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” !

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.

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 !
