What the yearbook said

“Phil”, small as she is, is one of the most athletic girls in M. H. S. She came to us from the Washington School, and since her entrance into high school, she has participated in many school activities. Her career began in her freshman year when she helped Melrose gain the 6 points in the 86-6 Swampscott basketball game. She has since been a popular player for the field hockey and tennis teams as well as for the basketball teams. Her two great ambitions are to have a natural wave and to become an expert coach. We all feel sure that she would make a fine coach as she is so proficient in all forms of sport. Good luck, “Bucky”.
