, and is known everywhere by her sweet disposition and sunny smile. Although she is a member of the graduating class, woe be unto the one who says wrong about the Sophomores. “Speed” is planning to take a P. G. course next year, from which she will go out into the world to make a fine secretary for some fortunate person. We are sure she will be a success in whatever she undertakes. FRANK H. MacLEAN “Frankie,” “Mac” Hi-Y 4; Thrift Council 1 Frank came to Melrose High from that famed institution of learning known as the Lincoln School, a bashful little Freshman, with the firm conviction that he would do well in his studies. His steadfastness of purpose, especially in the above regard, and his brilliant wit have, in the four years he spent inside the walls of Melrose High, made him a very worthwhile and popular member (d his class. He intends to further his education at Huntington. The class joins in wishing him the best,” and we are all sure that he will make a success of his college career. THE l BARBARA LOUISE MACULLAR “Barb” Girls ' Club 3. 4 “Barb” entered Melrose High as a Freshman four years ago from the Gooch School. Her cheerful disposition lias made many friends for her. No matter what the subject is she al- ways sees the funny side first. “Barb” is a loyal supporter of the football team, and an attentive member of Girls’ Club. She is a game sport wherever she happens to be. During the past year “Barb” seems to have found recreation at the Melrose Hos- pital on the switchboard. We hope that she will satisfy her de sires, and study to be a buyer ! However, we wish her the best of luck and success. JANE MAGUIRE Band 1, 2, 3; Baseball Captain 4; Basketball 4; Interclass 1, 2. 3, 4; Field Hockey 1. 2, 3, 4; Girls ' Club 2, 3. 4; Treasurer 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; School Life 4; Traffic Squad 4; Year Book 4 From the time she entered High School, Jane has been one of the leaders of our class, and has taken an active interest in all school activities. She began her athletic career in her Fresh- man year by being on the Varsity field-hockey team. Since then she has played basketball, baseball, and field hockey. She has made many friends during her four years and always has a cheery word for every one. Jane is undecided as to what she is going to do next year, but we know that she will be successful in whatever she undertakes. Good luck to you, Jane. EDNA MAIDROND “Sis” Girls’ Club 3, 4 “Sis” is no stranger to our class, as she gained all her knowl- edge here in Melrose. This shy, little maid excells in history, and nothing delights her more than doing extra work for a cer- tain “Professor” of history. A merry laugh, dimples, and blue eyes, make people turn around and ask who that little Freshman is. Edna’s interest seems to center around Everett — the reason for this attraction is as yet unsolved. “Sis” enters Chandler ' s Secretarial School in September, and then she will help the busi- ness world to success. Our best wishes go with you, Sis.” EDNA LOUISE MARR “Ed,” “Eddie” Eddie” entered the inviting portals of the Melrose High School Annex her Freshman year from the Lincoln School. Al- though her coiffure changes likes the weather, one could not mistake her. Her cheerful disposition has made her popular not only within the school, but also in the Melrose Order of Rain- bow, of which she is past Worthy Advisor. After her annual sojourn in West Southport, Maine, she will resume her studies at the Lesley School of Cambridge. STANLEY MASON “Stan” Hand 1, 2, 3; Class Day Committee 4; Debating Chib 2: Euclidean 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4; Treasurer 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; School Life 3, 4; Traffic Squad 4; Senior V ice-Presidmt “Stan” is a dark, handsome boy of about medium height. He entered this institution from the Washington School, and after four years of hard studying, has completed the Scientific Curriculum. Although he studies hard, he has always been popu- lar with the girls. His achievements have been numerous in the different clubs, but the greatest lies in that he is Vice-President of the Senior Class. With a fine scholastic record behind him. he heads for Tufts. The whole class wishes him the best of luck in the future. THOMAS JOSEPH McARDLE Tom,” “Tommy,” Pal” Traffic Squad 4 This inspiring youth came to us with the same background and just as bashful as the rest of us. but his perpetual smile and winning personality won great favor with the ladies, and he soon lost his bashfulness. As a cop, on the traffic squad, he sure could keep the jay-walkers moving — backwards. Whenever you see “Tom,” Lane, and Flanagan the other two Musketeers” are always with him. “Tom” intends to matriculate to the hard cruel world. We know that he will he a success in whatever he tries. Best of luck. “Tom.” MURIEL McCORMICK “Mac” Muriel, better known as “Mac,” graduated from the Roose- velt School, and entered the portals of M. II. S. as a very small and meek Freshman. Still small, but no longer meek, “Mac” has become one of the liveliest members of our class. By her spark- ling brown eves and fun-loving disposition “Mac has won loads of friends among both sexes. “Mac” is undecided as to just what she will do next vear, hut in whatever she undertakes we wish her the best of luck. SARAH J. McILWRAITH “Sally” Girls’ Club 4 Behold ! the year of 1926 has brought to us a bonny wee lassie fresh from the fields of Scotland with a big incentive for hard work. Now “Sally” is very tractable, you may find her either in the ranks of the Rainbow Girls, where she enjoys office duties, or at home busily helping her mother. Although she has been one of our most modist members, friendship has been a leading word with “Sally,” for we all know she is a true little friend. As regards our future stenographer, there is no doubt that a good position will be the reward of conscientious work. Success, Sally” ! ALBERT G. McKINNEY “Al” Hi- V 3, 4 ws£QQoocoQcwoo3cm THELMA McLEAN “Thel” Thelma is one of the quiet members of our class. She came here from the Washington School in the fall of ’26. Although she has had no great part in the activities of the school, her per- sonality has won her many friends. She always has been in- terested in football teams. Especially Malden’s. We wonder why? Thelma is undecided as to what she will do in the future, but we wish her success in all her future work. In 1928 “Al” popped up from no where (he came from Pembroke High). He has a very genial personality, and is liked by all his classmates, including both sexes. His work in Melrose High has been confined to studies and the Hi-Y, of which he is a very diligent and active member. “Al ' ’ doesn’t indulge in sports as much as some of his classmates; however, an athletic reputation is not necessary when one has a smile, friends, and ability, and “Al” has these in abundance. Whatever he does after leaving M. H. S., be it college or work, his classmates ever wish him the best of luck, and feel confident of his success. ELEANOR McMULLIN “Mac” Cloak and Plume 1; Girls’ Club 3. 4; Masque and Wig 2, 3, 4 ; Poetry Club 3, 4 Since Eleanor entered High School she has become famous for her ability as a reader and a pianist. Her cheerful disposi- tion and her willingness to help others have won her hosts of friends. Eleanor has already enrolled at Leland Powers School of Dramatics, and we wish her a successful career. FRANK MERIAM Hi-Y 3. 4; Orchestra 2, 3, 4; Traffic Squad 4 Frank is a tall, bright, good-natured fellow and a lover of fun. We can probably attribute his good nature to the fact that he lets neither studies nor girls bother him. Nevertheless, he is a good worker in whatever he undertakes. He has been an ac- tive member of the Hi-Y for two years; for three years a mem- ber of the school orchestra, helping out the violin section; and this year he was one of the traffic squad. Next year he plans to attend Northeastern. EVELYN G. MILANO After spending a year at Melrose High, and with the stigma of ' ' Preside” safely behind her, she sallied forth in search of new worlds to conquer, and for two years removed her quiet presence from our midst. The fall of 1929, however, found her once more inside our walls, a Senior now, but still her very charming self, and her record is truly sans reproche.” An excellent pian- ist, music is a medium through which she expresses herself with beauty and distinction. None can deny in this reserved miss a pulcritude which speaks for itself, and here’s to her lucky star. Should it lead her along the ways of business, or in another di- rection, we hope and trust that success and happiness will he her companions. RUTH AI UN ROE Basketball 4; Interclass 1, 2, 3, 4: Euclidean 3. 4; Field Hockey 4; French Club 4; Girls ' Club 2, 3, 4; Secretary 4; Tennis 2 ; Traffic Squad 4 This member of our class is strictly a Melrose product, hav- ing learned her A, R, C’s at the Warren School and continued through the Franklin and the Roosevelt to High School. The above list acquaints you with her activities while attending this venerable seat of learning. The twinkle in her eye tells of her sunny disposition bubbling over with fun. Ruth has always stood high in her studies and has been one of the popular members of the class. She plans to enter Wheaton next fall, and we know she ' ll make good. Mav the best of luck and success he yours, Ruth ! ft Wild IAM MONTGOMERY “Bill’ Track Team 3, 4; Traffic Squad 4 With his six feet two and one-half inches, “Bill” can just about win first prize for height, and he is certainly not hard to find on traffic duty amongst all the little Freshmen. As a high jumper, he is quite an asset to the track team, clearing the bar easily. Bill” is quite a student, especially in physics; he is one of those “ask me another” fellows. He has ambitions to go to further institutions of learning; wherever he goes we know he will meet with success. LAWRENCE E. MOODY Ham,” “Obrey” Hi-Y 3, 4; Thrift Council 1 Ham entered Melrose High School from the Roosevelt School in 1925. He did not participate in school sports be- cause of outside activities. “Ham” has proven himself to he very efficient in every way, especially in attracting the weaker sex. He has a very pleasing personality ' and was always able to efficiently entertain the classes of both ’29 and ' 30. Ham is a member of the Order of De Molay and also a c harter mem- ber of Delta Phi. After Ham” leaves Melrose High, he intends to enrole in the General Electric, and we hope he is as successful in Schenectady as he was in Melrose. CHARLES J. MOORE “Charlie,” “Jay” “Charlie” came here a bashful little “Freshie,” shying ner- vously at the sight of a lordly Senior, and displaying other Freshman symptoms. Now “Charlie” is one of those lordly Seni- ors himself, and is brimful of confidence and concentrated knowledge. “Charlie’s” four years have been those of amazing evolution. In his life work we know he’ll succeed. Good luck. Charlie” ! Linda dropped into the “old brick pile” as a Freshman four years ago from the Lincoln School. She seems to have made many friends in spite of her frequent absences and quiet disposi- tion. Her favorite pastime must be dancing as she seems to have become quite clever at that form of recreation. Her best sub- ject undoubtedly lies in figures since she has proven herself to be quite a mathematician. We do not know what her plans for the future are, but we wish her the best of luck and success in whatever she may undertake. ESTHER MULLOCK Euclidean 4; Girls ' Club 3, 4; Orchestra 1; Poetry Club 2; Thrift Council 4 Here we have a serious-minded, but most amiable student. She arrived from the Roosevelt School in the year of ’25 as a very studious pupil yet not too studious to see the funny side of life. Next to her studies her interests are centered in the Girls’ Club. Her happy disposition never changes. We wonder why she is so anxious to get back to Scituate this summer? She has very high ambitions for her future educational life. She hopes to attend Middlebury College in the fall. We wish you the best of luck and success, Esther. DOROTHY MUNN” “Dot” “Dot” came to us a shy, demure, young miss from the Roose- velt School. Not long did she stay quiet. Although we have not heard of “Dot” in any of the activities, she is well-known and well-liked for her pleasing manner and her always winning- smile. “Dot” is popular with both sexes, and it is without any doubt she should be. During her Senior year her attraction was given to Melrose boys, but now she has let her fancy wander to Winchester. “Dot,” aren ' t Melrose boys O.K.? “Dot” will go to the “world of hard knocks” next vear and we wish her luck. - yyc IP’lL- fir JiL Jl L ROGER MYRICK “Rog” Traffic Squad 4 In the fall of 1925 Rog” attended good old Melrose High School from the newly erected Roosevelt School. Rog” was an all-round man and continued as such during his time at M. H. S. Although he did not make himself known on the rink or diamond, he by no means neglected these sports, for his time was given to organizations outside of High School. He played on a prominent nine” in this city and this winter on one of its best hockey teams. When it comes to gliding over the waxed floor, you will find no better dancer than Rog,” himself. Due to his excellent work he was recently admitted to the Delta Phi Sigma. Roger’s plans are centered in Schenectady. HENRY NEUNZER Henny,” “Mickey O’Niel,” Hen,” “Goodness” Art League 4; Euclidean Society 3, 4; Hi-Y 4; Masque and ll ' ig 4; Year Book 4; Thrift Council 3 Most every one who drives a car has met this good-looking fellow, as Henny” is a battery man, having worked at them for years. He is also an artist and we hope to hear much from him in the future in that line. “Henny” was the founder of the Art League and has done wonders in the Club. He also belongs to the Euclidean and the Masque and Wig Society. CLARENCE W. WILSON School Life 4 Clarence was condemned to M. H. S. for four years of hard labor when he was graduated from the Roosevelt School in 1926. He accepted his sentence rather sedately and attended the school sessions quite often — both morning and afternoon. He has been very successful in many ways, especially with the opposite sex. He has a habit of never going out with the same girl twice. To put all joking aside, Clarence intends to go to Huntington next year, and from there to B. U., where he will learn the task of being a business man. eBst of success, Clarence. EUNICE NASH “Eunie” Trench Club 4; Girls ' Club 2, 3, 4; Poetry Club 4; ' Traffic Squad 4 Eunie’s” quiet and dignified manner conceals a person who is full of fun and always ready for a good time. She is especial- ly fond of such out-door sports as tennis, skating, and hiking. If she talks much more during the home-room period, she will soon know the dictionary by heart. She has a great weakness for sweet things, especially honey.” Since Eunie” doesn’t say any- thing about what she is going to do next year, maybe she has something up her sleeve. How about it. Eunie”? HELEN O’MALLEY “Hel” Girls ' Club 3, 4; Poetry Club 4 Hel came to us from the Roosevelt School in ’26. This bright, dark-eyed lassie comes down from the Highlands. She is one of the brightest members of our class and certainly one of the best-natured. Besides all this, she is a perfect flirt and