What the yearbook said

Ralph was a bashful lad when he entered Melrose High School, but he gradually left this undesirable category as the list of friends he made increased in height. Although Ralph did not partake in any sports, he very ably managed the score-board during the football games on our home field. He is a great reader, interested in music, and enjoys solving intricate puzzles. Ralph has a great desire to be a success in the business world.
