MARION BENNETT “Mimi” Malden High School Mimi is a light-hearted girl who came to us from our neigh- boring city, Malden. She likes dancing, skating, and hockey games. After graduation in June, she plans to attend a business school. Best of luck in the future Mimi. WALTER W. BIRDSALL “Wally” “Birdie” Coolidge School. Hi-Y 2, 3, 4. Had Diogenes not been born years too soon, he might have found his man. For Walter combines the traits which would have satisfied that venerable sage with capability, conscientious- ness, and sincerity. His outside interests include the piano and the DeMolay, of which he is an officer and ardent supporter. Walter intends to become a teacher; so perhaps your children will learn their lessons under his tutelage. ROBERT B. BLACK “Bob” “Blackie” Coolidge School And who is this distinguished-looking fellow? Why, of course. Bob Black. Bob’s quiet but pleasing personality has made him very popular among his classmates. His main interests in- clude gun-collecting and fishing, with hunting and skiing as close seconds. Norwich University, Vermont, holds some charm for Bob, and it is there that he will take up civil engineering. BETTY A. BLISS “Blissful” Coolidge School. Freshman Girls’ Club; S. A. T. Staff 2, 3; Girls’ Club 3, 4. Betty is an unusual combination of beauty, brains, and good disposition. Football games, odd perfumes, and butterscotch pie hold top billing on her hit parade. Her ideas of entertaining us have kept us laughing since freshman days. KENNETH W. BOYD “Burd” “Ken” Roosevelt School. Football 1, 2. Burd, who is quiet in school, is packed with action in any sport. His favorite sport is boating, and some day he hopes to own a small boat of his own. At the present time he is learning the trade of book binding. Although he has no definite plans for the future, we wish him the best of success in whatever he undertakes. [ 21 ]

JOAN BATCHELDER “Joanie” Coolidge School; Freshman Girls’ Club; Brush and Pallette 3; Girls’ Club 3, 4. A witty bit of sarcasm, then, “Oh, well, better days are com- ing” — and Joan’s humorous side lights up. She can be dis- tinguished by her small pit-pat steps, her little pouch pocket- book, and of course, her favorite pastime of doodling. HELEN BEAUMONT Malden High Coming to Melrose in the Junior year from Malden High School, Helen found no trouble in quickly making a host of friends. Some people think she is quiet, but to those who know her better she is a bundle of fun and wit. She is fond of skating and dancing. Helen’s plans for the future are uncertain, but in whatever she does we all know she’ll be a success. JEAN MARIE BEELER “Jeannie” Roosevelt School.

Ken is the tall fellow with the smile. Once you get to know him, he will always be a friend. Ken likes to pass the time camping and being out-of-doors.

Sojtball 3, 4; Freshman Girls’ Club ; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Red Cross 2, 3, 4. When it comes to pep, vim and vigor, Faye certainly tops the list.

Watch him go; He skis like a pro. Success wi 11 be his all the w hile. ROBERT BRIGHAM “Bob” Roosevelt School. Imprint 2, 3, 4; Traci 4. This happy-go-lucky kid has been the chief writer of boys’ sports for the past two years. In fact, he is the main reason why it has been done so well. This is his favorite job because it brings him in close contact with most sports played in the school, and he likes all of them. The thing Bob likes to do best, though, is swim; and he does this plenty at Annisquam during the sum- mer. JEAN ELIZABETH BROWN “Jeannie” “Brownie” Coolidge School.
