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.

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

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.
