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.

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.

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

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.
