With his passing in 1952, the class lost a good student and a beloved friend. His genuine friendliness and good nature won for him many friends during the three years which he spent with us. Earl always had a quick smile and cheery word for all his classmates, making him an extremely popular member of the student body. Loving the out-of-doors and being a good sportsman, Earl became a member of our school football and basketball teams. His smile and pleasant personality seemed so often to reveal his happiness at just being with people of his own age and his eagerness for life itself. It was a privilege to have known him. We shall truly miss our dear friend, Earl Cate, and we shall remember him long after this, the time of our own graduation.

We cordially invite you to join us as we recall our past four years at Melrose High School. Four years . . . years of study and sport, of dreams and disappointments; each filling a cherished part of our lifelong memory. And so we extend our welcome to you, that you may enjoy with us a glimpse of our past and a glance into our future. 3y Judith Pazolt .History of the Class of 1953 By Judith Pazolt Time flies, so they say, and we of the Class of 1953 can certainly vouch for it. It seems that only yesterday we entered M. H. S. to begin our progress toward Graduation Day. Many of you parents sitting in the audi- ence can hardly believe that your sons and daughters will be graduating from high school tomorrow. So to prove to you that you are not dreaming, I will give you a very brief account of our four years at M. H. S. It all began in the morning of September 7, 1949, when 287 lowly, con- fused little freshmen supposedly found their ways to their respective class rooms. For the next two weeks general chaos reigned supreme. We took the wrong lunches, looked for non-existent elevators, and lived up to the reputation of the gullible freshmen. We soon got our bearings, though, and when class elections were held, we were allowed to elect two representa- tives to the Student Council. They were Eleanor Shorey and Tom Glennon, both of whom subsequently left M. H. S. During the freshman year, our acting abilities were displayed in the underclass dramatic organization, Cloak and Plume Society. Who can ever forget Bob Cathcart, Eleanor Faulkner, Frank Goodwin, and many other wonderful players in Elmer and the Soprano and The Florist Shop? In 1949 Mr. Poole became our principal, and Mr. Dixon our submaster. We are very proud to be the first graduating class with the entire four years of their leadership. Thus, our hectic freshman year was over and summer was upon us. We entered school again in the late summer days of September. Now, as Sophomores, our prestige was guaranteed. Tom Glennon, Bill Flood, Astrid Palm, and Eleanor Faulkner were elected to be our class officers. The Cloak and Plume Society staged two outstanding plays during our sophomore year. They were The Old Fady Shows Her Medals and Buddy Buys An Orchid. As in the previous year Bob Cathcart had a leading role and Pat Kane, Jim Noel, and Jane Bohman were added to our growing list of stars. Another major organization, our school paper, THE IMPRINT, added five sophomores to its staff. They were Carol Dixon, Nancy Goodwin, Ed Hall, Bette Jo Stowers, and Nancy Weeks. Our sophomore year went by so fast it practically evaporated; and before we knew it, we were entering through the side doors of M. H. S. as respected Juniors. The election results for the Junior Class Officrs showed Bill Flood as president; Dick Jones, vice president; Astrid Palm, secretary; and Eleanor Faulkner, treasurer. THE IMPRINT accepted four more juniors to its staff. They were Jane Bohman, Arthur James, Jack Lynch, and Judy Pazolt. In December the upperclass dramatic society, Masque and Wig, put on the Kaufman and Hart comedy, You Can ' t Take It With You. Fine per- formances were given by Frank Goodwin, Jane Bohman, Bob Cathcart, Pat Kane, and Ed Hall. Iolanthe, a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, was the Glee Club presenta- tion for our junior year. Starring in the role of Iolanthe was Martha Thorp, this year ' s Glee Club president. Early in the spring, Astrid Palm accepted the gavel from her graduating sister to become the president of Girls ' Club. Later on delegates were chosen to represent M. H. S. at Boys ' and Girls ' State for one week during the summer. Those delegates were Dick Jones, and Ed Hall to Boys ' State and Carol Dixon to Girls ' State. The blessed summer came and went, and with the fall we became seniors. Many of us considered this a doubtful honor as we climbed the four flights of stairs each morning. But now, we were the top men on the totem pole — we had the responsibility of setting a good example to the ' other students of the school. We opened our year by re-electing Bill Flood as president of our class, Astrid Palm as secretary, and Eleanor Faulkner as treasurer. The only new officer was Cliff Gunnery, who was elected to the post of vice president. In this history I have given no space to the sports department. I wanted to wait until the time rolled around to November 25, 1952 — Thanksgiving Day. Through lour years up to that day we had had a fair record in all sports. On that day of days our football team made sports history for M. H. S. by beating Arlington, our traditional Turkey-Day rival. It was the first game we had ever won on our seven-year old athletic field. To say that we were jubilant would be an understatement! Those who received their football letters were Bob Benard, Bob Burn- ham, Bill Dustin, Donald Hume, Dick Jones, Ronald Lancaster, Paul Lovejoy, John McCarthy, Paul Mowder, Robert Saulnier, David Stewart, and Allan Tobey. The letter men on the basketball team were Roger Bailey, Richard Fitz- gerald, Ralph Gridley, and Paul Mowder. A wonderful memory of our freshman year was when the hockey team won the New England States ' Championship. Our own hockey team has done quite well in the past two years, placing third and fourth respectively in the GBI League standings. Those who received letters on the hockey team were Frank Coburn, Alan Hoey, Allan Tobey, John Connolly, Bill Flood, Doug Poole, Larry Ryan, Francis Traill, and Dave Wilson. Also this year our cross-country team not only won the divisional and league championships, but also the state championship. Those who received their jackets were Dave Horan, Bob King, Dave Johnson, Mack Giovanni, Roger Bailey, Robert Hutchinson, and Ronald Han- son and Joe Reid, the co-captain. In the field of girls ' sports, Jean Bucci is noted as the most versatile athlete. Just as an example of her prowess, she was high scorer on the varsity basketball team with 92 points to her credit. The cheerleading squad included four seniors, plus the head cheer- leader, Judy Stiles. They were Astrid Palm, Lucinda Likens, Judy Tarr, and Eleanor Faulkner. On December 13 the curtain rose on the Masque and Wig play, Curtain Going up. As in previous years Jim Noel, Pat Kane, Bob Cathcart, Jane Bohman, and Frank Goodwin had major roles. This year ' s IMPRINT staff was headed by Jane Bohman, Editor-in-Chief with Ed Hall as Managing Editor, Bette Jo Stowers as Feature Editor, Carol Dixon as News Editor, Jack Lynch as Sports Editor, Nancy Weeks as Ex- change Editor, Mary Young as Art Editor, Jim Contis as Circulation Manager, Don Twitchell as Business Manager, and Richard Fitzgerald and Mack Giovanni as Advertising Managers. The Glee Club under the marvelous