Benedict Librarian Carrie Brown Secretary Gladys Coburn Clerk Martha Boya.tian A TRIBUTE Mary I . Urn Coyle, for twenty-nine years a teacher of art in the Melrose schools, passed on to her reward last December, the twentieth, nineteen hundred thirty-five. She was ever patient and courageous in enduring suffering, never murmuring about her lot, and striving always to rise above her own troubles that her associates might not be made unhappy. Her love for the beautiful and aesthetic in life; her untiring devotion to the progress and welfare of the students who came under her instruction; her high ideals of Christian living have in- fluenced boys and girls of Melrose High School to strive for and to attain a noble manhood and womanhood. In her passing, Melrose teachers and pupils have lost a strong teacher, a loyal co-worker, and a sincere friend. When we think of her, let us not say she is dead, let us say she is “just away” as written by our immortal James Whitcomb Riley: “I cannot say, and I will not say That he is dead. He is just away! W ith a cheery smile and a wave of the hand He has wandered into an unknown land And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there. And you — oh you, who the wildest yearn l or the old-time step and the glad return Think of him faring on, as dear In the love of There, as the love of Here. Think of him still as the same, I say, He is not dead -he is just away”. SENIORS , JflRBflRflHOVT Social Register of 1936 JOHN KNOIU.OC K m Moei Origin !

President 4; Lens and Shutter 3 ; German Club 3, 4; Vice-President 3; Masque and Wig 4; Log Staff 4; School Life Staff 4; Nuntius Board 2 From the Washington School came tall, dark, attractive Ruth with all the honors which she has so successfully kept during her four years in M. H. S. Ruth has made herself well known through her artistic abilities. Her pleasing per- sonality has won her many friends. We find Ruth now wishing Northeastern were co-ed. Although we don’t know where she is going, we wish her all the luck in the world. ROBERT H. ALLARD “Bob” “Triple Threat” “Esquire” Tennis 4; Euclidean 3, 4; Operetta 4; Hi-Y 2 Bob’s cheerful disposition has made for him many friends during his high school career. He is an ardent follower of all the well known orchestras, especially Casa Loma. He is very popular with the fair sex. He likes to sing and is in- terested in all sports, being quite proficient at tennis. Bob plans to continue his studies at Tilton. Best wishes, Bob. HOWARD F. ALLEN “Allensoy” “Soy” Traffic Squad 3, 4; Lens and Shutter 3 Howard came to Melrose from Greenwood to enter as a sophomore. He plans to attend law school and become a judge, or a second Mr. Tutt. For sport, he plays golf, and although he doesn’t make much of a score, he gets a lo t of fun out of it. We hope you become successful in both games, Allensoy. JOHN ALLEN Football 2 ; Chorus John entered Melrose High his sophomore year in ’33. His junior year he left to attend Boston Trade school but returned in the fall of ’35 to finish out his senior year. He is very quiet and inclined to be a bit bashful — yes, he blushes too. John is undecided about the immediate future but we all hope it holds only the best for him. 17 RALPH ELMER ARMTNGTON “Ralphie” “El” “Army” Rifle Club 3, 4; Euclidean 3, 4; Glee Club 4; School Life 4; Traffic Squad 4; Nuntius 2 Ralph entered Melrose High School from the Roose- velt School in 1932. Through his pleasing personality he has acquired a wide following of friends. Being of a prac- tical nature, his favorite subjects are physics and mathe- matics. Since Ralph has maintained such an excellent scholastic record while in high school, we are certain that he will succeed in whatever profession he may choose to enter. JANE ATWOOD “Janie” “Rinky” Traffic Squad 4; French Club 4; Girls’ Club 3, 4; School Life 3, 4; Log Staff 4 Jane’s winning smile and cheerv “Hi, there !” are only a part of her outstanding personality that goes to make her a grand pal. It is rumored that she prefers a certain tall, dark — someone. Well, don’t think too hard. You’ll find out sooner or later. Jane is cram full of artistic ability, which she will develop more thoroughly next year at Miss Cham- berlain’s School. The best of everything to you, Jane. MARY CELESTE RARINEAU “Cell ie” “Cel” Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Girls ' Club 3, 4 If all the freshmen, entered from the Lincoln School in 1932, should be lined up, one would notice a small, shy, young lady — our one and only Celeste. Cellie has taken an active part in the cheering section at all our school sports. She also has been a member of the orchestra for her high school days. Upon graduating, she plans to enter a school of design- ing. We know she will be a success. We wish her the best of luck. DONALD WRIGHT BAILEY “Don” “Tiger” Chorus 2; Band 3 This plump young lad came to M. H. S. from the Roose- velt School after having skipped two grades. His least liked subject is Latin, while his favorite is English, in which he has proved himself equal to a college graduate. His ambi- tion is to be a doctor and he is aiming for Duke Univer- sity. Bona fortuna tecum, Donald! 18 JOHN BAILEY “J ohnny” Johnny graduated from Roosevelt in ’32. Throughout his four years in M. H. S. he has made a host of friends because of his good nature and love of fun. Johnny is quite a student. Rather than miss too much school, hi picked a vacation for an appendicitis attack. Although fully recovered he still spends his time in the vicinity of the hos- pital. We wonder why? Good luck to you in business school, Johnny. MARIE BALDINI Class Field Hockey 4 M arie is a dark-eyed, “brownette”. Her pet diversion is driving, and her main ambition is to own a “Duessenberg.” Her favorite indoor sport is sleeping. Although she came to Melrose in her Junior year, she is well-known for her wit. She is undecided about the future, but our guess is that she will own a gown shop, for which she is especially well suited. PAUL J. BARTER “Champ” Track 2, 3, 4; Football 1, 2; Masque and Wig 4; “Wliat Men Live By”; ’Glee Club 1,3; Cross Country 4 Paul came to us from the Lincoln school in ’32. He has been interested in wrestling and track, in which he played an important role. He plans to enter the Boston A. A. when he leaves high school to keep up his running. During the past four years he has made a host of friends. We know you’ll succeed, Paul ! LAURANCE BEMIS Cloak and Plume 1 ; Masque and Wig 2, 3, 4 hen Laurance left Roosevelt, the school magazine lost its chief Ad Collector. After spending a few months with the Masque and Wig Society, his talents were again noticed when he became a champion ticket seller. He has spent many laborious hours in the support of school activities and “scenery”. Laurance is eager to plough his way in the field of advertising, and by his cheerfulness and industry he is bound to succeed. 19 RUTH MIRIAM BERTH EL “Ruthie” Operetta 3; Glee Club 3, 4; Euclidean 3; Girls’ Club 3, 4 Ruthie came to us from the Roosevelt School in ’32. She hasn’t changed much since then. Even her feet are still small, hut she has a remarkable understanding. It seems that Ruth has a sort of weakness for Grahams and Petes, or maybe it’s Pete ' s Grahams. W ho knows? Anyway, she is a grand girl and we know she’ll make a “grand slam” in whatever she undertakes, whether it be in the business or domestic world. BERTHA BIERWEILER “Bert” “Bertie” “Bee” Cloak and Plume 1 ; Art League 2, 3, 4 Bertie came from the W ashington School in the fall of 1932. Because of her cheery smile and winning personal- ity, Bert has made a host of friends. Bertie is not only “ART -istically inclined but is also an expert seamstress, many of her pleasing costumes being her own creation. She spends most of her vacations in Maine. We wonder if “Hugh” is responsible for this. She plans to attend Art School after graduation. Best of luck, Bertie! ARTHUR BIRDSALE “Art” Hockey 2, 3, 4; Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 2 Art stumbled into M. H. S. from the Washington School in 1931. He has stumbled through his studies ever since then, and has discouraged more . than one stout-hearted teacher with his ready wit. Arthur has gone out for all sports that he could, and stuck to them all. He was re- warded , by becoming the first-string goalie of the hockey team. More power to you, Art. MARIE BISSELL “Biss” “Shrimp” “Itchy” Junior Red Cross 1, 2, 3, 4; Masque and Wig 2, 3, 4; Girls’ Club 3, 4; French Club 4; Winter Sports Club 4 Marie, as you can see, has been very active while in High School. She has been an excellent scholar and a fine sport. As captain of the class field hockey team, this year, she led her team to many victories. She has been a faithful mem- ber of the Red Cross Council throughout her entire school career. Although she is not certain about her future work, we are sure she will be a success. 20 JULIA BLANCHARD “Julie” “Peanut” Girls’ Club 3, 4; Cloak and Plume 1 Five feet of sparkling personality. That is Julie Blanc- hard. She has dark hair, brown eyes, and last but not least, eye-lashes that measure Vs of an inch in length. Her favorite sports are talking and basketball, both of which she can do well. Julia plans to go to college, and we hope she will do as well there as here. ROBERT S. BLEYLE “Bob” “Blitie” Golf Team Bob entered our Temple of Knowledge in 1932 from the Washington School. He enjoys .all sports but excels in golf which has become his hobby. He spends much of his time on the links perfecting his game. It is also very evident that he centers his interests in brunettes of the opposite sex ! Bob intends to continue his studies at Bentley. We wish you the best of luck and success, Bob ! HENRY V. BONZAGNI “Bonz-oil” Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 1, 2, 3, 4 In the fall of ’32 Henry came to us from the Washing- ton School. His keen sense of humor and everlasting smile has won many friends in his four years at M. H. S. His exceptional playing of baseball and football has put his name in the Melrose High School Hall of Fame. Henry expects to enter Hebron Academy where, we know, he will be a success. ROBERT C. BOSWORTH “Bob” “Bosie” Bob crashed the portals of M. H. S. in 1931. Because of his ready smile and pleasing personality, he soon made many friends. His favorite pastime is tinkering with the family cars. His winsome nature has made him quite a fa- vorite with the opposite sex. Bob enjoys all sports and is a loyal supporter of the teams. He is planning to enter Lo- well Textile in the fall, and with his winning manner suc- cess is bound to come to him. 21 RUTH BOUTILIER Girls’ Club 3, 4 Here you see Ruth Boutilier, a sweet, friendly example of a Melrose High girl. Ruth has proved herself to he a welcome addition to our Girls’ Club as well as her other activities. Her ambition at the present time is to attend Nasson College in Maine. We certainly hope that your desire will he fulfilled, Ruth. ROBERT ORRIN BOWER “Bob” “Red” “Robie” Traffic Squad 3, 4; Football 1 ; Stamp Club 4; Band 1 Bob has several hobbies. One of them is collecting stamps (guess he likes the taste of glue), and another is playing (?) golf. He is a true friend, always finding time to laugh, and is punctual in whatever he undertakes. He in- tends to enter Boston University. Good luck to you, Bob! WARREN BRISSETTE “Ward” “Bras” Football 1 W ard came to our humble domain in 1932. Alth ough not too active in sports, he has always supported them loy- ally. Of late North Quincy seems to be his weekly ren- dezvous. Wonder why?? W ard plans to attend Bentley Accounting College after leaving M. H. S. W e all wish him the best of luck and know he will be successful. When a “Hot” orchestra plays in town, we can always find W ard there in a daze. Rhythm is his business.” MARIE BROCK Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4 It was in 1932 that the Washington School gave us this dignified (?) blushing, blue-eyed blonde. She has a pleas- ing personality which has won her many friends. Marie is an ardent follower of all High School sports, especiall) football. We wonder why? Marie plans to enter Forsythe Dental School where we know she will succeed. Our best wishes, Marie. 22 LOUISE BROOKS “Brooksie” Louise came to Melrose from Everett High School in her senior year. Her winning personality has made many friends for her in the short time she has been with us. Although she is not sure what she is going to do next year, we know that a successful and happy future is in store for Louise. ROBERT G. BROOKS “Red” “Bob” Track i, 2, 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Operetta 2, 4 ; Cheer Leader 2, 3, 4 Bob came to us from Roosevelt in 1932 and worked up a climax in his clowning this year. Bob was “A Little Bit Independent” and rather than study he danced “Cheek to Cheek” and at “3 O’clock in the Morning” he would still be “Truckin ' ”; but as “Red Sails in the Sunset” and “Santy Clause Came in the Spring” he will be spending his “Loaf’n Time” with “ 0 !,d Man Rhythm.” We hope Red will “Take It Easy” “Twenty-four Hours a Day” and he and his “Sweet Thing” will be “Shipmates Forever.” WILLIAM BROOKS “Bill” Bill was born in the state of Maine in 1918. He moved to Melrose in 1924 and attended our grammar schools. He graduated from the Roosevelt School in 1932. During his freshman year, he showed athletic ability in football and was awarded his numerals. His next three years were spent on the track and cross country teams. He received his let ter in Track + or his excellent running. Bill ranks high among his classmates as a good sport and a popular lad. BETH BEATRICE BRUNNING “B” “Bethy B” Masque and Wig 2, 3; Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; Chorus 4 “Who goes there?” boomed M. H. S. “It’s only I” said a wee small voice, and that’s how Bethy B. entered M. H. S. If there are any new steps you want to learn, just shuffle through that barrier of boys and there she is. Beth has a weakness for Nashes. We wonder if it isn’t “Franklin’s”. Guess Beth ' s career will consist of wearing rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, through those rhythm inspired (piggies) of hers. Success Beth!! 23 CORTLAND BRYANT Cortland or Corty as he is known by his friends, is a tall, dark-haired, young fellow with a pleasant and plentiful grin. He was always athletically inclined, although lately he has leaned to the social joys of the stage. His actions in school are quiet and law abiding (?), while those outside are vigorous and industrious. He is, altogether, a worthy and upstanding member of the class of “36” and well worth knowing. GERTRUDE BRYANT “Gertie” “Peanut” Operetta 2, 3; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Girls ' Club 3, 4; Chorus 1. 2, 3. 4 Little Gertie came to M. H. S. in ’32 from the Lincoln School. Because of her good humor and other likable qual- ities, she has gained a host of friends. Gertie’s weakness is playing the piano. Just name the latest song hit, and you’ll soon find out. As yet, Gertie’s plans for the future are in- definite, but we are sure that she will be a success in what- ever she undertakes. PHYLLIS E. BRYANT Phyl graduated from the Roosevelt School in ’31. Dur- ing her term in M. H. S., she became a prominent member in Girls’ Club. In her Junior year, she joined the Glee Club where she attained success in singing. Phyl’s first public performance occurred when she un- dertook a part in the operetta, “The Lucky Jade”. She again displayed vocal qualities which won her public fame. Phyl is intending to attend the Westminster School of Music, New Jersey, upon her graduation. We all wish her a great deal of success and happiness for the future. RICHARD SIRCOM BULLENS “Cuz” “Trot” “Dick” Freshman Football 1 ; Cheer L coder 2; Tennis 3, 4; Hi-Y Club 4; Hockey 4; Varsity Club 4; Log Staff 4 In 1931, a slender blond youth slipped into Melrose High, at once becoming distinguished for his friendly and contag- ious grin ; and his quiet poise — the latter so unusual in a freshman!! While here at M. H. S., Dick has made dozens of friends, studied math with real interest, and greatly en- joyed playing hockey and tennis. Phis liking for sports now urges Dick toward Norwich, to study physical educa- tion and coaching. 24 LORRAINE RURTON “Larry” “Buddy” “Appetite” Girls’ Club 3, 4; Filing Committee 4; Stamp Club 4 • To meet Larry is to know her. Her friendly spirit and happy disposition make her a pal worth having. This petite, blue-eyed brunette with a mischievous twinkle in her eye loves all sports and is a staunch follower of all M. H. S. teams. Larry’s specialty, however, is telling jokes, with “Little Horace” as our favorite. Her favorite pastimes arc eating angel cake (which hasn’t yet resulted in any wings) and tearing up ditto copies, at which she has become most efficient. Larry has our best wishes, and we know she will succeed in anything she attempts. CHARLES LAWRENCE BYRNE “Charlie” “Red” “Chuck’ Charlie is one of our talented young men who hailed from St. Mary’s School. He is a naturally quiet boy at school but outside he is the center of fun. He is never lacking friends. He is fond of dancing, and we know he will be a success with his singing. He has a weakness for athletics. We know Charlie will be a success in whatever he under- takes ; so Good Luck, Charlie. ALICE M. CAIRNS “Ai” Red Cross Every one knows A 1 for her happy-go-lucky manner. Al’s hobby is collecting pictures of ships. We wonder what the fascination is. Although A 1 has not made up her mind as to what she is going to do after her high school ,days are over, we feel sure she will find success in whatever she undertakes. We all wish you happiness and lots of luck. PHILIP R. CALDER, Jr. Philip came from the Roosevelt in ’32. His sensibility and notable congeniality added to his inherent affability has permanently attached him to a multitude of friends. In ap- preciation of his friendship the junior class selected him for vice-president. Tennis, football, Debating Club, and Mas- que and Wig have all been included in Phil’s curriculum. On graduating he will attend a reputable prep school and then college. We expect BIG things of you, Phil ! ft ' ' V 2 5 SPENCER W ARD CAMPBELL “Spen” “Spenie” “Pen” Football i, 3; Orchestra 4; Band 4; Hi-Y 3, 4; Debating Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Masque and ll’ig 4 Spencer entered M. H. S. in 1932 as a member of the last freshman class in the ol t d High School. He has not been prominent in athletics but has not neglected the inter- ests of the school. Pen seems to be endowed with the happy faculty of getting respectable marks with the least possible effort. Next year Spencer plans to enter Boston University and take up journalism. W e know if he fob lows his present plans he is sure to make good. JANICE ANNE CARPENTER “Jackie” “Little Scottie” Chorus 1 ; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Induction Team 4; Stamp Club 4; Glee Club 4; Field Hockey 2, 3, 4; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Operetta 4; Chairman of Literary Committee, Log Staff 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4 In 1932, a dark-haired girl slid shyly into M. H. S. to be- come a sensation for four years. Not only did she feature in athletics, but also in the social activities of the School W hether, in school or outside life, Jackie can be counted upon as a true friend. Her sunny disposition and witty re- marks will long be remembered by her classmates who wish Jackie luck in her future adventures. PATRICIA CAYFORD “Pat” School Life 2; Red Cross 3 Pe p, vim, and vigor describes Pat to a “T”. During her three years here Pat has won (man)y friends. Her cheery smile can often be seen as she dashes from class to class. W e think Pat’s interests are centered in New York. She is one of the best natured members of the class. Pat plans to enter Simmons College next fall. We all wish her loads of success for the future. LOUISE CEFALO “Cefie” “Lou” Girls’ Club 3, 4; School Life 4; Chorus 2 Let us introduce Cefie, one of the best-liked members of our class. Her pleasing personality and extraordinary wit have won her many friends. Cefie is often seen dashing around town at the wheel of her faithful car. Dancing oc- cupies the major part of her recreation, and it is quite evi- dent when she is seen on the dance floor. Next year Cefie plans to enter college at Croton. Here’s luck for the future. 26 ANTHONY CHAMPA “Tony” Tony is not only one of the most popular students in the 1 ligh School, but one of scholastic ability and character. He has as many friends in the student body and faculty as anyone in the class. We are all going to miss his barber shop next year when he goes to Dartmouth, where he is surely going to make a brilliant record for himself and the school. MIRIAM CHANDLER “Mini” “Mimie” Girls’ Club 3, President 4; Masque and Wig 3, 4; “Admir- able Crichton” 3; French Club 3, 4; Basketball 4 Mimie with her blond hair and cheerful grin entered the old Sewall School in 1932. Both her grin and light hair have continued all through her high school career. Mimie has done a grand job as President of Girls’ Club and I’m sure we’ll all remember her as she rushed from her School Life duties to 307 to consult Mac. Mini is going to Boston University where we all wish her the best of luck. MURIEL CLARK Basketball 1, 2, 3; Field Hockey 2, 3; Baseball 2, 3; Chorus 4 ; Girls’ Club 3, 4 This charming young Miss is one of the extraordinary members of our class. We wonder what her friends would do without her cheery smile. Muriel has giggled her way into all our hearts. She plans to be a telephone operator, and we expect she will be spending most of her time taking calls from that well known town of Wakefield. Why? Maybe Muriel will have the answer. Here’s luck for the future. KATHLEEN CLINE “Kay” Kay came from Pennsylvania to Stoneham High and finally arrived at Melrose High in her sophomore year. Al- though she is quiet and reserved, her attentive attitude and sincere manner have won for her many friends among the teachers and classmates. She is a good student and a great pal. We wish her all the success in the world in her am- bition to be a nurse. 27 MARGERY JUNE CODAIRE ( i iris ' Club 3, 4; Glee Club 2; Red Cross 2, 3 Margie entered High School as a young sophisticate, but, as soon as we all got to know her, we realized that a crowd was missing something without her ways of creating fun. She has a serious knack of getting into mischief, and we hope that she will always Toe the mark and Buck an,d v r ing her way to success. Good luck at New Hampshire State, Marge. NATALIE COULSON “Nat” A shy, young girl with great wondering eyes looked be- wilderingly around her. This was Nat, a strange freshman in the vastness of a great school and overwhelming upper classmen. Now that she is a senior, Nat finds herself sur- rounded with a host of friends, which she gained through her ready sympathy and good sportsmanship. It is good sportsmanship. It is a “Tuft” break that we must lose her, but our loss is another’s gain. DONALD CROOK ER “Don” Glee Club 4 In 1932, a bewildered freshman groped his way through the stately and time-honored portals of the high school. Don migrated from Medford that year and soon was seen in the best of company. He aspires to become a doctor ; so he is practicing operations on frogs up in the biology room. Don’s pet hobbies seem to be railroads and Glee clubs, for when not at one, he can be found at the other. Here’s wash- ing you lots of luck and a clear track ahead, Don. A DELE B. CUTLER Girls’ Club 3, 4; Euclidean 3, 4; ( Sec. ) “Miss Cherry Blossom’’ 2 Melrose High gained a “Personality Girl” when Adele came from Portsmouth Junior High. I ler wit and her pleasing personality, along with her charm, have made her a favorite among her classmates. She is an active member of Girls’ Club and Secretary of Euclidean. She plans to enter Simmons in the fall and hopes some day to be a nurse. Best of luck, Adele. 98 MARY DAHL “Reid” “Fatso” Girls’ Club 3, 4; Poetry Club 2, 4 Red came to us from the Roosevelt school in ’32. It seems that our little “red flame” goes for the name, Bob, every now and then. During her four years with us she has made many friends and we all hope that she will be suc- cessful in the future. She is planning to attend Miss Cham- berlains’ School of Art next fall. Here’s to you, Mary. SUE D’ANTILIO “Susie” Field Hockey 1, 2, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Girls’ Club 3; Glee Club 1, 3, 4; Chorus 3, 4; “Lucky Jade” 3; “Look Who’s Here” 4 Sue hailed from the Lincoln School in 1932. With her bubbling good humor, she brightens what would ordindarily be dreary school hours. A lover of sports, she neglects not one of them, male or female, always being present when the whistle blows either as participant or spectator. Al- though Sue curbs her effervescent personality to a certain extent while in school, she gives people a glimpse of her true self after school hours. HELEN DARLING Girls’ Club 3, 4 Have you seen a blushing blond in the corridor? That’s Helen ! She spent her first year, after she left the Roose- velt School, camping out in the Sewall School, along with the rest of us. Helen’s hobby is following big league hoc- key, baseball or football games, and she hates to miss anv of the high school ones, too. Although Helen doesn’t know what she’ll do next year, we know she’s “bound to win”. JOHN CLARK DAVIDSON “Captain” “Jack” Cross-Country 3, 4; Captain 4; Track 2, 4 Four years ago Jack entered our sacred portals from the Roosevelt School. He captained his cross-country team to its first Mystic Valley League Championship. His hard work, spirit, endurance, and personality made him a wor- thy leader. Jack has a merry, “Hi-there”, for everyone. He has no immediate plans for the future except to keep on running. We all know he will succeed in whatever he undertakes. Best of luck, Jack ! 29 LUELLA DAVIS Girls’ Club 3, 4; Euclidean Society 3, 4; French Club 4 Exterior semblances do belie what lies behind her inno- cent eye. Always a pal when straightening out homework that seems a blur. She is very versatile, as she plays basketball, badminton, and volleyball. Beginning in her Roosevelt days, she exhibited great skill in writing poetry, and continued her good work in High School. Here’s to success for our Luella ! WARREN DAVISON “Dave” “Flash” “Davie” Hockey 2, 3, 4; Track 3, 4; Euclidean 3; Hi-Y 4; Picture Committee 4 Dave is one of our “flashy” seniors. He honored Melrose High with his presence in 1932, coming from the Roosevelt School. Greatly interested in sports is Flash, especially as he is one of our track and hockey lettermen. We know Dave will be as successful at his future destination, Har vard, as he always has been. RUSS PARKER DEARBORN “Russ” Football 1, 2; Nnntius; Operetta 3, 4 The Lincoln School lost a gentleman and a scholar when it passed Russ on to High School. In his spare time he may be found in or around the Y. M. C. A. His favorite sport is swimming, but it is not swimming that attracts him to Greenwood. Russ has made a multitude of friends with his winning smile and personality, and with these traits we wish him the best of luck.