has a great weakness for “home talent.” Although she lives in the Highlands, some of her best friends live in some of the most remote parts of the city. We wonder. But, regardless of all this, we certainly wish you luck in the future at the Reming- ton School or afterwards in the business world. HERALD O’CONNELL “Gerry,” “Shrimp” Gerald was quite small when he came to Melrose High School, but he has grown a couple of inches in his four years here. He has tried out for some sports in High School and has become a speedy little quarterback in football. You can some- times see Gerald in front of Room 34 with Helen. Gerald ex- pects to enter Boston College in a few years. We all hope he will make good as a football player from M. H. S. DONALD PARMENTER “Don” Hi-Y 4 “Don” entered M. H. S. in 1927 as a Sophomore. He came here from Norfolk. Virginia, and stayed long enough to get well acquainted and into some of our local activities. Then he went to Washington, D. C., for his Junior year. This year his friends were all pleased to find him one of the gang again. “Don” is rather a quiet fellow in school, but in outside activities he is up and coming. “Don” is planning to enter “Mass. Aggie” next fall and study for the Foreign Service. We know he will make good, and we all wish him the best of luck. FREDERICK PATTEN “Fred,” “Pat” In the fall of 1926 “Pat” entered the institution known as M. H. S. from the Lincoln School. Now he is one of only twelve members left from the Lincoln School who is graduating this year. Baseball has its attractions for “Pat,” and he can wield a tennis racket as if he were born with one in his hand. I’m leav- ing out one thing if I stop here, for we all know “Fred” with his old Dodge roadster. At all athletic contests they are both pres- ent as if an inspiring mascot to his home town. Have you heard the horn ? C5 THE LOG KATHRYN (i. PECK “Kay,” “Peckie” “Girls ' Club 2, 3, 4 “Kay,” accompanied by her compact, arrived at Melrose High from the Roosevelt School. She is a vivacious bit of hu- manity and one of our best dancers. “Kay” used to arrive early at school to see the “Don,” but we never beard that she was particularly interested in the sunset. Her path through High School is strewn with broken hearts, although it is rumored that only in the Senior year was she really hit hard. “Kay” is plan- ning to become a secretary, and if we are any kind of prophets she will succeed. Any how, we wish her all kinds of luck. KENNETH PECK “Ken,” “Pecky” Ken” came to us from the Roosevelt School in 1926. By his pleasing personality he has won many friends during his four years with us. “Ken” cut quite a figure in football in his Junior year, but this year he was unable to go out for the team because of other duties. He hones to en ter some sort of business next year. Success, Ken. ! You deserve it ! EDWARD PERKINS Glee Club 3, 4; School L.ifc 4; Hi-Y 3, 4; “Count and the Coed, 4; Riding Down the Sky, 3 Ed is willing to tell those who don’t know that he likes Ipswich in the summer. His “Y” and DeMolay activities ought to be added to the above list. He is a good sport, a popular classmate, and a worthy friend. Best of luck, “Ed.” MARY ELIZABETH PIERCE “Molly” Nuntins 1 : Poetry Club 2, 3. 4 In 1926 Mary Elizabeth entered M. H. S. from the Lincoln School. She is one of the quiet and studious girls of the class Although she is small, we feel sure, nevertheless, that her size will not hinder her from reaching success in everything she undertakes. She is an active member of th e Poetry Club and has made many friends in her work. She is planning to teach English and we all wish her success and happiness which cannot fail to be her’s. THE LOG ARTHUR PIKE ‘•Art” Cloak and Plume; Hi-) ' ; Debating; Euclidean ; Orchestra ; Band; Traffic Squad; Cheer Leader; “Riding Dozen the Sky “Count and the Coed “Art” is the third of the Pike family, in as many years, to graduate from M. H. S., and, like the other two, he has been one of the “shining lights” of his class. “Art’s” abilities as Cheer Leader need no introduction to any of us. For the last two years he has demanded so much of our cheering section so many times, that although they persisted in calling it “pep,” it was, in reality, a sore throat. Being of a mathematical turn of mind, “Art” could probab ly inform any one how many times he had tapped his drums, and the amount of energy used in the process during his four years in the orchestra. “Art” plans to study further. We all hope that Old Man Destiny will smile at him. French Club 4: Girls ' Club 3, 4; Junior From Committee 3; Poetry C lub 3; Vice-President 4. Shirley arrived from the Washington School in 1926. Since then she lias been flittering carelessly along here and there. Shir- ley is always at the dances, and if the Stein Song” is played, she does a solo song and dance much to the amusement of those about her. Shirley swings down the “Lane” every morning to school unless she happens to get a ride in a large blue Nash. Shirley used to play field hockey, but since she was “Bing-ed” on the nose, she is no longer a faithful follower of the game. Since she is expecting to go to college, it seems too bad that she can’t go to Dartmouth — -she is so interested in their future football team. Whatever she does we know she will be a success. Good luck to you, Shirlev! JOSEPH QUIGLEY Band 3; Debating Club 4; Vice-President 4; Hi-) ' 3; President 4; Nunti-us 2; School Life 3, 4; Thrift Council 1 : Traffic Squad 4 “Donnerwetter Donner und Blitzen !” all of which intro- duces “Joe,” the German student, for it is with these expressions that he gives vent to various outbursts of emotion. Nothing, however, can be said against his disposition for it is one of the best, and his ready smile is equal to his ready wit. “Joe” likes exercise, and derives plenty of it from his numerous, half-hou - ' walks from Upham Street to the Highlands. As President of Hi-Y, he has fulfilled his office in a way that deserves high praise, for fully realizing the responsibility of his position, he lived up to it accordingly. “Joe” has ambitions toward Dart- mouth — mav they be realized. MARGARET QUIGLEY “Meg,” “Peggy” Clock and Plume 1 ; Euclidean Society 4; Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; Traffic Squad 4 “Peggy” came to Melrose High from the Washington School and hopes to continue on to Simmons College. She has sped on very blithely, indeed, through our corridors during these eventful four years, taking an especially active part in Girls’ Club work. Perhaps the reason she has made such a multitude of friends is that she has the best disposition in Melrose High and wouldn’t know- how to be mad at any one. We sincerely wish you every happi- ness in the future. SHIRLEY PRAY THE LOG M A RGARET RATCLIFFE Girls’ Club 3, 4 Meggy” came to M. H. S. from the Roosevelt School in 1926. Since then she has made many friends through her sunny disposition. We are sure some business man will find in Mar- gie” an efficient secretary as she has been a very good worker during her four years here. If you have never heard her play the piano or organ, you have missed a lot. We all wish you suc- cess, “Meg”! DOROTHY RAYMOND “Dot,” “Dotty” Girls’ Club 3, 4; Traffic Squad 4 Dorothy entered the Melrose High School four years ago from the Washington School. During those four years she has made many staunch friends who, by the way, are not all girls. “Dot ' s” two interests outside of school are baseball and Jamaica Plain. We wonder about the latter. “Dot” intends to go to B. U. to work for a degree. Best of luck, “Dot.” WILLIAM REED “Bill” Euclidean Society 3, 4; Thrift Council 1 ; Hi-Y 2, 3; Vice-President 4; Nuntiiis 2 “Bill” came to Melrose High from the Washington School in 1926. Although he is rather quiet in public, he has been a very steady and active member of the Lli-Y, one of the first of his class to be admitted. This year he has successfully carried out the duties of his office as Vice-President. He belongs to tiie Euclidean Society and is an ardent supporter of all school activities. “Bill” hopes to enter Harvard next fall and we wish him the best of success in everything he undertakes. LEONARD ROBERTS “Len,” “Lenny” Roberts popped into Melrose High with a bang, in 1926, from the Roosevelt School. He is the proud possessor of quite an audible voice, and his classmates may always hear him shout- ing to his friends while he is passing through the corridors of M. II. S. Lie is undecided as to what he intends to do after he leaves; but whatever he does or wherever he goes, we are sure that the remaining inmates of Melrose High will feel quite home- sick with out his smiling countenance. ARLENE ROGERS “Smiles” French Club 4: Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4 - For four years Arlene has been brightening our class with her happy smiles. We all love her for her pleasing personality. She never loses her temper; in fact, she hasn’t any to lose. She finds the silver lining to every cloud. Arlene doesn’t believe in worrying or hurrying. She takes life as it comes. Arlene en- joys dancing; another of her favorite pastimes is learning the words of “theme songs.” After considering stenography and photography. Arlene has finally decided to enter the candy busi- ness, which we are certain matches her sweet disposition. wjJwsQQooooammj iir i nr IJHia ]IL V Vx BYRON ROSTER Bi” Euclidean 4; Traffic Squad 4 Although “Bi” has been comparatively unknown to the ma- jority of us, his acquaintances pronounce him “one good guv,” and they ought to know. Bi” claims that on his recent trip to New Jersey in his Dodge (yes, my dear, lie’s a car owner), that he averaged 35 miles to a gallon. He adds, however, that his towage bills were large. That solves one mystery. How he got down there is a greater one. His plans after graduation are not concrete. Whatever he decides to do we all wish him success ! WALTON RUSSEL Duda” Baseball 3, 4; Hockey 3, 4; Traffic Squad 4 Four short years ago “Duda” decided to toss his fortune to the kindly winds, and come to Melrose High. Melrose High d ' d not harbor him long before he became prominent in his class. He distinguished himself in Freshman athletics and later in his Senior year was a star member of a championship hockey team. Without “Duda” the day seems less cheerful and a bit longer. Whatever Duda” does in later life, or wherever he goes we feel assured that only success will cross his path. 1 EUNICE SAMPLE “Eunie,” “Sam” Art League 4; Girls ' Club 2. 3, 4; Year Book 4 “Eunie” is one of our gayest and most lovable members. She has been very successful, socially and otherwise. The greater part of her interests in school work is centered in art and the Art League. She came from the Lincoln School as a shy Fresh- man, hut since then she has attained the dignity that rightly suits a Senior. She does not look forward to a future education, for she is to take up the duties of a demure housewife in the fall. And don’t we wish her happiness ! 32GQ3TCECSC THE LOG fW I.II.Y SANDERS “Lil ” Girls ' Club 3, 4 Lily came to Melrose High from the Lincoln School in 1926. She was a very quiet, reserved, and somewhta bashful girl. Al- though “Lil” has lost some of her bashfulness, she still retains the other qualities. Lily has not taken any active part in school athletics herself, but she is a firm supporter of our football con- tests. Her favorite sport is dancing and she is certainly perfect in that. Lily has decided to further her education by going to Bryant Stratton. We’ll “warren”-t she will he very success- ful there. Best of luck, Lilv. DOROTHY SANFORD “Dot” Euclidean 4; Girls ' Club 2, 3, 4 “Dot” came to this worthy institution in 1926 from the Washington School. She has been quite popular during her stay here. She is always happy and full of fun. Although she is not an athlete, she is a loyal supporter of the football and hockev teams. She joined the Girls’ Club at the end of her Sophomore vear and has been a good helper ever since then. In the Social Committee, too, of which she was a member during this las ' : year, she has done so much that wherever the committee is, Dot” is sure to be. She hasn’t decided where she will go next year hut wherever she goes we know she’ll be a success and we wish her the best of luck. BARBARA SEELY “Barb” Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4 In the fall of 1926 this fair damsel entered the “ole brick pile” from the lovely City of Malden. “Barb” is used to being- hailed as “Louise” because she is almost undistinguishable from her twin. She was an enthusiastic supporter of the football team, an active member of the Girls’ Club and a member of the 1929 Washington Trip Group. After taking a post-graduate course, Barb” intends to go to Simmons where we are sure she will make as many friends as she has in M. H. S. Good luck, “Barb” ! LOUISE SEELY Euclidean Society 4; French Club 3; Girls ' Club 3, 4 Here is one of the best-natured girls in the class, one who always has a cheery smile and is seldom seen downhearted. Louise came from the Brown Junior High School in Malden, arid since her entrance to Melrose High School, she has won many friends. As we all know, she is the twin sister of Bar- bara Seely, and the two seem very devoted to each other as we hardly ever see them apart. We understand that Louise intends to enter Simmons College in the fall to study secretarial work. Here’s wishing you the very best of luck in any thing you may undertake, Lousie ! AVIS V. I. SHAW Band 3; Orchestra 1, 3 Avis Shaw, one of the quiet members of the Class of 1930, lias not entered into many activities during her four years. She has, however, made friends by whom she will stand for life. She has been in the band and orchestra. We wish you the best of luck, Avis, in whatever may be your life work. -■mmm r rt A. s I t RUTH SIZER French Club 4: Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4 Ruthie” came to us from the Washington School in the fall of 1926. She is just full of knowledge, her brilliance show- ing forth in all of her A’s and B’s. She has studied for four years in the General Course, and still she is able to greet every- one with the most winning smile. Her nickname should be Cheerio,” for she is continually cheering up the discontented. She leaves us to enter Bridgewater Normal where she will prepare to join the throng of noble instructors. She has a pleasing per sonality and disposition which she plans to exercise on her pupils. Ruth is also an accomplished pianist. We all wish her the best of luck as a school marm. EDNA SLEVINS Bunny,” Billie” Debating Club 4; Girls’ Club 3. 4 Edna entered this fountain of knowledge from Wakefield in her Sophomore year. She came in arguing, and has been ever since in the Debating Club, even though she went down to a grand and glorious defeat at the hands of Saugus. Although she appears to be a very studious person with her great pile of books, we have it from a reliable source that she does very little actual studying. We wonder how she does it and still gets those “A’s” and B’s.” She plans to enter a secretarial school and then to invade the business world, although someone in Greenwood may look out for her future. We wish her good luck in any event, especially in the latter. BARBARA SMALL Interclass Basketball 1, 2; French Club 4; Girls Club 3, 4; Traffic Squad 4 Barb” entered M. H.

