Title: The LOG
Scanned by: Allen County Public Library Genealogy Center, via the Internet Archive

Dedication. We, the members of the graduating class, dedicate the Meh-ose High School LOG for 1942 to Miss Edith S. Blake, who, with us, is leaving Melrose High School this June. We, as graduates, are just about to select the threads with which to weave our pattern of life ; Miss Blake, however, long ago chose her threads and has woven them into a rich tapestry, full of kindness and wisdom.
