What the yearbook said

Paul, better known to us as “Smitty”, came to Melrose High from Rochester, New York, in our Junior year. He was not here long before he made many friends with his ready wit, good humor, and his New York accent. He has a pleasing personality, proved by the way he gets along with the opposite sex. Aside from his other activities, “Smitty” is one of the few three-letter men. He has won letters in football, Basketball, and ’Track. He likes Basketball best of all and plays a very good game. “Smitty” is a hard working individual and spreads joy wherever he goes.
