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

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

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
