DOROTHY FORTIER “Dot,” “Dottie” Girls’ Club 4 Dorothy is one of the baby members of our class. She came to us from the D. N. Gooch School in the fall of 1926. Although she has taken part in but few of the activities, her winning personality has won her many new friends here at the High School. Whenever “Dot” has a spare moment, she is in the vicinity of Room 38. We all wonder what the attraction can be. Dot” is planning to enter Burdett College next fall, and we all wish her luck and success in the future. ROBERT FOSTER “Bob” Basketball 3, 4; Captain 4; Traffic Squad 4 This calm looking young fellow is a product of the Gooch School. “Bob” has distinguished himself very much in his four rears in Melrose High, both by his scholastic ability and his ath- letic attainments. Being an outstanding basketball player, he was chosen captain in his last year and served very ably in that position. “Bob” is also a remarkable swimmer, having won the Two-State Y. M. C. A. Championships in this event. He is en- tering Bowdoin in the fall, and great things are expected of him. WARREN FLETCHER “Fletch” Traffic Squad 4 Our friend came to us in ’26 with the other celebrities of the Washington School, a bright and snappy little fellow. He jumped into the Scientific Course with evident success for he intends to enter Northeastern in the fall. During his four years with us, he was ever present but rather passive. His favorite indoor sport is dancing, and his favorite outdoor sport is walking with a certain Junior. Best of luck, Fletch,” and may Juniors always smile. Football 2, 3, 4 Here, folks, is one of the best-liked boys in our class. Bruce, with his sunny disposition, fair face, and genuine all-aroundness, has won an army of friends, especially girls. His only regret is that he isn’t twins, then he could keep all of his dates. Coach Poole also wishes Bruce were twins for if there were two of him on the team there is no telling how many championships we would win. He is a member of the Lane, McArdle, Flanagan combination who have managed to graduate somehow or other. We “Wanda” what Bruce is going to do when he graduates, anyhow we know he will be a success.

E EVELYN ELLSWORTH “Evy,” “Ev,” “Billie” “Billie” came from the Washington School four years ago, a very (juiet individual. However, times do change, especially the styles in housedressing. She is sure to he found in the midst of some animated group. “Evy” takes everything as it comes along and never worries, although no matter how hard she tries, she can’t win the booby prize in bridge. We wish her every suc- cess in whatever she decides to do. whether it is stenographic work in Boston or other business in Wakefield ! EDNA V. FARREL “Ned,” “Neddie” French Club 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Masque and Wig 4; “Count and the Coed, 4; Riding Down the Sky,” 3 “Ned” came to M. H. S. from the Roosevelt School and has succeeded in everything she has attempted. It took her two years to pass geometry, but we commend her for her perseverance. Last year she wrote a Health Play which won a prize as all her friends knew it would. She excells in all her studies, although she has never been known to really study. She is best, however, in modern languages and even succeeded in Latin. She wishes to continue her study of languages, and we hope to see her an in- terpreter in the not too distant future. LOUISE FAHEY Basketball 3, 4; Captain 4; Girls ' l lab 3. 4; Poetry Club 3, 4 Louise has made a name for herself in athletics. For three years she has been on the basketball team. Her Senior year she was their able captain. In Girls’ Club she was on the Social Committee. She is not afraid of work and is always ready and willing to do whatever is asked of her, always striving to add to her “store of knowledge” in every way. Outside of school she was an officer in Girl Scouts. Although she has not decided what she will do when her High School days” are over, her pleasing disposition will carry her to success, whether she goes East or West. Good luck to you, Louise. KARL A.

ISABELLE L. FRENCH “Dick” Cloak ami Plume 1 : Girls ' Club 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 3 “Dick” is the possessor of a well-balanced mind and not too large a tongue, assets which will render her pleasing anywhere. The latter accomplishment, her dislike to waste words, has led many to believe her quiet. Her closest friends, however, claim to find her decidelv the opposite. If a determination to be some- thing other than driftwood on life ' s tide means anything, the fu- ture, indeed, holds auspicious things for “Dick.” Jackson Col- lege, which she intends to enter in the fall, should provide her with excellent material for the ship on which she has set her eye. BARBARA FURBER “Barb” Girls ' Club 3, 4; Vice-President 4; Traffic Squad 4; P. C. Leader 1 Barbara Furber, more often known as “Barb,” came to M. H. S. from the Roosevelt School. She is rather innocent looking, but that holds true on the surface only. Wherever she is, there is sure to be a lively time. She is a loyal supporter of both the football and hockey teams. We don’t know who the attractor is. “Barb” is a member of the Girls’ Club Executive Board. She is also an ardent lover of Girl Scouting.She expects to enter Katherine Gibbs’ School next fall, and we all wish her the best of luck. BARBARA GERRISH “Barb” Cloak and Plume 2: Field Hockey Manager 4; Girls ' Club 3, 4: Masque and Wig 2. 3, 4; The Crisis ,” 2; Traffic Squad 4 Along with the innocent Freshmen of the Class of 1930 was a girl who seemed to be above the rest — more reserved and un- assuming. Through her four years she has retained this poise and manner which has endeared her to her classmates. Although in after years, when our classmates are more or less forgotten. Barbara’s smile and charm will always remain with us. She has remained true to her old friends, but she has made many more new ones who can always be sure of her friendship. JOHN F. GIBSON Among the Freshmen from the Washington School was one who wasn’t little, but big. This outstanding figure was “Fred- die.” His height was probably the reason for his seeming bash- fulness in the presence of members of the opposite sex. This fallacy did not hinder him from being liked very much by those who became acquainted with him. He was very quiet in school affairs, not participating in any athletic or clubs. We do not know where or what you are preparing for, “Freddie,” but we wish you the best of succcess in all you do.
