AMBYE “Dot” “Gerry” Crafts Club; Girls’ Club 4.

Dot is bound for a junior college to study art. MARCIA ANDERSON “Dopey” “Red” Calvin Coolidge School. Basbetball 1 ; Volleyball 1, 2. “Dopey” is our red-headed farmerette. Along with her success in raising chicks, she also has “raised” many new friends. Her red hair is a stop-sign for one to note her five feet of good humor and pleasing personality. During the summers and vacations, if you should chance to be rid- ing by in Maine, you could see her in the midst of young chicks or hunting. Yes “Dopey” — you’re a great friend to know ! ELEANOR F. ARNOLD “Michael” “Boss” Freshman Girls’ Club; Swimming 1, 2, 3; Bowling 2; Red Cross 1, 2, 3, 4. Shadows must have fallen on the sunny Philippines when Eleanor decided to tread the stately corridors of dear old Melrose High, and our school will not be the same after she leaves. Remember a flash of black, pure white, and red which came to our eye as she g’ave us a smile that made more than one heart become a supercharger. Eleanor plans to become an air-hostess after training at the Mass. Me- morial Hospital. 7

FRANCIS J. ASHLEY “Fran” “Jessie James” “Flash” Lincoln School. Football 2; Cross Country 1, 3; Basketball 1 ; Gymnastics 2, 3, 4. Fran came to us from the Lincoln School as a timid little boy who craved excitement and got it throughout his stay here.

BEVERLY B. BACALL “Bev” “Babe” Peabody High, Pittsburgh, Pa. Operetta 3 ; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Speakers’ Bureau 4. Tracing to its origin a laugh that practically bubbles over, you’re sure to find Bev surrounded by some of “the Breth- ren”. Although she has only been with us for a little more than two years, she’s unquestionably one of “the gang”. Plans forming seem to point toward Katherine Dell’s school where Bev hopes tO ' become a doctor’s secretary. Here’s to Lots of color and no corn from all the G. G s . CLARENCE W. BAIER “Bill” “B-7” Calvin Coolidge School. Football 1 ; Operetta 2; Hi-Y 3, 4; Speakers’ Bureau, 4; Tennis, 4. This jolly gentleman is none other than Bill Baier. It would be needless to describe his unusual personality, be- cause everyone knows Bill for what he is — -“the mosta of the besta”. Mr. Wilson is considering pickling some of Bill’s corniest jokes in formaldehyde, as a warning for fu- ture punsters. Indispensible to “The Brethren”, and in de- mand socially, “B-7” will be mourned by Melrose, for he intends to hibernate at Bowdoin for the next four years. 18
