What the yearbook said

Jerry O’Neill came to Melrose High School in 1928 from St. Mary’s School. He has been here for four years, and during this time he has made a great many friends, among both boys and girls. Jerry has been very prominent in all kinds of sports, as his athletic record above shows. Although Jerry plays hockey, baseball, and football, his favorite sport is hockey. Jerry has made no definite plans for continuing his school career, but says he may enter some prep school next fall. Jerry, however, should make a success of anything he tries, whether he continues school or not.
