In context
In the alphabetical roll of 88 names from the Melrose High School class of 1931, Melvin stands 80th. Melvin's portrait is on scan page 81, and this book's portraits on the site span pages 15 to 91. The class of 1931: 57% of classifiable plans point to a college or university, versus 79% in 1930 and 52% in 1932.
What the page does not say. Clubs or activities, write-up or quotation and grammar school are missing. The rest of the Melrose High School class of 1931 has them often (clubs or activities 49%, write-up or quotation 40% and grammar school 36%), so the gap may belong to the reading rather than to Melvin. The scan is the authority.