direction of Mr. Wendell Withington and Mr. Keith Phinney staged Victor Herbert ' s Sweethearts as this year ' s operetta. The professional performance of the group received widespread acclamation. Playing in leading roles were Heather Barnes, Jim Noel, Martha Thorp, Bob Cathcart, Beverly Nelson, and Ed Young. When we flip through the pages of our LOG in future years and dust off the memories of our high school days, let us not forget those who, by their hard and constant labor, assembled those memories in our yearbook. The LOG staff was made up of the ablest individuals in our class; and al- though the list is long, credit should be given to all of them. Heading the staff were Bette Jo Stowers, Editor-in-Chief; Jim Contis, Business Manager, and Martha Sherrin, Art Editor. The separate divisions include the Literary Staff, Business Staff, and the Art Staff. Members of the Literary Staff were John Connolly, Carol Dixon, Eleanor Faulkner, Nancy Goodwin, Sandra Jangro, and Doug Poole. The Business Staff included Earl Fulmer, Dick Jones, Bob King, Dolores LeSaffre, Larry Ryan, and Shirley Tibbetts. The Art Staff was composed of Jon Scarborough, Paul Newbury, Mary Young, Nancy Wildes, and Caroline Goodwin. Before I close, I should like to read a poem written by one of last year ' s seniors — it is appropriately called FOR SENIORS ONLY The time has come to say goodbye; To make like little clouds and cry, For graduation time is near, And in two weeks we won ' t be here So ere we go, let ' s reminisce And think of all the things we ' ll miss; The ' so-called nutshells ' and ' Here ' s the set-up ' Which we daily got without a let up and how about those funny tricks We used to pull down in 106? Where from day to day we watched, as we sat, The girls ' gym field and things like that. And then there was lunch, where we sat in a bunch, While tables around us were bare. We pushed and we squeezed, we coughed, and we wheezed, As we tried to find a place there. On the teacher on duty we sure pulled a beauty, With milk bottle turned upside down, Or left the table a mess to let the poor teacher guess Who did it — which sure made him frown. And who can forget those ' S ' period walks, Which for some, sometimes meant after-school ’talks. ' The late-to-class slips and other red tape The likes of which no one could ever escape Or that senior long theme or some book report Which everyone did — but not for the sport! Many bashful youth and blushing lasses ’Made hay ' as they walked to and from classes Or adorned the halls (before the 8:15 bell) to the teacher ' s disgust we could tell. Let us remember the fun we ' ve had So that anytime we are feeling sad We can think about something that happened here And by our laughter make our cares disappear. Statistics of the Class of 1953 By Eleanor Faulkner As any group leaves the scene of active duty there are always certain people who are outstanding and are given places of honor in their respect- ive halls of fame. This afternoon I invite you to join me in establishing particular members of the Class of ' 53 with their qualifications in Melrose High School ' s mystical Hall of Fame. First, in order to receive special honors in our illustrious group, you must quite closely resemble our Mr. or Miss Average Student. Our perfect specimen is 17 years old, 5 feet 6 V 2 inches tall, and weighs 1 35 V 2 pounds. If he hasn ' t been caught chewing spearmint gum thus being in session hall, you will probably find him scuffing down the hall in his 7 1 2 shoe toward the gym to his favorite game of basketball. Of course his books for home- work are under his arm. The heaviest one, and one which will receive the most use will be his Biology book; as its contents contains his favorite sub- ject. On weekends you will find our student dancing with a blonde com- panion. The girl will be wearing a blue dress and red roses. If you follow them to their favorite hangout afterwards; you will find them each consum- ing large cokes, their favorite beverage. The following extraordinary personages all resemble this model in some way. Our classmate who most nearly approaches perfection is our Best- Looking Girl, Priscilla Kennedy. She certainly will have many eyes focused on her in the Hall of Fame with her charming looks and personality. Her male companion presents qualifications for two honors. First will the Marlon Brando of ' 53 please stand. In case you don ' t know him it ' s our Best-Looking Boy, Frannie Traill. Incidentally, you might take particular notice of his nose; as the Imprint has in the past, voted to use this feature in establishing the Ideal Senior Boy. The qualifications for his next honor are center on the hockey team and shortstop on the baseball team. The Imprint has made such comments about his ambitions as, one of ' 52 ' s lead- ing hitters and the hitting of Frannie Traill was spectacular. He rightly deserves being voted the Most Athletic Boy. Treasurer of the Girls ' Athletic Association, high scorer with 92 points on the girls ' basketball team, four years of outstanding play and 1952 ' s star hitter on the girls ' softball team are the characteristics of our Most Athletic Girl. Let ' s meet this spectacular athlete, Jean Bucci. I said dancing was our favorie pastime, and the two that uphold that statement are our own Marge and Gower Champion, Priscilla Stephenson and Jimmy Kidd. Before proceeding further in our Hall of Fame, I want you to meet the Most, Popular members of our class. Our first celebrity was President of the Girls ' Club, Class and Student Council Secretary, and a cheerleader; to mention only a few of her accomplishments. I am of course speaking of Astrid Palm. Her companion is Billy Flood. He has been President of the Class and Student Council, Student Government Representative, and a prominent mem- ber of our hockey squad. Concerning the future, it appears that there is quite a bright one for the member of our class who has been Representative to Boys ' State, Presi- dent of Honor Society, received the Harvard Book Award, been co-captain of the Track Team, and passed the Naval R. O. T. C. We want to wish the best of luck to Dick Jones, voted the Boy Most Likely to Succeed. In the genius category Roger Appel ranks first. Our Class Genius was the person of highest rank in the Bausch and Lomb Science Exam. Delving deeper into this field we find a girl as our most studious mem- ber. Our valedictorian, Heather Barnes, with her all ’A average claims this honor. In our Hall of Fame we have a girl who always finds the bright side to everything. It ' s our Class Giggler, Irma Orall. Roses are red, Violets are blue. What would the Imprint, Have done without you? The girl who has written such poems for the Imprint as It ' s All Over Now, pertaining to our fabulous trip to Washington; “Vacation Blues, and National Problem — Or TV vs. Homework certainly deserves our nomina- tion of Class Poet. It ' s Bette Jo Stowers. In our midst we have a girl who has a definite affinity to red. She is the girl we voted Class Blusher, Sally Whitney. The talent of the Class of ' 53 is outstanding. Is his name Elmer, Mikel, Milt, or Buddy; and in what play is he making his latest appearance? Of course I am speaking of the President of Masque and Wig and the future comic actor of Broadway, Bob Cathcart. A girl who fancied herself a second Tallulah Bankhead in Curtain Going Up is our Class Actress. The title goes to Pat Kane. Always be happy and never wear a frown is the motto of Betty Fron- gillo