Her loyalty and Stirling qualities will surely carry her far along the road to suc- cess at Jackson College, which she expects to attend next year. LAWRENCE H.

ALBERTINA STEVERMAN Tina” Girls ' Club 4 Everybody has heard of “Tina,” who came to us from the Roosevelt School in 1926. Tina” may give the impression of being quiet, but is far from it when she is with her own crowd.

The explanation of why “Tina” has looked so lonesome is because her bov friend has been away to college. “Tina” is plan- ning to enter tire business world next fall and we all wish her the best of luck ! XBXcez y PAULENA F. STONE “Polly” Girls ' Club 3, 4; Masque and Wig 4 She is called “Polly” for short. A glance at her abbreviated height will tell why. “Polly” first entered these sacred portals in her Sophomore year, having journeyed here from Everett. She applied herself to her studies with the determination to “do or die.” According to the last report, she is still living so its safe to say that all is well. “Polly” has a decided flair for theat- rical. Her particular choice in this field runs to comics and emotional characters, and shades of Ann Howe she can emote ! She expects to devote the next few years to cultivating this tal- ent, and it is probable that we will sometime see a “glorified” “Polly” cutting up capers on the stage.

As a Freshman he slept a great deal ; but managed, as shown by his marks, to keep awake in Latin Class. He is believed to be the only person in existence for whom the doctor prescribed an automobile. Since he bought his model “A.” in October 1929, his natural fear of the fairer sex has been diminishing (rapidly). He intends to stay around M. H. S. for another year as a “P.

Under the able leadership of its faculty advisor and the various coaches, the Masque and Wig has produced many worthwhile performances The greatest work of the Club this year has been centered around the production of the play, “She Stoops to Conquer,” written by Oliver Goldsmith. It is by far the greatest attempt the Society has ever made and can safely be called one of the most successful This play was a most difficult one to put on, because of its necessary stage equipment, old-fashioned costumes, and script. Through this play the Club has won prominence for some hitherto unknown talent as well as added glory to those of previous experience. From this High School organization has grown a Little Theatre Guild of Melrose young people. It has carried on the traditions of the Masque and Wig and formed a group which is striving to further dramatic talent and interest in Melrose. They have produced two plays this year which have been highly successful in their own small theatre. The Club has formed a small library of its own within the last few years. It con- tains many well-known long plays, various collections of short plays, and the copies of the “Drama” magazine. The members of the Club have free access to this library at any time. Although many of these plays can be acquired from any large library, the Club has felt the need of a library for its own use. It has been of great benefit to the members of the school as well as of the Club. Tt is almost unnecessary to state that the success of the Masque and Wig this year has been due to its capable and energetic president. The Class of 1930 wishes to extend a cordial wish of good luck to the future members of the Society, and hope the Club will be continued as successfully in the years to come as it has been in the past. M. M. S. M Yb Yu C$ WC30C THE LOG Natai.ie Varley, TRAFFIC SQUAD Captain — Donald Wood Lieutenants Margaret Alvaro. Richard Hill. Warren Kinney This year the Traffic Squad was increased to a membership of sixtv-three, due to overcrowded conditions and the fire doors which have been installed. The captain, elected by the squad of the previous year, picked the members for the coming year. 7 ' he lieutenants were also chosen hy the captain from the group which served the preceding year. Each lieutenant was given a certain part of the building to cover. This year traffic has been slower than ever because of the crowded conditions of filing. Several plans were tested to see if this could be improved. Finally, the plan used several years ago, of filing both ways on the stairs, was adopted. The squad, advised by Mr. MacPheters, is an important institution in the school management. On the whole, the squad has performed its duties efficiently and each member has showed fine co- operation.

THE LOG Iil-Y President — Joseph Quigley Vice-President — William Reed Treasurer — Stanley Mason Secretary — T heodoke Schaeffer Corresponding Secretary — Warren Clark The Hi-Y curriculum was inaugurated with the opening banquet held in conjunc- tion with the Girls’ Cluh at the Y. M. C. A. hall with the Wakefield Hi-Y as guests. The speaker, Dr. Look of Springfield College, delivered a message well-suited to com- mence the activities of a new year. His subject was the “Outlook on Life.” Among the other speakers were Mr. Poole and Mr. Batchelder, who spoke upon football: “Bill” Foshay on “Maintaining a Balance;” Rev. C. E. Wood on the Ban- dits of Thibet;” Mr. Welder on “Lincoln;” Mr. Scott on “Hobbies;” Mr. Sprague, Mr. Russell, Mr. Foreman, and “Ed” Amazeen. Mr. Clark of the Y. M. C. A. led the Club in stunt-night activities. Rev. Garfield Morgan spoke to the Hi-Y and Girls’ Club upon their annual trip over to his church in Lynn, and Mr Bishop, the Assistant District Attorney for Middlesex County, spoke in an assembly of the school which was sponsored by Hi-Y. He spoke of obedience to the law. Through several impressive induction services, many members have been added to the Cluh during the past year. The year has been very successful both in regard to finances and in regard to the work accomplished for the betterment of conditions in the school and community. Much of this was due to the whole-hearted and continual efforts of “Mac,” who has upheld the burdens of the Club for several s r ears now, and Mr. Lacev. GIRLS’ CLUB GIRLS’ CLUB President — Madeline Smith Vice-President — Barbara Fur her Secretary — Ruth Monroe Treasurer — Jane Maguire Corresponding Secretary — Betty Bavier Under the leadership of “Mac” and Miss Blake, the Girls’ Club has grown consider- ably this year, the total membership now, being one hundred and seventy. These mem- bers have tried to carry cut the ideals of the Club to the best of their ability. Much credit is due Ruth Bancroft, Chairman of the Program Committee, who has made our programs both varied and worth while. The year started off with an opening banquet with the Hi-Y, at which Dr. A. E. Look of Springfield was the speaker. Among our other speakers were, Miss Chase, Mr. Robert Friend, Mrs. Grant, Rev. Leining, Miss Rowley, Mr. Adams, Rev. Holt, Mr. Clark, Mrs. Victor Friend, Mrs. Eldridge and Mr. Smith. Barbara Goss had charge of Stunt Night and also of the Kid Party. During October, Friendly Week was again held with Rev. Walter Woodbury as the speaker. Our Mothers’ Night was again very successful, with Rev. Leining for the speaker. Several discussions have been held with the Hi-Y on questions of interest and importance. We should be proud that we have a Club which stands for such high ideals and we hope that next year and in all the years to come, it will be successful. EUCLIDEAN SOCIETY President — Constance Bennett Vice-President — Henry Neunzer Secretary — Betty Bavier T reasurer — Lawrence Stanley The object of the Euclidean Society is to promote the standard of mathematics and science and to keep informed on mathematical and scientific discoveries. The Society is comprised of Post-Graduates, Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores who have had during the first two years an average of A or B in mathematics or science and are passing in the other. To retain membership one must maintain a passing aver- age in both mathematics and science. The Euclideans have enjoyed a profitable as well as pleasurable year in 1929-’30. The November meeting found Mr. Sprague as the first speaker of the year. He gave us a fine talk on, “The Application of Science to Education.” In December Dean Bacon, of the Engineering School of Tufts College, enlightened the Euclideans on the subject of, “The Electron.” The January meeting proved unusual in that it consisted in demonstrations of the mysteries of chemistry. Dr. Harold L. Margeson, at the February meeting impressed his listeners with his practical handling of the subject. “Teeth and Health.” The March meeting brought a large number of the members out to welcome as speaker Mr. Battles, the head of the Mathematics Depart- ment, who pointed out the interesting and novel side of mathematics. The year’s activities also included a trip to to the Tuft’s observatory which was, as always, enjoyed immensely by the members who grasped the opportunity of gazing at the wonders of the heavens. The Euclidean Society is swiftly growing in membership because of the interesting as well as instructive meetings that are held. The turn-out of the members each month is a witness of this increasing popularity. We members of 1930 wish the future Euclideans the continuation of our success. THRIFT COUNCIL First Row: R. Alexander, O. Davis, Mr. Boynton, W. Lamson, M. Damren, E. Mullock. Second Row: M. Carney. M. Harlow, E. Ford. M. Hindron E. Fillmore, F. Ilsley, H. Seaverns, Tyler, Lewis. THRIFT COUNCIL Thrift Advisor — Mr. Paul M. Boynton Chief Cashier — Kemptqn C. Lamson Chief Assistant Cashier — Marion Damren The Thrift Council, under the direction and supervision of Mr. Boynton, has reached a higher goal than has ever been attained before. We have eight rooms that have reached the 100 per cent mark, namely: S-l, 14, 17, 19, 20, 30, 39, 60. The school, as a whole, has a higher standing than last year. Over one-half of the student body has been depositing regularly. This year the Freshman Class has led the school in the number of deposits. The Sophomore Class has been right at the heels of the Freshmen all year long. We all hope that the fine work will continue and that in future years there will be even greater suc- cess to the organization. $ BAND MELROSE HIGH SCHOOL BAND The Band has worked hard and done well under the efficient leadership of Spencer Elliot It was an attractive aspect at the football games, cheering and inspiring not only the football fans but also the teams. It is composed of thirty-two members, not including the drum-major. The citizens of Melrose do not realize how much time has been spent in practicing; two. three, and sometimes four times a week, and again just before a game. The American Legion asked the Band to lead its Armistice Day Parade; it has also lead the parade on Memorial Day, and assisted at the Malden Tercentenary Celebration. There is splendid material among the Freshmen for a large band next year. We wish next year’s band the best of success. May the peopile of Melrose always be proud of it! mmmm CLOAK AND PLUME President — Lydia Barnes Vice-President — Benjamin Terry Secretary — Richard Pipe Treasurer — David Thompson Student Advisor — Edna Dalby Faculty Advisor — Ain. Carney The Freshman Dramatic Society were late in organizing this year for, at the end of last year, they were left without a Faculty Advisor. Early in January membership try- cuts were held, resulting in thirty-two members, and later in tl e month ti e officers were elected. Most of the success of the Club is due to its new Faculty Advisor, M. Carney, who has given much time and thought to the welfare of the Society. The Club has given no public perfomance this year because of its late beginning but plays were read at the meetings for entertainment. The chairman of the Program Committee and several members have been planning to entertain the Masque and Wig at its final social in the early part of June. The play they plan to present is, Six Who Pass While the Lentils Boil. This will be their only presentation this year, but we hope that with this foundation they will become better fitted members for the Masque and Wig Society in the coming years. THE FRENCH CLUB President — Constance Bennett Vice-President — Ruth Bancroft Secretary — Flora Bayagian Treasurer — ■ Barbara Means Faculty Advisor — Miss Chase The French Club lias completed a most successful year under the able leadership of Miss Chase. Each meeting has been arranged by a Program Committee, whose aims have been three-fold: to arouse a desire for a real understanding of France and her people: to become better acquainted with French literature and art; to acquire a better command of spoken French. Great interest lias been aroused through the exchange of letters with French students in “La Belle, France.” The Club extended an invitation to any French student in the school to participate in this project and the response was most gratifying. As a result of the year’s work and play, the members of the French Club repeat with Monsieur Hamel in “La Derniere Classe, Vive la France.’ ART LEAGUE ; ' irst Row: I. Layden, E. Whittemore, H.

