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.

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. Her favorite sport is football, and her hobby is “Gardening”. She has made many friends because of her cheerful disposition. 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.

Seldom is she seen without “Barb” or “June” on either side of her. We wonder why Jean frequents room 203 almost every afternoon. Never- theless, we know Jean will be a success in whatever she at- tempts in the future. W ho wouldn’t with such a smile and such a personality !
