What the yearbook said
Walt entered Melrose High four years ago from the Gooch School, just as green as the rest of us. But it didn’t take him long to find his place. Since his Sophomore year, he may be identified as the one who scoops ice cream during recess and consumes the leftovers after his day’s work in the lunchroom. If you ever need a right-hand man, just call on Walt and he’ll help you with a grin. This past year he has been galloping on the track teams. He intends to take up mechanical engineering at Northeastern. All our best wishes go with you for a successful future, Walt!