The aim and purpose of the League is to promote a greater appreciation of art among the pupils. A committee of three was elected to draw up a constitution. At the next meeting, on November 25, the constitution was read and the officers were elected with the follow- ing results: President, Henry Neunze, ’30; Vice-President, Elizabeth Whittemore, ’30; Secretary, Elaine Pullen, ' 31, and Treasurer, Thomas Layden, ’32. The Progam, Deco- lations, and Bulletin Committees were also elected. The Christmas decorations for the past year were in charge of the Decorations Committee. This was the first time that any club or society in the school had taken complete charge of the decorations. Because of its first good attempt the League hopes to be able to continue to help with the decorations in future years. After many weeks of preparation the League gave a Valentine dance on the after- noon of February 14, 1930. Due to the splendid co-operation of the Faculty and the student body, this also proved to be a great success. On March 13, about twenty members of the League, with Miss Coyle, made a trip to the Boston Art Museum to visit the American rooms in the new wing. Mrs. Say- ward, of the Educational Department of the Museum, was the lecturer and told us many interesting things about the rooms and furnishings apropos of the Tercentenary. For a new organization, the League feels that it has had a very excellent year. The membership has rapidly increased from thirteen to thirty-six, and we hope in future years to grow to be one of the largest and most influential societies in the school. AxaiDOS ONixvaaa m : LOG DEBATING SOCIETY President — Lester Williams Vice-President — Joseph Quigley Secretary — • Gordon Washburn Treasurer — Louise Wallburg Faculty Advisor — Mr. Young (A Cm Members of Teams Lester Williams Edna Slevins Joseph Quigley Gordon Washburn Harold Ward Stow Persons Joseph Brya.n The Debating Society, growing out of a desire on the part of some of the boys of the school to revive such an organization, has had a reasonably successful year. A new constitution was drawn up which was soon extended to include the girls as members. Four interscholastic debates have been held. The first was with Swampscott High, on the question: “Resolved: that installment buying has been harmful to the nation.” The other three were with Beverly, Saugus, and Malden “Cognoscendi Causa” Society, on the question, “Resolved: that Congress should enact a law providing for a Depart- ment of Education with a Secretary in the President ' s Cabinet.” We scored one unani- mous decision and had one registered against us. In the other contests we secured one ote to our opponents’ two. Q : $ POETRY CLUB President — Felicia Townsend ( Vice-President — Shirley Pray Secretary — -Mary Elizabeth Pierce Treasurer — - Douglas Riggs Corresponding Secretary — Rosemary Bryan Faculty Advisor — Miss Putnam The Melrose High School Poetry Club comes to the end of its third successful year with satisfaction and confidence in the work it has accomplished. The purpose of the Club, which is to increase the enjoyment of poetry by better acquaintance with poets and their works, and give svmpathic encouragement to pupils who are interested in writing verse, has been thoroughly developed throughout the year by the combined enthusiasm and interest of its members. The Club has a membership of forty students. The monthly programs have included enjoyable readings of modern verse by Miss Putnam. Miss Dodge, and Mr. Carney, and the members of the Club. Foremost among the meetings, however, was the public meeting held in High School hall, when we were fortunate enough to secure Miss Nancy Byrd Turner, a Boston poet of much distinction, to come and give readings of her own poems to us. This meeting was well attended by Melrose friends and those of neighboring cities and towns. The Club has again endeavored to collect the best of the original verse written by the members of both this year and last year, and to publish it in a little magazine called, “The Twig.” The writing of original verse is constantly increasing among members of the Club. The Club again wishes to express its gratitude to Miss Putnam for her helpful guidance and instruction through the year, and for the valuable time which she has contributed to fostering the undertakings of the organization. THE LOG THE GLEE CLUB President — -Gordon Van Busktrk Vice-President — Kempton Lamson Secretary — ■ Elizabeth Conner Treasurer — - Arnold Williams Until the past year the Glee Club was a very small organization. After its first operatic production, “Riding Down the Sky,” the Glee Club came into prominence. Tb rough the leadership of Miss Holton it lias grown to be one of the outstanding organ- izations of the school. Various groups have sung at local affairs and contributed much to the furtherance of music in Melrose. On February 19. 1930, the Glee Club was honored by having Geoffrey O’Hara, well- known composer, speak to them in the High School hall. Soon afterwards, the Glee Clubs of the city presented a concert in Memorial Hall, and our Club contributed its services. The outstanding event of the season was the presentation of The Count and the Coed,” a comical operetta with an air of college life. It proved to he very successful and a great deal of credit is due the Glee Club. We wish Miss Holton all kinds of best wishes for her success with the Club in the future. 7 r yT 1 ’ 7 ZZ 7 °’T r ' as.Av X %T 4 .Ofr e p ?zr rr 3 4?

Melrose went into the finals into the Arena and showed without a doubt that it was the strongest schoolboy team of the year. The first evening they ran away with Newton to the tune of 5 — 0. The next game they won from Stoneham 4 — 0, and they gained the championship when they beat Arlington 2 — 1 in an exciting contest. In seventeen games against the strongest high and prep school teams, as well as college freshmen teams, Melrose won fourteen and lost three. With all their records, Melrose added another at the very end of the season when they placed four men on the All-Scholastic team chosen by the coaches of the league. These were: Captain Kinney, Ellwood Allmon, Herbert Keough, and Rexford Kidd. The scores : Melrose 9, Woburn 0. Melroce 5, Rindge 0. Melrose 2 Melrose 2 Melrose 1 Melrose 2 Melrose a, Arlington 0.

FIELD HOCKEY Captain — Gertrude Smith Manager — ■ Barbara Varsity Gerrish Coach — Barbara Goss Marjorie Sturgis Jane Maguire Anne Colbert Helen McKenzie Ethel Reardon Doris Gilley Rutii Monroe Eleanor Filmore Elizabeth Davidson Virginia MacDonald Hockey practice was called as soon as the School programs were organized, and as last year the squad had to travel to Pine Banks. Four players were left from last year’s varsity: Gertrude Smith, Jane Maguire, Marjorie Sturgis, and Doris Gilley. The sea- son began rather disastrously, the team being defeated 5 — 1, by Wellesley in its first game. Nevertheless, with the careful guidance and loyal patience of Coach Barbara Goss, it gradually emerged from the depths. The second game was a two-point loss at the hands of Lexington. In the next game we came up two more points, and tied with Malden. The third game also resulted in a tie with Winthrop. We again slumped when we met Swampscott, and were beaten by one point. From that time on the tide turned, and we defeated Winchester 2 — 1. This game afforded us a chance to tie for first place, if we defeated Stoneham. We entered this tie with Winchester and Winthrop on defeat- ing Stoneham A — 1. In the play-off game we were surpassed by Winchester, and put back into second place with Winthrop. For the first time second team emblems were given this year. This team was quite successful, winning three games, tieing two, and losing two. We feel certain that Eliza- beth Davidson will lead her team to success next year. BASKETBALL TEAM Front Row: A. Fuller, B. Foster, R. MacDonald. Second Row: P. Ritchie. J. Atwill. W.

BOYS’ BASKETBALL Captain — Robert Foster Manager — Clark Wallace Coach — George Scott Letter Men Captain Foster, Captain-elect Pact Ritchie, Vernon Atwell, Wilfred D’Entremont, Robert MacDonald, Arlan Fuller With scarcely any veteran material, the Basketball Team did not have a very suc- cessful season. Coach Scott and the players struggled hard to form a winning combi- nation, and did succeed in winning a few games. Basketball, however, has its season in the height of the hockey season, so that the majority of good athletes are playing the latter sport. Coach Scott has some veteran material to work with next year, and despite the various handicaps he will probably produce a good team. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL CaNaiit — Louise Fahey Manager — Betty Bavier Coach — Barbara Goss Varsity Rutii Monroe Jane Maguire Eleanor Moody Gertrude Smith Virginia Coughlin Anne Colbert Starting the season witli only one member of last year’s varsity, the Basketball Team proved quite successful This was clue mostly to Coach Barbara Goss who spent much of her time drilling the squad on basketball technique. The first game was with Win- chester and resulted favorably for our team; however, the second match, which was with Swampscott, resulted equally as unfavorably. The third game was, perhaps, the best of the season; the team met Winchester in a return game and again defeated them, this time by merely two points. The following week we defeated Medford twenty to twelve. The next contest, that with Lexington, was another victory for Melrose. The following game we went down to defeat for the second time at the hands of Watertown. The season was closed with an Alumnae game which also resulted in our favor. This left as a total five wins and only two losses. In the interclass games, the Juniors defeated all the other classes, and thus won their numerals. We fee! certain that next year’s team will have greater success.

Melrose starter! the season with eight letter men with high hopes of a championship. The first three games showed that the team had unquestionable power. In the fourth game, with Malden, however, the team Struck a snag. They outplayed a heavy, smooth- playing Malden eleven during the first half. In the second half Malden’s man-power counted, and they added two more touchdowns to the first period one. The team came back in the next four games and piled up large scores. In the Wo- burn game Melrose played their “perfect” game. Everything worked and, although Woburn had a weaker team than usual, the 49-0 score shows how effective the Melrose attack was. The following week was the worst for Melrose rooters. In a closely contested game between two powerful teams, Melrose proved to be the unlucky one. Watertown knew it bad been in a hard game before they eked out a 14 — 7 victory which gave them thel championship. In the Thanksgiving game Melrose started out strong and scored two touchdowns quickly. They were easily Arlington’s superior except in the last few minutes when Arlington, with nothing to lose, used a forward passing game very successfully. May next year’s team go get that championship! The games and scores : Melrose 12, Lowell 0 Melrose 0 , Malden 21 Melrose 49, Woburn 0 Melrose 24, Quincy 0 M el rose 20, Walpole 13 Melrose 7.

