What the yearbook said

Lou, a staunch young fellow from the East Side, after graduating from the Washington School in 1928, became a freshman in the Melrose High School. His hearty grin, smiles, and cheerfulness won for him numerous friends. Lou intended to play football for the High School but sickness was in the way. Lou intends to spend one more year in school preparatory to entering the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy. Lou intends to open a drug store some day (probably because of his craving for ice cream sodas). The many under-graduates, with whom Lou was popular, will regret his graduation from Melrose High. Here’s luck!
