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.

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.

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 !
