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.

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.

THE LOG EMMA G 10 VINO “Emmy” Girls ' Club 2, 3, 4 “Emmy” came to us from the D. N. Gooch School in the fall of “’26.” Although Emmy” has not participated in many of the school activities, her sweet smile and personality have won her many friends. “Emmy” may be remembered by her “cherie,” which she hardly ever is without. “Emmy” is undecided as to what she will do next year, but we all wish her luck and success in whatever she may attempt to do. ANNIE RUTH GITTES Honey” Art League 4, Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; “Count and Coed 4; “ Riding Dozvn the Sky, 3 Four years ago Annie, otherwise known as “Honey” by her classmates (especially boys), entered High School from the D. N. Gooch School. During the four years “Honey” has been ac- tive in many clubs, taking part in their presentations. Besides this, she has been a good scholar, excelling in bookkeeping and commercial law. She has always been an ardent supporter of all the school sports and could always be seen doing her bit to cheer them on to victory. Outside of school she is either found play- ing tennis or dancing. After school she almost always has an important engagement in Room 59. Next September she will be seen hurrying down the street with a students’ bag. Sbe is going to college to further her education. JOSEPH H. GOINEAU “Joe” Euclidean 3; Hi-Y 3, 4; Traffic Squad 4; Debating Club 4: Masque and Wig 3, 4 “Joe” came to this school as a Freshman in 1926 from St. Mary’s Grammar School. Although a rather quiet fellow, “Joe” and his friendly smile are well-known throughout M. H. S. He never bothered much with athletics but was an active member in several clubs and is a charter member of the new Debating Club. His musical talent and girl friends always keep him busy out of school hours, but his studies never show much lack of attention. If a new style of neckties or even a bright color is an- nounced, “Joe” is wearing one the next day. His future is not definite, but whatever “Joe” does, our best wishes for success are with him. JOHN GLOVER “Joh nnv” Hi-Y 3, 4; Masque and Wig 3, 4; “She Stoops to Conquer ,” 4 John came from the Roosevelt School with the Class of 1926. He has spent four short years preparing for college; during which his record has been good. We wish him luck and every success into whatever he may venture.
