ELOISE BARBER Calvin Coolidge School. Red Cross (3) ; Drivers’ Club (3) ; Imprint (4) Eloise’s quiet and frank personality have won for her the highest esteem of all her many friends. Her cheery smile is always lurking about, flashing on and off, indicating a sunny disposition. When her eyes begin to twinkle, beware, for she loves to play pranks on everybody, teachers included. We know Eloise will continue to be “tops” throughout life. MARYALICE BARNES “Banjo II” “Suzabella” Roosevelt School. Girls’ Club (3, 4) A girl with a pleasing personality is Maryalice, who has maintained all A and B averages during her four years of High. “Banjo II” adores movies and does not abhor eating. Her nit-witty and facetious remarks cause much laughter and gaiety among her classmates. The Commercial Course has well prepared her to enter the business world. ROBERT BARRAR “Bob” “Ace” “Bud” Lincoln School. Hi-Y (3, 4) ; Cross Country (2, 3, 4) ; Speakers’ Bureau (4) ; Track (2) Bob is an enthusiastic and competent scholar whose many fine attributes have carried him far in the estimation of his classmates. He is well known throughout the school as a very good runner, having distinguished himself nobly on the cross country team. He’ll enter Business School next fall. HELEN L. BARWISE “Bar” Roosevelt School.

Perhaps it is because of her outstanding dependability that she has been a leader in every activity attempted. With so much to do we wonder how Helen can keep her good nature, but that, however, is one of her chief characteristics. Fair Helen is ambitious too. She is plan- ning to enter the Children’s Hospital. O9)

H. S., she dove into sports and became one of our star athletes. If anyone hears a shrill giggle along the corridors, he knows that “Bake” is not far away. She has made loads of friends and, we know, will continue to do so when she ventures in- to the business world. ALAN BALFOUR, Jr. “Al” “Junior” “Balfie” Roosevelt School. Track (1, 2); Cross Country (1, 2); Hi-Y (2, 3, 4) ; Vice-President (4) ; Bowling Team (4) This blushing young blondie entered M. H. S. in 1934.

He is planning on a career in business, and we are certain that his future will be a successful one. More power to you, “Al.” (18)

Keep up the good work “Connie” and we are sure you will reach your goal. FREDERICK BECKWITH “Becky” “Freddy” “Fred” Calvin Coolidge School “Freddy” entered Melrose High a bashful and timid freshman.

CHARLES BENEDICT “Charlie” “Boss” Roosevelt School. Track (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Cross Country (i» 3 4) Charlie entered M. H. S. in 1934 along with many other freshmen.

Charlie’s future is yet undecided but we know he will succeed in whatever he un- dertakes. (20)