and Alan Tobey. Our Best-Natured Boy and Girl have one of the greatest gifts, a perpetual pleasant smile. Drama is not the only field in which we show talent. If you like the sound of a trumpet, you will love to listen or dance to the music of Neil Sanders, the Class Swing Fan. His renditions of Stardust and Body and Soul will remain with us always. Who is our representative to the field of art in our Hall of Fame? Why of course, it ' s our Class Artist, Jon Scarborough. His qualifications may be seen in the art room and in the LOG. How many times have we heard, I won ' t go without Pat. This sen- tence could only have been spoken by Betty Frongillo. She and Pat Kinney are our Class Pals. Downhearted may be some of our girls ' theme song after Sheila Bevan has left the scene, for this vivacious girl is the Class Flirt. Who fits this quotation from First Impressions in the Imprint, Eyes, Clothes, Earrings, Current Events Club. It ' s Judy Pazolt, our Most Original Girl. Who is the flash seen running around the corner in a great hurry at 8:10 every morning? Who is that person who has come the closest but never quite heard the statement, Report to me every morning at 8:05 for a week. It ' s Dottie Hearne who is least often on time. You may find our next girl wearing a halo and probably not saying a word, for she is the saintly type. It ' s Jean Lord, the Class Saint. We seem to have two members, Charlotte Swan and Ed Fogarty, who shy away from the happy group. They certainly shouldn ' t, but I guess they are practicing the titles bestowed upon them, Most Bashful Girl and Boy. Recently these headlines appeared in the Imprint, $500,000 to be Spent Repairing the School, MHS is No More, and Happy Hopefuls Hope to Have High Hops on Hopscotch Team. These could have been composed by Elaine McCutcheon, our Class Exaggerator. Pat Scott has carried away the honors of being most dignified. Her calm composure, exquisite deportment and manners are qualities that every girl hopes to possess. As Eddie Cantor is getting along in years, he will need a successor. The Class of ' 53 has nominated Jimmy Noel. He can take Eddie ' s place among the girls, as he is Class Ladies ' Man. He has proven this in the operetta Sweethearts with his rendezvous with the six sisters. This operetta also gave him a chance to vocalize and prove his second title, Class Song- ster. All he needs now to equal Eddie is a little sense of humor. We know he possesses this, as he is also our Class Wit. We now see a boy with a downcast expression holding a white slip that requests him to report to a certain class for make-up. His suggestion and promise that he will report tomorrow night were of little favorable conse- quence to our Least Successful Bluffer, Ronnie O ' Brien. On the other hand his companion, Richard Merrifield, is wearing a big smile. These excuses worked for him, our Most Successful Bluffer. Who is the girl that everyone would like to push in the showers, whose hair would they like to disarrange, and whose polished shoes are a subject of ridicule. This fits the description of our Most Fastidious Girl, and I guess that ' s me, Eleanor Faulkner. So we come to the end of our list of outstanding celebrities. I hope you have enjoyed the Class of ' 53 ' s nominees to the MHS Hall of Fame. Prophecy of the Class of 1953 By Patricia Kane I really don ' t know exactly what happened, but I think it all started last night when I took my kitten for a walk. She (her name, by the way, is Michelina — but everyone calls her Mike) was very anxious to climb a tree and see the stars — or so she said. Well, she started up and I followed. We had just reached a rather thin-looking branch when — whooosssshh — we were carried off in a cloud of star dust and the next thing we knew we were walking down a glittering, white sidewalk. A sign on the lamp post said, Milky Way. I was just digesting this bit of information when who should dash by but MURIEL PYNE and DOTTIE HE ARNE carrying a large bucket marked Property of the Pyne-Hearne Star Laundering Service. We turned to call to them and bumped into PAUL HURLEY, DAVE HUTCHINSON, and RON LANCASTER, who looked simply marvelous in their uniforms of the Interstellar Police Force. They gave us directions as to how to get to the jet port. Upon arriving, I found the Trans- portation Manager DAVE GRIFFIN and Flight Co-ordinator RICHARD DODGE, very helpful in securing passage for us on the next outbound jet. We boarded this and discovered some very familiar faces among the pas- sengers — those three well-known fashion models, MARCIA HARRINGTON, LOUISE JENNEY, and MIMI MacDONALD; the founder of the Guild of Modern Artists, JON SCARBOROUGH, and the noted physicist, ROGER APPEL. Our pilot was CLIFF ROWELL, and NANCY GOODWIN and ELINORE KEPPE made sure we were comfortable. Our departure was held up for fifteen minutes while the President of the Milky Way, CAROL DIXON, and her secretary-companion, BEV CARTER, left for the Interplanetary Council. Our jet-rocket landed in the most beautiful city we had ever seen - but where were we? Our question was answered when the voice of JANET EDMONDS boomed over the loud speaker, As official greeter, I welcome you to Mars. Mike and I decided to take a jet cab — manufactured by the RICHARD FITZGERALD Co. of East Venus — driven by JACK PITMAN. On our way through the city we saw some very familiar names: BARB RITCHIE ' S School for Drum-majorettes, LARRY HOLMES and DAVE JOHN- SON, Only Dealers in White Bucks on Mars, H. HURWITZ, Importer of Fancy Goods. Then, way on the outskirts of town, we saw a building under construction and the following sign: Another Great New Convenience for Mars. A New High School Will Be Erected Here! Please Excuse the Inconvenience! RICHARD JONES — Governor JOHN BUSHEE — Commissioner of Public Works All Work Done by CATTLEY GOODRICH Construction Company KING HORAN Landscaping MARY YOUNG Interior Decorations ED ZINK Refrigerants for Ice Rink Just a short distance past this, there was a circus tent and I decided to stop — especially since it was DOUG ( Bring- ' em-back-alive ) POOLE ' S Interplanetary Circus, starring LARRY ASPLIND and FRED BUDUKIEWICZ, trapeze artists. CARYL ROTHERHAM — the gal who dives off a platform 200 feet in the air into a damp sponge. PETE SAWTELLE — Lion-tamer. ALEX ( The Human Bullet ) MacDONALD. MARY HARRIS and JEAN BUCCI — High-wire artists. The one-and-only bare-back ballerinas: PRISCILLA KENNEDY, PAT KINNEY, DOLORES LE SAFFRE, SANDRA JANGRO, and LORETTA FINN. Both Mike and I had a wonderful time, despite the fact that too much of HAYES Bros. Ice Cream made Mike a bit bilious. Luckily Dr. DAVID FORD was at the circus, and he gave her some of PHIL SULLIVAN ' S Super Snake Oil — Cures, man, child, and kitten! We missed our cab; so we took a bus back to the jet port. And who should be driving one of these sleek, new FULMER Line buses but MACK GIOVANNI, who told us that we had taken the wrong bus. His bus went to Lower Mars, not the jet port! However, if we hadn ' t taken that bus, we never should have seen PAT GAVAGAN, BETTY FRONGILLO, and CYNTHIA HUGHES, who run a Travel Service there. They arranged for Private Pilot ALAN KEITH to take us to Saturn ' s outer ring, where we could reboard our last jet. Our trip was an uneventful one except for the bellowing of a prize cow which was being sent to HERBERT FARNHAM ' S experimental farm there. Saturn ' s outer ring, we discovered, was almost completely devoted to research. It was there that