What the yearbook said

Although as a Freshman, “Ray” was bashful, he has lost all signs of it now. “Ray” chose the Commercial Accounting Course in which to pursue his studies and has been successful in this course. He has always been a loyal follower of the Melrose High School Sport Teams and was on the Track Team for three years. “Ray” is going to enter the business world upon graduation and will, we believe, be successful.
