What the yearbook said

Gil is probably the most popular fellow in our class. He is respected by all and deservedly so. Anything Gil does is bound to be done well. He was the backbone of the defense on the hockey team, and when he set out to take one man, he took him. Gil was an outstanding player on the gridiron as well as on the diamond. Melrose High will seem very different without Gil.