Goody is rather demure looking until she flashes a smile and then — watch out, boys! Yes, sir, she could get to the top on her smile alone, but add that to her personality and she couldn’t help but get there.

She can be found in 404 early every morning, trying to catch up on the home work that she didn’t do the night before because she went to the movies. She loves to dance, except, of course, when (but she told me not to tell), and she’s a wonderful dancer, too. Ruthie hopes to take up journalism. Best of luck, Ruthie! C. GLEN JAYCOCK, JR. Lens and Shutter 3, 4; Euclidean 3, 4; Ski Club 4 Glen is the companionable fellow with a multitude of varied hobbies. When he’s not collecting stamps, coins, or minerals, you may find him balancing on a picket fence trying to snap a delicate picture or catching the snow train with a pair of skiis under his arm. Glen plans to be a chemist and hopes to mix a formula that will revolutionize the world of science. We know you will, Glen. 47 DOROTHEA JOHNSON Cloak and Plume i Dot came to us from the Bryant School in Great Bar- rington in 1932. Throughout her entire high school career her entertaining personality and good nature have won her many friends. May her waves of high school friendships he as permanent as the waves she’ll learn at Milford Acad- emy next year. Good luck, Dot. RUTH JOHNSON “Ruthie” “Sneed” Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4 Ruthie came from the good old W ashington, entered the commercial course, and has done very well. Sneed is an able pianist especially when it comes to classics. She likes to swim and greatly prefers the summer to winter. Snow gets her down ! O, and 1 mustn’t forget to tell you Ruthie traveled in Sweden at the tender age of five. Now I hope you know what she’s like. WILLIAM JOHNSON Bill came to the old High School in 1932 from way out yonder in the Berkshires. To be exact, Great Barrington. Among his many interests is a passion for collecting old pipes and the older the better. After graduation he plans to enter the ring, and, from this, he hopes to earn enough money to put him through Aviation School. NEWTON J( )NES “Newt” Hi-Y ; Glee Club; Debating Society Newt came from the Roosevelt School and set a reputa- tion for himself as a most sociable fellow. His hobby is tinkering with autos, but he also seems to enjoy the com- pany of a certain young lady. Newt’s ambition is to be a mechanical engineer and he should be good as one. So plow on, Newt. You’re going places fast. 48 PHYLLIS JONES “Phyl” “Jonsie” “Tessie” Girls’ Club 2, 3; Operetta 2, 3; Basketball 2, 3; Field Hockey 4 Hold your boys, girls. Here comes Phyl, our brown-eyed blonde. She hailed from Cuba in ’33, bringing with her a friendly spirit, a dynamic personality, and a positive flare for comedy. We know Cuba lost a charming person for we gained her. Phyl seems to go for the big blue eyes of a certain Bill. We wonder who ! ! Phyl hopes to enter Simmons next year. We wish her luck and hope she’ll “Ring” her typewriter with more suc- cess than ever. WOODROW JONES “Woody” Track Team; Cloak and Plume 1 ; Hi- V Woodrow Jones entered high school as a shy freshman, but, because of his ready smile and pleasantness, he soon had acquired a host of friends. His career in Melrose High was very successful and we are wishing him all the luck in the world as he enters a business career. DORIS KEENE “Dizzy” Glee Club 2, 3, 4; “Miss Cherry Blossom”; “Look Who’s Here ” Dizzy Keene’s favorite occupation is singing, and her ambition is to be a concert singer. She is a blonde of a bright and effervescent nature. Her favorite subject is Latin. The best of luck to you, Doris ! LOUISE KELLEY “Kel” “Kelly” “Lu-Lu” Glee Club 3, 4; Girls’ Club 2, 3; Lens’ and Shutter 3 Throughout her entire school career, Kelley’s sunny smile and good nature have won her many friends. Even though she never was a Teacher’s pet, we’re sure several members of the faculty will miss her many pranks, and yet will wish her the best of luck. Won’t we all ? May she never fail to keep up that knack of getting there just in time — Slide, Kelley, Slide!!! 49 EDWARD KELLY “Ed” “Kel” Football i, 2; Hockey 1 Kel is a quiet, unassuming fellow with a great interest in sports of all kinds. Although not an over-ambitious stu- dent, he is an enthusiastic gum-chewer. Ed’s ambition is to travel, and we hope he will travel far on the road to suc- cess. GEORGE KIMBALL “Kim” Tra f fie Squad 3, 4; Euclidean Society 3, Vice-president 4; School Life 4; Log, Editor-in-chief 4; Ski Club; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4; Football 1 ; Tennis 4 This handsome, dignified young man sauntered into The Institution in 1932. During his stay, George has made a host of friends by his fine personality and winning smile. He has taken part in many school activities and is consid- ered one of the master minds of the class. About the fu- ture? Well, he plan s to enter Dartmouth in the fall, and we wish him all the success in the world. GRACE CATHERINE KIRMES “Grade” “Nubby” “(jiggles” Grace is what we all call a “jolly good fellow”, as she is a pal an,d friend to everyone. Not only is she witty and merry, but she is also a good student. Though very much interested in singing and piano-playing, she wont have much time for either when she takes up her duties in “The White Parade”. She should console herself with the thought that soon she will be Superintendent of Nurses and then her time will be her own (maybe). ROGER KNAPP “Rog” “Tarzan” Loot ball 1, 2; Track 3; Euclidean 3, 4; Traffic Squad 4 This mighty mass of brawn and muscle entered M. H. S. via the W ashington School. Roger’s exploits in the gym have earned him the title of the “Nation’s Strongest Boy”, and his Grecian profile has adorned the front pages of newspapers all over the country. Roger is also an accom- plished pianist. He claims he prefers classical to popular music. Roger intends to enter Springfield next year. We wish him the best of luck. 5 ° RICHARD KNIGHT “Dick” Capt. of Traffic Squad 4; Varsity Club 4; Winter Sports Club 4; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4; Baseball 1 ; Golf 3, 4 Dick first placed himself at the mercy of the high school teachers in 1932 when he left the scene of his grammar school struggles to embibe adolescent intellectualism. Upon his arrival at high school he began to exercise to its highest degree his most noticeable characteristic, namely his happy faculty for making friends. After graduating, he will at- tend New Hampshire State University, where we hope he will make many new friends and remember his old ones. JOHN R. KNOBLOCK “Dick” Cloak and Plume 1 ; Masque and Wig 3, 4 ; Lens and Shutter 4; Glee Club 4; “The Admirable Crichton” 3; “What Men Live By” 4; “The Stars May Change 4 In the fall of ’32, “Dick” was reluctantly ceded to the M. H. S. by the Roosevelt School. From the first he was forced to the fore in school activities, particularly in acting, which he detests (?). He has capably taken many leading roles, is a good student, a dancer, and a pianist, no less. His many friends join in wishing him the best of luck. PAULINE LANTZ “Pollie” Cloak and Plume 1 ; “Nuntius” 2, 3; Girls’ Club 3, 4 Pauline is a very good sport and always ready to join in on the fun. She is very fond of secretarial work, and, from the excellent standing in her studies, we know she will be a success. For the past three or four months Pauline has cul- tivated a keen interest in popular orchestras. We w ' onder why ? SHIRLEY E. LARKIN “Shirl” Basketball 2; Field Hockey 1, 4; Baseball 2, 3; Chorus 4; President, Red Cross 4 Shirks keen sense of humor and cooperative spirit has helped her win many lasting friends. She has participated in many school activities. Shirl intends to enter business after graduation. Maybe it’ll be “Simpson’s Inc.” One can never tell ! We hope the rest of her life will be as happy as the school years will seem once she looks back upon them. 5 1 EP.P.A LARSON Girls’ Club Ebba, a very attractive little blond, entered the freshman class at Melrose High in ’32. W ith her vivacious personal- ity. she quickly gained much popularity. Ebba has been an ardent supporter of all school activities and has been very active in Girls’ Club. Outside of school much of her time is taken up by her numerous gentlemen admirers. Ebba plans to enter Miss Chamberlain’s School of Boston in the fall. Best of luck to you, Ebba! PATRICIA A. LEGG “Pat” There is no need to introduce this little girl with the large blue eyes to you, for everyone knows Pat Legg — full of pep, and possessing a sweet smile and a cheery “Hello” for everyone. Pat came to us in her freshman year from the Roosevelt school, and, through her pleasing personality, won many friends. Gentlemen prefer brunettes when Pat is around, and we don’t blame them one bit. Well, Pat, we don’t know just what your plans for the future are, but good luck, — and don ' t forget us. FRANKLIN LEIGHTON Since entering M. H. S. in 1932, this friendly lad with a cheerful grin has made many lasting friends. Frank’s past two years have been busily spent in Marblehead, where he is an enthusiastic yachtsman. Although not participating in any sport while in High School, Franklin has certainly been one of our social bright lights. It is a well known fact that “P ” is his favorite let- ter of the alphabet. ALICE LEON “Al” “Allie” Girls’ Club 3, 4; Euclidean 3, 4; French Club 3, 4; Winter Sports 4; Field Hockey 4; Red Cross 2; Glee Club 3; Nuntius 1 Allie, with her witty remarks and vivaciousness, is ever in the midst of a laughing group. Allie has a wide range of activities. In English her flare for writing and expres- sive reading makes her work outstanding. Her rank in other subjects is among the highest. As for sports, in aut- umn it’s field hockey for Allie; in winter, basketball. She has a passion for the movies. She plans to go to B. U. and become a teacher. 5 2 PHYLLIS ETHEL LERNER “Tiny” “Ti” Girls’ Club 3, 4; Program Committee 4; Class Vice-presi- dent 2; Service Fund Council 2; French Club 3, 4; Secre- tary 3; President 4; Winter Sports Club 4; Euclidean So- ciety 3, 4; Orchestra 3; Band 3 Throughout her years at M. H. S., Tiny’s abilities, both intellectual and social, have been partially hidden by her shyness and modesty. Few people know she is President of Junior Beethoven Society or even that she is a flute-player; but among those who know her, Tiny is well-liked and loyal- ly supported. This loyalty is more than merited, and, wher- ever she goes, Tiny will surely be a credit to M. H. S. at Simmons without the use of luck. CLARENCE LEWISSON “Lou” “Junie” Glee Club 3, 4; Hockey Mgr. 4 Junie was a Roosevelt school boy who came to M. H. S. in ’32. With him came his ready smile and cheerful nature which has won him a wealth of friendship. His chief hobby is the collection of railroad pictures and data. Junie was a member of Glee Club in his Junior and Senior year. About the future? Why, he plans to attend a business school, and let us wish him great success in anything he may undertake. MARION LOCKE Girls’ Club; French Club; Vice Pres. German Club; Var- sity Basketball 1 ; Ass’t. Librarian; Log Staff; School Life When the portals of M. H. S. were opened in the fall of ’32, a charming young girl with an abundance of good looks entered as a freshman. Since Marion’s freshman year she has not taken a very active part in High School activi- ties, her time being taken up with Rainbow and her duties as an assistant dancing teacher. In the fall, Marion expects to be entered as a student nurse at the Newton Hospital. We know that her sincerity and personality will go far to- wards bringing her success. LEO LOFCHIE Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4: Track 2; Football 1, 2; Baseball 1 Back in 1932 when a group of bewildered freshmen en- tered for their first time into the halls of the old High School, a shy, good-natured youngster answering to the name of Sonny came with them. But his smile and his sunny disposition offset his shyness and won him a host of friends. He has received good marks during his four years and has always found time for sports. Sonny is mechan- ically inclined and intends to follow this line of endeavor. Whatever he intends to do, we all wish all the success in the world to him. 53 FRANK LOPEZ “Frankie” A fellow student with whom we are proud to he assoc- iated, he carries himself on all occasions to his own credit, lie is always reach ' and willing to help a classmate, but never asking for succor for himself. His ambition is to be a radio technician and, if our judgment is correct, this will not be a problem at all. In his own way be walks along the highway ' of life, destined to become one of Melrose’s true- blue citizens. ROBERT LOVE “Rob” “Bill” Track i, 2, 3; Football 1, 2 It does not seem as long as four years ago that a mis- chievous looking lad walked up the stairs of the Melrose High School to come out a fine, young man. Bill did not have to go in for sports to become a popular figure here. There is something about bis personality that has gained him friends by the score. All of these friends are not of his own sex. Bill, being a lawful person intends to study- law and we all hope he develops into a fine lawyer. GORDON H. LOWE Hi-Y 3, 4; Debating 3; Rifle Club 3, 4 Bidding Roosevelt a fond adieu, Gordon sailed into port in 1932 as a freshman. His accomplishments and abilities should not be measured by his size ; in fact, he is some guy. If you don’t think so, just ask him. He will go to N.H.U. and train for a B. B. A. He has no definite vocational plans beyond college other than to make a million dollars bet ore 40 and enjoy the rest of his life. ELIZABETH LOWELL “Betsey” Girls ' Club 3, 4; Euclidean Society 4; French Club, Treasurer 3, Secretary 4 Enrolling as a freshman in 1932 from Washington School, Betsey has consistently made a fine record during her four years here. She is a quiet, conscientious young lady, always thinking of others lirst. Cool and calm, while the rest of us rush about madly, nothing disturbs her poise. May success and happiness be hers at Vassal ' College, which she plans to enter this fall. 54 ELLSWORTH LUTTS “Elly” This tall answer to some lucky maiden’s prayer came to us from the Roosevelt, with the hope of accomplishing many great things. Although Elly is a gentleman and seems to prefer the proverbial blonds, we often see him in Wakefield seeing Red — but that’s another story. Elly is undecided about his future, but after seeing him in action in English, we would advise him to become a law- yer. Probably one of his outstanding cases would be Lutts vs. Damon. Loads of success in the future, Elly. VIRGINIA LYNDE “Din” “Dinny” “Jinny” Traffic Squad 4; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; French Club 3, 4; Varsity Club 4 Big brown eyes, reddish hair, snappy clothes, and the in- ability to pronounce her “r’s” have given Dinny Lynde an individual personality. During her four years at M. H. S., she has been very active in school athletics. Dinny has been studying more diligently of late, preparing for entrance to Radcliffe. Have fun, Din. ROSEMARY LYONS “Giggles” Field Hockey 1, 4; Basketball 4; Chorus 2, 3 Rosemary came to us in ’32 from the Lincoln School. She has won many friends during her high school career with her cunning personality and keen sense of humor. She has been very active this year in both field hockey and bas- ketball. Rosemary isn’t sure what she will do after June, but whatever it is, we all wish her success. ALLAN MACDONALD “Mac” “Shadow” “Al” “Sandy” Hi-Y ; Hi-Y Reporter ; Hi-Y Nctvs Mac crashed the portals of our fair High School in 1932 from the Washington School. His genial smile and natural good humor have made him one of the best liked members of our class. He will always be remembered for his love of colors, which he expressed in his clothing and thus earned for him the name of flaming youth. Not only as a reporter on the Hi-Y paper, but also on the membership commit- tee, his presence was a valuable asset to the club. It seems as if college will be the next stepping stone in Mac’s career. 55 THOMAS MacDOU GALL “Tom” “Hector” “Mac” Football 1,2, 3, 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4; Traffic Squad 4; Log Staff 4; Varsity Club 3, 4 Mac entered M. H. S. four years ago from the St. Mary’s School. Being of quiet disposition, Mac did not associate to any extent with the either pupils of the school (especial- ly the fairer sex) until his Junior Year. Mac is one of the best all-round athletes that has ever attended M. H. S. Best of luck in what ever you have planned for the future, Mac. NATALIE MacINNIS Basketball 1, 2, 3; Chorus 1, 3, 4; Hockey 1,4; Band 3, 4; Debating 2, 3 ; Girls ' Club 3, 4; Winter Sports 4 Coming from a long line of yachtsmen, our drum-major is a good sailor and an excellent swimmer. Because of this, undoubtedly, she surprised even the physical director, one day, when she broke a record for lung capacity, doing 285 cubic inches (the girl’s average is 180). Natalie has been ac- tive in all sports and that isn’t all; she’s musical too. She’s always ready to swing out “Maniac’s Ball ”. MALCOM MAKAY “Mai” “Mac” Ye are greatly indebted to the Roosevelt School for turn- ing out such a fine fellow as we have in our midst. Malcom Makav, although a quiet fellow, is not one to be a draw- back in any group, but rather an asset. ( iEORGE MacMONAGLE “Jake” “Mac” Euclidean 3, 4; Operetta 4 In .September, 1932, George came from the Roosevelt School to Melrose High School and settled down to work. Although George has not taken an active part in school ath- letics, it is not because he hasn’t tried. He has, neverthe- less, offset this by obtaining good marks in his studies. George is planning to take a P. G. course next year, and then lie is going to take exams for Annapolis. Best of luck, ( ieorge. 56 LEE MacNEILL Girls ' Club 4; Torch 4 You will readily agree that “Valuable things come in small packages” when you know — L ovable E nthusiastic E arnest Lee came to us from Reading High School in 1934. where, no doubt, she has as many friends as she has ac- quired in Melrose. Although small in stature, she has a gigantic personality, which we know will help her on the road to success. VICTOR MAIDRAND “Vic” Baseball 1 Vic is the original happy-go-lucky with a smile for every- one. It did not take us long to discover that Vic is a mighty good friend. He has led a quiet school life. In class he seems shy and bashful, but out of school he is a “regular fellah”. Although his future is undecided, we predict that it will be successful. JOHN MALM Hi-Y 2, 3, 4; Cloak and Plume 1 ; Masque and Wig 2, 3, 4 One September day in 1932 a shy, blond headed young lad came to us from the Washington School. With his platinum blonde hair and a great big smile, John soon lost his shyness, (ask his teachers) and became the life and joy of his class. He had decided to settle down and study, but found this course too difficult with the numerous “Barbs” in his path ; so next year he is going to take up his studies again at Hebron. Good luck, John! MARIE ADELE MANZER “Buddy” Girls’ Club 3,, 4; Field Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; Chorus 1 ; Basket- ball 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Log Staff 4; Operetta 4 Guess who — has mischievous brown eyes, great athletic ability, is a second Ginger Rogers, always laughing, good student, and her ambition is to marry a milkman (provid- ing his name is Boyd). Who else but Marie. Marie is truly the personification of pep, vim, and vigor, and she has gone far in everything she has attempted : clubs, sports, and so- cial activities. Because of her sunny good-nature and viv- acious smile, we know that she will always be successful in the future just as in the past. 57 MELROSE PUBLIC LIBRAS MELROSE, MASS. WILFRED JOHN MARTIN “Wil” “Willy” Chorus 3 Will Martin was born on the island of Guernsey in the English Channel in 1918, and he is still a citizen of the British Empire. He came to this country in 1924 and has attended the Lincol n and Washington Schools before be- coming a member of the High School. His hobbies are model boating and hiking. He is industrious and a good friend of those who know him. ANNA MARTOIS “Ann” This pocketful of sunshine came to M. H. S. from the Green Mountains of Vermont four years ago. Her cheer- ful, sunny disposition has won her many friends among her fellow students. Although Ann has not specified any plans for the future, we can picture her pouring delicious maple syrup for one of those Green Mountain Boys. Cheerio and good luck, Ann ! VINCENT MATERESE “Jim” “Vin” “Bits” Chorus 3 Jim can be identified very easily by his profile. It is perfect in form and would make any father proud. He came from Lincoln School in ’32 and has stayed with us all through the four long years in this great institution. He has a good disposition and it was not until ’36 that he discov- ered that women played an important part in a man’s life. We wish him the best of luck on that journey from Cot- tage Street to Tufts. FRANCIS MAYNE “Skit” “Fran” Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Hockey 2, 3, 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1 Skit has become well known to his classmates and others by bis pleasing personality. He is well known in the sport world. Sullivan and Mayne were seen together day in and dav out on the football field. He led the baseball team in batting his sophomore year and was a close second in his junior vear. I bis husky lad is becoming a very good dancer. Of late Skit has been seen with attractive girls from Ar- lington. We wish him luck. 58 dorothy McDaniel “Dot” “Dotty” It gives us great pleasure to introduce this attractive brunette, who came to us from the Roosevelt School. Dotty’s brown eyes, dynamic personality, and taking ways have won her many friends and admirers. Her favorite recreation is dancing, and we’ll all agree that Dot certainly mastered this art. Dot is undecided as to what she will do next year, but we know that she will be successful in what- ever she undertakes. ROSE McGOUGH “Babe” Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; Debating Club 1, 2. 3; Girls’ Stamp Club 4 ; Band 3, 4 ; Field Hockey 2 Babe’s sunny smile and pleasing personality have helped her to make many friends. After finishing school Rose plans to become a social worker, and we know she will be successful. Incidentally, she is learning to cook. Can that tall towhead from Arlington have anything to do with it — we wonder ? But whatever happens, Rose, good luck. PHILLIP D. McLADDEN “Mickey” “Red” “Blondy” Band 2, 3 ; Glee Club 3 Mickey came to us from the Roosevelt in ’32 and ever since has proved to be an agreeable classmate. He has sup- ported both the Band and Glee Club in the past two years, it is rumored that it is his greatest ambition to have his own orchestra. Although he blushes at the slightest provoca- tion, it seems that he has a certain interest in Wakefield. GORDON N. McKENNEY “Mac” “Throttle” “Mig” Glee Club 4; Freshman Baseball 1 ; Freshman Football 1 ; Orchestra 1, 2, 3 Mac entered the old high school w r ith the class of ’34, but sickness obliged him to leave school. He returned two years later to join the class of ’36. In Mac our class has gained a true asset as well as a real friend. Mac plans to enter the business world next year. Good luck, Mac, and we wish you all the success in the world. 59 EDNA MICKLE “Ned” Edna, a quiet, auburn-haired lass came to us from the Roosevelt School in ’32. Since she has been here, she has accumulated many friends with her shy ways and winning smile. At the present time Edna has no definite plans for the future, but we hope that no matter what she undertakes, she will be a success. We wish you luck, Edna. ROLAND O. MILDRAM “Roily” “Milly” Freshman Orchestra, Band 2. “Dust of the Road” 3; Nuntius 2 Not only is Roily an intellectual giant, but a most versa- tile chap. He has a great appreciation for music and has mastered three musical instruments. M e shouldn ' t be sur- prised to find him either a member of the “brain trust” or of Glen Gray’s band. At any rate, after his graduation from Harvard, he is bound to go places! THELMA D. MITCHELL “Dita” Glee Club 2, 3, 4 ; “Miss Cherryblossom” 2; “ Lucky Jade” 3; “ Look Who ' s Here” 4; Poetry Club 3, 4; Art League 3, 4; Red Cross 4; Lens and Shutter 4; Girls ' Club 3, 4; Masque and Wig, 4 Paint Brush! Tempera! Palate! It must be Thelma and it is. Who would ever think this live wire was ever shy and quiet? But she was when she entered M. PI. S. intent on becoming an artist. She is nearing her goal with many fine posters to her credit, and she is headed for Massachusetts School of Art where she will continue her studies. Best of luck, Dita. I SA B hi LLE M ONTGOM ERY “Ibby” “Stupe” Isabelle, better known among her friends as Ibby and Stupe, entered the M. H. S. from the Roosevelt School. Though of a manner shy, and even reserved, when within our cloistered halls, her friends outside are given glimpses of a different aspect of her nature, one of high spirits and fun. Her ambitions lead her to a high secretarial position. Her intelligence and powers of concentration should aid her considerably in her future career. 