Dr. MARY JANE LOWE perfected silent pop- corn and the ROBERT BENARD Fuel Co. runs a research lab there, under the direction of Dr. PAUL LOVEJOY. Once aboard our own jet, we dis- covered three new passengers, Miss JUDITH PAZOLT, Ambassador to the Green Indians; ED HALL and ED MELANSON, noted diplomats from Mer- cury. They were all going to the Interplanetary Council on Neptune. Neptune was a large, green, watery planet. Our only means of trans- portation was by gondola. I rented one from NEIL MacDONALD, and again Mike and I did some sightseeing. We saw the new university designed for President DOUG TAYLOR by Architect VIRGINIA HERMANN. The hockey team under Coaches WILLIAM FLOOD and LARRY RYAN has won every game it ever played. On the next canal, we saw the JEAN LORD Publishing House. It ' s two newest books, STORIES MY FATHER DIDN ' T TELL by DAVID WILSON, illustrations by NANCY WILDES: and the NEW NEP- TUNIAN VIRGIL, edited by SUE DAFFINEE, RALPH RYAN, and GINNY PYNE, are best sellers. Right next to this was La Mode Glamour Togs, a shop run by SHEILA BEVAN, LUCINDA LIKINS, and IRMA ORRALL. I saw something I should have liked to buy, but Mike decided that she was hungry, so we went across the canal to RUTH MINOTT ' S Deep Sea Inn. As I was a friend of the owner, Cashier SHIRLEY ELLIS and Manager PAUL MOWDER let me eat for free. Cook LOIS COURAGE prepared the best star salad I had ever eaten. At the next table were a group of very famous men, in- cluding DAVID E. STUART, the deep sea diver; JAMES CONTIS, the mink trapper; RALPH GRIDLEY, holder of the universe ' s record for the broad jump; the renowned explorer MERRITT SKIDMORE; and the well-known critic, RICHARD BELL. After we had eaten as much as we could, we finished our sightseeing tour. The last place we visited was the home of JANE FOSS — Neptune ' s most popular hostess, who was having a party in honor of the Olympic champions RONALD HANSON and ROG BAILEY. FRAN TRAILL, baseball ' s most valuable player; PAT SARRAU, the lovely tennis star; and SAL WHITNEY, Universal Women ' s Golf Champ. Among the guests were such notables as ELEANOR FAULKNER, voted the Universe ' s best-dressed woman; JANE BOHMAN, author of HOW TO SUCCED IN FOURTEEN AND ONE-HALF LESSONS; ASTRID PALM, head of the Interplanetary Social Coun- cil; FERNE HAYHURST, famous beauty expert; RICHARD MURRAY, the uranium prospector from Pluto; and PAUL NEWBURY, the well-known artist. Mike and I started back to the jet port, but we became engulfed in a monster gondola jam. In the next gondola were JEANNIE ALEXANDER, ANNE MILLER, JOANNE ANDERSON, and MARIE POWELL, who were anxious to get to a P. T. A. meeting. Traffic managers JOHN ROBINSON and ED BUTT soon got traffic going smoothly in a matter of seconds — - I hope the girls made it on time to the meeting! This time our departure was held up by engine trouble. We sat for two hours while ARNOLD BENNETT, DON HUME, BOB BURNHAM, JIMMY KIDD, and JAMES BOLAND went over the motor with fine-tooth wrenches. The next stop was Mercury. Our first visit was to The Mercury City Hospital (just to admire the murals by JUNE PACKARD). Receptionist BEV COLEMAN told us to go into the nurses ' lounge and see some of our friends. We did! and found, EVVIE CRAWFORD, BARB KELLEY, MAUREEN DAMI, BARB LEVISTON, JOYCE HERRICK, ELAINE KEPPE, and JUDY STILES busily playing 7-handed bridge, while Physical Therapists MARTHA SHERRIN and MARCIA BENNETT wove baskets for Medical Technician MART THORP. We visited awhile and left so laden with baskets that Mike almost collided with Interplanetary Dentist JACK LYNCH and his two assistants, PAT SCOTT and LAURA WALDEN. They relieved us of our baskets and told us how to find the Mercury Times office. The office was rather busy, City Editor ED FOGARTY told us; but reporters JUNE BENARD and BEV NELSON offered to show us around. Mike, however, preferred to snooze in Society Editor MARILYN EHLERT ' S out-going mail tray. First, we visited Sports Editor ALAN HOEY, who gave us some fascinating news. The Champion Marble Team of FRANK COBURN, LEONARD SASSO, DICK COLLIS, and BOB SAULNIER would meet all comers next Tuesday night. Classified Ads, run by ELEANOR GREENWALD and LOUISE PETERSON, provided us with some interesting reading; Lonely? Join the Let ' s-Get-Acquainted Club. President and General Manager, ED YOUNG. Girls, do you want to look lovelier? Use Gloop, the Wonder Creme, perfected by WARNER and WHITING. Tutoring done. For information see BRENDA DENNISON, MILLIE CUT- TER, CAROLYN GOODWIN, or JUDY TARR. We stopped in at the milk bar, where the radio was playing a new tune by the well-known composer NANCY WEEKS. The show which it was on turned out to be the SHIRLEY TIBBETS Show. This popular disc jockey was interviewing the comedy team of CATHCART and NOEL, whose newest movie for FRANK GOODWIN Productions has won a Harold filmdo m ' s most-coveted award — for its director BETTE JO STOWERS. I was so in- terested in the show that I neglected to watch what I was doing, and I nearly upset my coke on lovely actress GISELA SCHMIDT, who was posing for Life ' s photographer FRANK SCHEULER. I watched that for awhile, then went back to the city room and collected Mike. We went down the street past JUDY COOPER ' S Bermuda Record Shop and ROGER CLAPP ' S Used Jet-Car Lot, where millionaire DAVID BURNS was selling his jet-car, with the full ash-trays, to stunt-driver ESTER EMERSON. I would have stopped to talk with my friends, but commentator DOUG HOAG passed with rugged Film Star D. ALAN STEWART. We got mixed up with the crowd; and by the time we freed ourselves, we were facing TOBEY and WALTER ' S Carrier Pigeon Service. I had quite a time keeping Mike from the birds. Just then dog-fancier GARRET VAN WART came by with two large boxers, and that quieted Mike. In fact, she was quiet all the way back to the jet port. This time our voices were not in good order; but Travelers ' Aides ESTHER WENT- ZEL, SHIRLEY GIBBONS, CLIFF GUNNERY, and IRENE LEVY soon put all in good form. They told us to stand by. In the stand-by room, we saw such celebrities as JOHN McCARTHY, RONNIE O ' BRIEN, BOB THORBURN, and JAMES SQUIRES, the men who perfected Non-melting Ice; MARILYN BYRNE, YVONNE THIVIERGE, and PAT DELANEY, manufacturers of No- chip Nail Polish; DON GREENE and JOANIE SWIFT, daredevil pilots; as well as ANNE DUNNE, PRISCILLA LORD, ELAINE MacCUTCHEON, CAROL OBERLANDER, JANICE MARDEN, and PAT McCLERNON, owners and opera- tors of Universal Home Appliance Co. These lovely ladies were chatting with Marine General PAUL KELLY, mystery writer KARL NIEFORTH, and inventor DICK NORTHRUP. From the patio came the cool strains of DONNIE TWITCHELL ' S Supersonic Five, featuri ng trumpeter NEAL SAUNDERS and vocalist JULIE DILLON. Our flight was scheduled for 3:00 P. M. but weather experts GEORGE ERICKSON, LESTER HUDSON, WESLEY LORD, and PETER BEAL said that because of misty nebulae our flight would be held up in- definitely. CAROLYN POWERS, executive secretary of “Model Models, was quite upset, as she had to go to Pluto as soon as possible and sign a con- tract with ETHEL RAYMOND, HELEN SENTNER, and CHARLOTTE SWAN. Professor HEATHER BARNES of M. I. T. insisted that she should be late to Mars for her class in Creative Dance. To make time pass more quickly, JOHN ZEMLA, DAVID WHITE, RALPH SMITH, and the DUSTIN boys sug- gested we play cards; however LUCILLE SYMMES, the well-known dietitian, said we should all be much healthier if we all should sit down and eat a big bowl of