What the yearbook said

Three years ago Dick Hadley moved from New Jersey to Melrose and entered our high school as a sophomore. He has made many friends since his arrival. If you know him, you realize why. He is tall, good natured, and from what the girls say, not bad to look at. Skiing and hockey are his favorite sports. After graduation, Dick hopes to go to Kentucky and join his father in business. Here’s to a great future for a “great guy.”
