What the yearbook said
In the year 1928 a young gentleman entered the portals of Melrose High School from the Gooch School. He was not known the first day, but in a few brief weeks everyone in the class of ’32 knew him and his cheery smile. Fran, as he is known, was very popular with both sexes. Fran did not take part in any athletics, but was an ardent rooter at all games which Melrose High took part in. He has not decided what to do next year, but whatever he does, he will carry with him the good wishes of his many friends.
