Daily to me come boys and girls, Carefree, laughing and singing the songs of youth, Laughing, laughing with the exuberance of youth, In the morning they come, some thirsting for knowledge, Some as a matter of course, but all laughing. In the evening when the sun is yet high, they leave, Joyous and carefree, but to return on the morrow. In these halls I have seen the flowering of manhood, In these halls I have seen the blossoming of womanhood. New ideas come, ambitions, aspirations and yearnings, Longing for great deeds to do, new worlds to conquer. What will they be fifty, a thousand years from now? They know not. The knowledge is granted only to me. I am the High School! I teach them all things. A LA CARL SANDBURG 0 A I am the High School!

THE ANNUAL STAFF MISS RITA TILLER Second Runner -up - yeaIEOOQ Queen MISS JUDY BUSSEN MISS MARY TYRE MISS CAROL HANSEN MISS MAIDA GRIFFIN MISS CAROL HURST MR. CLARENCE C. HOLDEN Principal 7kg 3780f M 9 1r 0 s e High School, featuring the new-look this year, has lived up to, and in some cases exceeded, my ex- pectations and predictions of last year to you. We have made dramatic strides for- ward in both the areas of athletic en- deavor and in scholastic attainment. School spirit has been at an unprece- dented high. Many peOple have wondered what has happene d to effect such a radical change from the Melrose School of the past. My answer to this is one word within the grasp and practice of every- one -- cooperation. Cooperation is not a one-way street with only the principal being expected to c 0 Op e r ate . When the parents, students, and teachers, as well as the principal, cooperate with each other toward building a school, there is no limit to what can be achieved. Let's keep up the fine spirit of cooperation, now that we have it! Yours truly, Mam Al x ' 112 x N x Dedication Through the years of high school, we have been guided by your love and interest. Fortunate are we, for having one so under- standing and patient. Your humor has added cheer to many a class- room andnas shown that work can be pleasant. The Seniors acknow- ledge this by dedicating the 1961 edition of the Melrose Bulldog to our teacher, and our friend. An orchid to you, Mrs. Stephenson! 6 HOME ECONOMICS MRS.

IT IS ENOUGH. LOVE LEAVES MY SOUL WITH MEMORY. We have tried to show you a school year at Melrose High, which was full of work, learning, and pleasures. The staff wishes to give a very special vote of thanks to Mrs. Jannetides, sponsor of the 1961 BULLDOG, for all her effort and guidance that she gave throughout the year. She was always on hand to supervise and help the staff out of troubles--which were frequent. We also wish to express our appreciation to the people who have financially contri- buted to this yearbook. It is our hOpe that the student body will patronize them as well as they have us; we hope the community will use this annual as its buyers' guide.
