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!

DALE BRIGGS Basketball (4), Baseball (4), Chorus (4), Glee Club ( 4- ) At the commencement of our fourth year at Melrose, we had thrown into our midst, without any acceptance or denial, one Dale Briggs, a young farmer from Kansas. For truly he is a farmer. Although he is rather modest and bashful, Dale soon won with his Western accent and one-sided smile the admiration of both sexes. His stay with us is to be short, as lie plans to attend Graceland College, Iowa, next fall. In concluding this short biography I wish, with the permission of the many who have won his friendship, to extend to him best wishes for a successful future. 23
