What the yearbook said

Jim came to the institution of learning known as the Melrose High School in 1928 via the Washington School. His pleasant personality and ready smile soon netted him a host of friends, including many girls. Although he has not taken part in many school activities (for he is a working man), he has been an ardent supporter of the football team and is seen at most of the games, cheering his head off. When he graduates, Jim plans to enter the business world, and we wish him the best of luck in whatever he undertakes.