60 ALBERT MOORE Abit” “Al” Hi-Y 4 Al entered Melrose High School as a freshman from the Washington School in 1932. He has never had much dif- ficulty with his studies, and apparently with little effort he makes the grade. Serious to look at but mischievous to know, he is often one of the leaders in classroom mischief. Al expects to c ontinue his education along nautical lines and we wish him the best of luck. RICHARD MOORE “Dick” Baseball 1 Richard came to M. H. S. in the bright year ’32 from the Washington School. He was a very quiet and polite little fellow. By the time he became a junior he was quite a pop- ular boy. He was an average student and never had any trouble in his four years of school. Dick is going to enter business and we know he will be successful. ROBERT MOORE “Bob” Football 1, 2, 3, 4; President Hi-Y 4; Service Fund; Oper- etta; Masque and Wig; Tennis; Traffic Squad; Varsity Club Melrose High School opened its portals to the personal- ity of Robert Moore, a Roosevelt school graduate of 1932. Because of his smile, winning personality, and his good looks, Bob has been very popular with both sexes. But he does not let his social problems interfere with his school work. Bob has ,done exceptionally well in the organizations which he has entered. Next year, Bob plans to attend Dart- mouth, where, we feel, he is sure to succeed. JOSEPHINE MORAN “Jo” “Jose” A very welcome addition was made to our class in its senior year at M. H. S. This charming gift came to us in the form of Josephine Moran from St. Mary’s. A lover of all sports and dancing Jo became very popu- lar and has made many new friends in her short stay with us. Regis is to be the lucky college where Jo will continue her education. Such a pretty, good-natured and friendly girl is sure to succeed in all her future work. Best of luck, Jo, and may you always be as happy as you are now. 6i VAN MORRIS Hi-Y 3, 4; Traffic Squad 4; Art League 2; Football 1, 4; Lens and Shutter 3; Varsity Club 4; “ Look Who’s Here” 111 is carefree, happy-go-lucky youth wandered into Mel- rose High in 1932 and has been wandering ever since. With li is ever-present good humor and ready smile he quickly made friends. He is willing to lend a helping hand to any- one and has worked hand in the different activities he has entered during his stay at this institution of learning. Foot- ball is his favorite sport. After graduation Van plans to enter the Mass. Nautical School. Many Mermaids, Van. ETHEL MOSHER “Pete” Varsity Field Hockey 1, 2, 3, Captain 4; Varsity Basketball i, 2, 3, 4; Varsity Tennis 1, 2, 3, 4; Euclidean Society 3; French Club 3, 4; Log Staff 4; Traffic Squad 4; Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; School Life Staff 4; Varsity Club 3, Corres- ponding Secretary 4 Pete is everything that makes a popular girl. Eor four years she has excelled in sports, being captain of the unde- feated field hockey team in 1936. She is liked by everyone from the green freshman to the sophisticated seniors. She doesn’t care for studying, and yet with her keen mind achieves successful marks. No matter where her course may carry her next year, we will never forget our brilliant, popular, attractive Pete. GLORIA MULLER “Glo” Girls’ Club 3, Membership Committee 4; Secretary Poetry Club 4 ; Vice President Red Cross 3 ; Lens and Shutter 2, 3 ; Traffic Squad 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Winter Sports Club 4 A daughter of the sunny south — “ha ‘Yo’ all”. Gloria is loads of fun. She has a captivating personality that is hard to resist — shall we call it charm? Gloria possesses the most important requisite for tire trouble late at night — Jack. We wonder why that wealthy town just the other side of Bos- ton has such a fatal fascination? Come on now Gloria — confess ! Gloria is going to Katherine Gibbs and plans to be a private secretary. We wish her luck and hope the boss’s son is nice. JOHN MURPHY “Mutt” During his attendance here at Melrose High School, John has made many friends and acquaintances. He is a very easy going fellow, full of pep, and a constant source of en- tertainment for his classmates. John is a hard-working boy, and because of his job, he has unfortunately been unable to participate in any of the sports. John does not plan to at- tend any higher school of learning, but we are sure he will succeed. 62 W ILLIAM JOSEPH JAMES MUSE ‘•Bill” “Billy” Bill joined our ranks from the Lincoln School. He has a pleasing personality and seems to get along well with the many friends he has made while he has been here. He seems to enjoy the company of one in particular and you may always see this “petite idamsel” with him. He is very enthusiastic about sports, particularly track and basketball. He isn’t quite sure what he will do when he leaves us, but we think he is planning on taking a P. G. course. Good luck, Bill. LOUISA H. MYRICK “Lo” “Weesa” Girls ' Club 3, 4; French Club 3, 4; Manager Tennis Team 4 “You ' re only young once, so make the most of it”. Such is Louisa’s philosophy of life, which she tries to carry out. She is interested in winter sports, especially skiing. Many a day she has walked with her skiis on her shoulder nearly fo ur miles from her house to Mt Hood where she has found excellent skiing. (She deserves to!) She plans to enter Miss Chamberlain’s School in the fall. Here’s wish ing you the best, Louisa ! MARY LENORA NAZARIO “Cleo” “Nonie” “Lee” Cloak and Plume 1 ; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Chorus 1, 2, 3; Mas- que and Wig 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3; Red Cross 2 Whiz! “Who was that?” “Mary Nazario of course!” The sound of laughter — that’s Mary, our attractive Span- ish girl. Petite, black-eyed Mary came to us from Wash- ington School and before that from Puerto Rico. Are there any more there like you Mary? If so, we will have an overflow of Grade Allens, and that will be just “Bucky”. Her interests vary, including music, dancing, sports and acting, which she hopes to make her career. Mary has had some experience in this line, and we wish this pal of ours a successful career. ELMER NILES “El” “Al” “Lucky Jade”, “ Look Who’s Here”, Chorus 3, 4; Glee Club 4 Clear the way, for here comes that long sought for in- dividual, Elmer. He tells us he wants to be an amateur radio operator; and with his storehouse of knowledge, this will not be difficult. A well meaning fellow, full of fun and joviality, he is the possessor of a winning smile that will carry him far beyond his wildest dreams of success. Our hopes are high for you, so don’t make us regret it, Elmer. 63 FRANK O’LEARY “Squint” Baseball i, 3, 4 ; Basketball 4; Football 1 ; Asst. Manager 2, 3; Hi-Y 2, 3 Frank made the jump from the Lincoln School with the renowned class of 1932. His pet aversion is creating dis- turbances with his weird noises, but his good-humor and ready smile always brought him out on top. W e are sure that we will hear more about Frank’s pro- gress at Hebron where he will prepare for Dartmouth Best of luck, Frank! MARGARET A. OLIVER “Margie” Girls’ Club 3, 4; French Club 3, 4; Euclidean Society 3 M anners serene and radiant smiles introduce us to Mar- garet. R oosevelt claimed her first, but M. H. S. held the honor in ’32 A ppearances may be deceiving but she is really “tres ver satile”. E veready to co-operate and to be of the greatest service possible ( ) ver and above all her ambition to become a laboratory technician, but — Simmons calls her now. Best of luck, Margaret JAMES O’NEIL “Jimmie” “Peggie” “Jim” Football 1 ; Chorus 1, 2, 3 Jimmie came from St. Mary’s to enter M. H. S. in 1931. His charm and personaltiy have led him to make a host of friends. Jimmie has a great weakness for hockey, which he plays at every opportunity. His favorite pastime is making bits of furniture in his little workshop which he has im- provised down in his cellar. Jimmie intends to take up the study of Deisel engines when he graduates from high school. Good luck anyway, Jim. RUSSELL O’NEIL “Russ” Russ entered Melrose High School from St. Mary’s School in 1932. He is a good student, hut does not allow studying to take up all his time. Although he is apparent- ly a (quiet type of boy, he is not, as it seems, a woman-hater. His ambition is to become a chain-store manager. And some day we hope his ambition is fulfilled. Best of luck to him. 64 BARBARA PALMER “Barbie” “Bobbie” Girls’ Club 4; Program Comm. 4 Behold an aspirant to the noble heights of poetry writ- ing. Petite Bobbie, the perfect secretary, surprised 11s all by saying that her chief ambition is to be a noted writer of blank verse. This popular young laid} ' , whose favorite indoor sport is quoting second-hand jokes, came to Melrose from Roches ter, New Hampshire, in 1935. Since then, she has gained many friends by her sunny disposition. GEORGE HOWARD PALMER, Jr. “Bink” Assistant Hockey Team Manager ’35; School Life Joke Editor ’36; Traffic Squad ’36 One of the serious seniors in school, outside he is far from serious. In the winter he is a ski enthusiast; in the summer he is an ardent sailing devotee. Along Nantasket and Hull, his “Petrel” is a boat to be feared in a race. In school he has foregone most activities in favor of his studies. He is a Tech candidate, who we all expect will show up well. RICHARD PARANT “Dick” Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4 In 1932 Dick came from the Roosevelt School. He has been a track man for four years, competing in the dashes. He is greatly interested in horses. His ambition has recent- ly been to take up the study of Marine Borers. Dick is a fellow who will continue on through difficulties to success. He is now planning to enter St. John’s Prep. School next year. Lots of luck, Dick. GORDON PAUL “Bud” Gordon came to the Melrose High School in ’32. A quiet chap, he attacked his studies in earnest. In class he acts a little bashful but outside of school he is a regular fellow. His future is undecided, but whatever field he chooses, we predict he will be successful. 5 EARL PERRY Earl entered Melrose High from the Roosevelt School. He is not very well known to everybody, but he is well- liked by those whom he calls his friends. As yet, he is undecided about what he wants to do when he gets out of school, but we feel sure that he will succeed in whatever he undertakes. ALMA E. PIERCE Girls ' Club 3, 4; Welfare Committee ; French Club 3, 4 ; V. Pres. 4, Euclidean 4; Winter Sports Club 4 In the dim and distant fall of ’32, Alma sailed into our midst. While anchored at this port, she has made an en- viable record in her school work and has endeared herself to many of us with her even disposition and ready smile. Strange as it may seem, she has been known to b e all at sea in a boat, but show her a land fog (Fogland) and she needs no pilot. PAUL HORTON PIERCE “Piercy” “Baldy” Cross-country 2, 3, 4; Track 2, 3, 4; Basketball 3 Paul entered the new High School as a sophomore. After two years of cross-country running, he gained a place on the team which won the Mystic Valley League Champion- ship, captained by John C. Davidson. Paul hopes to enter New Hampshire State College and continue struggling with education and running. He also plans to enter Diesel En- gineering School for another five years. Here’s hoping the Diesel Engineering System will be a successful business. Rest of luck, Paul. VIRGINIA POWERS “Sis” “Ginger” Girls’ Club 3, 4 Ginger, class of ’36, was dropped on our doorstep from the Roosevelt School. She was a very shy freshman, who knew little about the ways of high school. We do not know what she intends to do upon leaving, but we hear that she is a gifted artist. She is a real pal, and we are sure that what- ever she undertakes will turn out successfully. 66 GILBERT P. PRIESTLY “Gil” Football i. 2, 3, 4; Hockey 1, 2, 3; Captain 4; Hi-Y 2, 3; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Traffic Squad 4; School Life Staff 4; Varsity Club President 4; Log Staff 4 Gil is probably the most popular fellow in our class. He is respected by all and deservedly so. Anything Gil does is bound to be done well. He was the backbone of the defense on the hockey team, and when he set out to take one man, he took him. Gil was an outstanding player on the gridiron as well as on the diamond. Melrose High will seem very different without Gil. KATHRYN PULSIFER “Kay” “Kitty” Chorus 1 ; Glee Club 3, 4; Girls’ Club 3 ; Basketball 2 Four years ago Kay entered M. H. S. from St. Mary’s School. Tall, dark, and, handsome, she is an ardent sports fan, and never fails to attend all athletic events. Kitty’s quiet smile and ever-present good-nature have won her many friends. At present a certain “Ecco in the Valley” is absorbing most of her spare time. Keep up the good work ! Everyone wishes you the best of luck. BERNICE LOUISE PYE Girls ' Club 3, 4 Hailing from the Roosevelt School Louise came to us a shy, young Freshman. She shows her studious nature by carrying a few books home each night. We do not know what she intends to do when she leaves school, but we are certain that what ever it is, she will succeed. JAMES GORDON RAMSAY, Jr. “Jim” Rifle Club 3, 4; Hi-Y Club 4; Traffic Squad 4; School Life Jim was born in Washington, D. C. He came to the high school from the Roosevelt School. His present hobby is shooting. Jim has worked hard to help make the rifle club a regular organization of the school, and it was mainly through the interest that he aroused that the club was started. Jim is quite interested in naval engineering and ar- chitecture, and plans to make them his career. A very con- scientious and dependable boy, he should go far in what- ever field he selects. 67 LOIS RANDLETT “ Lo” Poetry Club 4; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Glee Club 4; Chorus 3; Lens amt Shutter 3 Crash! bang! Well, look who’s here. Miss Lois Rand- lett from the Roosevelt school with her vivacious and im- perious personality. Her appearance is all sophistication hut underneath you will find a loyal friend. In her fresh- man year Lois jumped right into the swim but soon became sea sick ; in her sophomore year, chemical engineering en- ticed her; her junior year was spent rushing thither and yon ; and in her senior year law became rather dis-“gustin”. All in all, a successful and carefree four years. Lois is headed for Katherine Gibbs next year. Good luck, Lois, and fulfillment of your pecuniary desires. EDWARD REGAN “Ebbie” Baseball 1 ,2; Football 1 Edward came to the high school in ’32. He was a quiet and shy boy. He was a good dependable student at all times, and a great supporter of school athletics. Edward is not sure of his ambition, but we wish him success in whatever he undertakes. ELLEN RHODES “El” Girls’ Club 3, 4; French Club 4 Ellen entered Melrose High in 1932, among those from the Washington school. Since then, with her quiet, winning ways she has made many friends, and in the last two years seems to have preferred particularly the company of one masculine member of the class. “El plans to go either to Wellesley or to Middlebury next year, and we feel sure she will be a success in what- ever field she undertakes. ERMA RICHARDS Girls’ Club 3, 4 ; Red Cross 4 This attractive brunette is the exception to the rule that gentlemen prefer blondes. Coming to M. H. S. in her ju- nior year from Brockton, she is by now a Melrosian in every respect, even to the point of traversing the place with Jane via bicycles. There must have been some reason for her regular appearance at the basketball games. Could it have been the proverbial ? Erma’s destination is For- syth Dental School. Dental hygienists do look nice in white uniforms, don’t they? 68 JAMES C. RICHDALE, Jr. “J imie” Freshman Football; Golf Team 3. 4 ! 1 rack 2; Hi- 3 Ski Team 4 I imie, as he prefers to be called, was born in Providence, R. I. He came to us from the Roosevelt School in Melrose. Here at high school his spare time has been spent pursuing several pastimes. As a matter of fact, he has been some- what of a leader in two new sports, having been one of the chief promotors of the ski and golf teams. Jimie has made a host of friends, many of them girls, through his win- ning personality. After attending college, he plans to en- ter the oil business. WILLIAM JOSEPH RILEY “Bill” “Rainbow” “Willie” Orchestra 1, 3; Football 1 ; Band 2, 3 Bill is that rugged specimen of intellectual genius and generally bright student all rolled in one. He is not only all these, but also an all-round good fellow. He has that slight weakness for the fair sex as many another of our more prominent citizens have. Bill intends to pursue a (dif- ficult chemical engineering course at Tufts and will no doubt succeed at it. Well, here’s wishing you a lot of luck, Bill! ARTHUR S. ROBINSON “Art” “Bits” “Robbie” Thrift Council 1 ; Lens and Shutter 4 We are indebted to the Lincoln School for sending Art to us. Through his amiable character he has acquired a host of friends. He has not thoroughly made up his mind as to what he intends to do, although it is known by his closest friends that Aviation has been his foremost thought. What ever your intentions may be, Art, your friends wish you all the luck possible. PAULINE ROBINSON “Paul” “Polly” Clloak and Plume 1 ; Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Girls’ Club 3, 4 Four years ago this vivacious attractive student came to M. H. S. from the Washington School. Her infectious laugh, winning personality and sunny smile all go to make one of the best sports ever. As she is an accomplished pianist, her interests include music, as well as swimming, skiing, tennis, and dancing. We who have been fortunate enough to gain Paul’s friendship, find that it is indispen- sable. She intends to follow a business career, in which we wish her the best of luck. 69 WARREN FRANCIS ROGERS “Pinky” “Ward” Warren entered Melrose High from the Washington School in 1932. In the short space of four years, Warren has made great accomplishments. Although he is not a member of the varsity basketball team, he does play in the home room games. In my opinion he would rather play basketball than eat. Good luck, Roger. W ho knows? You may become one of our country’s leading players. Here’s to success ! JOSEPH A. ROTONDI “Joe” “Tiger” Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 2, 3; Cross Country 4; Glee Club 2 Joe is another one of those famous “East Siders” that came to us from the W ashington School. He is a smart fellow, but has no liking for books. Joe has made a name for himself by his fine playing on the hockey team, but his greatest ability seems to be making friends. He has one weakness, the fair sex, which he cannot seem to overcome, as he goes out into life, he carries with him the admiration and respect of his fellow students in t he class of ’36. LEON ROWE “Lefty” Fuseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 1 Leon came to us in “32” from the Washington School. Although he is a quiet boy, he is by no means a woman hater. Leon shows most of his brilliance in Miss Hickey’s bookkeeping class. He expects to enter business in the near future, and we wish him lots of luck. EVELYN M. RUD 1 N “Evie” “Pep” Ladies and Gentlemen — may I present Miss Evelyn Ru- din, an attractive if somewhat diffident young lady. Among her other assets Evie possesses brown eyes, brown hair, happy-go-lucky nature, and an all-round disposition. Her favorite indoor sport is knitting (or is it writing letters), and her ambition is to be a noted geometrician. Evelyn has gone far in M. H. S., and we know she will continue to do so. Best of everything to you, Evelyn. 70 MARTHA SAARI “Blondy” “Marty” Martha, a smiling blond came to us from the Roosevelt School in ’32. Due to her pleasing ways and ready laugh- ter she has formed many friendships. Mr. Scott, our in- former, says that although she has many admirers, she ad- mires only one, a little somebody who was famous as an athlete in M. H. S. a few years past. We wish you the best of luck, Martha, and success in all your future undertak- ings. JOAN SANDERS “Jo” Orchestra 1 , 2, 3 ; School Life 3, 4; Girls Club 3, 4; Induction Team 3; Secretary 4; French Club 3; Winter Sports Club 4 Who could believe such clever ideas emanated from so “petite” a personality? Yes, that’s Jo! We have all per- ceived them in her snappy, poetic Exchange editorials, in her original Girls’ Club reports, in her stories, her cartoons, and, especially, in her hobby, marionettes. Whether Jo continues her study of botany or not — she is quite an au- thority on flowers — we know she wall succeed, in spite of her stature, because of her variety of talents and her pop- ularity. OEOF SANDGREN “Swede” Olof entered the high school from the Washington School in 1932. In his four years he has won the friendship of many of his fellow students with his good nature and cheer- ful smile. His marks in his studies have been good through- out his school career. He plans to enter business. We all wish you luck, Swede, and may your future be a happy one. BETTY SAUER Cloak and Plume 1, Secretary ; Nun tins 2; Masque and Wig 2, 3, 4; “Outward Bound” 2; “The Admirable Crichton” 3; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Induction Team 4; Traffic Squad 3, 4 To know Betty is to know someone worth while. Trust- worthiness, a pleasing smile, and the ability to be a jolly good companion are some of Betty’s most outstanding char- acteristics. The determination and persistence which she has shown in dramatics are proof enough that she will be successful at Emerson. 7 1 JOHN D. SCARPA “Scarp” “Scraps” “Johnnie” Chorus i, 4; Football 1 John came to M. H. S. from the Lincoln School in 1932. He is a great little athlete, but unfortunately his small sta- ture has prevented him from paricipating in high school athletics to any great extent. His cheerful smile and win- ning personality have won him a host of friends. John is also a very talented young man in music. After graduating Johnnie intends to step into a business career in his father’s establishment. LEVIO J. SCENNA “Lee” Baseball 1 ; Hi-Y 4 Strolling leisurely to “M. H. S.” from the Washington School in 32, Lee added his good-natured presence to our student body. This fact accounts for his numerous friends. He is to be compared only with King Solomon when it comes to women. However, girls cannot overpower his strong determination to succeed in studying. We ' ll all be sorry to see him leave us this year, but we know that suc- cess will follow him throughout his college life. ROBERT F. SCOFIELD “Bob” “Sco” Football 1 , 2, 3 ; Baseball 1 ; Basketball 1 ; Euclidean 4 Bob came to us from the Washington School in ’32. He continued the good sportmanship exemplified by his brothers. Studying came to Bob as easily as money left him. We have yet to see a math problem that could stick him. After obtaining more of the unexcelled teachings of M. PI. S. through a P. (j. Course, he hopes to march on to West Point. Chin in! Chest out! Bob, we all wish you the best of luck. KENNETH M. SEARS “Ken” Football ' 1, 3; Band 2, 3; Chorus 1 Ken entered the Melrose High School in 1 93 — after grad- uating from the Washington School. He was rather inac- tive socially, as he worked after school so that he might gather the means to continue his education in some school of higher learning. His spare time was spent in following a unique hobby, that of “bee keeping”. Ken is especially interested in chemistry, which he intends to take up at Tufts College. 72 EDWARD SHAW “Eddie” “Ed” Ed entered his freshman year at Melrose High School in 1932, after graduating from the Roosevelt School. Although he has not participated in any school activities, he has given Melrose High his whole hearted support. He is undecided on what he is going to do after he graduates, but his friends feel sure that he will succeed in business. Good luck, Ed. VIRGINIA C. SHEPPARD “Jinny” Girls’ Club 3, 4; French Club 4; Traffic Squad 3, 4; Class Basketball 4 Virginia is one of those people to whom one can proper- ly apply the well-known proverb, “Still waters run deep”. Although to some she may seem a little quiet, to those who know her well, she seems quite different. This winter, es- pecially, she has enjoyed outdoor sports and has spent much time skiing at Mount Hood. After leaving M. H. S., she expects to attend Simmons, where she will take a course in buying. Good luck, Virginia ! JEAN S. SHERBURNE “Fuzzy” Girls’ Club 3, 4; French Club 4; Traffic Squad 4 Jean is a little blond girl who could easily be mistaken for a sophomore or junior. She has spent four years bluf- fing her way through Latin. She has, however, success- fully participated in several poster contests during her se- nior year. Ask anyone in 413 who is the cause of her blush- ing. Confidentially, it’s just an old friend. In whatever she decides to do next year in the line of art, we wish her success. RUTH SHIVERICK “Ruthie” Girls ' Club 3, 4; German Club 3, 4; Operetta 3; Basketball Manager 4; Field Hockey 2, 3, 4 Ruthie, a light-haired, vivacious freshman, came to us from Roosevelt in ’32. Many are her friends and her wil- lingness to be ever ready to help, has endeared her to many. Athletics appeal to her more than anything else and Sargent will claim her for the next four years. Only the best 0’ luck Ruthie ! 73 EUGENE N. SHUTE “Gene” “Skipper” Track i, 2, 3, 4; Masque and IV ig 3; Football 1 Gene, a fair-complexioned lad, entered the old M. H. S. in 1932, directly from the Roosevelt School where he ex- celled in sports. For three years now he has graced the halls of the new school with his spontaneous smile and sportsmanship. Skipper of times mentions “Virginia”. (Must be his native state or something). V ith his aggres- siveness he is soon to realize success. The best of luck to you always, Gene. NORMA SHUTE Cloak and Plume 1 ; Masque and IVig 2, 3; French Club 3, 4; Girls’ Club 3; Glee Club 2; Chorus I, 2, 3 In ’32 an attractive, blue-eyed lassie full of pep entered M. H. S. Because of her good nature and jovial spirit, she became a pretty special personage. Besides being full of pep, she’s everybody’s pal and can always be depended upon. Norma is also a very studious and ambitious person, and you can bet she will be a success in any career she may choose. So here’s to vou. Norma ! MARTHA E. SIBLEY “Angel Face” Girls’ Club 3, 4 Martha hailed from the Lincoln School in 1932. That serious countenance ! Yes, but don’t let it mystify you, for she’s full of fun and is always breaking in with something original. She is an ardent lover of eating, swimming, and dancing. Her future is undecided, but she’ll manage, for she has a way of getting things done, even her chemistry. Best of luck, Martha. RICHARD F. SIBLEY “Dick” “Sib” Track 2, 3, 4; Band 2, 3 ; Orchestra 1, 3 Dick came to M. H. S. from the Lincoln School in ’32. Quiet and good natured, he is well liked by his acquain- tances. 1 1 is only athletic tendency has been towards track As for his undecided future, we hope he will be as success- ful as he has been during his school years. Good luck, Dick! 74 MARJORIE E. SIMPSON “Marjie” “Mardie” Girls ' Club 3, 4; “Log” Staff 4 Just right — that’s Marjie, an honor student and a loyal friend. Lately Marjie has taken to the bridle path and can be seen Sunday mornings cantering along on her favorite steed. We, who have been fortunate enough to gain Mar- jorie’s friendship, know that her composed outer appear- ance is sometimes deceiving. Her sparkling blue eyes and charming smile tell us differently. We know Marjie will reach the heights if attractiveness and efficiency contribute to success. ELMER H. SMITH “Smitty” Football 1 ; Band 2 ; School Life Staff 4 This industrious young East Side youth stumbled through the portals of the Melrose High School in 1932 from the Washington School. Although he has outstanding athletic qualities, fate has thwarted his chances to use them. He is very studious, having received certificate grades through- out his four years. Elmer’s future is Tufts College and a vocation of chemical engineering, and we know he will be a success. EVERETT SMITH “Evey” “Smitty” Cross Country 4 Evey graduated from the Roosevelt School and entered Melrose High in 1932. Because of his good humor and other likable qualities, he has gained a host of friends. Evey’s ambition is to follow his brother’s footsteps and at- tend Northeastern University. Stick to it, Ev ; we all know you will be a success. G. MILFORD SMITH “Smitty” Hockey 3, 4; Baseball 4 “A dozen hearts you say I hold? A score or more are welcome”. “Not now”. Smitty came to us from the Lincoln School in ’32. He was a member of the “S” line in hockey and did some fine work as a left winger. Many of the fairer sex envy him his blond locks, but “he only has eyes for one.” Next year he will attend Tilton, and then on to College. More power to him. 75 LINCOLN SMITH “Tiger” “Link” “Sunshine” “Smitty” Tennis 3, 4; Operetta 2, 3; Glee Club 2, 3, 4 Tiger entered M. H. S. from the Roosevelt School. His teachers soon discovered he was not cut out to be a scholar. He did have the ability, however, to make friends and soon gained wide popularity. His pet hobby is following popu- lar orchestras, especially Casa Loma. He is interested in all athletics, hockey, swimming and tennis heading the list. Link plans to continue his education at Tilton Prep School. Success in the future, Link.