Silver Sawdust Flakes made by DAVIS and BOYLE. Suddenly, I realized that Mike was missing. I went to the Lost-and-Found office, where PRISCILLA STEPHENSON said no one had turned in a small yellow kitten but I could check with Baggage Managers AUDREY THOMAS, BETTIE WELCH, BEV BROWN, and NANCY SHERMAN. They hadn ' t seen her either. Then, suddenly a voice came over the loud speaker: Will the owner of this yellow kitten please come to Manager BETTIE WENTZEL ' S office immediately. I retrieved Mike and promptly discovered that the jet lines did not allow cats as passengers. What could I do. The CALLAHAN Bros. Express Lines could fly her to our destination, but I did not know what that was to be. JOANNE WEBSTER and BARBARA WELSH offered to take her, but I couldn ' t part with her. Besides, this trip had been Mike ' s idea. Travel Adjuster WILLARD THOBURN suggested I go to BILL FINN ' S pet shop and buy a cage. PHIL HANSHAW, member of the Mercury Cham- ber of Commerce suggested I rent an apartment in one of FRED LYNCH ' S or BOB LUCEY ' S chain and stay on Mercury. But by this time I was getting homesick. MARGARET BRIDGES suggested I rent one of KIM YARDLEY ' S U-Fly-It Saucers and fly home. GERALD DI MINICO and RALPH HANS- COM, of the Better Business Bureau, said I should complain to Mayor DICK MERRIFIELD, or Town Manager JOE REID. JUDY MILLER said that if Mike lay around my neck, she could pass for one of JUDY ' S fur creations. SHIRLEY RHODES and ROSE MAKAREVICH offered us the use of one of their Handy-Dandy Collapsible Coat Hangers while BILL MUSE declared that one of his non-breakable paper bags would be ideal. The last thing I remember was JOHN PETRINO ' S insisting that JOHN CONNELLY ' S Wonder Tonic could help. Suddenly all went black and I seemed to fall. The next thing I knew, Mi ke and I were sitting at the foot of the tree and I had a large bump on my head. What I want to know now is — if I dreamed all this, what are all these tickets doing in my pocket.

Bette Jo Stower Nancy Weeks Student Council and Congress President: William Flood Vice President: Ernest Gulla Treasurer: Eleanor Faulkner Advisers: Miss S. Hume, Mr. Dixon The Student Council is made up of the officers of the three upper classes and two representatives at large from each class. Along with considering problems and questions of the students, we put on dances — the most popular being the Winter Ball. This year we had George Graham ' s orchestra. In the fall we sent four representatives to the Eastern Massachusetts Division of Student Councils at Winchester, where we led a dis- cussion group on How To Raise Money. One of our most satisfactory meetings is introducing to the freshmen the functions of the Melrose High School Student Council. The Student Congress is made up of the representative and alternate from each home- room. They are called upon for special pro- jects and to bring questions of the student body before the council. Student Congress meets with Student Council the second Wed- nesday of each month. The seventh successful year of the Melrose High School Honor Society started in the fall of 1952. Two inductions were held during the year, one in October and another in Feb- ruary. The present membership of the society is fifty-three. Membership in the Honor Society is at- tained by a student who receives high enough marks to put him on the Honor Roll. Meetings were held monthly with such interesting programs as movies about foreign countries, talks from former graduates of Mel- rose High School on college life, and a field trip to the Hood ' s plant. The high standards of the Melrose High School Honor Society and the principles to which the members dedicate themselves makes this an organization of which Melrose High School is justly proud. Mom Society President: Vice-President: Secretary: Treasurer: First Semester Eleanor Faulkner Carol Dixon Mary Jane Lowe Bette Jo Stowers Second Semester Richard Jones Eleanor Faulkner Bette Jo Stowers Clifford Gunnery Senior Speaker ’s bureau President: Patricia Scott Faculty Advisor: Mr. Stanewick The main purpose of the Senior Speaker ' s Bureau is to have its members gain poise and confidence when speaking publicly. Their biggest duty is reading the notices over the public address system each day. For one week a boy and girl announce them to- gether and find they must speak slowly and clearly in order to be heard in all parts of the school. Most of the assemblies this year have been introduced by members of the Bureau. The Imprint is the official newspaper of the school. Published bi-monthly, it contains news, editorials, sports, features, student inter- views, and pictures. The Editor-in-Chief is in charge of all the editors and reporters, and is general overseer of the paper. The News Editor, Feature Editor, Sports Editor, and Business Manager post their respective assignments, and when these articles are turned in, edit them. Reporters are from the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes. In September, Miss Stall, last year ' s ad- visor, helped with make-up, but our compe- tent and new advisor, Mr. Conn, adapted him- self readily to the job. His judgment, advice, and suggestions were both excellent and help- ful to the staff. Mr. Battles is in complete charge of finances, advertising, and circula- tion of the paper. Commercial students under Miss Marion Hume do all the pre-publication typing. The Free Press is very co-operative in printing and making any necessary adjust- ments in our paper. This year ' s staff has especially tried to inject new ideas to improve the paper. The Imprint results have been better illustrated and varied issues with more student recognition. Also, half of the editorials have been written by the teachers which gives the faculty a means of expressing their views to the student body. Under Miss Westervelt ' s able direction, the Imprint ' s Football Frolic, with disc- jockey Alan Dary was held to increase the school ' s spirit for their football team. Masque and Wig President: Robert Cathcart Vice-president: James Noel Secretary: Carolyn Stollatis Treasurer: Virginia Pyne Program Chairman: Jane Bean The Masque and Wig Society, under the able direction of Miss Garden, enjoyed a busy and successful year. The club, with a member- ship of forty-six meets every fourth Wednes- day of the month. Many interesting meetings were presented under the direction of Jane Bean, program chairman. As usual, the major event of the year was the annual play. This year we presented Curtain Going Up, ' by Gregory Johnston. Mr. James G. Holmes of Emerson College coached the players, who were: Diane Beers, Jane Bean, Paula Gross, Eli- zabeth Hammond, Jane Bohman, Sally Ward, Lucille Symmes, Grace Smith, Diana Walton, Patricia Kane, Sidney Smith, Donald Bergmann, James Noel, Robert Cathcart, Scott Palmer, Frank Goodwin, Edward Hall, Louise Giovino, Marcia Gillespie, Felice Taylor, Astrid Erick- son, Judy Culver, Eleanor Tringali, and Donna Wiseman. The backstage crew, sound effects, promp- ter, properties, tickets, publicity, make-up, pro- gram chairman, stage manager, and ushers, all contributed to make the play a smash hit. Later in the year the club presented another fine program in the auditorium for the benefit of the student body. The final months of the year were spent studying theater and stage techniques. A com- mittee carefully chose the play for next year. As the curtain goes down on another worth- while year, we are happy to be able to say that our