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.

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.