Tbe coach at the beginning of tbe season claimed that there was not a reason why Melrose should not be at the top of its league. It now begins to look as if be knew what be was talking about. As a result of a recent victory over Watertown, tbe league leaders, Melrose finds itself only a fraction of a game from first place. Tbe fine showing of our team is even more to be praised when we realize that tbe greater part of tbe infield are underclassmen, seme playing their first year of Varsity ball. With tbe whole infield back for next year, and some of it back for tbe next two rears, we predict a team that will give Melrose a little space in the Boston newspapers. The pitching, which this year’s team has been supported with, probably accounts in no small measure for its success. The majority of the games lost have been dropped by a narrow margin and by small scores. The games won have seen little scoring by the opposition. When we have pitchers who can bold the league leaders to five hits and baffle these sluggers by fanning fifteen of them, anyone will concede that our twirling is far from weak. TRACK THE TRACK When the call for candidates in track went out, there was a much heartier response than has been the custom in recent years. Despite the fact that baseball interferes with the track program, about twenty-five candidates have been reporting for all of the prac- tice sessions. Several dual meets have been arranged, and, although Coach Scott will strive to develop this year’s squad into a winner, he will emphasize development for next year. The leading candidates are Kinney, Lane, Sexton, Montgomery, Mayo, Donald Living- stone, Douglas Livingstone, Calhoun Pipe, Pike, Sibley, McGonagle, Kendall, Fuller, Cargill, Benedict. Atwell, Albert Lieberman, Walter Lieberman, Mahan, Daniels. The schedule : April 19. At Concord. April 24. Wakefield. May 10. Harvard Interscholastic Meet. May 13. At Winchester. May 20. Methuen.

How well the people of the Massachusetts Bay Colony showed their appreciation of the wise direction of Winthrop is shown by the fact that he was chosen as chief execu- tive almost continually, serving- twelve times as governor. His life’s work was spent in preserving for his people their charter so that they might enjoy the full benefit of the freedom guaranteed by it. Little did he realize that three hundred years hence, more than a million citizens ' of a great state would proclaim him as theirs and that the people of all future times would remember this great man who. in preserving the charter of his colony, laid the foundation of the mighty Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Mr. Superintendent and Members of the School Board : We, the Class of 1 Q30, gratefully appreciate the work which you have carried on in our behalf. You have given us the equipment and necessities required for making- cur education a tho rough, wholesome one. We sincerely hope that our High School will always maintain the high standard of learning which you have set for it. Mr. Principal and Members of the Faculty: We owe you much for the knowledge lou have unselfishly imparted to us. the care you have shown in our instruction, and the deep interest vou have taken in our progress. We can not discharge our obligation by more than an acknowledgment of the debt. With such coin of gratitude as we have, we pay you in fullest measure. Classmates: Four years ago we came here as strangers to each other in search of knowledge. Now, after we have attained our objective, we meet in one of the happiest moments of our lives, bound together by the great friendship which we have cultivated during our High School career. How can we express what such friendship means to each one of us? We meet here tonight but to part. Attached as we are by the ties of long association and sincere good-will, let us often reflect with joy upon the many friends we have made and the happy hours we have spent at dear Melrose High. Let us also remember the ideals and inspirations that we have learnd here. May they ever be our guide. JOHN WINTHROP Defender of Civil Liberties History has graciously preserved for us numerous impressive scenes illustrative of the time in which they occurred, numberless priceless documents representative of civil- ization in all its stages, and the tender memories of the chief actors of time. Of all the noble characters of the early seventeenth century, the one who com- mands a place nearest to our hearts is our generous, our altruistic, our patriotic, John Winthrop, Governor and father of that infant colony of the Massachusetts Bay. While every nohle deed of Winthrop calls forth open admiration from the people of our country, the one which has made and characterized him as particularly dear to us was his eager devotion to preserve that precious document, the charter of the colony, in which the sole instrument of her government, the aegis of all her power, and the one source of her true freedom were all defined in one. For us who live in the twentieth century and who are blessed with a given part in a government which is of the people and by the people, it is practically impossible to comprehend the true meaning of that document to the people of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. They were willing to sacri- fice all to preserve it in order to have what men of all ages and races most desire — freedom ! The occasions upon which Governor Winthrop rose to the defense of the charter are many. In 1633, the colonists were threatened with the gravest of all dangers, that of having their charter seized from their possession through the influence of the over-am- bitious Archbishop William Laud. During this crisis, our Winthrop, while not first in office, exercised a great influence, both with the government and with the people, in de- termining what should be done. Accordingly, we find that tiny colony defiantly doubling its infant fist in the face of a strong and powerful nation in its assertion of the law of self-preservation. Fortifications were erected; towns provided with storage houses; a military committee organized; and oaths of allegiance taken by all male citizens above the age of sixteen years. Fortunately for the brave colonists, England’s domestic trou- bles prevented her from fulfilling her most evil intentions at this time. As well as directly shielding the patent from the ever-grasping hands of England, Winthrop steered the government of his people in the direction which would least anger the mother country. Hence, when the colonists wished to take steps which would en- hance their political power by making a body of laws resembling the famous Magna Charta, the ever sagacious father advised his followers of the evil consequences which would undoubtedly follow any such action. Such procedures, he counseled them, would involve that ever-disturbing question of the charter, be repugnant to the laws of England, and stir her anger against the colony. As always, Winthrop’s sound opinion was fol- lowed by bis fellow countrymen. In 1634. while Governor Winthrop was engaged in directing the civil government of the Massachusetts Bay, another serious attempt on the charter was pending. King Charles began to realize with a thorough dissatisfaction how rapidly the seed of this colony in the new world was budding and how it would soon, if he did not use severe restraint, blossom forth into the flower of a mighty, independent nation. Accordingly, severe measures were immediately taken to prevent any such occurrence. The old Council for New England was dissolved: the King took absolute control of the colo- nies ; Ferdinando Gorges was appointed as general governor and given a thousand sol- diers to wrest the precious patent from the hand of Massachusetts. How sorely dis- tressed was our Winthrop at the prospect of having his people sacrificed to the conse- quences of such tyranny and with what enthusiasm and spirit did he proceed to organ- ize plans which would prevent such a disaster! If the prospect of such tyrannical measures so sorely distress Winthrop, how much must bis intense relief have comforted him when be learned that the plans of the enemy were in vain. Once again Massachu- setts was to be left safe and unhurt for the present, for England’s hands were totally engaged in hostile warfare with Scotland, and not even a finger of the royal govern- ment could be spared in wresting the patent from the colonists. In narating an account of the-.result of this attempt on the charter in his famous Journal, Winthrop, always rep- lesenting a strong spiritual belief, says. ‘‘The project took not effect. The Lord frus- trated their design.” Once again, the fate of the charter, and with it that of the colony, was to be de- cided by the patriotic governor England, now thoroughly vexed at her unsuccessful attempts to secure the patent, sent an order to the presiding officer of the Massachu- setts Bay Colony demanding its immediate return. By bis time, the colonists had learned to love and to cherish the liberty which was guaranteed in that famous document and would have shed their blood willingly as proof of their loyalty to its cause. Only a man with such a keen foresight as our Winthrop could possibly have seen the disaster which an encounter with England would surely have brought to Massachusetts at this time. He could see that the fruit of years of labor would be swept away; that the turmoil of war would soon destroy the heart and soul of that infant colony; and that the political and religious liberties which the colonists had enjoyed and prized as their own would be ruth- lessly torn from their grasp Surely the crisis was now reached. Would the colonists return their charter or would they resort to a combat which would doubtless end in dis- aster for them and theirs? When Governor Winthrop solved this critical situation, he proved that be was truly the savior of the charter. He saved it not by force, severity, or hostility, but by proving the worth of that famous maxim, ‘‘The Pen Is Mightier Than the Sword.” He wrote to the royal government a letter so thoroughly convincing, proving how the return of the charter would be as fatal to the mother country as to the colony, that even that determined nation realized the value of bis statements and was influenced by his sound advice. And thus Massachusetts again escaped. SALUTATORY By Elizabeth Bavier friends : It is my great privilege to welcome you here this evening in behalf of the Class of 1930. Teachers, may I take this opportunity to express our gratitude for your kindly interest as well as firm guidance. Parents, it is your generous sacrifices and loving encouragement that have led us to the completion of our High School education. We rejoice that you are here to share our pride in our accomplishments and to accompany us as we cross tonight a new threshold. JOHN ELIOT The Apostle to the Indians On this the Tercentenary celebration of the founding of the Massachusetts Bay Colony it is most appropriate that we consider gratefully the lives of a few of the men who made New England one of the most revered sections of this country. One man, perhaps not as widely known as some of the others, but nevertheless distinguished, bore the title as richly deserved as it was significant and honorable, “The Apostle to the Indians.” This man was John Eliot. Born in England in 1604, he was brought up by pious parents who instilled in their son that reverence and trust in God that underlay all his future actions. It was, there- fore, most natural that he should choose the Christian ministry as his life-work. The position of a Non-Conformist preacher was at that time uncertain and even perilous; so at the age of twenty-seven John Eliot resolved to go to the new world in the west, and work for God’s cause in the wilderness. He was fortunate in obtaining immediately upon his arrival the position of minister in the First Church of Boston, and later in Roxbury, where he took part in the con- demnation of Mrs. Hutchinson. It was in 1646 that Mr. Eliot became engrossed in the affairs of the Indians, for it was in that year that the General Court of Massa- chusetts passed an order to promote Christianity among the Indians. The Indian was, as he is now, very much misunderstood. He was neither the cruel savage nor the noble hero vividly described in fiction. He was simply a man whose animal nature pre- dominated, but who possessed, nevertheless, a spiritual germ in his heart. It was this Indian whom John Eliot loved. The first step he took toward teaching the Indian was to master his language. The only way to do this was to learn it orally from a native. This was a tremendous task, but at last he felt himself prepared to talk to the Indians in their own tongue about Christ. At Nonantum, now a part of Newton, the Indians listened respectfully, and afterwards signified that they had understood him. Their questions showed a keen interest in this new religion and a remarkable thoughtfulness. As time went on Eliot’s visits to the natives were more and more frequent and more and more Indians joined the bands that came to be known as the “Praying Indians.” They signified their inten- tions to keep the Sabbath, and the woods began to ring with their prayers. The little company steadily grew, with Eliot giving his time and heart to the blessing of the unen- lightened with civilization and Christianity. The “Praying Indians” met, of course, with great opposition among the sachems, and Eliot himself was often in great personal danger. However, the man who treated the papooses with gentle kindliness could face the most savage of sachems without dis- may, and meet their angry threats with a firmness before which the stoutest of them quailed. The time was now at hand when a town for the “Praying Indians” was to be established. The name of the town was, and still is, Natick. The Indians were gov- erned by the Scriptures; the Lord was their lawgiver, judge, and king. An example of how the Indians were showing the true spirit of Christianity is found in the reply given when tliev were asked at a meeting how they knew the Scriptures were the word of God. They answered, “Because they did find that it did change their hearts, and wrought in them wisdom and humility.” It was answers like this that gave Mr. Eliot new courage to strive even more at his task. As for the Indians — they loved him as a father, consulted him as an oracle, and gathered around him as a friend. They would sacrifice anything to serve him, and run any risk to defend him. When the small-pox laged fiercely among the Indians in 1650-51, it was these Christian Indians that worked incessantly to tend