During her four years’ stay with us, she has gained many friends with her pleasing personality and ready wit. We feel sure she will make someone an attractive secretary, for, although she has been “ Billy ing” her way along lately, she has been appointed Mr. Scott’s left hand. MURIEL ELEANOR SMITH “Smitty” “Kang) r ” Girls’ Club 3, 4; French Club 3, 4; Class Treasurer 2, Sec- retary 4; Winter Sports Club 4; Service Fund Council 2, 4; Euclidean 3 During her four years at M. H. S., Muriel has been one of the most genial, active, and popular members of the class.

MYRTLE SMITH This bright-eyed, energetic young lady came to Melrose High to accomplish the unusual feat of completing the hard four-year college course in three years. Although quiet and studious, her sincere manner has attracted all who have come in contact with her. She is a real pal and a sincere friend. In her chosen profession of medicine, we wish her the greatest success. 76 ANDREW P.

He has made many fast friends in the past four years. ROYAL H. SPENCER, Jr. R oy came to us from the Roosevelt school a sincere, un- assuming, and altogether likable fellow. O ut of school he spends a lot of his time in the Pine Tree State, and we understand that a certain Maineian is partly responsible. Y es he prefers practice rather than theory and Diesel Engineering has been occupying a part of his mind lately. Lots of luck, Roy. STANWOOD STACK “Stan” Art League 3; Masque and Wig 3, 4; “The Stars May Change” 4 Every once in a while we come across a Jack-of-all trades; this year it was Stan. Besides receiving prizes in poster contests, Stan has become known as a clever actor. In play- ing a wicked piano, making marionettes, and in writing hair- raising stories, he has made a name for himself. Stan has excelled in all his activities and studies.

Owing to his genial humor and pleasing personality, he has acquired many friends throughout the school.

George plans to enter business next year, and with his ability he is sure to make good in anything he un- dertakes. PRISCILLA STONE “Rocky” Hockey 1 ; Glee Club 2; “Miss Cherry Blossom” 2; Chorus 3, 4 ; Girls ' Club 3, 4 This excitable, enthusiastic blonde entered M. H. S. from the Lincoln School.

Priscilla has a strong inclination towards art and we hope she may realize her fondest desires by attending art school next year. GRANT A. STONEBURY “Brud” Lens Shutter 3, 4; Art Club 3; Football 1 Grant came to the old high school from the Lincoln School. He has been very much interested in photography and plans to make a hobby of it.

In her senior year she seemed to take quite an interest in winter sports, especially the carnival ! Madeline plans to attend Garland next year. We wish her good luck, success, and happiness for the fu- ture. THELMA C. SWAIN “Thel” “Chris” Girls’ Club 3, 4; Ass’t Field Hockey Mgr. 3; Field Hockey Mgr. 4 Thelma has been a very conscientious, able student, quiet, unassuming, loved and appreciated by all who know her. But this quietness did not prevent her pathway from being strewn with many a boyish heart because of her big brown eyes and coy smile. What the years have in store for her, whether college or the business world, we cannot say, but we all wish her great success. HELEN-ELIZABETH TALBOT Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; Lens and Shutter 2, Treas. 3; German Club 4 ; French Club 3, 4 Helen, one of the youngest members of our class, is a sweet little brunette of si xteen summers.

