What the yearbook said

Well liked by everyone, "Bish" is a genial, good natured fellow always ready for some fun. He is noted about the school for his flashy bow ties, adorning himself with the brightest he can find. During the summer Charlie can usually be found on Lake Quanapowitt, sailing his skimmer with the skill of an old salt. After leaving Melrose High, Charlie intends to enroll in the Massachusetts Nautical School. Gobs of luck to a future sailor.
