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.

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.

THE LOG 1C MARJORIE L. GOLDTH WAIT “Marj,” “Marnie” Intcrclass Basketball 3, 4; Girls ' Club 3, 4; Orchestra 1. Poetry Club 3, 4; School Life 1 ; Librarian 3, 4 Marjorie is a rather quiet but popular girl. For four years her tall form has been seen here and there throughout the school. She has many hobbies, the most important being poetry and sing- ing. Not many know of her lovely voice, but her passion for poetry has given us something lovely to read. She has been an ardent member of the Poetry Club during the past school year, and a member of the Girls’ Club for two years. We hope that she will be as well liked everywhere she goes in the future. EMILY GRAVES Girls ' Club 4 Emily came to us from Malden in her Freshman year, bringing a gentle, generous smile which at once made us love her. She is friendly to all, but to her pals she is faultlessly faithful, ever offering her sympathy and cheer. Her favorite recreation is dancing, and we’ll all agree that the art has won her many admirers. If modest beauty and a sweet disposition assure success in secretarial work, then the road is certainly bright before our speedy typist. So it is with all our heart. Emily, that we are wishing a happy future for a happy girl. JOHN GREEN “Johnnie’ In 1028 “Johnnie” came to us from Saugus High. He is one of tho. e young fellows who declares that gentlemen prefer blonds, and be has the preference. Be that as it may, it has been rumored that John has been seen frequently in tbe neighbor- hood of Beech Avenue, which would seem to prove the statement. However, in our two years ' acquaintance with him, we have known him as a happy-go-lucky fellow who is always ready to help in any hard work. (Wes, he is!) Although “Johnnie” doesn’t take part in any of the school activities, he has made many acquaintances, especially with the fair sex. “Johnnie” in- tends to work next year, if he doesn’t get put in jail for speed- ing. We all wish you the best of luck, John. BARBARA GRIFFIN “Bobby,” Barb,” “Barby” Interclass Basketball 2, 3; Euclidean, Girls Club 3, 4; Thrift Council . Baseball 4 Because Barbara is shy, many of her classmates have had the misfortune not to know her well. Those who do have found in her a ready comrade and a loyal friend who is always ready to help out. She is an excellent student, her name usually ap- pearing on the Honor or Credit Lists. Each year she has gone out for all girls’ athletics, and in her Senior year she received her second team letter in field-hockey. She has also been an en- thusiastic spectator at the boys’ sports. Her other activities were the Thrift Council, the Girls’ Club, and the Euclidean Society. She has not vet decided what she will do on leaving High School, but we know she will go far for whatever she takes up.
