H. S.’s own version of Harry James. In addition to his musical talents he is also the official chauffeur of the school; he is always ready with his car when called upon for errands or transportation. Tony’s main interests center around his trumpet, and he has already made a start on his professional career by playing with many of the top name bands. Best of every¬ thing to a swell fellow.

Although Cyril has not participated in sports or extra-curricular activities while at S. H. S., he is known by all for his quick sense of humor and ready wit. When not in school he can usually be found either working for the Furtado caterers or playing cards. His plans for the future are indefinite, but whatever he chooses we are sure he will succeed.

However, his ready smile and willing¬ ness to co-operate have helped to make him a useful and welcome member of the Class of ’48, as well as a cheerful friend to all. Good luck, Melvin, you’ve got an interesting life ahead, and we’re sure that you’ll make the most of it.
