What the yearbook said

Lou, one of the unsung heroes of our football team, has been perhaps one of the most outstanding athletes of Melrose High for the past four years, starring in football and hockey. He is another member of the athletic Spadafora family and is carrying on their tradition with flying colors. Through Lou's unending aggressiveness on the field of play, he will probably attend some college; but we are sure that whatever he does, he will be successful.
