Menlo is a student at Third Street School and a minor character in Recess. He is Miss Lemon's assistant, or 'aide', as he likes to say. He has appeared in some episodes.
Personality
Menlo is obsessed with organization. He lives by his planner, and disdains people who are not organized. He is good with the filing system and spends most of his time inside the office, rarely going outside to playground as he's too busy. Menlo was initially a bad student raging havoc at the playground, but his personality changed permanently after he was "randomly chosen" as the 'principal for a day'.
Relationships
Randall Weems
Menlo is friendly with Randall, though they never do much together. They took over the playground in the episode "Partners in Crime". He was with Menlo in Lawson's Crew in the episode "Lawson and his Crew". Randall was also at Menlo's birthday party.
T.J. Detweiler
Although in some ways, Menlo is an antagonist to the main characters, he's generally a decent character. He was also the best friend of T.J. back when they were 4 years old. T.J. still attends Menlo's birthday party for years, because Menlo felt unhappy at seeing their friendship ended, though they later recovered it.

At school, Menlo wears a pair of nerd glasses, a sky-blue dress shirt with a blue and red striped tie alongside blue jeans. On this picture of his birthday party alongside T.J., he wears a blue and red striped shirt that reveals his stomach. His hair is brown, straight and short.
