What the yearbook said

Charlie is a leading figure in the school because of the good natured beatings he takes from "the gang." He is a well known expressman around Melrose and can be seen using his 185 pounds of muscle to good advantage. Although he is not a studious person, Charlie gets good marks. In the future you may expect to see him wearing the blue of the United States Navy.
