What the yearbook said

This industrious young East Side youth stumbled through the portals of the Melrose High School in 1932 from the Washington School. Although he has outstanding athletic qualities, fate has thwarted his chances to use them. He is very studious, having received certificate grades throughout his four years. Elmer’s future is Tufts College and a vocation of chemical engineering, and we know he will be a success.