the stricken ones. Around 1650 Eliot undertook a stupendous task but one which he regarded as a loving duty — the translation of the Scriptures into the Indian language. This he did working under financial difficulties and having as assistants a few of the most intelligent natives. Even though today there are few Indians left to thank him for this Bible, yet it is valuable as a monument of painstaking love to the soul of man. For would a man undertake and accomplish such a discouraging task if he had not been stimulated with a devotion to God and a love for his fellowman ? An attempt was made to give the Indians a higher education, so two of the most promising, Joel and Caleb, were sent to Harvard. Joel visited his father at Martha’s Vineyard just before he was to get his degree. On the return trip the ship was wrecked and all aboard were lost. Caleb took his bachelor’s degree, but not long after Commence- ment he died of consumption. This was discouraging, and even more so were the results of Philip’s War in which many Christian Indians lost their lives. Still John Eliot taught and blessed, sympathized in their sorrows, begged them to be patient in their suffering, and reminded them that through much tribulation they would enter into the kingdom of God. One time a barn of grain was burned to the ground. The English owners had a mistaken belief that the Christian Indians were the culprits. In a rage they went to the wigwams of the innocent natives, called them out, and shot down six women and children. The terrified Indians fled to the forest where they remained until winter and hunger drove them back. They sent a message to the Englishman who had a part in the incident in which they said, “We are sorry that the English have driven us from our praying to God, and from our teacher. We did begin to understand a little of praying to God ” Under the kind tactics of Mr. Eliot, friendship was soon resumed. As we consider the trials Eliot underwent in his life and the sacrifices he made, we come to realize more and more that here was a great man — a man in whom we find no trace of spiritual ambition, no mark of self-complacency, no word of vanity during iiis forty years of labor among the Indians. He cared not who got the credit as long as God’s work was done. He dealt with the savage as one who must be taken by the hand and led like a little child who is taught by simple illustrations the truth of the Gospel . Of course, the question that is bound to come to the mind is, “What was the use of all this hard toil?” “Did any good come of it?” True, the Red man and his Chris- tianity have practically vanished from Massachusetts, but while he lived he was helped by his religion, and no spiritual culture is entirely lost. Moreover, on November 24, 1650, Eliot welcomed the visit of Father Druillettes, the Jesuit missionary to the Abe- nakes, to his home. These two men earnestly discussed plans for their beloved Indians and thus started the great missionary movement for the Indians that still flourishes. Eliot’s labors stand out as an everlasting record of good attempted hv men for man. When this noble man was nearing the end of his life, he was calm and bright. His task was done, and well done. He had been the first to break the ground on which the seed of the word of God was to be sown. He had dealt kindly with the barbarians; they had listened lovingly to him. He had left the Word of God in their hands. He l ' .ad been the divine comforter and friend of all. He preached as long as his strength lasted. Even then, he searched for some benevolent work to do. One of his last acts of charity was to teach a boy who. in his infancy had lost his sight. While death was fast approaching his mental powers wers still retained, and he waited in the antecham- ber of death full of hope. At last the aged servant of Christ died at his home in Rox- burv, on the twentieth of May, 1690, with the words, “Welcome Joy!” on his lips, leav- ing behind him a name whose purity will shine down through the ages to be honored forever by New England. ESSAY By Eleanor Walker ROGER WILLIAMS Crusader for Religious Liberty Down through the ages, ever since man was in his most savage state, one of his deepest instincts has been to follow his tribe in all matters of conduct and religion. Yet, in every age, there have been a few non-conformists who dared to worship as they saw fit and to suffer matyrdom even unto death for a principle of soul liberty. For this truth, men of all times have dared great dangers. Wars have been started, kingdoms have been destroyed, oceans have been crossed. This was the prin- ciple which drove a band of Puritans from the tvprannical rule which they had been endur- ing in England, to the wild shores of America. But, strange as it may seem, they fled from a tyranny which they found hateful and established a tyranny which they believed helpful and beneficial. They did not intend to offer their colony as a haven for those of all. faiths who wished to find protection and peace for themselves. They rather in- tended to establish institutions in which certain definite convictions were to be planted; convictions so rigid that no other institution could pcssiblv gain any power. They firmly believed, as did most of the nations at that time, that a union of Church and State was necessary for the safety of the state and preservation of the church. Free thought was considered blasphemous. Why should men have complete freedom of thought any more than complete freedom of action? Thought produces action. Must not a government control the beliefs of a nation, if it is to control its conduct? It was into such a colony, founded on such principles, that Roger Williams, lover of and legislator for absolute soul-liberty, came, late in the year of 1631. Although Wil- liams did not agree in all particulars with the ideas of the Puritans, he nevertheless felt, that in America he would be able to find a place where he might practice, unmolested, the religious theories which had become a part of him. What was this doctrine of soul-liberty? Williams’ creed contained four main points. First, there was the doctrine that persecution for the cause of conscience is most evidently contrary to the doctrine of Jesus Christ. From this it followed that no one should be bound to worship or maintain a worship against his own consent. His third principle was that church and state should be en- tirely separate, and finally, Williams believed that the civil magistrate could not and should not interfere in matters of conscience. The third principle, that of separation of church and state, is today a vital problem in certain nations, but for the most part, all countries have come to realize the justice of such a separation. Williams had been in Boston but a short time when he was severely criticized for statements he made concerning the right of a civil magistrate to punish such an act as a breach of the Sabbath. He also refused to join the Boston Church, because its mem- bers refused publicly to confess the sin they had committed in having once held com- munion with the Church of England. You will remember that the majority of the Puri- tans were not Separatists, and naturally, this rash statement caused an uproar in the colony. Because of these and other such statements, when the Salem Church asked Williams to be assistant pastor, the Boston Church objected, saying he was not fit for the posi- ion. In spite of them, Williams went to Salem and became well-loved, both as a min- ister and a citizen. While in Salem, he published a treatise in which he claimed that the Puritans had no right to the land on which they were living, because they had not legally purchased it from the Indians, and for this he was summoned to appear before the General Court. It is probable that if these opinions had come from any one else but Williams, they would have produced few or no results, but because they did come from him, he was most severely called to account. For the one and only time in his life, Williams displayed a submissive spirit. He offered to burn the manuscript, and having done this, he returned to Salem. The Boston authorities breathed a sigh of relief, but Williams was by no means silenced. In fact, be had iust begun. Back in Salem, he continued to preach his doctrine of freedom of conscience, and slowly but surely won adherents to his cause. It is difficult to decide whether Williams was banished from Massachusetts for purely religious or for political reasons. If in this day we are sometimes unable to say where religion stops and politics begins, certainly the Puritans mupst have been unable to do so. It is certain that the Court banishment statement contained no reference to his beliefs, but merely stated that as he had brought forth dangerous opinions concerning the authority of the magistrates, he should be expelled from Boston. Naturally, the fundamental reason was that he had caused such a commotion in the new little colony that those in power had grown to fear him and to believe that if he were allowed to remain, the people would become dissatisfied and possibly would rebel against the gov- ernment. The rest of Williams’ story is familiar. You will remember that he left Salem, and after wandering through the woods for many weary days, be at length purchased some land from the Indians and founded Providence. In all his dealings with the Indians, Williams was humane and just. They trusted him implicitly and because of his influence with them, he was able later on to save the inhabitants of the Massachusetts colony from destruction. The fact that he would do this is a furher proof of his nobility of char- acter. Never at any time did he become bitter toward his enemies, but rather seemed to be moved with pity for them, because they were so blind as not to realize the folly of their actions. Providence rapidly became known as a haven for those who wished to practice un- molested their own religious beliefs. Boston, on the contrary, emerged slowly from the mass of narrowness and bigotry which engulfed it, and not until 1833 did it attain the measure of religious freedom which Providence possessed from the start. We may be forced to admit that Williams was over-ardent and rash in so boldly making known his beliefs, reaiizing as he must have that trouble would be the inevitable outcome. But it is hard for people of this day to understand the uncompromising atti- tude which they adopted toward him. Williams was a pure-minded, virtuous man who lived a blameless life, yet he was persecuted and banished for trying to making clear the great religious truths in which he believed. His influence over the generations which followed him was enormous. Gradually bis doctrines spread. People began to realize the stupidity and unfairness of religious bigotry. More and more communities were founded which had freedom of conscience tor the very cornerstone of their foundations, until Williams’ doctrine has become a national belief, firmly planted in the souls of all right-thinking people. William Gammel, in his biography of Roger Williams, says, “The truths for whose sake he was persecuted and banished, which he toiled so long to establish, have become incorporated into our whole social system, and like many of the useful arts, from their very commonness and familiarity have ceased to remind us of their original discoverer. But he who analyzes American civilization and traces influences which control it back tc their sources cannot fail to appreciate the character and do honor to the name of Roger Williams.” MARSHAL’S ADDRESS Parents, Teachers, Friends: — On this occasion, it is my privilege, on behalf of the Class of 1930, to extend to parents, teachers, and friends, a most cordial welcome to this day’s celebration. We have i list completed four years of learning in old M. H. S. ; four happy years which we will hold fresh in our memories. Even as the Pilgrims successfully crossed the sea, ;o we have accomplished four years of endeavor and are now on the shores of unex- plored lands. As this is the next to the last time we shall he together in a group, we wish to make it one of the happiest of occasions. Let us forget any regret we have tor leaving our school and enter heartily into the merriment of this afternoon. CLASS HISTORY, 1930 Joseph E. Quigley Teachers, Classmates, Friends ' I have been honored with the position of Class Historian. As the Class, of 1930 is modern, and business-like, I have brought with me only a condensed text-book of a mod- ern Historian from which 1 should iike to read the History of the Class of 1930. I think it appropriate to start with a little Ancient History. Let us go back to September 8, 1926 , the fateful day when 281 students stood bashful, and hesitating before the good old Melrose High School, waiting for the bell to sound that would start them on a four-year course in trials and tribulations, good times, happy friendships, and instructive work. It didn ' t take us long to get started, especially Margaret Quigley. Mac” asked her what a caucus was, and in true Freshman style, she replied, a dead body.” Before the first quarter was over we were well acquainted with the Atlantic City Board Walk which led to our Freshman home rooms in the off-spring of Melrose High School. Life for us, as Freshmen, was full of novelties, and embarrassing moments. Mostly the latter. However, we did our s ' . are for the School as we were represented in athletics by Warren Kinney, “Fran” Lane, Jim” Keating, “Fllie” Allmon, Bruce Flanagan, and Charlie” MacCormack, who worked hard for the honor of the School. The girls earned their share of glory by placing some of their numbers on the sport- ing annals of Melrose High School. Among these were Barb” Griffin, Gertrude Smith, Ruth Brady, Eunice Bryer, Helen MacKenzie, and Jane Maguire. Peg Carney and Margaret Sullivan went out for the bowling team and placed. Since then these two young ladies have been permanent members of this team. We elected mayors for our Civics classes, placed a few names on the Honor and Credit Lists, and succeeded in electing Eleanor Walker, Betty Turner, “Dick” Hill, and Elizabeth Whittetnore as officers of our Freshman dramatic society, called the Cloak and Plume. This organization was the fruit of the efforts of some of our classmates in their Freshman year. Dick” Hill, and Eleanor Walker represented us in the presentation of “The Goose Hangs High.” These two Freshmen made their debut in this production, but since then have climbed to stardom in our dramatic circle. Just before our Freshman year came to a close, Frank Merriam was asked why he was so far behind in