ADELE BISSELL Lilly” Girls’ Club (3), (4); German Club (4) “Good things come in small packages. This saying cer- tainly applies to our diminutive Adele. Although small in stature, she is large of heart and fine of character. Wherever she goes she makes friends by her cheery smile and ready wit. Wherever Adele goes, laughter and fun follow in her wake. Giggling is not the only thing in which she is adept. She can work well also. The Social Committee of Girls ' Club can testify to this. Suppers could not have been put on without Adele’s expert help. M. H. S. will keep Adele for another year before Radcliffe claims her. Good luck, Lilly! RUTH BLAIS DELL “Speed” Girls’ Club (2), (3), (4) Speed is one of the youngest members in our class. She entered M. H. S. from the Roosevelt School in 1929. Since then she has become very popular.