Her favorite subjects are French and German, and she is now planning to enroll in Middlebury College, where she will specialize in languages. Helen’s ambition is to go abroad to visit her many relatives and friends in England and France. DONALD TAVERNER “Don” “Chubby” Hi-Y 3, 4; Varsity Club 4; Golf 3, 4; Football 1 ; “Look Who’s Here” 4 Don is one of the best natured boys in the class. He is well liked by his teachers and we attribute this to his smile. However, smiling is not his only accomplishment — Don can also blush ! 1 hrough his winning friendliness he has made a large number of friends. Perhaps one of Don’s best ac- complishments is his method of study: he can get good marks without much effort. 79 DONALD TESCHEK “Don” Football i, 2 “The whisper of a beautiful girl can be heard iurther than the call to study”. Don came to us from the Lincoln School in “32”. Although lie did not participate in many of the school’s activities, he was very popular with his classmates. His interests seem to be three — studies, flirting with the girls, and athletics. Don is a very good student, but not a “book worm”. He plans to enter an insurance company on leaving high school, and we are sure he will be successful. CHARLES H. THOMPSON “Charlie” “Tommy” “Farmer” Baseball (Manager ) 3; Chorus 3, 4; Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 3; Operetta 3, 4; Class President 3, 4 Way back in 1932, a robust, handsome lad left the Lin- coln School to join the ranks of High School. He is the likable happy-go-lucky type that gets along anywhere. Charlie will always remind us of fun and frivolity, for he always has a joking remark even in times of dire distress. Best of luck, “Charlie”, we wish you success in everything. VIRGINIA E. THOMPSON Lens and Shutter 3, 4; Girls’ Stamp Club 4; Baseball 2, 4; Varsity Club 4 Jinny, who always seems so friendly and happy, is most contented when indulging in skiing or mountain climbing. She would like to continue her studies at the University of New Hampshire to learn about agriculture. Each morning after that, she will arise at dawn to feed the chicks, etc. Good luck, Jinny. FOREST TILTON Band 4; Orchestra 4; Operetta 4 In 1934, Auburn, Maine, surrendered this lover of swing rhythm, and deposited lum in our midst. His infectious smile and wailing trumpet made for him many friends. He is one of the fellows who lets tomorrow take care of itself, and has no idea of his future activities. However, more than a few “36’s” expect him to be enrolled in one of the country’s foremost popular orchestras. 80 TERESA TURNER “Terry” Field Hockey i, 2, 3, 4 This tall, attractive brunette came to M. H. S. from St. Mary’s. During her four years, she has made many friends and will be loved and remembered by all who have had the pleasure of knowing her. Terry has a certain interest in Stoneham, but to finally “Cap (t)” the climax she has fallen for a M. H. S. senior. Good luck, Terry, in whatever you do. PAUL STEPHEN VAITSES, Jr. “Paulie” Hockey Team 3, 4; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4; German Club 3 Being a true Melrose man, “Paulie” was born here Aug- ust 31, 1919. Previously educated at Roosevelt, he there received a double promotion and arrived in high school in 1932 . In High School his efforts with the hockey team have been well rewarded in his playing. Without doubt “Paulie” should be class commodore. His ambition is to be a successful yacht designer. His own boat demonstrated his ability along that line. Bon Voyage ! DORIS VAN ALSTINE “Dolly” Girls’ Club 3, 4; French Club 4 Dolly entered High School from the Washington School. Her even disposition and quiet manner have made her a universal favorite among her classmates. She is greatly in- terested in music, but only her most intimate friends have the opportunity of hearing her play. Although Dolly is un- decided about what she will do after graduation, we are sure she will do well in whatever she undertakes. GWENDOLYN ESTELLE VANNAH “Gwennie” “Wendy” German Club 4; Girls’ Stamp Club 4 ( presiding officer ); Lens and Shutter 2, 3 Gwennie graduated from the Roosevelt School in 1932 and entered Melrose High School in the fall of the same year. In her senior year, she won first prize in the Amer- ican Legion essay contest. History and biology are her fa- vorite studies, and she plans to specialize in the former at Salem State College. Gwendolyn’s ambition is to take a trip “Westlisch von dewtschland” by air in the near future. 81 CHARLES VOCCA “Charlie” “Chaz” Football i ; Operetta 3; Glee Club 3, 4; Chorus 4 “Charlie’s here”; hide your sweetie! Curly black hair, big brown eyes, a come-hither smile, and a nonchalant air! hat more could you ask for ! Chaz has been an enthusiastic follower of both boys’ and gins’ sports in M. H. S., but somehow his fancies seem to turn to Wakefield. As long as he keeps “Hale” and hearty, his all round good fellowship and even disposition will lead him to success. ANNETTE VON L 1 EBERMANN “Countess” “Vonny” Chorus 2, 3. 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Operetta 2; Orchestra 1 ; Debating Club 2; Girls ' Club 3, 4 Four years ago Annette came to M. H. S. from St. . laiys School, though just an embarrassed freshman like the rest of us, she recovered without any permanent dam- age. Although she has not been very active in sports, she can always be found at the football, basketball, and hockey games. Annette has made many friends through her sunny smile and winning personality. HOWARD J. WALDEN “Howie” “General” Rifle Club 3, 4; l ice President 4; Rifle Team 3, 4; Hi-Y 4 Howie is a quiet, unassuming chap whose gentle disposi- tion won for him the admiration of a host of friends. He has distinguished himself as an accurate sharpshooter on the M. H. S. Rifle team. Howard’s hobby is hunting, but he also enjoys DeMolay, Rifle Club activities, Hi-Y, and the Y. M. C. A. Howie and his pal, Phil recently enlisted in the Headquarters Company, 3rd Battalion, i82d Infan- try, Mass. National Guard. The general is planning to go on the Mass. Nautical Training Ship. Good luck, Howie. PHILIP WALLACE “Phil” “Wally” “Major” Rifle Club 3, President 4; Freshman Baseball 1; Cross Country 3, 4; Track 2, 3, 4; Art League 3; Lens and Shut- ter 4; Log Staff 4; Stamp Club 4; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4 Phil Wallace — how familiar that name sounds to us all! Phil entered M. H. S. from Roosevelt in ’32. His popular- ity is largely due to his interest in school athletics and social activities (with whom a certain Jo helps to take part). Phil’s great ambition is to become a success in aviation, and lu further his education he plans to attend Southern Cali fornia School. In this ambition we all wish you much sue cess, Phil. 82 MARGARET F. WALSH “Tolly” Glee Club 2, 3; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Social Committee 4; French Club 3; Euclidean 3 When Tolly first entered M. H. S. from St. Mary’s School, she was a quiet little lass, but once she got her bearings she soon showed us how deceiving first appear- ances can be. Tolly has been a good student and has always done her bit toward cheering our teams on to victory. She has made many friends here and we know she will make many more at Burdett’s Business College, where she plans to go next year. RUTH WALTZ “Ruthie” Chorus 2, 3, 4; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Field Hockey 1 Crash ! Boom ! Bang ! Look who’s here. Don’t get excited, folks, it’s only Ruthie Waltz, who came to us in ’32 from the Lincoln School. Ruthie has a magnetic something about her that just draws you to her. Personality? Well, I’ll say. She hasn’t told us what she plans to do when she says goodby to M. H. S. but whatever it is, we wish her the best of luck. JEROME WAYSTACK “Jeremiah” “Peanut” “Doc” “Jerry” Jerry is known by all of his associates as a truly likable youth because of his winning personality. At first he had no eyes for the weaker sex but now those Woburn “Dills” get the call, jerry’s pet habit is arguing with teachers so as to get the rest of us scholars out of doing that unfinished homework. His ability for saying things at the wrong times sometimes get him a few embarrassing moments. As to the future, Jerry has aspirations of flying over one of those U. S. Greyhounds of the sea. DOROTHY WELLINGTON “Dot” “Dotsy” “Tutti-Fruitti” Orchestra 1 , 2, 3 ; Glee Club 3, 4; Euclidean 2, 3, 4 ; French Club 3, 4 ; Girls’ Club 3, 4 Dot wended her way with the rest of the W’s to Room 51 way back in 1932. A tall, blue-eyed blond, she is very, very modest, but don’t tell her so ! Much as she denies it, she is also very shy. But behind this reserve there is plenty of ability, and Dot is always willing to lend a helping hand. Her hobbies are sailing and knitting, but you should hear her fiddle ! Ever loyal to the W’s, Dotsy is going to Whea- ton next year. May your life lack bumps, Dotty! 83 ARTHUR H. WENTZEL “Art” Baseball i ; Football i ; Cross Country 4; Track 2, 3, 4 Art came into our midst from the Washington School in ’32. His cheery smile and sunny disposition have won the admiration of his class-mates. He is a lover of sports and has participated in many school athletic events. His pet hobby is listening to Fred Hoey’s broadcast of the baseball game ; he can predict the pennant winners and can tell you the life story of any big-league ball player. He is undecided as to his future, but we know that Art will be a success in all his undertakings. ELLIOT M. WHEELER “Ellie” Elliot came to us from the Roosevelt School. Although not a member of any of our clubs, he has made many friends. Wherever the strains of a good dance band are he ard, you will surely find Elliot there enjoying his favor- ite diversion of dancing. By the way, his other diversion is walking in the “Woodlands”. Elliot plans to attend He- bron Academy next year. Good luck, Elliot. BURTON WHIPPLE “Burt” Football 1 ; Rifle Club 3; Hi-Y 3, 4; Operetta 4 Burt came here from the Roosevelt School in the fall of ’32. His habitual smile and continual good-nature has won him many friends. Burt is a familiar figure at all school and social events. We hope he will do as well outside of school as he has done in it. Best of luck, Burt. ELEANOR WHITNEY Baseball 3; Debating Society 3, 4; French Club 4; Girls ' Club 3, 4 Eleanor is a reserved and unassuming girl with a com- paniable disposition. In her own calm, reticent way, she goes about her tasks with unruffled poise. Her chief inter- ests are the sciences and modern languages, but she is very much interested in sports, especially tennis. El plans to enter Simmons next fall. 84 ERNEST E. WHITNEY, Jr. “Ernie” “Whit” Football Manager 3, 4; “Lucky Jade” 3; Look Who’s Here” 4; Glee Club 3; Lens and Shutter 4; Ski Club 4; Hi-Y 2, 3 Ernie came from the Roosevelt School and for two years has been interested in football, becoming manager in his ju- nior and senior years. He has been a loyal supporter of all our teams. He took part in the operetta his junior and senior years. His favorite sports are skiing, football and hockey. We know he will be a success in life. MARGERY E. WIGTON “Margie” Euclidean 3, 4; Girls’ Club 3, 4; French Club 3 In 1932 Millbury High School was cheated out of an A- one student and where did she go? Why, to dear old M. H. S. Last year Margie won the junior class Spelling Bee and can she spell ! During her senior year, she spent most of her time as assistant in the school library. From what we know of her and from what she has thus far accomplished, Margie will certainly attain success in the future. JEAN R. WILKINSON “Jeanie” “Petite” “Spud” “Rooster” “Peanuts” Cloak and Plume; Basketball 4; Masque and Wig 2, 3, Vice Pres. 4; “The Stars May Change ” 4; Girls ' Club 3, 4; Torch 4; Euclidean 2, 3, President 4; French Chib 3, 4; Log Staff 4 Have you seen a cute little blond with the most mischiev- ous eye-brows in Melrose, and a nose “tip-tilted like a petal of a llower”? Well, that’s Jeanie! She came to us from Roosevelt and took high school right in her stride, becom- ing prominent in many activities. W’herever Spud is, she is always on her way somewhere else. A very frank little personality is Jean, and, being a Harvard fan, she intends to broaden her mind at Radcliffe next year. Bonne chance, Petite ! MARGARET WILLIAMS “Peg” “Margie” Peg entered M. H. S. from the Roosevelt School. With the help of a twinkle in her eyes, a cheery smile, and ever- ready wit she has become popular among her classmates. She is heading for a business education and we feel that she will make some fortunate individual a competent book- keeper. Her interest, at present, lies in the city of W ; ake- field. What is this attraction? 85 • RICHARD 1C W ILSON ‘ ' Willie” “Dick” “Richie” Cross Country 2, 3, 4 W illie made mail) friends while he has been in High School. His humor was enjoyed by everybody. He thought he would like to run on the Cross Country team, and, after many misfortunes, he became assistant manager and then manager. Dick is to attend the Bentley School of Accounting next ear. W e all hope he has a lot of luck 1 MARION WOODLAND “Geefe” Cloak and Plume 1 ; Nuntius 2; Masque and Wig 2, 3, C. Secretary 4; Girls ' Club 2, 3, 4; Chorus 2, 3, 4 ; Glee Club 3, 4; Class Treasurer 3; Junior Prom Comm. 3; “ Miss Cherry Blossom” 2; “ Lucky Jade” 3; “ Admirable Crichton” 3; “ Stars May Change” 4; Red Cross C. Sec. 2 A petite, pert, pretty, peppy, popular brunette dashing down the hall with her eyes sparkling! That’s Marion. For four years this delightful personality has distinguished her- self in Melrose High. She excels in dancing (ever notice the stag line around her ) and because of her willingness and capability, she leads in many fields. Acting is her spec- ialty and she plans to study dramatics next year. What- ever you undertake, Marion, you know “W heel’er” be cheer- ing for you. WILLIAM WOODSIDE “Bill” One morning in the early fall of “32” a lad sauntered merrily into the halls of M. H. S. His name was Bill, as Ins new friends found out. He has been very successful in his classes and we are sure his brilliance will stay with him in the future. If he can’t join the Marines, he will go to work, and we suspect it w ill be the latter. FRANK WOODW ARD “Bud” Hi-} 3, 4; Masque and Wig 2, 3, 4; Golf Team 3, 4; Var- sity Club 4; Admirable Crichton” , “ Look Who’s Here” Bud Woodward enjoys reading and knows all the good books, and “bookies”. Bud is one of the many golf addicts that knock little white balls around the green grass of Bell- evue Golf Club. High School dramatics interested him, and he took part in several plays put on by the school. Bud has hopes of taking up journalism and then joining the staff of some newspaper. Maybe he’ll be another Winched, who knows? W e all hope that W inchell’s proverbial black eye doesn’t enter your career. Good scooping, Bud. 86 STELLA WORTH Stella came to us from the Washington School. Although a quiet girl, she is well liked by all who know her. During her four years with us she has devoted most of her time to school work and therefore has not spent much time in out- side activities. Stella is undecided as to what her life’s work will be, but we hope she has the best of luck in what- ever course she pursues. RUSSELL WRIGHT Orchestra i, 2, 3, 4; Band 1, 3, 4; Hi-Y 4 “A Very Honorable Guy” named Russ came to us from Roosevelt. Although he is no “Student Prince”, he has climbed the “39 Steps” to success while in High School. Instead of going to “Arizona” to work on a “Dude Ranch’” he is going to attend Norwich and become a “Smiling Lieu- tenant”. We “Phyl” as though he will be successful in what- ever line of work he goes in for. We salute the “Wright” boy and wish him luck. MARJORIE YOUNG “Mugsy” “Marge” “Bumps” Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4 Marge may be at the end of the alphabet, but she’s not at the end of much else. She’s top-notch in her studies, and rates the same with her friends. Marge is an assistant dancing teacher, and a very capable one. We hear there are other outside interests as well. We predict success for you, Marge, and we know others will find you as we have, a girl worth knowing and a true-blue friend. 87 Reflections 88 Reflections 89 Reflections 90 Actor or Actress Song Orchestra Hang-out Pet Hate 5 t 0t — oJ c at £ % 2 .2 c £ c o -r 5 n- cd 0 X 3 cd £ ft 3 3 J HH a. %s a .a i ° !§§!

There is also a “Personal Column” which seems very popular. The Social Committee has “strutted its stuff” on several occasions. On Freshman Night, we had cider and doughnuts — very refreshing! Mothers’ and Dads’ Nights Suppers were a credit to the Club. The Welfare Committee has not been loafing either. At Thanksgiving, they provided dinners for eleven families, and through the year they have bought shoes and clothing for various families. But, after all, it is the Program Committee which is the mainstay of the Club. The Committee has had some hard struggles, but has always seemed to come out on top. A few of the splendid programs we have had are : A Barn Dance; Mr. Sav, the cartoonist; Fun Night; Mrs. Margaret E. Owen; Mr. Nic- kerson and his piano-accordian ; Shadow Movies; and the Style Show. We hope that next year’s Girls’ Club will prove to be just as successful, if not more so, than this year’s. MASQUE AND WIG President — Arthur Blackstone Vice-President — Jean ilkinson Secretary — Arlene Murray Treasurer — Robert Gordon Corresponding Secretary — Marion Woodland Faculty Adviser — Miss Hall With 1936 marking the close of the twelfth year of the present Masque and Wig Society of Melrose High School, we have been unusually successful. This success must be ascribed in a great measure to the friendly interest and guidance of Miss Hall, and the tireless efforts of our president. Most able assistance was also given us by Mr. Carney and other members of the faculty. The high-light of the year was, of course, the production of Lilian Smee’s English comedy, “The Stars May Change”. We had the singular honor of being among the first to present this play in this country. Our new policy in the reduc- tion of the price of tickets, and the interest in our play secured us a capacity au- dience, and we are happy to be able to continue the Masque and Wig scholarship this year. At Christmas time, “What Men Live By,” dramatized from Tolstoy’s short story of that name was most artistically done and greatly appreciated. The graduating members of the society will always look back with happy memories to the Masque and Wig. W3 THE MASQUE AND WIG SOCIETY OF MELROSE HIGH SCHOOL . .

