What the yearbook said

Doe entered Melrose High from the Washington School as a smiling Freshman. His principal interest has been baseball. Don is one of the most light-hearted of our class, and his ready smile has won him many friends during his four years here. He is a favorite with both boys and girls, some of the latter going so far as to spell his name “Dawn”, and the former dubbing him a true pal. Doe plans to enter Tufts Medical School next year. Here's hoping you get to the root of people’s diseases as you do of their hearts!