his studies. So I can pursue better,” answered the boy who wears number ll’s. A few of our socially-inclined members g ' athered up enough courage to attend the Junior Prom. I hen, after a few more weeks of hot days and hard studying, we were released in June to collect sunburns and freckles until September. Too soon the month of September rolled around again, and once more we stood in front of good old Melrose High School. This time we were a group of well read, knowledge-seeking, Sophomores. Just waiting for an opportunity to razz a Freshman. They say a Sophomore is a wise fool. Our Class decided to drop the last half of the appellation and remain loyal to the first part. We proceeded to get right down to business and elected the following class officers: ■‘Charlie” Wellman, President; Gertrude Smith, Vice-President; and Eleanor Walker, Secretary. This year we started things with a “hang” by having some of our members in the newly organized Poetry Club, and “Kemp” Lampson helped to organize a band. As a class we were beginning to enter all the school activities. On the School Life staff, Kemp Lampson was working hard as assistant advertizing manager. In foot- ball, “Jim” Keating, “Fran” Lane, P ruce Flanagan, and Trying Harlow represented our class by putting forth some fine work. “Elbe” Allmon, Warren Kinney, and Walton Russell worked hard at hockey. Many went out for basketball and track, but few were successful. Robert Foster, Warren Kinney. Charles Moore and Lawrence Moody were the successful ones. Tennis called forth Ell ie’’ Allmon and George Hinckley. Warren Kinney, “Fran” Lane, and “Fred” Patten played on the diamond for us. The girls again contributed their share to sports, with Jane Maguire, “Marje” Stur- ges, Edna Dalby, Gertrude Smith, and Eunice Bryer working hard at field hockey, while Marjorie Goldthwaite, “Barb” Griffin. Ruth Monroe, Louise Fahey, and “Marge” Stur- ges struggled on the basketball court. Before telling about our club activities, 1 should like to tell something on Dean Bumpus, who left us last year. A teacher asked Dean if the explanation she had given was clear. Dean said, “Yes, it ' s as clear as mud.” Oh, well, ’ said the teacher, “that covers the ground.” The Masque and Wig presented, “The Crisis,” in which Betty Turner played a part, and “The Valiant,” and “Three Pills in a Bottle,” in which Betty Jeffras, Eleanor Walker, Edna Dalby, and Richard Plill had prominent parts. In the operetta. “The Two Vagabonds,” Betty Jeffras played a fine role. This year was the first year of our famous cafeteria, and as “wise fools,” we cer- tainly did patronize that well-known eating place. Our Sophomore year soon came to a close, and we were again told to have a pleasant vacation because September always comes again. Our Junior year found a few holes in the ranks. Some of our friends had left Melrose to attend preparatory schools. We wished them the best of luck, and were always glad to hear when one of them should distinguish “himself,” or herself.” Also this year Miss Waite, Mistress of Afternoon Sessions,” resigned, and Gladys Coburn was appointed to fill her place. Our Llass officers for this year were: Warren Kinney, President; Louise Wall- burg, Vice-President; Madeline Smith, Secretary: and Robert Legg, Treasurer. Betty Jeffras gave this for an answer in History: “The Confederates advanced under neavy fire from the Union soldiers, and soon began shooting themselves,” and she was a Junior, loo! Wafien Kinney, Fran Lane, “Jim Keating, and Bruce Flanagan made them- selves famous in football. Warren and Jim” plus Robert Legg, Ellie” Allmon, and Walton Russell helped make our hockey team a success. Basketball and track called out many among whom were: Robert Foster, Robert MacDonald. Lawrence Moody, and Kemp Lampson. On the diamond we were upheld by Warren Kinney, Walton Rus- sell, Charlie” MacCormack, and “Fred” Patten. 1 he Girls’ field hockey team included “Barb” Griffin, Jane Maguire, Gertrude Smith Marge Sturgis, “Marge” Van Cor, and Peg” Carney with Barb” Gerrish as assis- tant manager. Much of the success of the girls’ basketball team was due to Louise Fahey “Barb” unffin, Avis Shaw, Marge” Goldthwaite and Ruth Monroe. bor dramatics that year, we had the Masque and Wig presentation, The Celebrity,” (W © SO THE LOG m which Betty Turner and Ernest Chard played leading roles, and the operetta, “Riding Down the Sky,” in which Boring Guibour, Gordon Van Buskirk, and others proved their musical abilities. On the School Life staff, “Stan” Mason, Kempton Lampson, and “Joe” Quigley were to be found working hard. We succeeded in placing a few of our numbers on the traffic squad, while many others were obtaining memberships in the various school clubs. Our junior Prom, under the able leadership of Warren Kinney, with Madeline Smith, Robert Legg, Louise Wallburg, and Ernest Chard, was a success, both financially and socially. We made the odd sum of $99.99 profit. After the Prom, the (lavs passed quickly and we were all looking forward to the time when w ' e could say, Yes, I am a Senior .” During vacation, one of our classmates took a trip, and in an art museum a guide told him that the handkerchief he was looking at was the original handkerchief used by William Penn. Our brilliant Junior replied, Oh, so that’s the original pen wiper.” Well, at last, the coveted time had come. W’e were Seniors; and the year for which we had longed the most was here at last. The most exciting, happy, fruitful year of our High School career lay immediately before us. Our Class officers for this year were: Donald W’ood, President; Stanley Mason, Vice-President; Madeline Smith, Secretary; and Fran Lane, Treasurer. The football team had a fine season, due to the efforts of Warren Kinney, Fran Lane, Jim Keating. Bruce Flanagan, Lawrence Lucy, Miner Cilley, and Byron Collins, as manager. The Euclidean Society, with Stan Mason as President, until he was obliged to give it up, and with Connie Bennett carrying on, had a very successful year. “School Life” came through with a successful year under the editorship of Richard Hill, who had many of his classmates help him. The Traffic Squad, under the command of Don Wood, did a fine piece of work, con- sidering the crowded conditions of our School. With the installation of the fire doors, cur squad was increased by twelve members. The Masque and Wig chose Dick Hill as President; Eleanor Walker as Vice-Presi- dent, and Ernest Chard as Treasurer. L’nder the leadership of these officers, and the directorship of Miss Hall, the Club gave as its annual presentation the play, “She Stoops to Conquer.” The play was a success with Ted Hupper, Betty Jeffras, Eleanor Walker, Byron Collins, Betty Turner, and Ernest Chard in the cast. The Glee Club’s contribution, The Count and the Coed,” was a fine piece of work. Credit is due to Elizabeth Whittemore, Alice Dunning, Loring Guibord, Gordon Van Buskirk, Dan Cadigan, and Arthur Pike, who made the operetta a most delightful one by the fine music which they rendered. The Girls’ Club and Hi-Y, under the guidance of Madeline Smith and Joe Quigley, have passed through a commendable season. These two clubs held many joint meetings, among which were Parent- Faculty Night, Alumnae Night, Good Friday Service, and Closing Banquet. The usual charity work at Thanksgiving and Christmas was carried out by these two clubs and the Appreciation Banquet was held again after a lapse of two years. A Debating Society was formed this year, and chose as its charter officers, Les Williams, President; Joe Quigley, Vice-President ; Gordon Washburn, Secretary; and Louise Wallburg, Treasurer. Although they were not very successful at winning de- bates we are sure that they have laid a foundation upon which a society shall be built that Melrose will be proud of it. On our championship hockey team, Warren Kinney, as Captain; Duda Russell, Elbe Allmon, Bob Legg, and Jim Keating, showed their spirit, while Sid Berkman did a good job as manager. The Poetry Club, with Felicia Townsend as President, did a great job, and pub- lished again, “The Twig,” a magazine containing forty-five poems written by our own students. THE LOG The basketball team, under the management of Clark Wallace, showed some good Ad. H. S. spirit, and the track team was right there with Warren Kinney, Fred Lieber- man, and Arnold Williams as participants, and Bob MacDonald as manager. The French Club, with Connie Bennett as President, and Ruth Bancroft as Vice- President, passed a profitable year in which much knowledge of French was gained in a delightful way. Our field hockey, and girls’ basketball teams, were both successful, but not without Eunice Bryer, Edna Dalby, Gertrude Smith, Jane Maguire, Marge Sturgis, Helen Mac- Kenzie, Peg Carney, Ruth Monroe, and with Barb Gerrish, as manager of field hockey, and Betty Bavier of basketball. The Year Book is under the competent management of Ernest Chard, with Byron Collins, Bob Legg, Jane Maguire, and Henry Neunzer helping him. The success of this day is due to the efforts of Dick Hill, Chairman of Class Day Committee, with Ruth Bancroft, Eleanor Walker, Stanley Mason, Elwood Allmon, and Warren Kinney as co-workers. Well, it is all over now, and as we think of vacation we think of Frank McLean and Boh Foster. Frank told Bob he should never go in swimming after a hearty meal. When Bob asked why not, Frank said to him, “Because you won’t find it there.” The days of this happy years have passed all too quickly for us. Now we are about to go on to higher institutions of learning or out into the world to seek our own way. Let us not forget this commendable record the Class of 1930 is leaving at Melrose High School, and may our members maintain the high ideals, the fighting spirit, and the clean record that has characterized their four years’ stay at Melrose High. Let us not forget, also, Mr. Sprague and the faculty who have done their best to prepare us for the posi- tion in life which is waiting for us. As a final word, T should like to close this history with a bit of advice : “Watch the Class of 1930 for their contribution to the ranks of successful men and women.” PROPHECY Ei.f.anor L. AIcMullin (Enter carrying crystal) Good afternoon, everyone. How time flies ! Here it is June 5th, 1940; ten years ago was Class Day, and, do you know, that T haven’t seen some of my famous classmates, for they ah have made great marks in the world since that day. Don’t you think it would he fun to look in on some of them by means of my crystal ? ft is only fitting that we should start our tour in the Ploly Lands, the home of the prophets. (Rubs crystal.) The churches of the world are having a great convention here, and “The United Churches of America” have sent Mary Elizabeth Pierce and William Thornton as their chief representatives. Errington W ard is hurrying around with his brief case getting all the particulars, and over there 1 see Avis Shaw out on a sight-seeing tour with a group of men. Other prominent people in the American delegation are: Althea Whit- ney, Louise Churchill, Ruth Sizer, Irene Jones, Hazel Blaisdell, Ruth Bavliss, Grace Crooker, Dot Strachan. Arline Rogers. Dot Wheeler, Winthrop Jewell, Laurence Stan- ley, Wilbur Leeman, and Charlie Moore. We are now in Egypt where War ie Clark, an American scientist of great stature, is excavating the ruins of an Egyptian tomb. Among his faithful helpers we find Ever- ett Cook, Charlie Davison, Irving Harlow, Arthur Pike, John Glover, Bob Foster, and William Alexander. Why, I do believe that is Sarah, the flirtatious wife of Abraham, reclining in that garden, but no, as the picture becomes clearer, I see that it is none other than Kay Peck. Now as I look to the other side of the garden I see Edith Bailev, Muri- el McCormick, Dot Munn, Shirley Pray, Sis Wallburg, Helen O’Malley, Eunice Sample, and Evelyn Whittier; and there among all these women we find Loring Guibord and Lawrence Lucey. It doesn’t take long to go to Greece, does it? Here I see a group of exhausted-look- ing souls sitting among the ruins of the Acropolis; why. I know them all — Tom Mc- Ardle, Fran Lane, Bruce Flanagan, Eunie Nash, Flossie flsley, Barb Griffin, and her dog. They’re on a vagabond tour around the world, and are just taking a little time off to rest up. Here ' s Rome. A great “Air Disarmament Conference is being held here, and Ernest Chard, an eminent speaker, has been sent by the United States with such other celebrities as: Bill Reed, William Montgomery, Edward Perkins, Gilman Bickford, By- ron Ruiter, and George Hinckley. Along with these men have been sent some very clever stenographers, all of whom were my classmates — Barb Furber, keeping the Spanish representative quite amused; Janet Willey, Dot Darling, Dot Foutier, Evelyn Ellsworth, Alice Dunning, Ruth Keeney, Gerry McHugh. Alice Lassone, and Dot Ray- mond. Now to Gay Paree.” We find that “LaBantique de Mademoiselle Marjorie” is said to be the most exclusive shop in Paris. The famous modistes who run it are Maunev Mack and Mary Knight. Some of their famous designers are Cal Dow, Ruth Brady, Barh Maculian, Edna Marr, Marion Chisholm, Martha Atwood, Marge Van Cor, and Nat Varley; and their known models are Peggy Alvard, Laura Burke, Glennys Davis, Marge Hoeckel, and Albertina Steverman. Mrs. J. Theodore Goulding, the former Ruth Bancroft, prominent New York society matron, now residing in Paris, is a frequent patron of this shop. We also find in Paris, Constance Bennett and Betty Bavier, able French correspondents to the New York Herald-Tribune.” There is a steamer, captained by Frank MacLean, ready to leave for Nicaragua right away. We had better take it for its only a two-dav sail, and I am sure we will have excellent service because two of our classmates, Frank Merriam and Bob Mac- Donald, are first and second mates respectively. The people down here have certainly bestowed great honors and gifts upon good- natured Joe Quigley, for his Better Citizens School” which, by its wonderful doctrine, has quieted the rebellious country. Down in Venezuela we find Stan Mason managing a rubber plantation. He has hired Wesley Wilbur and Warren Fletcher to supervise all the growing of the crops, for they have devised a process that will make rubber more elastic. Dot Hixon now owns a peanut plantation, given her by her father, in Brazil, and she has employed Paul Fellows to manage it, and you know you have to watch your calories when you are eating peanuts. Let’s get back to the good old U. S. A. and stop off at Miami where Nelson King is running a casino during the winter months; he recently married a Boston debutante. At Daytona Beach Bob Legg is