With a group of one hundred mixed voices, it is developing slowly into a real factor in the life of the school. The fall term was spent in making the club into an organized unit and developing the faculty of reading music with some proficiency. The club made its first performance singing before the joint meeting of the Melrose Highlands Woman’s Club, also singing at the Teacher’s Institute. The climax to the months of preparation comes when the club gives its concert on May 22, thus finishing a year of comradeship and enjoyment. Such songs as “Dear Land of Home’’ by Sibelius ; “Bells” by Arthur Foote ; “On The Sea” by Dudley Buck, and others have met with decided success. The club is under the direction of F. Lawrence Whalen of the faculty. u8 HI-Y President — Robert Moore Vice-Presiden t — J amf.s Else T reasurer — Benning Wentworth Secretary — John Malm Corresponding Secretary— Paul Vaitses Faculty Adviser — Mr. Lutes The Hi-Y Club has successfully brought to a close its fourteenth year of ac- tivity. It has endeavored to “create, maintain, and extend throughout its school and community high standards of Christian character”. Each meeting was inspiring as well as interesting, and the variety of enter- tainment resulted in a higher attendance record than ever before. Perhaps those meetings with the greatest attendance were the Father and Son’s and Mother and Son’s nights. The Hi-Y paper, after a lapse of five years, was renewed under the name of “Hi-Lights of the Week”, with Roger W ilder as its Editor-in-Chief and Allen MacDonald and Philip Fogg assistant editors. The Club owes a deep debt of gratitude for the skillful guidance of Mr. Lutes, who was elected Club Adviser by a popular vote, and, we, the senior members of this club, hope next year’s club will have as successful a term as the last one. MELROSE THE FRESHMAN GIRLS’ CLUB President — Betty Campbell Vice-President — Mari eta Lowden Secretary — Am y Wentworth Treasurer — Barbara Lundsted Sponsor — Miss Colpitts The Freshman Girls’ Club was started this season in order that there might be a club open to any Freshman girl, regardless of abilities or talents. With this aim in mind, our club was organized with Miss Colpitts as sponsor. Not only did we have a Christmas Crafts meeting, thereby learning some use- ful arts, a speaker from Haivard to tell us what we could do after we got out of High School, a Fathers’ and Daughters’ Amateur Night, a picnic at the beach, a trip to station WNAC, and a big dance, but we also had our business meetings, thereby connecting business with pleasure. Although we have had a profitable and enjoyable year in the Freshman Girls’ Club, it is to be hoped that it will be continued, and that the incoming freshman classes will also find it pleasant and worthwhile. 12J axxxu 122 ORCHESTRA The Melrose High School Orchestra, although not as large as in past sea- sons, has won deserving praise whenever it has appeared. Much credit is due to the more than able leadership of Miss Mont and to the assistance rendered by M iss Wilson and Mr. Whalen. The participation of this group in the Operetta, the Masque and Wig play, and a Parent Teacher’s meeting added greatly to the enjoyment of the audience. Certain it is that this laudable school organization enjoyed a most successful year. 123 BAND This year, the band, under the inspiring leadership of Miss Mont for the second time, has had a wide range of activities. Playing at all football games, rain or shine, this band has proved itself equal to the occasion. The band played for Father and Son ' s night, hockey games in the Boston Garden, various school assemblies, and, on November n, had the honor of leading the parade with Post 90, American Legion. At the Concert this year, the band is privileged to present again, Walter Smith, world famous cornet soloist, with his two sons, Walter Smith Jr., and Stuart Smith. Dr. Verne Powell, first flutist of the People’s Symphony Orches- tra, has again kindly volunteered his services. I he band will lose but six members this year, Russell Wright, our bass drummer and “Handy An,dy” (what band could gel along without one), Donald flause, Herbert Halliday and James Ramsey, Jr. of the brass section, Spencer Campbell, bass clarinet, and Natalie Maclnnis, drum major. 124 LENS AND SHUTTER SOCIETY President — Glen Jaycock Vice-Presiden t — R a l p h Gov i Secretary ' — Patsy Stone Treasurer — Ralph Fritch The Lens and Shutter Society has finished its third and most successful year under the very able guidance of Mr. Mansur. This year we departed from our usual form of having a speaker at every meeting by encouraging more individual work. Of our membership of forty-six about twenty have found the great pleasure of dark room work. During the year various members of the club have given instruction to the beginners, increasing their knowledge and experience by this policy of student leadership. The quantity and quality of work done this year has given us a feeling of confidence in our own ability to improve our pictures. We intend to continue to improve and make Melrose High School photography-conscious. 125 DEBATING SOCIETY President — Alden Tibbetts l r ic e-President — Edwin T hum pson Treasurer — Spencer Cam pbell Recording Secretary — Dorothy Clark Corresponding Secretary — Dorothy MacRobert The program this year has consisted largely of debates between the mem- bers and with schools in the Metropolitan Debating League, a group of nine Greater Boston High Schools. The league topic was Resolved, that the several states should enact legisla- tion providing for a system of complete medical service available to all citizens at public expense. Each school had both an affirmative and a negative team debat- ing the topic. Though our teams did not win from Cambridge High and Latin or from Somerville, yet they showed marked improvement over last year. With continued interest and practice, we hope for better results in the future. 126 POETRY CLUB President — Ruth Alger Vice-President — Laurence Re mis Secretary — Gloria Muller Treasurer — Laurence Richardson Faculty Adviser — Miss Putnam The Melrose High School Poetry Club of 1935 and 1936 has had twenty-two members. Only four of them are graduating this year. The regular monthly meetings have afforded great interest and pleasure for all during the year. The two outstanding meetings were : a play, portraying the life of Edgar Allan Poe, which the members put on; and the scrap book meeting, in which all the material of the club was assembled, such as famous poets, orig- inal poems, and autographed copies of poetry books and poems. This material was exhibited at one of the Parent-Teacher’s meetings. Laurence Richardson, Mary Jane Claflin, and Marion Kingston have done the most outstanding work in original verse. e seniors feel that we have benefited a great deal by each meeting, and we sincerely hope that the members in the future will enjoy the club as much as we have. We also want to thank our sponsor. Miss Putnam, for all she has done to make the dub interesting. 127 CLOAK AND PLUME President- J oh n Ti ern ey Pice-President — Carman Wolff Secretary — Mary Jane Claflin T reasurer — Mari lyn Woodm an Faculty Advisers — Mr. Kroepsch, Miss Wilder Under the leadership of Mr. Kroepsch and Miss Wilder, the Cloak and Plume Society, the Freshman dramatic club, has enjoyed a very successful and profitable year. This year our monthly programs have included the presentation of one-act plays, including “The Unseen’’ and “Figureheads”, as well as readings, imper sonations, and pantomines. W e have had one meeting at which an outside speak- er entertained us -Miss Mildred Norcross of Watertown reading for us on that occasion A. A. Milne’s play, “The Romantic Age”. We are pleased to have made our small contribution to the success of the annual Masque and Wig play by assisting in the sale of tickets; and we also took part in the program presented to the Parent-Teachers’ Association by the clubs of the school. Our success has been due t j a hard-working corps of officers, John Tierney, Carman Wolff, Mary Jane Claflin, and Marilyn Woodman, as well as to excel- lent co-operation on the part of individual club members. Following the example of last year’s Cloak and Plume, we wish to thank our sponsors for helping us to enjoy discovering and .developing dramatic ability. 128 SCHOOL LIFE The purpose of our student publication. School Life, is to serve its readers. Our aims are to represent all four classes in each issue, to recognize real effort in any contribution, however brief, and to place the welfare of the school above all other goals. This year, under the invaluable leadership of Miss Drake and Mr. Battles, faculty advisers, the publication has again succeeded in bringing to the student body a fuller comprehension of the activities of the school. Contri- butions to all departments of the magazine have been unusually good, with all classes of the school represented in each issue. The staff of School Life takes this opportunity to express its appreciation not only to those who, by their efforts, have made the publication a success again this year, but also to those of the student body who, by their support, have made the continuation of publication financially possible. We look forward to another year of service to the school, and feel confident that it will be as successful as those of the past. 129 JUNIOR RED CROSS President — Shirley Larkin Vice-President — Mary Sm ith Sec retary-Treasurer— - Norma J efts Chairman of International Correspondence — Mary Smith faculty Adviser — Miss Gilman The motto of the Junior Red Cross is “service to others”. To retain that standard, in the fall, the Christmas Boxes, which are annually tilled in the Grade Schools of Melrose to be sent to less fortunate children in foreign countries, were inspected and shipped by members of the High School Council. Again this year, home-made candy, cigarettes and magazines have been sent to the Bedford Veter- ans’ Hospital. At Christmas, under the direction of the City Welfare Depart- ment, six families were supplied with dinners. We have also started this year an International Correspondence Album containing notes and pictures of the activ- ities in our High School. Our annual drive for Red Cross funds was started simultaneously with the request for clothes and food for the flood relief in New England, and the large amount of contributions was greatly appreciated. Thus, this year, the Junior Red Cross has been able to participate in each of the three phases of the National Red Cross program for “Local, National, and Interna- tional Service”. 130 NUNTIUS There were this year, as usual, three issues of Nuntius, the paper produced by the freshmen and sophomore Latin classes. Its articles were written either in Latin on any subject, ancient or modern, or in English about Roman subjects. Since it aims to instruct and to amuse its customers, it contained jokes and puzzles as well as articles of informational value. With the co-operation of the commercial department in the production of the paper, the pages were in mimeographed form and were illustrated by original drawings. Practically the entire Latin department contributed to its articles and sup- port. ly wammmmmmm THE RIFLE CLUB President — Ph ili p Wallace l 7 ice-President — Howard Waldon Secretary- Ralph Armington T reasurer — Robert Morrill Range Officer — Gordon Lowe Faculty Adviser — Mr. Worth I he Melrose High School Rifle Club started this season with twelve old members and more than a hundred applicants for membership. Since we are still using the small Legion Range, we could accept only the forty most promising, thus our membership is fifty-two. The Club was then divided into four equal squads, each meeting once a week. In January a team of ten was selected, and the rest of the Club (mostly begin- ners) meets ever) ' W ednesday under the guidance of Mr. Mansur, to whom we owe a vote of thanks for his valuable services. With last year’s and this year’s dues, the Club has added to its equipment a Springfield M i .22 caliber. Having a gun which is our own enables us to shoot more consistently and get better scores at matches. Through the efforts and skill of some of our best shots, Tyler, Ramsay, Hol- land, Armington, Sault, and Casey, we have won two of our first three matches. The scores were: Beverly 4B1 to Melrose 47b; Beverly 484 to Melrose 489; M. I. T. Freshmen 479 to Melrose 473. 132 FRENCH CLUB President — Phyllis Lerner Vice-President — Alma Pierce Secretary — Betsey Lowell Treasurer — Gladys Eaton Faculty Advisers — Miss Chase, Miss Dodge The French Club of 1935-1936 was launched with a record-breaking mem- bership of forty girls. On our first sail, Mr. Morrill entertained us at the piano with some delightful Strauss waltzes and told us all about them. The Christmas meeting was a gala occasion. After Miss Chase had read us a selection from a Bible written in French, we exchanged ten-cent gifts, sang songs “a haute voix” and discussed “la vie moderne”. At the beginning of the new year, when it was necessary for our captain, Miss Chase, to leave the ship because of illness, we feared a shipwreck, but, vith the kind help of our first mate, Miss Dodge, we managed to mend our sails. During our year’s cruise, we have endeavored to in- crease our knowledge of France and its people by having charades, plays, poetry, and informal discussions as our monthly programs. Our sail into the channels of French art with Miss Dodge as pilot proved entertaining as well as educational. To make the meeting even more interesting, she showed us some little trinkets which caught the heart of every sailor. Now that we have reached the end of our voyage, it is with deep regret that we leave the ship, for although we have missed our captain, we have enjoyed many good times together. To the members of the French Club of the future, we, the officers and crew of this year’s organization, wish a hearty “Bon Voyage!” 133 THE GERMAN CLUB President — Marjorie Borden l ice-President — Marion Locke Secretary — J ean M errill T reasurer — Fran k Sh iverick Faculty Adviser — Effie S. Brown The Melrose High School German Club has held regular monthly meetings llus vear. W e have tried to create an atmosphere of German “gemutlichkeit” by conducting our business meetings in German, singing German folk-songs, danc- ing folk-dances, atvl making our conversation and refreshments as German as possible. I ‘ ' or our February meeting, we were very fortunate in having Profes- sor Haskell of Boston University show us some lantern slides, which he had taken in Germany last summer. Everyone enjoyed his slides and expressed grat- itude to Professor Haskell. On Tuesday evening, March io, the German Club participated in the entertainment for the Parent Teacher’s Association, by pre- senting a Tyrolean skit. We sang a few well-known German folk-songs in Ty- rolean costume. The ierman Club is also a member of the league of German Clubs of the schools of Greater Boston. Two or three representatives from each school at- tend the meetings at the different schools. The first league meeting this year was held at the Harvard Germanic Museum, the second at Medford High School, and the third in Brookline, where moving pictures of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the scene of the winter ( Mympics, were shown. The final conclave,, in which each school takes part will be held at the Girls’ Latin School in Boston, in May. 134 EUCLIDEAN SOCIETY President — Jean Wilkinson Vice-President — George Kimball T reasurer — George MacMonagle Secretary — Adelle Cutler Sponsor — Mr. Whitney The purpose of the Euclidean Society is to promote interest in the develop- ment of mathematics and science. During the course of the year, it is the aim of the society to have speakers and to have the club members visit companies and organizations of scientific interest. This year, under the careful advisorship of Mr. Whitney, a new member of the faculty, the society has had a very successful year. The work has been chief- ly trips. The first trip of the year was to the Agassiz Museum at Harvard, where a special study of phosphorescent and fluorescent minerals was made. Other trips of the year were made to Lever Brothers Soap Company; Station WEEI ; and the Ford Plant. The senior members of the Euclidean Society want to wish all the remaining members and those who will soon be in that society the best of luck, and we hope that the purpose of the club is successfully carried through in the years that fol- low. 35 BOYS’ STAMP CLUB President — Robert Stiles Vice-President — Roger W ilder Secretary — Carleton Greene Treasurer — Addison Winship Sponsor — Miss Garden This club was formed at the beginning of the year for the purpose of creat- ing, among high school collectors, a better understanding and a greater interest in stamps. The enthusiasm and undying interest of the members has succeeded in making the club what we want it to be. As we now near the end of its first year, we feel we have made a substantial beginning for the club in future years. Our meetings are held twice a month with some sort of entertainment plan- ned ahead by the Program Committee. Through the interest and efforts of Miss Garden, we have had our best programs, while acquaintances of members, always authorities on stamps, have offered many unusual programs. We were most for- tunate in having the privilege of making a tour through the new Boston Post Of- fice during the February vacation. On other occasions, we have held auctions and a very successful poster contest, to say nothing of an excellent exhibit ar- ranged by the members for a Parent-Teachers meeting. In addition, we received an invitation to a club party from the Arlington High School Stamp Club. With this summary of activities, perhaps one can easily realize the value of the Club. 136 GIRLS’ STAMP CLUB President — Gwendolyn Vann ah Secretary and Treasurer — Dorothy Fletcher Sponsor — Miss Damon The Girls’ Stamp Club, for the year of 1936, has had seventeen members, seven of whom will graduate this year. The club was organized in January of this year to give the girls who are interested in philately an opportunity to dis- cuss interesting facts about stamps and to increase their collections by trading. The programs of the year have included auctions and stories of stamps. We have conducted a poster contest, which brought out much originality on the part of the girls. Interesting talks have been given on the Olympic Games, Louis Pasteur, and other topics bearing on famous stamps. The seniors sincerely hope that the Girls’ Stamp Club in the future will have as fine an,d interesting meetings as were held this year. We feel that we have learned a great deal about the exciting hobby of stamp collecting, and we wish to thank our sponsor, Miss Damon, for helping us to make our club a success. 137 THE MODEL AIRPLANE CLUB President — Warren Miltmore Secretary — Paul Hopkins Reporter — Richard Lori more This clul) was organize,!] in the l all of 1935 to provide for the needs and in- spiration of the members of Melrose High School who are engaged in building model airplanes. Among the activities of the club are ( 1 ) ' light contests for the various types of planes and ( 2) trips to airports and other places of particular interest to mem- bers. The meetings of the Club, which are informal, are usually held in the Gym- nasium twice monthly. 138 TRAFFIC SQUAD ‘39 4 ° FOOTBALL The Football team enjoyed a very successful season last fall. The fact that we had new and lighter suits besides a new faculty manager may be considered a big reason for the success. For the time, the team was led by Co-captains Tom MacDougall and Charley Thompson. The season opened with a very easy victory with Johnson High School. This gave the team confidence and showed the coaches what was needed to be done to improve the offense. Some fine playing was done by Thomas MacDou- gall in running and passing ; by Gilbert Priestly in receiving passes and blocking ; by Donald DeLuca and Marvin Shaw at tackle ; by A 1 Giovino and Harold Thompson at guard; by Vernon Fletcher, Bonzagni, Sullivan, and Ross Getty in the backfield. Through the leadership of coaches, Mr. Poole, Mr. Scott, and Mr. Whalen the football team completed a very successful season.

In the first seven games of the Greater Boston Interscholastic League, with all of the eight teams participating, Melrose lost only to Stoneham High, which later annexed the Championship. In a series of three games between the four teams in the first division, the Red and White did not fare so well. Melrose tied with Newton and lost to Arlington and Stoneham. In the final league standing, Melrose was in a second place tie with Arlington, and a game and a half behind the Championship Stoneham sex- tet. The first line of Sullivan, Smith, and Shaw did most of the team’s scoring, while Frank Sullivan was the leading individual scorer. The second line con- sisting of Rotondi, Davison, Noyes, and Hennessy, was more of a defensive line, being scored on only twice. This excellent record speaks of good back-checking and covering. Capt. Priestley, Sullivan, Shaw, and Rotondi were picked on the Greater Boston Interscholastic team, which defeated the Bay State League “all” team 7 to 4 and later C atholic High of Montreal, 4 to 3. 142 BASEBALL This year’s team, which is composed almost entirely of veterans, should work well together as a group considering their former experience. Under the coaching of Mr. Poole, this team should prove to be the best in many years, and there is no reason why they shouldn’t be at the top of their league. Coach Poole predicts, from the looks of the material, that we should have a championship team. Not long ago there was a movement to abolish baseball altogether, but by the co-operation of the student body, who voted for it and agreed to buy season tickets to support the team this year, the greatest of American Sports will be al- lowed to continue for another year. VETERANS FROM LAST YEAR Infielders — Turner, Dwyer, Bonzagni. Pitchers — Sullivan, McLaughlin, MacDougall, O’Leary, Rowe. Catcher — Paterson. Outfielders — Dubrofsky, Mayne, Priestly, Hawes. 143 iissr BOYS’ TENNIS On April 13, thirty-eight candidates reported to Mr. Udall for the tennis team. Although this was the first regular meeting issued by Mr. Udall, a num- ber of the boys have been practising in the gym for several weeks. There are only two veterans : Richard Bullens and Lincoln Smith, but a number of promising comers including: George Kimball, Robert Allard, Arthur Bindsall, Bob Moore, Donald Hause, and Don DeLuca. The team is entered in the Interscholastic meet in Newton on May 21, and we are sure they will make a good showing.

They have had this sport in this school for only three years and last year the team gained the Mystic Valley Championship title. During the season they won seven meets and lost two. These are the teams they competed against: Beverly, Tufts, Wake- field, Woburn, Stoneham, Winchester, Quincy, Tufts, Arlington, and the Mystic Valley Championship race which was held on our own course. The boys who have been awarded letters are: Captain John Davidson, Charles Benedict, Richard Iiosmer, Paul Pie rce, Robert Barrar, Robert Toombs, William Brooks, Richard Wilson. 45 ' T T3 BASKETBALL Captain — Donald DeLuca Manager — William Anderton Coach — “Doc” Clark The lettermen are as follows: Paterson, MacDougal, Hosmer, Fletcher, Sher- idan, Lofchie, Getty, and O’Leary. Although this year has been scant in victories for the basketball team, we believe that it is just the ever-occurring lean year between good seasons. The team actually played better than the record might show, for several games were lost by heart breaking margins. Next year, with more experienced material, the team should go places. Keep your eyes on the basket-lads. 146 GOLF The golf team has as its nucleus six veterans from last season, Captain Har old Collins, Frank Woodward, James Richdale, Richard Knight, Donald Tav- ener, and Robert Widdowson. Close on the heels of these veterans are Roy Rumberg, Richard Ray, Robert Bleyle, Burton Whipple and Paul Pierce, a quintet that should help the team to win more than half its matches. The schedule calls for home and home matches with Brookline, Newton, Winthrop, Malden, Salem, Arlington, and a single match with Worcester Acad- emy at Worcester. 147 MCMXXX1 148 TRACK This year, as the year book goes to the printer, the track season will just be getting under way. Coach “Doc” Clark predicts a highly successful season. In nearly every event there are veterans, and there is a large field of newcomers. Dual meets have been arranged with : Wakefield, Revere, Arlington, Woburn, Beverly, Boston College, Winchester, and Cambridge Latin. Also, there will be either the New Hampshire State Interscholastics or the Pittsburg Interscholas- tics and the Harvard Interscholastics. BASKETBALL Captain — Frances Hyland Manager — Ruth Shiverick Coach — Mary Sargent This year about two-thirds of the girls of the school signed up for basket- ball. There were teams from each home room, each one played against the other, with the senior home room 405, as ultimate winners. From the homeroom teams, the inter-class teams were chosen, with the junior first and second teams winning. The outstanding players from all the teams comprised the varsity. The four inter-class teams played a game with Medford and all but the seniors won.

Spirit and sportsmanship were outstanding from the be- ginning of the season to the end. Pete Mosher, captain, proved to be a very valuable asset to her team. Marie Manzer, Virginia Lynde, Francis Hyland, and Janet Faden were veterans of for- mer years. Although the team will lose these outstanding players, we sincerely hope that Captain-elect, Harriet Page, and her team will continue next year with another c hampionship team.

Tennis is one of oui most popular sports, since it can be continued after school has closed. This year the Varsity is scheduled to play matches with the following teams: W inchester, Arlington, Concord, Lexington, Nashua, N. H., Malden, Bel- mont, and Medford. Frances Hyland, Ethel Mosher, Janet Faden, and Lois Wildes were out- standing members of last year’s team, who will carry on for Melrose High again this year. Other probable players are: Natalie Stevens, Ruth Shiverick, Jane Stuart, Harriet Page, Marcia Seward, and Mildred Young. Although no games have been played yet, we are hoping for an interesting season. 1 2 BASEBALL Co-Captains — Marie Manzer, Sue D’Antilio Manager— Barbara Lyford Coach — Mary Sargent About one hundred an,d fifty girls have signed up for Baseball this season. From this number we have some well-known veterans. Sue D’Antilio and Thelma Keating as catchers, Elsie Rosendale and Lois Griffiths as pitchers, and Lida Hine as first baseman. Also we have Isabel Baker, Lucile Colbert, Marie Man- zer, Janice Carpenter, Martha Saari, Verna Johnson, Phyllis Byette, Edith Dob- son, Cynthia Streeter, Levina Hine, Barbara Preece, Luella Wheeler, and Wini- fred Turner. The schedule for the Varsity Team for the 1936 season is as follows: Lexington at Melrose — May 14th Wellesley at Melrose — May 15th Winchester at Winchester— May 20th Arlington at Arlington — May 26th Wellesley at Wellesley — May 29th We hope the girls will have a successful season, but we know they will en- joy this sport, which is such a favorite game, whether they win or not. At the time this article is written, the inter-class series have not started, but we feel sure the Seniors will make a good showing. •53 Class Day Elmer George Historian Robert Moore Prophecy Donald Hause Statistician Marie Manzer Presentations CLASS ODE Words by Virginia Lyndc Music by Natalie Maclnnis Hail Alma Mater, staunch and true Our hearts are pledged to you We sing the glory of your fame Praise be to your name Through life you’ll ever be our guide; Our loyalty and pride Will make us fight for Truth and Right For Melrose High.