success comes from the collective sup- port of the entire club. Allied youth President: Edward Young Vice President: Ray Webster Secretary: Pat Milano Treasurer: Diana Walton Advisors: Mr. Walton and Miss Chase Allied Youth in its aims to keep alive in modern youth the warnings of their fore- bearers concerning beverage alcohol and to help youth make up its own mind in respect to alcohol and its effects on the body, has progressed rapidly. The rapid growth of the Melrose Post 401 has caused the executive committee early this year to divide the membership into two sepa- rate but purposeful groups: the freshmen and sophomores meeting on Tuesdays, the juniors and seniors meeting on Wednesday in room 413. The interest and enthusiasm of the mem- bership has occasioned an increase in the activities of the post this last year. Early in the year the post members were invited to an Allied Youth banquet at Boston University. The occasion was the New England premier of the new Allied Youth movie, Freedom For Youth. In November the post sent six of its members to the International Conference of Allied Youth at Buck Hills Falls, Pennsylvania. Edward Young, president, led the Melrose delegation. The latter activities in keeping with the Allied Youth axiom of 50 per cent educational and 50 per cent social meetings, have included talks with Dr. Marcoux, a local physician, and Reverend Clarence Fuller of the First Congregational Church of Melrose. For the benefit of the student body Allied Youth has held a splash party at the Y. M. C. A. and an annual dance. ( fills ’ Club President: Astrid Palm Vice-President; Lucille Symmes Secretary: Virginia Pyne Corresponding Secretary: Elizabeth Frongillo Treasurer: Bette Jo Stowers Advisor: Mr. George A. McPheters Girls ' Club, the most active club in the high school, has once again completed another successful year under the wonderful guidance of Mac McPheters and the fine leadership of the above officers. The Program Committee with its most capable leader, Eleanor Faulkner, provided us with many entertaining and inspirational meetings which included movies, talent shows, spelling bees, and addresses by outstanding speakers. The mam purpose of our club along with good times and friendship, is welfare. This year our Welfare Committee helped many needy families at Thanksgiving and Christmas. We as Seniors will always cherish our fond memories of Girls ' Club and its purpose that will be our guiding light in the future: The purpose of the Melrose High School Girls ' Club is to unite the girls of the school in a stronger bond of friendliness; to instill them with the spirit of bettering their lives mentally, physically, and morally; and to urge them to be more dependable and to be of greater service to their homes, their schools, and their community. Qkls ' Club t?lee Club President: Martha Thorp Secretary: Nancy Weeks Treasurer: Frank Schueler The Glee Club performed for the first time this year at the Christmas Vespers Service, which was very well received by a capacity audience. Later that same month the club, as guests of the Melrose Rotary, presented many of the same numbers. This year for the second consecutive year, representatives were sent to the All State Con- cert at the Massachusetts Music Educators Association Conference at Springfield. Victor Herbert ' s Sweethearts ' ' was this season ' s operetta, which the newspapers re- ported as being the best yet. The cast in- cluded Nancy Kenneson, Lawrence Lottridge, Claire Young, James Noel, Sally Ward, Robert Cathcart, Sidney Smith, Russell Pope, Edward Young, Joyce Wilder, Nancy Sue Riley, Marcia Gillespie, Heather Barnes, Beverly Nelson, Martha Thorp with Nancy Weeks at the piano. In April excerpts from the operetta were sung by the Glee Club at the Ladies ' Night of the Waverley of the Masonic Lodge. On May first, annual Music Night, the Club presented an appealing varied program in con- junction with the Modern Dance Club, soloists, the band and orchestra. The following day, May second, found the Glee Club singing at 8:30 A. M. for the judges at the Eastern Massachusetts Music Festival in Malden, where they received a rating of excellent. A very successful year was brought to a close with the Glee Club ' s participation in the Memorial Day assembly. President: Neal Saunders Secretary-Treasurer: Jack Lynch Librarians: Ronald Hanson and Alan MacDonald Our band, numbering forty players and seven majorettes, has played an important part in the life of the school this year. It was a vital factor during the football season. Pre- cision formations, the result of arduous and diligent practice, intrigued spectators. Per- haps the biggest hit was the formation on November 1 of I Like Ike during a skit on the imminent Presidential election. Highlights of the band year include Music Night at MHS and the New England Music Festival (this year held at Malden). Graduation is another momentous affair which this year will be especially poignant for our six seniors: William Callahan, Ronald Hanson, David Hutcheson, Jack Lynch, Louise Peterson, and Neal Saunders. The guiding light who inspires and sus- tains the unit is our patient, understanding, and much beloved director Mr. Wendell S. Withington. Baud Modem ' Dance Club The Modern Dance Club of Melrose High is made up of twenty-four girls chosen from the four classes. These girls were selected at the beginning of the school year for their interest and ability in creative dance. The president is Judy Tarr, secretary Brenda Dennison, and treasurer Martha Thorpe. The club advisor is Mrs. McConnell. During the year the club participates in student assemblies and Parent ' s Night. The girls also assist the gym teachers in helping the classes with Modern dance. The club takes part in a dance sym- posium held at Newton High to complete the year. % President: Eleanor Leighton Vice-President: Eleanor Greenwald Secretary: Deborah Barrows Treasurer: Beverly Carter In October the thirty-five members of the Junior Red Cross of Melrose High held their first meeting. Their first activity was the enrollment drive, with which most of the students cooperated. In November Eleanor Leighton and Eleanor Greenwald represented the Melrose High School at a conference lor workers from this area supplying materials and services for the soldiers ' hospital at Bedford and brought back suggestions for continued activities for the group. The club was particularly busy during December. In that month Christmas gifts were collected to send to Caney Creek, Kentucky, and tray mats, cookies and New Year ' s decora- tions were sent to the Bedford Hospital. Various committees worked on each project. Others made posters and scrap books. ‘Junior Red Cross Club Mrs. Ruth Milton, Director of Volunteer Ser- vices for the Melrose Chapter, came to the school in January to report on Red Cross activi- ties and to suggest projects to be carried on during the spring months. The helpful direction of Miss Flora Lutz has aided greatly in making this a successful year. Boys ’ Rifle Club President: Donald Tanner Vice-President: Richard Adams Secretary: Allan MacDonald Treasurer: David Tyler Executive Officer: Larry Lottridge Under the direction of our instructor, Mr. Stanewick, improvement developed in every member. The shooting range was late in open- ing, but previous to the opening of the range, much time was spent in the study of the func- tions of the rifle and the methods of using it. After the range became available to the club, we