FLO REN Cl ' HECirr Girls ' Club 3, 4 Here is another quiet girl. Goldsmith must have been re ferring to people like Florence when he said, “Modesty seldom re- sides in a breast that is not enriched with nobler virtues.” Flor- ence has a kind word for all whom she meets. She has done well in her studies, and next year she plans to enter the business world where we wish her the best of success. RICHARD T.

He has been one of the wittiest members of our class as well. We are sure that “Dick ' s” sterling character and sound mind will carry him to great heights of success in the future. GEORGE METCALF HINCKLEY Euclidean 4; H i-Y 4; Masque and Wig 4; She Stoops to Conquer, 4 A sort of quiet fellow, liked by all bis fellow students, is George. He came to our school as a Sophomore and graduated from the Washington School. He is intensely interested in dra- matics anti tennis. He intends to train to be a business executive, and we believe that he is admirably suited for such a position, both from the point of view of his ability and from his pleasing personality. He intends to go to Amherst next year. Best of luck.

She’s open for suggestions as to how to spend her time next year. Any place wdrere there are several vacations, no hard work, and no home work will answer her requirements.

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.

THE LOG MARJORIE HO ECKEL “Marge,” “Margie” Art League 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Orchestra 2, 3 “Marge,” a decided blonde, entered our old brick pile from the Roosevelt School. She came to us a popular but shy little Freshman. “Margie’s” smile and winning personality have won her many warm friends, especially a new arrival, of the opposite sex. When it comes to studying, “Marge” is an ardent sup- porter. Sometimes “Marge” may be seen at recess in one of cur famous telephone booths; we wonder why? She is to be- come one of the many inmates of the Hancock Institution soon after graduation. We wish “Marge” loads of luck and success. I m DOROTHY HOLMES “Dot’ Girls’ Club 3. 4 “Dot,” one of the quiet members of our class, has a sunny disposition which has won her many friends. Much of “Dot’s” school time has been taken up with her studies which one can easily see by her good marks. She is adapted to secretarial work and has been successful in her filing and shorthand. She intends to enter the business world next year, and we all wish her the best of success. VERA LIND HOWARD “Ve” Girls’ Club; “Two Vagabonds ” Vera is one of our brilliant meteors from the Washington School. When she came here as a demure Freshman four short years ago, who guessed the calm, serene Senior she would grow into. Not so calm always though, for once in a while a giggle announces her presence to those who are best acquainted with her. Vera is musically inclined and also has a weakness for bookkeeping. She is always cheerful, ready to help, especially one in a labyrinth of figures (at which she is especially good). Truly it may be said of her that a “friend in need, is a friend indeed.” Y i) ( GRACE E. HULTGREN Girls ' Club 4 Grace, with her blondness and perfect wave, wandered into High S chool one day in 1926 (she always wanders), from the Roosevelt School. Although her only activity is Girls’ Club, she has a host of friends. She excels in filing (it is rumored that she even files her finger nails), and because she likes this work, she will probably continue it. Of course, we wish you loads of luck, Grace.