Thompson Parents, Teachers and Friends : We, the class of 1936, cordially welcome you here this afternoon. Our relations as a class will soon be at an end, but, as individuals, we hope to reach the heights in character and position, toward which you have helped us. For years we have all been looking forward to this moment which we may consider the first great step in our lives. It is to you teachers, who have worked with us, and to you, our parents, who have sacrificed for us, that we owe our present success. In the ceremonies that billow it is our earnest desire that you share with us the pleasant reflec tions of our school life. CLASS HISTORY Elmer George Four, short years have elapsed since the class of 1936 entered their home- rooms in the former high school, the Methodist Parish House, and the antiquated Sevvall School. Great was the confusion that arose from having a rather involved campus, but as time went on signs of intelligence began to appear in this lowly freshman class. Under the excellent supervision of Mr. Sprague, our inspiring leader, assisted by the proficient Mr. Scott, we were at an early age set upon the right track. Having at last become acquainted with teachers an,d room numbers, we turned our attentions toward sports and clubs, not forgetting, however, to maintain a high scholastic standing. First, the freshman football squad was called out for practice by their coach, Mr. McPheters, better known as “Mac”. Within the ranks of players were those who were destined to be outstanding in years to come. Although not always victorious, the team was usually able to cope with its op- ponents and finished the season with more victories than defeats. In a small gymnasium often dampened by puddles of water our basketball team practiced and played several games. Those who were dramatically inclined joined the Cloak and Plume Society ' and elected Ross Getty as president. At this time Mr. Houghton formed a freshman orchestra for students interested in music, and I might add that we all took part in the chorus. As economy and health are always prime factors in everyday life, we chose a Thrift Council and Red Cross dele- gates to represent our class. It was thus that our first year was consumed by ' studies, sports, and organizations. Having survived our freshman y ' ear with no ill effects, we commenced our second year in this beautiful new building with its brillantly illuminated class- rooms and spacious gymnasium and auditorium. Although we were not the first freshman class to enter this new school, we have the honor of being the first Sop- homores, which is almost equivalent. Unfortunately this modern habitation was as mystifying to us as it was to the Freshman, and numerous were the questions askeff of teachers concerning the location of various rooms. What was almost scholastic chaos soon abated, and work peacefully continued. As the year progressed, it became necessary to elect officers, a privilege not enjoyed until the sophomore year. As president the class elected Ross Getty, a smiling lad, who performed his duties faithfully. Now it was also our good for- tune to be able to join the Hi-Y Club, Girls’ Club, Debating Club, and the Mas- que and Wig Society. Many took advantage of this and became prominent in their respective organizations. Our magazine “School Fife”, which contains short stories and compositions, and makes the news of all activities available to the student body, was efficiently managed by several of our class during the past four y ears. Another publication is the “Nuntius”, a Latin paper, written for both Freshman and upper-classmen. Those who contributed cartoons an,d cover designs for these journals deserve special mention, for the drawings are exceptional. Every year it has been the custom to have a music festival, which is the gathering of the bands and orchestras of the entire state at some city. In 1933 the high school musicians met at Melrose. Many of the members of our class took part in this gala event which lasted all day. Because of its adequate accom- •57 modations, our school was indeed advantageous. With this I end the brief his tory of our sophomore year which may be justly deemed outstanding. W ith the junior year came a change in the presidency, for the class elecled “Charlie” Thompson for that position. A few months later a Prom Committee was chosen consisting of Marion Woodland, chairman; Philip Caulder, Frank Sullivan, Francis Hyland, Charles Thompson, Bob Moore, and John Hess. They cleverly decorated the gymnas- ium in a most extraordinary manner with cardboard fish and streamers so that one felt as though he was immersed in some South Sea coral shoal. This dance was greatly enjoyed by all who attended. Everyone is acquainted with the renowned Washington Trip, which is under the guidance of Mr. McPheters. This excursion, being primarily exceptional, takes place during the spring vacation. It was the good fortune of many of our class to be able to make this trip last year. Although not connected directly wiih the school, it is one of the principal events of the year and is worthy of being mentioned. Under the competent direction of Mr. Whalen, the operetta, “The Lucky Jade”, was produced with several of our class taking the leads. The music- al voices of. Dorothy Holman, Phyllis Bryant, and Elmer Niles will long be re- membered resounding from the stage of this auditorium. A few weeks later Miss Mont conducting the Melrose High Band presented a concert with Walter Smith as soloist. These two musical events were enthus- iastically received by the citizens of Melrose and the neighboring cities. After taking final examinations, (that is those of us who had to) we left school for our summer vacation until the fall when we should enter upon and complete our last year in the Melrose High School. We commenced our senior year by re-electing Charles Thompson, president, George Kimball, vice-president; Muriel Smith, secretary; and Beth Brunning, treasurer. Early in the fall by means of the strength tests supervised by “Doc” Clarke, one of our class proved himself to be the strongest boy not only in this school but in the entire United States. As you all know, this was Roger Knapp. Our foot- ball team captained by Thomas MacDougall and Charles Thompson, assisted by such letter men as Ross Getty, Don DeLuca_, and Gil Priestly, won all except two games, an excellent record. Gil Priestly as captain of the hockey squad led his teammates to second place in the league. Among those who excelled in this sport were Warren Davison, Frank Sullivan, Joseph Rotondi, and Arthur Birdsall. Al- though not as successful as the hockey team, the basketball squad under Don De- Luca played hard and won many games. The track squad with Dick Parant, John Davidson, Gene Shute, and Richard Sibley, and the tennis team supported by Richard Bullens and Lincoln “Tiger” Smith must also be mentioned as rating very high. Among the girls’ sports “Franny” Hyland was captain of a successful field hockey team, while “Pete” Mosher led the basketball squad. The Masque and Wig Society presented “The Stars May Change”, a mo- dern play never before given in Melrose. Conspicuous in the production were John Knoblock, Marion Woodland, Jean Wilkinson, and Stanwoad Stack. A short time later the operetta, “Look Who’s Here”, with the popular Mr. Whalen directing and supported by an excellent cast including Dorothy Holman, j 5 8 Phyllis Bryant, Charles Thompson, and Robert Brooks, filled the auditorium to capacity for two nights. The Hi-Y Club completed a successful season with Bob Moore as president. A paper called the “Hi-Lights of the Week”, which met with great approval by some, was published. In the Girls’ Club Miriam Chandler was the president for the senior year, while the Euclidean Society .chose Jean Wilkinson and the French Club Phyllis Lerner for their highest officers. After the Christmas vacation the class selected an efficient staff headed by George Kimball and under the direction of Mr. Battles to compile the “Log”, a task requiring ability and skill. Those individuals who utilized to the greatest extent the opportunities of- fered by the school were granted honor parts for graduation. Luella Davis was awarded the Valedictory, Pauline Lantz, the Salutatory, and Jean Wilkinson, the Essay. We look back with pride on the accomplishments of our class during the past four years. We have striven to build a foundation which will carry us to new and greater fields of endeavor. And to quote: ‘‘If the foundations are laid — deep and strong — the building of life may be reared to dizzy heights. But the foundation cannot be securely laid in later life. Youth is the time”. 59 STATISTICS Donald Hausl Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen. This is station W’MHS the voice from the High School, broadcasting to all you fond, mothers, fathers, relatives and friends of the class of 1936, the result of our four year amateur contest. While all my classmates are wondering who the lucky winners are, I’ll give you some of the general facts concerning this most illustrious class. The average person is 18 years and 2 months old, stands 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighs 132 pounds, and wears size 7 ' - ' shoes. The whole class weighs 33,696 pounds and would make a column 1,421 feet and 3 inches high. And now I shall spin the wheel of fortune. Round and round she goes, and where, she stops you’ll soon know. First we have the result of our popularity contest. Our most popular girl and boy — Marie Manzer and Charlie Thompson. Will you two please, stand? Thank you. Just a minute, Marie. Marie is also our best natured girl. Speak- ing of good nature, d people, where is our best natured boy? Oh, there you are, Allan. Will you rise, please? Don’t sit yet Mr. MacDonald. This is the winner of our originality contest and the person who carried off the honor of being most fastidious. Allan has shown his Scotch Ancestry by wearing plaids of all “shorts” — pardon me, I mean sorts. All right, all right, you can’t win any more, Allan. Of course, we had many beautiful ladies and handsome men try for our beauty award and it is now my pleasure to present the winners — Ebba Larson and Robert Moore. Bob is certainly keeping up the family tradition as his father had a similar honor. Will Marion Locke and John Hess please stand? These two people swung themselves into victory at our recent dance marathon and thus became our best dancers. It’s too bad that the class’s favorite orchestra, “The Casa Loma Band” isn’t here so that they could show us a few steps. All of you must have seen “The Stars May Change” and you will certainly remember the talented acting done by Marion Woodland and John Knoblock. Will you two please rise? They were voted the best actress and actor. On learn- ing this I looked up their records to see if they were professionals. However, I learned that they were still amateurs so 1 can give them the gong as I have the others. While talking about the last two, I believe 1 heard a bit of humming. No doubt, Dorothy Holman, our class songstress, (please stand, Dot ) was entertain- ing those around her. You, in the audience, would probably rather hear Dot than me, but I have the floor now so Dot hasn’t a chance. At our athletic contest the other day two of our class members proved them- selves outstanding. They are Frannie Hyland and Gil Priestly. Would you two mind stretching your limbs and giving tbe audience a glimpse of our two most athletic people? All right that’s all. Pat Legg, will you please stand ? I thought you were the cause of that un- easiness among the girls around you. Pat is our class flirt, you know, and she must have been practicing some of her art on the boys near her. You’ll notice Pat is a brunette which is the favorite complexion this year. Tust so the girls won’t feel neglected. I’ll call on the person voted as class “Ladles Man”. Mr. heeler, would you mind tearing yourself away from your friends to give the girls a treat? Thank you, Elliot. It might be interesting for you folks to know that the class voted swimming as the favorite sport ; Beechnut as the best liked chewing gum ; history as the fa- vorite study ; rose, the class flower ; and blue as the favorite color. And now as the surprise of the program — the favorite drink — that clear, transparent, indis- pensable fluid which one may have by turning a faucet — water. Now let me introduce our class man hater and class woman heater. Erna Gysi and Phil Fogg. Will you please rise. Thank you. You probably wondered why Phil sat so quickly. Well he is the class’s most bashful boy. Won’t you take another bow, Phil? Don’t worry, the people won’t bite. That’s fine. In case you parents wonder when we study, I’ll ease your consciences by tell- ing you we do that in our spare time. We do have several studious people. The person who won the scholastic contest was Luella Davis. ill you stand please, Luella, and show the people out front that you can study hard and still be none the worse for it. That’s fine, Luella. While on the subject of brilliant people, let me introduce the class genius. Will Ralph Armington please stop thinking about some new fangled idea long enough to stand? All right Ralph, you can go on discovering facts about perpet- ual motion. I’ll disturb you no more. As a favorite recreation, the class voted for dancing. However, some mem- bers prefer the movies. The two who go the most are Mary Xazzario and Don Bailey. Won’t you stand ? That’s fine. If you ever want to find them, just look in the nearest theatre and there they’ll be. Will Lincoln Smith and Francis Sullivan please untangle their legs and rise? Link has, for the past four years, bluffed his way through this beautiful edi- fice to gain the distinction of being the most successful bluffer. Sully has not had a very good line to hand out so he is known as the least successful bluffer. I guess you’d better take a few lessons from Link and learn how to make people fall for your chatter. By the way, can all of you people see that vivid crimson which has risen on the visible portion of Sully’s face? Well that same reddish tinge won him the award of being class blusher. Can’t you make it a little redder, Sully? Ah, that’s great. Well, you can sit down now. I believe I heard some one laugh at you, Sully. Let me see. Yes, I knew it was our class giggler Ernestine Gustin, will vou please stand, if you aren’t laugh- ing too hard? Ernestine has another title to add to her name. She was also crowned as the most easily excited. If you have any news to tell her, break it gently or the excitement and giggling may get the best of you. Thank you too much, Ernestine. You’ve all heard of people who talk about the fish that was so long but he got away. We have a fellow like that in this class. Will you stand, Herb Halli- day? Before you start spinning some tall story, I’d better give you the gong. All right, All right. There is also another sort of exaggerator in this class. He’s a fellow who says he’ll meet you at 3 o’clock and comes around at 3 145 . Adolph P. Ferraro, (P is not for punctual) would you mind doing something on time and getting up 161 now? W ell, well, miracles never cease. I hope you feel well. You may sit now Among these beaming people is one who is a poet. Now. Ruth’s the girl who makes the rhymes, She can write poems any time. Ruth’s last name is Alger but it was beyond me to put it into verse so I de- cided to tell it to you this way. Will you stand, please, and let the audience get a glimpse of a real poet? Thank you. If you have noticed any foolish things going on up here (excluding what I ' m doing) it was probably Bob Brooks doing one of his stunts which have earned him the title of class clown. Will you kindly let the audience view your laughing countenance? Red’’ is also known as the class “wit”; so if you are in the mar- ket for witty remarks, get in touch with him at Murray Hill 8-9933 (Don’t be surprised if you get the wrong number). That’s all for you, Bob. In contrast to Bob we have two people who won awards as the most digni- fied and most composed. If it’s not beneath your dignity will you, Marjorie Simpson, and you, Madeline Sullivan please rise. Miss Simps n is the dignified one and Miss Sullivan the composed one. I thank you. In this class we have several people who go around together but Franny Hyland and Pete Mosher seem to have won the contest for class pals. Come, come, rise and let everyone see you. Thanks, that will be all. Let me see if I’ve overlooked anyone. I don ' t believe I- -well, well, I have forgotten one very shy member of the class. Betsy Lowell, will you please come out of hiding and stand. Between your being so good and so shy I almost over- looked you. Betsy won the contest as the class saint and the most bashful. I’ll let you sit down now, Betsy, and thank you. It seems that the wheel of fortune has spun its course and I had best be on my way before some one of you come up here and give me the gong. (I’m sorry to disappoint anyone who would like to for I am going to take it myself). Thank you. PROPHECY Robert Moore We are now aboard the S. S. MELROSE, that super boat which has far surpassed all previous records of ship construction both in design and appoint- ments, as well as speed and efficient shipbuilding. The reason for this is that Paul Vaitses and George Kimball were the master designers, and it is a pro- duct of that justly famous shipbuilding firm of Eaton Wilson. 1 should mention that very efficient Captain Albert Moore, and his very able second in command Van Morris. These boys certainly rapidly and steadily ascended the ship ladder from tug boat to the leviathan of the seas. However, to appreciate fully some of the reasons for the large passenger list we must look at the rest of the crew. There is Frank Leighton, Chief Engineer, John Malm, Navigating Officer. Herbert Halliday, Staff Captain, and Robert Schofield, Deck Officer. Along with this complement of navigating officers, is the crew whose main job is to entertain the passengers. Good looking is the word: Bob Bleyle, Francis Sullivan, Charlie Vocca, Dick Parant, Vernon Fletcher, and Milford Smith, are the men with the soft jobs. It being early afternoon we have sufficient time to take a stroll about the boat to see some of the sights. The first thing that strikes our eyes is the large number of people who seem to find pleasure in looking at the fish. There are a few people whom we well remember in their school days. There is Don Tav ener, that eminent stock broker, looking rather unhealthy, this fine afternoon, as he holds onto the rail, with Bud Garvey, his colleague in the business. Along side of them are Lois Randlett and Gloria Muller, who are taking their va- cation cruise after a long hard Winter of making money “landing the big fish” of the stock market. Let us make the rounds of the deck where we are apt to see almost anyone. There appear to be a number of important men who are taking trips before be- ginning work again in the Fall; among them Burton Whipple, President of the Commercial Bank of Melrose, doing an international banking and investment business, with George Palmer, Gordon Lowe, and George MacMonagle, who are associates of his on the Investment Board. There is also James Richdale, representing the international oil interests, the main operating office of which is now located in Melrose. Looking across the deck we see a number of artists, some with their can- vases, painting the beautiful ocean. There is Barbara Stark doing well with her brush, and Marjorie Wigton, who is setting up her stand to make a few sketches of the boat and scenery, and also Barbara Gallant, Barbara Hoyt, and Woodrow Jones, all on their way over to the Art Colony in Paris, supposed- ly to study art. We continue on to the sports deck. Here is where at some convenient hour of the day we will be sure to meet most of the people who are on the voyage. Dick Bullens is coaching some of the passengers on the proper method of ap- proaching that elusive tennis ball. Bob Allard, the movie actor, and Art Bird- sall, the movie director, Ethel Mosher and Francis Hyland, also of Holly- wood, are playing a set of mixed doubles. Over a little farther we see the shuffle board where some of the former athletes are keeping in trim. Richard Knight. Western rancher, Gilbert Priestly, the football coach at Melrose University, 163 Thomas MacDougal, baseball coach, and George Sterling, Tom MacDougal’s assistant coach, are playing doubles, and it is a hotly contested game. While we are in an athletic frame of mind, let’s go down to the elaborate swimming pool, where Don DeLuca is the swimming instructor. At the present time we see in the pool, Rosemary Lyons, Swimming Instructor at the Boston V. W . C. A., Patricia Legg, Marjorie Simpson, Margaret Williams, and Louise Kelley of whom the last four are very successful private secretaries. As con mav well imagine, these young ladies are not alone in the pool. There is also Paul Barter, on whom the American hopes for the Olympic running events are based, Roger Knapp, better known as “Muscles”, the American Decathlon cham- pion, Cortland Bryant, javalin hurler, and John Davidson, another member of the Olympic team. These men are all going over to Europe to train for the Olympics. While passing a window of one of the conference rooms, we hear consider- able noise due to argument. Not being able to resist the temptation to look in to discover the cause, we do so. It is a group of politicians, and their campaign managers. There we see Charles Thompson, Governor of Massachusetts, ar- guing his plan of campaign for the coming election in his contest with John Dic- kinson. ' his argument is with his campaign manager, John Hess. In this discussion Ellsworth Lutts, Lieutenant Governor also has much to sav about the coming campaign, and Warren Davison, the Mayor of our fair City, seems to have a great deal to say also. We are now again on deck. Seeing some of the people with their eyes scan- ning the sky, we follow their example. It is a modern noiseless airplane, that at- tracts them and it seems to be landing. But where? — DUCK; it’s going to land on the boat. Oh, I should remind you there is a deck on which planes land and take-off. Let’s see, who’s getting off? Why, it seems to be Philip Calder, the American ambassador to England, accompanied by his secretary, Ross Getty. The pilot and co-pilot are Philip Wallace, and Jerry Waystack. Let us buy one of the ship newspapers. When we look at the editorial staff, we are not surprised to see the Editor-in-chief is Frank W oodward, and Assist- ant Editor is Philip Fogg. Contrary to general definition any issue “be-Fogg-ed” is made very clear. Looking at the society page, we see an article written by Allan MacDonald, the star reporter. This page tells us of the activities of Mrs. Elliot Wheeler, nee Marion W oodland, and Miss Ebba Larson. These two seem to head the society of Melrose, Massachusetts. There is an article written In Spencer Campbell, on the subject of Modern Speed. We see Dick Moore and Phil McFadden’s names as the fastest automobilists in the world. Next to his name we note that of Russ Dearborn, who has just broken the world record for speed in an airplane. Bill Rilf.y also appears as one who has broken so many records with sea-sleds and speed boats. There is an interesting article in the paper announcing the formation ot a new firm of international lawyers, C hampa, Guertin , Lewisson, Horne and Love Who would have thought that these men would be lawyers? — Everyone! For let the Champ, Gui.rtin, or Lewisson, Horne in on any case, and you will Love the verdict. As we swing down the corridor, we come to the ship’s hospital, where there seems to be an emergency operation being performed. The doctor in charge is Elliot Wheeler, but he has world famous assistants also. There is Dr. Scenna, I)r Niles, 1)r Sibley, and I)r. Paul. All of these men are the very best in 164 their particular line. However, no operation can be truly successful without nurses. For nurses there are Janice Carpenter. Marion Loc ke. Thelma Swain, Marie Brock, Caroline Hittl, and Virginia Lynde. A patient seems to be pretty well treated here. 1 have heard that they give a show each night on the boat. Do let’s see if we can secure a good seat. Here we are — now what have we on the program? The music comes to us from Forest Tilton’s orchestra, who has usurped the place in the sun which was occupied in our school (days by Benny Goodman. They really are marvelous. You talk about your rhythm — here it is. The band is com- posed of Elmer Smith, Elmer George, better known as “The Saxaphone King ’ Joe Flynn, Ken Sears, and Don Hause, the Trombone Artist. The offering this evening is “Look Who’s Coming’’ written bv Bayard Holland,, and New- ton Jones. The stars of the show seem to be Marie Manzer, Beth Brun- ning and Jackie Gaynor, giving their dance specialties. Jean Wilkin- son is the Mistress of Ceremonies. Bob Brooks is down for a number with Dotty Holman, along the singing line, and it certainly ought to be good, even if it isn’t “in the rain”. I should mention that this show is made up for the bene- fit of the Seamen’s Society, each of the performers being eminent artists devoting their efforts as a courtesy on this voyage. If you look real hard you will see Mrs. Ellen Rhodes Jones sitting there in the first row admiring her husband’s effort as it is produced here. Tn attending this performance we seem to have missed the Style Show where the leading firms and stylists show ' their latest and greatest creations. Guest ar- tists showing the gowns are Sylvia Howe, Pauline Lantz, and Ruth Berthel Altogether we have now covered about all the sections of the new super- ship and have touched about all the high points. If we have missed any of our old school friends, we surely can find them on the passenger list; for it is certain that “All who sail, sail with the MELROSE”. 165 PRESENTATIONS Marie Manzer (Iiutcr dressed as a Dutch flower vender) 1 come from a land that is far away From miles across the sea, From the land of dikes and windmills Beside the Zuider Zee. When summer comes and the flowers bloom, 1 find a sunny square And vend my blossoms, sweet and fresh. To the people passing there.

