What the yearbook said

Throughout his four years at Melrose High, "Tib" has won the name of the Dapper Kid through his appearance and smile. He has participated in many school events and social activities. His spare moments are spent listening to the "swing and sway" music of his favorite bands. Photography, too, has kept Tib busy as a businessman. In the future, he hopes to become a flying eagle in Uncle Sam's Air Corps.
