What the page does not say. Clubs or activities, grammar school and plan after graduation are missing. The rest of the Melrose High School class of 1932 has them often (clubs or activities 78%, grammar school 67% and plan after graduation 36%), so the gap may belong to the reading rather than to Robert. The scan is the authority.
What the yearbook said
This most unobtrusive personage, popularly known for his abilities in our lunchroom, has a strong ambition to become a specialist in the art of photography. What time he does not spend in school is whiled away in the studios of professional photographers or in his own laboratory, lost in fascination. Bob is particularly noted for his humor and for a constant supply of merry-making remarks which many of his friends admire. If you will only keep up your pleasing, optimistic viewpoint of life, Bob, and hold on to ambition, we feel sure that “happiness”, the supreme quality of existence, will gladden your heart evermore.