obtained a new telescope, a much-needed mat, and specific accessories which aided in the development of each member ' s shooting drill. The rifle plays an important part in every man ' s life, particularly in these uncertain days when wars or threats of wars harass the world and face the young men in school today. The purpose of the rifle club is three-fold: it teaches a boy to respect a rifle, it prepares him for the proper use of the rifle if the time comes when he must defend himself and his country; and it develops a sound, healthy sport which one can enjoy now and in his later years. President: Sue Daffinee Vice-President: Julie Dillon Secretary: Joan Manning Treasurer: Maureen O ' Connell Executive Officer: Sue Dolber Publicity: Mary Ellen Robbins With Mr. Willard J. Stanewick as instructor, the girls are rapidly improving their scores. Most of the girls are shooting 90 ' s or better out of possible one hundred ' s. They hope to do very well in the several matches they have planned to shoot against Malden and Winches- ter Highs Girls ' teams and various other teams throughout the country. They also plan to beat the Melrose high school boys in a match. For the girls placing among the top five in four matches, letters will be given at the end of the season. The only reward they can give the mothers who gave so freely of their time to be chaperones is their hearty and grate- ful thanks. Whether they win or lose their matches, they will always remember the wonderful times they ' ve had and the lessons of sports- manship they learned. Girls ’ Rifle Club Early in 1952, the gym resounded with the voices of 80 new girls being taught cheers by the old cheerleaders. After the candidates learned these cheers, the try-outs were given with senior cheerleaders, two members of the faculty and a member of the Student Council voting. A new precedent was set this year when the girls attended three sports; football, basketball, and hockey. The football season was climaxed with a Thanksgiving win over Arlington that the cheerleadrs will never forget. The members of this years squad were Sara Lee Lehman, Eleanor Faulkner, Ann Johnson, Lucinda Likins, Jo-Ellen Lowe, Louise DiPietro and Joanne Robbins. The two co-captains were Astrid Palm and Judy Tarr; the captain was Judy Stiles. The squad was also bolstered by the addition of subs Judy Miller, Brenda Denni- son, and Carolyn Cummings. President: Richard Jones Vice-President: Douglas Poole Secretary: Paul Mowder Treasurer: Alan Tobey Chaplain: Ted Hovey The Hi-Y Club completed another success- ful season under the guidance of Mr. Ernest Huntoon and Mrs. William Isenhart. Many interesting programs were presented this year which included several dances, movies, discussions, and well known speakers. For the first time the officers of the club installed officers and members of another Hi-Y, being invited to install the members of the Reading club. The Hi-Y Club is open for membership to any Junior or Senior boy. The new members inducted this year will be the nucleus of next years club to insure its success. Hi- V Club Current £ vents Club Secretary: Pat Kane During the preceding months Current Events Club has served as a discussion group for thrashing out problems of the world today. The club has tried to help its members under- stand that today ' s citizens are in the middle of the greatest century of progress and the most glorious age the world has seen. The United States in its position of world leadership will need the workers and leaders of today to forge the plowshares of tomorrow ' s peace. Aside from these considerations the aim of the club has been to stimulate thinking. Discussions com- prised the larger part of our yearly program but there were other kinds of meetings as well. Mr. President: From Roosevelt to Eisen- hower maybe well said to have been the out- standing topic. The presidential elections of 1952 was the foremost factor in all discussions this past year. The draft, Far Eastern Affairs, European Cold War problems and the so-called decline of morality in the West added a stabil- izing influence to round out the problems of our contemporary civilization. As a prologue to the presidential elections Current Events held two programs in connec- tion with the recently released record album Mr. President: From Roosevelt to Eisenhower, a recorded living history of the nation during the past twenty years. The French Club is composed of fifteen members and is sponsored by Miss Miche. The president is Elise Tashjian, and Vice-President is Peter Betts. The club meets S block every two weeks. Some of the things the members do are to play games, read plays, have spelling bees and listen to French recordings. The meet- ings are conducted in French as much as possible. French Club The Operators Club is composed of about 30 boys, they are boys interested in motion picture projection, sound, amplifiers, and electronics. This club is responsible for setting up and running all of the audio-visual equipment used m the High School. When teachers want to use a film, filmstrip, tape recorder, record player, or spotlight, some member of the Oper- ators Club gets the equipment and runs it. This permits the teacher to concentrate com- pletely on the teaching process. While service to the school is the primary reason for the existence of the club, it has a very active program of its own. Each week on Wednesday in S period, the club meets for fun and instruction. On the first and third Wednesdays instruction on equipment opera- tion or electronic principles is given. On the alternate Wednesdays a program of entertain- ment in the form of movies is given. The Faculty appreciates the real service this club is giving. The use of audio-visual materials has been greatly encouraged during the existence of this club.

K® Hockey The Melrose Hockey Team reached its peak during the 1952-53 season by playing a tie game with defending champion Stoneham. The rest of the season was just average, and, at this writing, the team has 2 wins, 2 ties, and 5 losses, winding up in sixth place. Captain John Con- nelly, William Flood, Doug Poole, Larry Ryan, Fran Traill, and David Wilson played well all year, with Fran Traill making the first team All-Stars, and Connolly, Poole, and Charles Garniss, a junior, making the second team All-Stars. The Girls ' Field Hockey Team played eight games this year. Seniors on the team were Virginia Pyne, Mary Harris, and Yvonne Thivierge. High scorer was center, Jane Thompson. Team spirit was high but our scores were not. We tied one game and lost the rest. Zeam boys ’ basketball Coach: David Hoyle Managers: Russell Pope and Ted Hovey The 1952-53 Basketball Team under the tutelage of Coach Dave Hoyle completed an- other season in the Middlesex League. Al- though the team did not win a game, they were still in many of them to the very end. The teams from Belmont and Winchester went through the season with only two losses apiece to become the co-holders of the league crown. The outstanding senior player for the team was six foot four inch Ralph Gridley. While playing at the center position Ralph continually hit high in the double figures. Other steady performers for the team were Dick Fitzgerald, Paul Mowder, Roger Bailey, and Edward Shinman. In post-season basketball an intra-mural league was started under Coach Dave Hoyle. The teams, which were coached by the Junior members of the varsity team, were used to benefit the under-class basketball players. The team