ELIZABETH A. BRENNAN “Bette” Girls’ Club (3, 4) “Bette” came to us, a blushing young Freshman, from the Lincoln School. She is very quiet during school hours, except for an occasional giggle. Her head is usually turned in the direction of Arlington. W e wonder why. “Bette” in- tends to become somebody’s private secretary, hut we don’t know who he is to be. Anyway, we know that no matter what she does, she will be sure to succeed. GERTRUDE ANN BRENNAN Detty” “Det” Girls ' Club (2, 3, 4), Poetry Club (3, 4), Glee Club (4) “Detty” may look very quiet and demure, but in her case, looks are most deceiving. “Det” is full of fun and a true friend. She is extremely fond of dancing. Although not athletic, she enthusiastically supports all our teams. Her ambition upon graduating is to become a comforting angel in a white uniform. Happy landings, “Detty.” JEANETTE BRETAGNE Girls’ Club (2, 3, 4) Jeanette Bretagne graduated from the Washington School in ‘31. She is a member of the Melrose High School Girls’ Club.

Jeanette is undecided as to what she will do in her future, but we wish her the best of luck. MATILDA BROCK “Tillie” Girls ' Club (3, 4) “Tillie” came to M. H. S. from the W ashington School.

Although she never went out for sports, she showed her lively school spirit. Whatever “Tillie” plans to do, we all wish her the best of luck. (22)

AUGUSTINE J. BONZAGNI “Gus” Rifle Club (4) “Gus” is another one of those fine young men who came to us from the Roosevelt School. His pleasing personality has won him many friends during his four years in school. Although “Gus” did not take an active part in sports, his high marks in class show us that he used his time very profitably. Helpfulness and ambition with a liberal portion of humor are “Gus”’ chief characteristics, and they are soon to lead him far along the road to success. ELMER H. BOURNE “Twink” “Twinnie” In the graduating class of 1931 from the Washington School a boy that liked farm work entered the High School and pursued studies along these lines. Elmer is a non-re- specter of persons in that he tries to imitate some of the celebrities of our radio and film world. We’ll miss this breezy, happy-go-lucky senior, and hope he won’t find in his battle with the world anything that will take the buoy- ancy from his steps or the smile from his lips. BETTY BOWDITCH Betty, a very quiet person, who works conscientiously at all her studies, makes a grand friend for those who know her well. In spite of her shy nature, she has many definite likes and dislikes ; and movies, music, and books are her hobbies. She wants very much to become a secretary, and her employer, whoever he may be, will certainly find Betty a faithful worker. JOHN H. BOYAJIAN “Ardie” “Moey” “Ahab” “Ardie” came to us from the Lincoln School in the fall of ’31. He excels in all studies, especially mathematics, which is his hobby. “Ardie” likes basketball and plays very well even though he is not a six footer. He also has a like- able personality and a quick sense of humor. Although he has not any particular college in mind that he wants to at- tend, he is sure to make good in whatever school he chooses, and he has our wishes for the best of luck.

Good luck, Dick, in whatever you may attempt! (23)
