Details about Melvin

Crimson - 1947

"For he's a jolly good fellow" applies better to "Mel" than to any member of this year's class. He came back this year for his degree after a break of several years, during which time he served in the infantry. While he was at school he and his family made their home in Fond du Lac. Mel joined Evans fraternity when he first came to Ripon. He was also active in the Art Club, of which he was the treasurer. Basketball and track were his top sports and he earned major letters in both of them, but he also took part in intramural athletics. His major was physical education."