Lantz Tonight, in behalf of the class of 1936, 1 take pleasure in extending a most cordial welcome to our mothers and fathers, to Mr. Sprague and teachers, to Mr. Stuart and members of the School Committee. You have assembled here this eve- ning to assist us in celebrating the most important event in our high-school career. I ' he friendships we have made, the knowledge we have acquired, the ideals we have formed will never be forgotten. Nor will we ever forget the sac- rifices made for us by those who love us. The foundation of our future has been in the making during the past four years. It has been deepened and strengthened by the willing efforts and helpful stimulation of our principal and teachers. But, above all, our lives have been en- riched and ennobled by the loving svmpathy and understanding of you, dear par- ents. We are truly glad that you can be with us to enjoy these farewell exer- cises. Our Ancient Heritage W e live in a scientific age. We no longer experience the fears of our fore- fathers. We have no dread of evil spirits or of ghosts. Mother Nature’s strange antics do not instill any great fear in us. An eclipse of the sun does not make us seek refuge from the wrath of the gods. Oracles play no part in our lives. Wan- dering gypsies who claim to unfold the future only amuse us. Omens and signs do not affect our lives. Crops are not planted by the moon in the hope that the crop will grow as the moon does. Neither are gardens weeded at the full of the moon so that the weeds will shrink as the moon does. Man has progressed too far in science to believe in these superstitions. He accepts no truth without ample proof. Science has shattered the beliefs of yesterday by exalting reason above imagination. There is, however, one phase of our lives that science has not been able to penetrate. That is man’s persistence in clinging to ceremony. Man is so made that he requires stimulation of mind and spirit. Religion and nature open a chan- nel for this needed stimulation. Long ago the gods were honored by festivity and celebration. With the coming of the Christian era, Christ and the saints were honored by ceremonies which were based upon the rituals of the pagan culture, many of which were based, in turn, upon the seasonal changes of nature. These changes of the season have a great effect upon the moods of man. With each new season there is always some form of festivity to give joyous wel- come. Winter is made merry by Christmas; spring is brightened by Easter; summer is welcomed by May Day; and the harvest season is celebrated by Hal- loween. Originally these were all religious festivals marked by ceremonies and customs appropriate to the seasons in which they occurred. That many of these customs have survived is testimony of the extent to which, even in an age of science, the ancient, primitive union between nature and religion still has power to stir men ' s hearts and impart grace and beauty to their daily lives. The first of these ancient heritages is the feast of Christmas which marks the beginning of the winter festival today just as it did for ancient man. There are many customs to which we adhere today that are survivals of the early ages. The Christmas carols which are sung universally today were originated in 176 England and first sung by the bishops. Once the Russians sang the Kolyada songs to pagan gods, but now they are sung about the streets to Christian saints. The Noel songs of France and the German Kristlieder are heard wherever there chances to be Christmas music. Here in our country the Christmas carols carry the message of Christmas throughout the land. The holly and the mistletoe are the most popular decorations. Centuries ago the Druids regarded the mistletoe with the greatest reverence. A golden knife vas used to cut this sacred symbol, which was hung over their doors to gain the affections of the woodland spirits. No such ceremony is connected with our de- corations, but our homes as well as the surrounding grounds are extensively de- corated. That only happiness may pass under the mistletoe accounts for the cus- tom of kissing girls, whether old or young, when caught standing under it. Many countries claim the honor of being the originator of the Christmas tree. Germany offers two legends. One is that Martin Luther, endeavoring to explain to his wife and children the beauty of a snow-covered forest in the star- light, cut a small fir tree and after bringing it into the nursery, placed upon it lighted candles. The other is that St. W’infrid hewed down a giant oak which had been used by the Druids in their worship. When it was but half hewn, a mighty wind caused the tree to crash to the ground. The only thing left standing was a small fir. St. Winfrid decreed the tree to be that of the Christ Child. Other countries claim some contribution to the origin of the Christmas tree, but Germany’s development is most outstanding. The decorating of the fir tree and the spreading of gifts came from Germany. The tree was not established in England until the marriage of Queen Victoria to the German prince, although it had been known earlier. The Christmas tree was brought to America by German emigrants. Santa Claus first came down the chimney in England. It was the Dutch set- tlers, however, who brought him to America. Jt was in Amsterdam that the chil- dren first placed their little wooden shoes in the chimney corners to await the coming of St. Nicholas. Unless each child was tucked in bed and fast asleep. Sleipner would carry St. Nicholas past his door. This fable, no doubt, was created by some parent for his own convenience. In England and the United States stock- ings are hung up. It is quite true that shoes will not stretch, but stockings will to make more room for goodies. Just as Christmas welcomes winter, Easter announces the arrival of spring. We honor the Resurrection of Christ. The name itself, however, has been at- tributed to a Saxon Goddess who was worshipped at the period which is now our Easter. The Easter egg is an emblem of a beginning of life. The ancient people be- lieved the secret of life to be within the egg. Recause Easter was the time of the solar new year when all things were renewed, the egg was regarded as emblem- atic of this period. The Christians associated the egg with the Resurrection. It was the light of a tomb from which future life came. The ancient Jews colored their eggs after having boiled them hard, the purpose of coloring the eggs being to imitate the new colors of the earth. The red egg is a symbol of the blood of Christ. The custom of rolling eggs down the green at the White House today is a survival of the old English custom of rolling down Greenwich Hill at Easter to show happiness because of the return of spring. This custom was abandoned for the rolling of eggs, which the children of today still practice. Easter and Christmas live on because they are closely associated with our re- 177 ligion. Max Dav is celebrated not because of its religious significance, but because it occurs in connection with one of the most pleasing aspects of the seasonal cycle of nature. “April showers bring Mayflowers”. And Mayflowers are the first signs of summer. Even today spirits are made lighter with the coming of warm weather and celebration is in order. It is said that May Day originated from the worship o ' the god Bel by the Druids. The occasion was celebrated with song and dance to welcome the returning spring. It was believed that there were bat- tles on this day between summer and winter to determine the victor. On May Day there was always a mock battle of this event. Two men would represent the seasons and enter into combat. Of course, summer always won. The victor was crowned king and decorated with mayflowers and green boughs. Later on, trees were decorated as symbols of victory. One tree was decorated with ribbons and flowers, and the people gaily danced around it singing old folk-songs. Soon a pole replaced the tree. Long streamers of ribbon were attached to the top and woven about the pole as the people danced. The May Day festivities are carried on by children today. Very few grown folks take part in this celebration, but it will live on because it pleases the hearts of the young. Mounds of round, orange pumpkins and barrels of rosy, red apples announce autumn. It was the ancient Druids who started the celebration of Halloween on October 31 and continued to celebrate it through the next day. It was on this night that Saman, lord of death, called together the condemned souls of the past year. These souls were put into the bodies of animals. At first this festival was confined to the church, but it appealed greatly to the peasants, who applied to it their weird superstitions. It was not long before there was a general belief that ghosts and spirits walked on this night. Huge bonfires were built to keep away wandering souls. The peasants gathered around these fires and told hair-raising tales. To take their attention from their fears, they feasted. The food which had been stored for winter needs was brought forth, and the feasting began. Although ghosts and spirits have long been relegated to the land of myth and fable, the young of every generation find such enjoyment in performing deeds of a ghostly nature that the beliefs of an earlier day enjoy a brief resurrec- tion through the celebration of this autumn festival. How dull life would be if it were not enlivened by such festivities! May the day never come when science will strip from nature the last of its mysterious xeils and rob mankind of its most priceless racial heritages. Not that we fear that such a day will ever come. For “thanks to the human heart by which we lire” never will man forget his kinship with the earth which nourishes him and his dependence upon the power which brought him into being. .78 ESSAY O TEMPORA ! O MORES ! Jean Wilkinson The decadence of the modern generation has been a favorite topic of lament since time immemorial. Even as far back as 63 B. C. Marcus Cicero, the great Roman orator, wailed, “O Temporal O Mores!” ‘‘What a day! What an age!” and ever since, each succeeding generation has shaken its venerable head in de- spair as it regarded the antics of its offspring. The fact is that youth itself has nothing whatsoever to do with its behavior. The present generation is the pro- duct of forces that have been combining in ages past. Our era is but one step further in the evolutionary process, and the behavior of the present generation differs from that of the older one because it was born into an environment made .different by the preceding ages. Most of the complaints today are about the deficiencies of youth — lack of social graces, lack of respect for elders, lack of ambition ; but these deficiencies can be attributed to the fact that the older generation fails to recognize the change that inevitably takes place in the generation that follows it. With the coming of a new age, there comes, too. a new environment. It is this change in environment peculiar only to the age that introduced it, which is responsible for the differences arising between one generation and the others. The older gener- ation which was brought up in its own environment does not ascribe the new ideas of the younger generation to the new environment, and it is sometimes un- willing to understand or absorb the new ideas introduced by the moderns, and thus the barrier arises between our generation and the generation preceding ours. The great objection to the style of dancing of our modern generation can al- so be attributed to the unwillingness of our elders to accept new ideas. When the world began to waltz and two-step after centuries of arm’s-length minuets, the same consternation arose as to the moral principles of the age. As time passed, criticism became less hostile and the new method of dancing became uni- versal. We are now on the threshold of a new interpretation of the dance, and although cause for dismay again arises, we can be sure that this new trend will eventually adapt itself to our ideas of correct form. One controversy today in which we look back only two generations is that of dress. “You young moderns,” grandma sighs — but it is not just “we young moderns” ; it is the turn of the era. Grandma could not have swum the English channel with parasol and high laced boots — accessories quite necessary to her bathing attire then. She won no tennis matches in flowing skirts, nor did she win pennants on the baseball diamond. She could not have arranged her hoopskirts in the rumble seat of an automobile, nor in the cockpit of an airplane. The ris- ing popularity of sports has forced the modern woman to adopt styles of dress that will afford her greater ease and freedom of action. Even as late as 1929 we were made the victims of the age. At that time, as you will remember, women’s skirts were knee-length ; came the depression, and fashion experts of Paris in col- laboration with leading textile manufacturers, decided that the textile business would flourish if only a wider use would be found for textiles — and thus we were introduced to long skirts. The shorter skirts of 1928, in turn, were a result of the scarcity of materials and the great rise in prices following the World War. So you see the style of women’s dresses is sometimes not so much determined bv the caprice of fashion as by the economic situation of the times. 79 Young folks today are realists, not romanticists; they look at things as they are, not as we would like them to be, and as a result social relations have become much more informal. A polite “Hello”, or sometimes a simple “Hi” suffices to- dav. whereas not so long ago it was the custom to bow deeply, with much doffing of hats; quite gallant, indeed, but hardly natural. With the speed of the age and the tendency toward more intimate relationships between parents and children, voung folks today do not feel the need of such formalities towards their elders. There has been a strong inclination to drop many of the little social niceties which, although appropriate to the slow and deliberate tempo of the atmosphere of grandma’s day are too time-consuming for the more lively rhythms of our age. lust as today’s machines have been stripped of superfluous parts to secure greater efficiency and velocity, so, too, are our manners becoming “stream-lined”, as un- necessary ceremonies in social situations are being omitted. The keynote of education today is self-expression. If our elders complain of the attitude of disrespect of the rising generation, they must revert to the school system for the reason. Where children were once taught to be seen and not heard, advanced methods of education have set forth the theory that in order to become leaders, children must be both seen and heard. They must be given the opportunity to debate freely, to give rein to their own feelings, and are defin- itely instructed in this art. Nowadays psychologists say that if a child’s impulses are suppressed, he is likely to suffer physical as well as mental harm. He be- comes nervous and often his whole emotional life is morbidly affected. So if we seem to speak too freely and candidly, it is because we have been encouraged to do so. And finally comes that well-known complaint of our lack of ambition. This fault, too, is an indirect result of our school education; for so much is done for us in the way of supplementary assistance that many have come to take such out- side help as a matter of course. When Lincoln was a boy, they thrust a hook in- to his hands and said. “Read ; and he read. Today every conceivable conven- ience is placed at our disposal ; excellent libraries, a co-operative school system, and, above all, more competent instructors make the process of learning much easier. Our mechanical age has given us so many labor-saving devices that these alone may account for our seeming idleness. Hut let us rather rejoice in this epoch in which we live, an epoch unsurpassed in medical, scientific, and mechanical improvements and unlimited in the oppor- tunities which it offers its new generation. For we are the ones in whom the hopes of future generations are intrusted; and just as our ancestors pioneered to make the road easier for us, so do we hope to break new ground for those who follow on. And let all of today’s Jeremiahs rather join in modern youth’s more optimistic conception of “O Temporal O Mores!”, “What a day! W hat an age!” 180 VALEDICTORY THE MAKING OF BOOKS Luella Gf.rtrudi: Davis “Of making books there is no end , complained the Preacher in the Bible. If he was appalled by the number of hand-made books then in existence, what would he think of the thousands of books now printed daily by huge machines? We who live in an age vitally dependent upon books can scarcely conceive of a time when they were the privilege of a few, and were at best crude and difficult to read. But there was such a time, and development and improvements were slow. At first anything which would receive an impression w r as used to write upon, — a shell, a flat piece of wood, a smooth stone, bark from a tree, leather, or a plate of metal. Gradually, however, wooden or clay tablets, papyrus, parch- ment, vellum, and finally paper became the ordinary writing materials. In Babylonia, as early as tw ? o thousand years before Christ, clay tablets were used for historical or literary works, judicial acts, or official documents that were deposited in the archives. Holding a handful of baked clay still soft enough to take an impression, the scribe pressed on it with a stylus, making wedge-shaped marks, called cuneiform writing. The tablets were then placed in an oven and hardened into solid bricks. Although this kind of writing material had some in- conveniences, it had many advantages. Books of baked earth were heavy and difficult to hold, and the characters were not clearly defined against the yellow color of the clay. Fortunately, however, they were proof against the ravages of fire or water, and if broken, could be easily put together. In Assurbanipal’s library at Nineveh in the seventh century B. C., there were more than thirty thousand such tablets, methodically classified and arranged in several rooms, with detailed catalogues for convenient reference. Many of the works were continued from tablet to tablet to form a series, each bearing the first words of the text as its title. The account of creation, which begins with the phrase: “Formerly, that which is above was not yet called heaven” was entitled: “Formerly, that which is above”. No. i ; “Formerly, that which is above”, No. 2; and so on to the end. Although the Egyptians also wrote on clay tablets, papyrus was more com- mon, and documents have been found dating from 2000 B. C. Let us watch the papyrus maker as he goes about his work. First, by slicing the inner portion of this large reed, which grows profusely in the shallow ' waters of Egypt, he ob- tained a thin, delicate strip, later reenforcing it by placing on it, transversely, a similar strip. Several sheets, smoothed and bleached in the sun, were then glued together at the ends to make a scroll five to twelve inches wide and fifteen to forty feet long. hen the scribe had finished covering one side of the papyrus with letters written with a reed pen, dipped in ink made of lampblack and gum, he wound it around a stick with a knob on each end to facilitate turning; and at the top of the cylinder he pasted a slip of red vellum, bearing the name of the book and author. To make reading more enjoyable, the rolls were often per- fumed with cedar or other scent. In Egypt the books were kept in |ars, and in Rome they were placed in wooden boxes or parchment cases, open at the top Such easy access to the volumes was not overlooked by mice, and consequentlv the rolls suffered. Papyrus was unsuitable for permanent records because of its sensitiveness to dampness. Although in Rome and Greece books of papyrus de- 181 caved and crumbled away to nothingness in a few years, the dry climate of Egypt has preserved such records for ages. At first rolls were undivided into “books” or chapters as we know them, and as a result the volumes were very long and clumsy. In the third century the great librarian Callimachus of Alexandria used to say that a long roll was a big nuisance, hollowing his example, scholars of a later day divided the works of classical authors into the “books” with which we are familiar, each “book” being the portion of a work contained in a single roll. At first there was no punctua- tion or accentuation; in prose, no paragraphing or numbering of lines; and the words were not separated, but run together. In addition to papyrus, the Creeks and Romans also used writing tablets, es- pecially for letters, temporal ' } ' notices, and warrants and summonses issued by the courts. A tablet was a piece of hard wood covered with a thin layer or wax on which the writing was done with a sharp, pointed instrument called a stylus, with a knob on the other end for erasing. Several tablets could be joined to- gether with thongs like leaves of a book. Raisetl edges prevented the writing from being defaced. These tablets were so popular that they were still used for correspondence until well into the sixteenth century. Desiring for permanent records something more practical than either papy- rus or wax tablets, Eumenes II, king of Pergamus in the second century B. C., in- vented a w riting material made of skins, not tanned, but treated by another method, which left a hard surface, flexible and smooth, and easily written on. It was called “pergamena”, from which comes the word “parchment”. The general term, however, for the material made from the skins of a variety of smaller ani- mals is vellum. The Alexandrian codex, one of the oldest known copies of the Bible, is written on antelope skin. Paper was invented by the Chinese at an unknown but very early date, and was introduced into Europe by the Arabs about the tenth century A. D. It was made of linen or rags, but was not much used until the invention of printing, since it was less substantial than vellum for making manuscript books. Because it had some resemblance to papyrus, it was given the name of “paper”. Rate in the nineteenth century, a new writing material, made of wood or other flexible fibre, treated with chemicals and loaded with clay, was also named paper. The invention of vellum marks the beginning of the making of books as we know ' them, for since vellum could not easily be made into rolls, the sheets were folded and placed inside each other, like ordinary note paper of today. Then the sheets were sewed together at the crease to form a “quire”, and the quires w ' ere fastened together through holes in the margin. Later, however, strips of vellum were laid across the quires at right angles to the length and were held by stitches. This method is still used in making the best bindings. The fall of the Roman Empire annihilated the book trade, and for centuries the only makers of books were the monks in the monasteries. Scriptoria, special writing rooms, were maintained, and the monks devoted a lifetime to the copy- ing, illuminating, and binding of a book. The covers were of wood and leather, studded with knobs and bands, often of gold and silver, and closed with broad clasps. Irish manuscripts are the finest examples of such work, and the Book of Kells, written in the seventeenth century, represents the highest point of skill reached by any artist-scribes. It is a book of the Gospels, written in Latin on vellum, of unusual size and beauty. The leaves measure thirteen inches by nine, and the first few words of each Gospel are so lavishly decorated and the initial letters of such size that they occupy a whole page. Books in the Middle Ages were so costly that when they were placed public- ly on view, they were often secured by chains ; they were protected by special laws, solemnly bequeathed by will, and lent only to higher orders, who were com- pelled to deposit ample pledges for their return. King Alfred gave about 500 acres of land for one book. Books continued to be expensive until the practical invention of printing, which lowered the cost of production. As early as 50 B. C. the Chinese were using wooden blocks or clay tablets for printing, but Johannes Gutenberg is credited with the invention, in 1438, of the first movable printing press, with separate let- ters instead of whole pages carved from wood. The first printing presses were a development of the cheese or cider press common in all large mediaeval house- holds. an i needed little change to be adapted to the uses of typography. Since the time of the simple wooden hand press, numerous improvements have been made, until now we have hugh steel machines, which with scarcely any guidance from human hands, give us thousands of books for our enjoyment, enlightenment, study, and recreation. Parents and Friends of the Class of 1936: Over the portals of their homes and the gateways of their cities, the men of ancient Rome placed a symbol, the image of a human head with two faces, one looking to the east, the other to the west. He was Janus, the god of beginnings, emblem of the past and of the future, of arrivals and departures. Appropriately might he preside over our ceremony tonight, for we, too, stand at a point of de- parture, facing now regretfully the past and again somewhat fearfully the future. What we are leaving, we have known. We have been protected, guarded, cher- ished. Watchful guidance has been the anxious care of parents, friends and teachers. To you who have helped us to acquire the knowledge which the world demands of us, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. In this hour of our passage from one stage of life to another, we pause to say that what we are we owe to you, that although we can never repay the debt, we acknowledge it and most pro- foundly appreciate it. Classmates : The feeling that fills all our hearts at this last meeting of our class, it has fallen to my lot to express. We are conscious of the finality of this event. It puts an end to a long, close association with one another. Heretofore we have travelled tog ether, sharing the same misfortunes and the same joys. Now we must stand alone. Tonight marks the end of our dependency upon others and the beginning of the necessity for self-reliance. W hen the uncertainty of the future looms be- fore us and we hesitate to meet the world face to face, let us remember that the world looks to us for new courage, new strength, and new ideals to revive its tired spirit. Especially at this time, when the outlook of all nations is perplex- ing, on us rests the responsibility of helping to rebuild the world on foundations of proven value — foundations of truth, honor, loyalty, and trust. Let us, as a class, pledge ourselves to the upholding of these ideals, in order that the training received here, and the hopes of those who have tried to develop our talents and shape our characters, may have worthy fulfillment. With deep regret at the ' dose of our preparation for life, and with confident hope that it will not have been in vain, let us say to one another, with heartfelt sincerity, “Farewell” and “Goodbye”, giving to each word the fullest significance of its origin, “Fare thee well”, and “God be with you”. 183 TXlarrcn IRa Danttne Studio, ITnc.
