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.

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. HILL “Dick” Chairman Class Day Committee 4; Cloak and Plume 1: Debating Club 1, 2; Euclidean 4; The Goose Hangs High, Hi-) ' 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Masque and II ig 1, 2, 3; Vice-President 4; School I.ife Editor-in-Chicf 4; J ' h rift Council 2. 3; Traffic Squad 3, 4; Assembly Committee 3; What Aden Live By “Dick” was presented to us by the Washington School. Ever since this pleasing bit of humanity set foot in our Alma Mater, he has been one of the busiest members in its hold. “Dick has been in about every club except the Poetry Club and the Girls Club. 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. George 1 DOROTHY HIXON” “Dot” Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Cloak and Plume 1 ; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Poetry Club 4 “Dot” has been trying hard to be champion absentee during her four years in M. H. S., but she has had to cede that title to “Cal” Dows But we’ll have to give Dot” credit for her great ingenuity in working up substantial excuses ( 45 — j— ) . 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.

S9 THE LOG THEODORE HUPPER “Ted,” “Hupp” Cloalc and I’luw.e 1 ; Masque and Wig 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4 ; Photograph Committee 4; “She Stoops to Conquer ” 4 “Ted,” a happy-go-lucky fellow, entered the portals of : 1. PE S. as a popular graduate of the Roosevelt School. His popularity has ever increased until now, on the eve of gradua- tion, he stands one of the best-known members of the class. His activities in musical and dramatic productions are acknowledged by all as excellent. “Ted” claims that his “one and only” is his dignified, wire-wheeled machine, commonly ' known as “The and a fine fellow, for “Ted plans to matriculate there, farmer “Ted” is going to make! What a FLORENCE 1LSLEY “Flossie,” Flo” French Club 4; Girls ' Club 3. 4; Poetry Club 4 Here is Flossie. who started her career in M. H. S. by tiying to suppress a giggle, but four years’ experience has proved this to be impossible as her well-known giggle is sure to be heard in any room. She and her roadster are everyone’s pals, both be- ing very popular and having proved to be “the friends in need lo many a late student. Flossie” plans to go to Katherine Gibbs next year. We wish her heaps of luck and know that her win- ning personality will lead to success. P.F.TTY TFFFRAS” Masque and Wig 3, 4; Poetry Club 3, 4; “She Stoops to Conquer, ' ' 4; “ Two Vagabonds, 2 Betty,” a young lady possessed of blue eyes, light hair, and a profile similar to that found on Cosmopolitan Magazine covers, has swift and varied moods. She hurried into school in 1926, and is still rushing frantically from one class to another, losing her pens, books, and notes, but with an ineffaceable smile on her countenance. One saw her flurried and anxious going to a play rehearsal or bored and resigned sauntering to an afternoon ses- sion. A great talent and a greater confidence inspired her to adorn her hooks with figures and profiles until those excellent manuscripts more nearly resembled treatises on art than worthy, weighty volumes on Virgil or history. WINTHROP JEWELL “Babe” “Babe” came here from Beverly High School, in his Junior year. Since then he has become a very good student in the dear old brick pile.” He hasn’t gone in for any school activi- ties, work outside of school haring kept him busy. Babe” doesn’t seem to have any weakness for the opposite sex but you never can tell what a good-natured fellow like he may do. We will probably see “Babe” receiving his knocks in the old business world next year, and we all wish him a bright future.
