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

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

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
