What the yearbook said

“Johnny” came to the Melrose High from the Lincoln School in 1927. His ready smile and easy-going ways quickly made him the friend of everyone. During his first year, he played an active part on the freshman baseball team. Outside activities kept him busy in his second and third years; consequently, his athletic activities were suspended until the last year, when he played an important part on the track team. John has ambitions to further his education; wherever he goes, we feel assured of his coming out on top.
