TAKEN FROM THE 1947 MHS YEARBOOK

This year the Melrose gridsters came through a tough season in traditional form, by taking the Class "A” Championship. A young, but hard driving line teamed up with a light, fast backfield to provide the needed class. The season was full of very close games; standout being the Malden and Arlington games, which kept the fans in a permanent state of excited animation.

The Sheridan family was again well represented with Pete guiding the team from the quarterback position. Workhorse Dick Harlow made a habit of carrying the mail through the opposition, with Dick Brown and Freddie Webb doing the remainder of the heavy ball carrying. The end positions were well taken care of by Dick Madden and all Scholastic Ralph Loveys. Bob Gaige’s terrific line backing saved the game on many occasions as did the ability of the rest of the linemen. All that Coach Gavin could hope for would be another season as successful as this one.
