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.

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.

Loring is one of the most popular members of our graduat- ing - class and is easily recognized by his famous “also.” He likes the ladies, and the ladies like him (especially those in the Freshman Class). We all know the fine work that Loring did in the two operettas and hope that he shall continue his good work in music. He is also an artist of renoun, but in spite of all these outstanding qualities, Loring is planning to attend Tufts Engineering School where he may continue successfully unhin- dered by co-eds. “Lorry Glee Club 3, 4; Hi-} ' 2, 3; “Count and the Coed,” 4; “Riding Dozen the Sky, 3 HANNAH HAMILTON Hannah entered Melrose High School as a very timid girl, but four years have made a change as a certain teacher in Room 59 thinks. She has always been a good scholar and has won her classmates’ praise as such. When anything amusing is going on. Hannah is always present to add her bit to the fun. When she is outside of school, her favorite sport is motoring, especially when the auto is driven by a certain member of the opposite sex. Hannah expects to enter the business world, and all her friends wish her the best success in whatever she undertakes. c IRVING MILES HARLOW “Gangster” Debating Club 3, 4; Euclidean; Hi-} 2, 3, 4; Traffic Squad 4 Irving graduated from the Roosevelt School in ’26 with the rest of the members of the honorable “Highland Bearcat Club.” Upon entering this institution of brain training, “Gangster” took up the Scientific Course. “Gangster” is not inclined toward the opposite sex. Perhaps he really is, but he does not believe in showing his affections. We are led to believe that “Gangster’s” non-inclination for the girls accounts for his success in his course of study. Irving has received an average of B in all of his sub- jects so far. Irving plans to go to M. I. T. and take a course in chemical engineering. The Class of ’30 send their wishes for success and good luck at Tech. FRED D. HARRINGTON Fred is another one of the quiet members of the class, that is in regard to school activities. He hasn’t participated in any of these or any of the school athletics, work outside of school having kept him busy. His marks throughout his four years have been very good. W’e do not know just what he is planning for next year, but a fellow like him is bound to succeed. Best of luck, Fred.