coached by Dan Miller and Dave Currier tied for first place. Coach: Miss Babson Manager: Carolyn Smith During the 1953 basketball season, the girls played ten games, seven of which we held at the opposing teams ' schools. Coached by Miss Babson, the girls worked hard, however, the first team was unable to win a game. The second team won three, against Reading, Malden, and Winthrop. By far the highest scorer for the first team was Jean Bucci, who made in the vicinity of ninety-four points. Junior, Martha Rand and Sophomore, Grace Johnson also sparked the forward line. Excellent as guards were Jane Foss, Trudy Staples, and Andrea Carrier. Gail MccAfee brought in the most points lor the second team. A newcomer from Stone- ham, Gail was a deciding factor on the second team. The other forwards were: Sue Dolber, Judy Stiles, and Millie Cutter. Among the guards for this team were Marcia Harrington, Mary Harris, and Priscilla Carney. Different captains were chosen at each game. Qirls ' basketball The teams Melrose played were Winthrop, Belmont, Woburn, Winchester, Reading, Lex- ington, Arlington, Malden, Concord, and Newton. The managers were Carolyn Smith and Elaine Kenney. football Co-captains: Don Hume, Paul Mowder Coaches: Dave Gavin, John Walsh, Foster Flint Manager: A1 Tobey The football squad had a successful season in that the boys were able to pick themselves up off the floor and lick their traditional rival, Arlington, on Thanksgiving Day. This victory was one of the most stunning upsets of the 1952 season. Joe Cerretani, Paul Mowder, Tony Gittes and Ernie Gulla led the Raider ' s attack. Prior to the Thanksgiving Day the team lost close decisions to New Bedford, Winchester, Wakefield, Concord, and Gloucester. Melrose did not fare as well against Medford or Malden. Throughout the season the members of the Class of ' 53 were well represented. The backs, led by co-captain Paul Mowder, were: Bob Burnham, Dave Stewart, Jake McCarthy, and Paul Lovejoy. The line-men, led by co-captain Don Hume, were: Bob Bernard, Bill Dustin, Bob Saulnier, Dick Jones, and Ron Lancaster. Special mention should be made of the fact that Dave Currier and Joe Cerretani made the first team Class B all stars. Ernie Gulla and Dave Maclnnis received Honorable Mention. Under the leadership of President Jane Foss, the Girls ' Athletic Council planned an in- formal dance to take place after the Winchester basketball game. Because of the weather the game was postponed, and the dance could not take place. The Council sponsored a beach party in the spring for girls who received letters in the various sports during the year and for the members of the Modern Dance Club. Softball and tennis letters were given out on this occasion. Qirls Atkletic Council baseball Coach: Dave Gavin The 1953 version of Coach Dave Gavin ' s baseball team has prospects of a better than average season as we go to press. The pitching staff includes four hurlers, all veterans of the past. John Rizzo will probably be the team ' s number one pitcher with football stars Tony Gittes, Tom Leary, and Joe Cerre- tani following close in his path. Heavy hitter Frannie Traill, one of the best short-stops in the Middlesex League, is ex- pected to live up to his stellar performance of last year. Doing the catching for Melrose are Don Le- Saffre and A1 Lucci. First base duties have been handed to long ball hitter, Ralph Gridley, who will, along with three other members of the graduating class, Paul Mowder, Ed Fogar- ty, and Franny Traill, provide a strong and well balanced outfield. With the great deal of spirit, optimism, and ability present in the 1953 squad the Mel- rose team is sure to be one of the major con- tenders for this year ' s championship. The Girls ' Softball Team played seven games this year. Jean Bucci starred as short- stop. Other seniors, Muriel Pyne on third base and Elaine Keppe in center field were assisted by a strong group of sophomores and juniors to make a successful team. Girls ' Softball Zrack Co-Captains: Roger Bailey, Dick Jones Coach: Foster Flint Manager: A1 Tobey This year Melrose was represented in the indoor meets as well as having an outdoor track team. At the indoor state meet they finished sixth. This was a fine showing due to the few men entered and the lack of outdoor facilities. The class of ' 53 was well represented by: Rog Bailey and Dave Stewart in the 100 and 200, Phil Hanshaw and Dave Horan in the 440; Bob King in the 880; Joe Reid, Dave Johnson, and Ron Hanson in the mile, Jack Lynch in the shot put, and Dick Jones in the high jump. Out- standing underclassmen were Bob Dias and Pete Cobleigh. At the time of this writing there are 85 candidates out for track. The squad is looking forward to a most successful season. The schedule for the season includes dual meets with Concord, Winchester, Winthrop, Woburn, Wakefield, Reading, and Punchard, plus the State Meet, the Middlesex Meet and the Bel- mont Relays. Coach: Doc Clark Acting Coach: Richard Hildreth Co-captains: Joe Reid, Ron Hanson This year as in the past years the cross country team enjoyed an undefeated season, winning the Divisional Championship and the Middlesex League Championship, ending up State Champions. Although hampered by the loss of Doc Clark and Senior Joe Reid the team, under the able leadership of Coach Hildreth kept in good spirits. The team traveled to Providence, Rhode Island to participate in the New England meet. Due to injuries the team took a third place. Some of the outstanding runners were Bob Dias, Joe Reid, Ron Hanson, Rog Bailey, Mac Giovani, Dave Johnson, Bob King, Ken Maher, Pete Colbeigh, Lenny Wallace and Dave Horan. The Junior Varsity team also went unde- feated winning the Division and League Cham- pionship. Cross Country Zeam Boys ; Zemis The Boys ' Tennis Team in 1953 saw the return of few veterans and the emphasis in Freshman and Sophomore players. Melrose is in Suburban League along with Wmthrop, Belmont, Malden, Rindge, Cam- bridge Latin and Watertown; and for the first time in several years all teams have equal ability. This year we had more people turn out for tennis and because of that we expect a much better team. Last year we won three out of the five matches and expect to do even better his year. We have several capable seniors: Nancy Weeks, Eleanor Faulkner, Pat Sarrau, Jane Foss, and Dorothy Hearne. The underclassmen prove to be very promising also. They are: Janet Brison, Bernice Hefford, Gwen Hess, Priscilla Hoyt, Louise Murray, Merle Forgy, Susan Stockbridge, Nancy-Sue Riley, and Phyllis Isinger. If their spirit is any indication of their play- ing ability, we should have a victorious season. { ? iris ' Zemis This year, as usual, the golf team expects to have a top season. Coach Wilson and his boys even have their eyes on the State Cham- pionship. Last year the team was handicapped because almost all the members were experi- encing their first year on the squad. MHS seems to have everything in favor of a winning team. Only two of the squad grad- uated last year. Led by Larry Lottridge as cap- tain, and with veterans Paul Lovejoy, Charlie Logue and Don Gerry, showing their skill, the team is destined to come out on top. The Melrose team is a member of the Middlesex League which is divided into three divisions. The local division includes Melrose, Reading, Winchester, and Wakefield. The divisional champs compete for the league title, and the victorious team is then entered in the state tournament. J utogmpks Compliments of . . .
