What the yearbook said

Certainly after having spent six years (1920-1926) in Melrose High, this educational veteran should at least be pensioned by the Endurance Committee. Nevertheless we members of the class of ’26 realize that it is worth waiting six years to become a member of this class. Esther has not engaged in school activities to any great extent, but she was an active member of the debating club during its short career. Here’s hoping you have the best of luck in the future, Esther.
