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.

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.

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” !