trying to break the automobile racing record; that means pretty fast traveling. What familiar names of eminent people I hear in Washington. The younger wom- en, now more interested in politics, have formed a new political party of their own; prominent leaders helping to form this party are Barb Small, Eunice Brver, Edna Dalby, Evelyn Milano, Margaret Quigley, Dot Sanford, Marge Knapp, Marjorie Sturgis, Eva Wellington, Edna Farrell. Gwendolyn Towner, Charlotte Collins, Emma Giovino, and Millie Woods. Let s fly to Roosevelt Field where we find a great deal going on. Jane Maguire, ( iertrude Smith, and Helen MacKenzie are trying for the women’s endurance record. • )hvei Butler has recently invented a quiet motor, the greatest achievement ever to take place in the history of aircraft. Jimmie Keating is running a cross country air service: while Kemp Lamson is the world ' s foremost stunt performer, piloting the smallest plane ever to be manufactured. In the Big C t i y we find Dick Hill as editor of the New York Times,” and he has employed many efficient reporters as Ken Peck, Tyler Lewis, Fred Gibson, Henry attley, Arnold Williams, Alfred Lieberman, and Joe Goineau. These reporters are able to get the inside news from Dan ( adigan, still whistling his beat, but now as one of the Seigeants of the New ork police force. Also on the staff of the Times” is Madeline Smith, who is making a name for herself as a short story writer. In the “Times,” for today, we read many interesting facts, especially in the sport section. Now that the days of Babe Ruth and Eddie Shore have past, we find Fish” Kinney, the present “Home Run King,” and “Duda” Russell, famous hockey player, writing ac- counts of their athletic experiences. Sidney Berkman, manager of the Boston Bruins,” and Byron Collins, manager of the Yankees, are also writing for the paper. In one column we read that Charlie MacC ' ormack, famous fight promoter, promises a champion- ship bout next fall. On one of the pages is the ad of Sport Sport, exclusive Fifth Avenue men’s clothiers. The model — gloves and cane in hand, and a German police dog by bis side, Dick tells me, none but “Ham” Moody. On Wall Street Don Wood and Elbe Allman are working their way to be two big business men. Ted Hupper, employed by Don, is trying to get this fine afternoon off to go to his great-grandmother’s funeral, but Don knows that there is a double-header at the Stadium. Before leaving, we must visit the studio of America’s famous artist, Henry Nennzer. In walking through his hall of fame I see portraits of Liz Whittemore and Felicia Town- send, prima donnas of the American Opera Company; Eleanor Walker and Betty Tur- ner, two leading American actresses; Marjorie Goldtluvait, well-known poetess; and Betty Jeffras, distinguished American playwright. And now, the hour is fast moving on, my cyrstal will tell me no more; but we have seen what marked strides have been made by “That Old Gang of Mine.” -STATISTICS FOR 1930 By Nelson King Seven million, eight million, ten million. Check and double check. I’ve done so much of the impossible lately, that is thinking, that I don’t know whether I am coming or going, so to remedy this peculiarity 1 walk backwards. Being Statistician for such a class as this could not be called a position in any sense of the word, but it can exactly be called a job. Of course, the Class of 1930 has all the usual celebrities in its midst as had all the previous classes, but to make my job harder and much longer, Frank Merriam in- forms me that two very large gifts were given him 18 years ago, and different from most gifts his two grew until they are now the enormous size of No. 11 shoes. Frank, you can afford to stand up. I beard Frank asking Mr. Wilder what a good occupation for him would be, and Brother Wilder informed him that he should get a job tramping down tennis courts. The reason I was counting when I came in was that Frank has just had his shoes tapped. Each sole weighs five pounds, he has two feet, I think. Let’s see, 5 x 2 — Mr. Battles, how much is it? Oh, yes, 10 pounds. So with the avoirdupois of the class al- ready at the sum of 22.981 pounds, we now have a grand total of 22,991 pounds W eve got to have something big on the program: so I now call on Bill” Mont- gomery, Kemp Lamson, Don Wood, and Fred Gibson. Come on down, boys, and show the folks how small you are. Here are our Giants, otherwise known as chandelier clusters. 1 have arrived at a very startling fact. By some very difficult figuring by logarithm the Mathematics Department, along with me, has figured that if we had these four fellows stand on each other’s heads, and the rest of the class on these, the fellow on the bottom would be all broken up about it. Will Don Wood and Madeline Smith please rise? Ladies and Gentlemen, here aie oui two most Popular Members. Don attracts the crowds hv bis winning per- sonality and His extreme height, while Madeline draws humanity to her by some mvs- teiious ways that are her own secret. Also, Madeline has been cbosen bv unanimous vote to possess the sweetest smile. Isn’t that right Madeline? (Looks at clock.) At this time T must introduce our most Athletic Comrades. May I disturb Warren Kinney and Jane Maguire? Look them over, folks, for there’s no others like them. I know you would like a demonstration, but we’ve got to go on. “Don” Wood and Betty Turner, leave your comfortable seats and join me for a moment, will you please? Behold, my friends, our Handsomest Boy and Prettiest Girl. I won’t wish you the bad luck that some classes have wished on such members, that is, being in the movies, because in the “talkies” today, nearly all stars have dou- bles, and no one could take you r places we know. So we will just call you our Venus and Apollo. The Class Woman Hater is the curly-headed chap who goes by the name of Law- rence Lucy. Lawrence loves a woman as much as a traffic cop loves Loring Guibord. The only thing I can do is to get Kay Peck down here. Come on down, Kay ! Kav is our class flirt, and is the only one 1 know of who could change your point of view. Lawrence. All right, take him back, Kay ! Avis Shaw it is now ' your turn. Ards is our Class Man Hater. They tell me that Avis and Mary Elizabeth Pierce were trying to organize an anti-male league. In contrast to the last few celebrities we have to have a Ladies’ Man. This office has been filled by none other than Loring Guibord. Yes, Loring, if you please. Loring tells us that with the females he is just irresistible and we Bet-ty is. It would be unfair to ask Don Wood to rise again, so we will gently inform him that he is our Class Blusher. “Jim” Keating. Thank you ! This is our Most Successful Bluffer. I heard one on Jim the other day. In his English Class the teacher asked a pupil to use a sentence containing ' the word mastodon. One of the pupils got up and said, “ ‘Jim’ Keating’s sentences were all correct. His father mastodon them for him.” You see, Jim, we’ve all got your number. I might mention here, that for this office the class put down thirty-three names in all. What a class! On the other hand, Ted” H upper is our Least Successful Bluffer. As often as “Dick” Hill and Mary Knight can leave their other interests, they visit the movies. They were, consequently, elected the Class Movie Fans. Barbara Furber has been chosen as our Class Wit, winning said office by one vote over Irving Harlow. Barb’s jokes remind me of a story about a man who had been rescued from drowning. A friend asked, “What were your feelings when you were nearly done for?” The rescued replied, “Too deep for words.” So are Barb’s puns. Our Class Clown is “Tom” McArdle. You know that one day when Miss Chase said to Tom, she said, “McArdle. vou should place vour hand over your mouth w ' hen you yawn,” and bright and foolish Tommy replied, “What! And get bitten?” Did you hear that little giggle up hack there? That was Florence Ilsley, our Class Giggler. Isn’t it a cute little giggle? Roger Mvrick and Marjorie Mack are our Best Dancers. Want to demonstrate? I guess not. “Marnie” hasn’t her dog with her, and Roger’s shaved off his mustache. Betty Bavier had little difficulty in carrying off the title of Class Genius. She at- tributes this to the fact tha she has ever been faihful to her work. (Looks at clock.) To break the monotony, I will tell you a few other things. Our favorite sport is football, while our favorite recreation is dancing. Mary Elizabeth Pierce, however, voted for sewing. The average age of the Class is 17 years, 6 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 8 hours, 45 minutes, and 10 1-5 seconds. It may interest you to know that the numerals in 1930 add to 13 ! And they never will again in this century. However, we consider 13 as a lucky number. It grieves me to call on Betty Turner and Ernest Chard for they look so com- fortable. They certainly must carry themselves this way wdiile I announce that they have been elected our Class Actress and Actor. By their acting our plays have always been a great success. We thank them and wish them luck. About a week ago a girl in the Senior Class came up to me and said, Nelson, is there any Bashful Boy in our class this year?” Well. I had to admit that there was. vnd now 1 11 introduce him to you. Lawrence Lucy, please rise again. Thank vou. 1 hen there is also our most Bashful Girl. No bov asked me if there was anv such thing as a Bashful Girl, for “we,” meaning the boys, the member of our class who deserves this title. Well, now who shall we have for Class Grind? Class, I 11 put it up to you. Who shall it be? You are right for the first time. Mary Elizabeth Pierce, will you rise please. One can always see Mary either carrying an armful of books or studying every minute she isn’t reciting. The Most Original member of this most original class is the most Honorable Bettv Jeffras. For Betty’s originality she has been given the honor of making the Presen- tations. We now have something unique on our program. The votes for Class Best Natured Boy and Best Natured Girl were very varied. However, the total shows that our good friend Joe Quiglev, and his little sister, Margaret, have heen chosen to fill this position. We all fee ' that they have been very wisely selected. A dead-lock was held by the “corn-cob Twins,” Everett Cook and Warren Clark, with the three inseparables. “Fran” Lane, Bruce Flanagan, and Tom McArdle for the Class Pals. Cook and Clark are pals in everything but girl friends, for Cook’s lives on Sargent Street, while Clark won’t tell about his. “Fran,” Bruce, and “Tom” are real politicians. They advertised themselves by having their class pictures taken in one sitting. The Class Poet is Marjorie Goldthwaite. Month after month she has contributed poems to our famous “School Life.” It is only necessary to say that “Billy” Shake- speare’s reputation is liable to receive a severe jolt with such a genius at large. That is all I can sav in this case for I know nothing about poetry. In Muriel McCormick w r e have an exceptional character. By her hyperboles and other methods of exaggeration she has well earned the name of Class Exaggerator. She can go out with a fellow from Saugus High School in an old Ford and make you think she has been out with Charles Lindbergh or “Buddy” Rogers in their respective air plane or Packard roadster. However, this characteristic comes in handy. Very often one has to make a good impression. Our most sedate and imperturbable person is none other than Felician Townsend. As the Most Composed person she is excelled by none. Nothing can phase her and no one tries to for Felicia is too nice a little girl. Marjory Van Cor, please rise! Don’t he so nervous and excited, “Marj.” We aren’t going to do anything to you. Folks, “Marj” is our Most Easily Excited mem- ber. Just watch her. Yes, you can sit down. You’d better before you fall down, don’t you think so? Our Most Fastidious Member is Lawrence Moody. “Alley — Oop” Lawrence ! His bright haberdashing and new styles are only excelled by one thing, that being his good looks. All agree with me? My friends, you see I am very optomistic. I must ask you to be on your best be- havior for the next few moments. I am about to call on the Most Dignified member in the Class of 1930. He is not unknown to you. Kempton Charles Lamson will kindly march forward. Allow me to congratulate you, Mr. Lamson (shakes hands). 1 am glad that at least one of our members knows how to conduct himself. I think we will let you go for Santa Claus didn’t tell me anything bad about you. 1 he next victim has been elected to an office which is not a verv popular one for any one to have. But duty is duty; so T call on Althea Whitney. Althea has been chosen as our Class Saint. You know, Althea was Gck once, and the doctor came to see hei often. On one of these visits he sa ' .d to Althea, “How are your lessons coming?” Althea wondered what lessons he could mean because she said, “What lessons, Doctor,” Why, said the Doctor, “your convalescence.” Ly all this would-be speech you will begin to be missled in a moment and think T am an orator. But, our class has a real competitor to Daniel Webster, Patrick Henry, and Henry Cattlev in the personage of the Honorable Ernest Chard. “Ernie” can talk on . any subject from eating to flying, with words containing from seven to fifteen cylinders. When I came to count up tine votes for Class Songster, T had a job. You know what ? Someone even went so far as to put my name down. However, we found one. This canary’s name isn’t “Arabelle,” hut Coring Guibord. Do you want to sing “Mar- jory” for us, Loring? He says he can’t. He must have an inspiration in the audience I hear. I didn ' t mean that as a sarcastic remark to my honorable friends out front there, because T can see a few “inspirations” that even I would like to know. Because of Mr. Carney’s popularity, or by his clever puns, there is no difference, English has been chosen as our Favorite Study. I can’t ask her to stand. Blue is our Favorite Color. Of course, our Class Infant, Everett Cook, voted for blue. Our Class is not afraid of the dark, because they voted by a large majority for Brunettes. However, Betty Jeffras adores red heads. Well, T seem to see an end to my figuring. Once more, my dear friends, the sta- tistics of a Melrose High School graduating class have been given to you. I think that never before have there been such illustrious personages presented to the public as there have been in this class. And in the future, friends, it is my sincere advice to you to watch for the achievements of the class of 1930. We’ll always be on top. Wait and see. If in doubt, call Melrose — 1930!
