What the page does not say. No clubs or activities, no grammar school, no plan after graduation for Jerome. Other entries in the Melrose High School class of 1936 carry them far more often (clubs or activities 82%, grammar school 48% and plan after graduation 42%), so either the book did not print them or our reading missed them; the scan has the final word.
What the yearbook said
Jerry is known by all of his associates as a truly likable youth because of his winning personality. At first he had no eyes for the weaker sex but now those Woburn “Dills” get the call, jerry’s pet habit is arguing with teachers so as to get the rest of us scholars out of doing that unfinished homework. His ability for saying things at the wrong times sometimes get him a few embarrassing moments. As to the future, Jerry has aspirations of flying over one of those U. S. Greyhounds of the sea.
