What the yearbook said

Ellen entered Melrose High in 1932, among those from the Washington school. Since then, with her quiet, winning ways she has made many friends, and in the last two years seems to have preferred particularly the company of one masculine member of the class. “El" plans to go either to Wellesley or to Middlebury next year, and we feel sure she will be a success in whatever field she undertakes.
