What the yearbook said

Charlie came to the good old brick pile four short years ago as a contribution from the Roosevelt School. Charlie has been recognized all four years by his close contact with his brief case. Any time he’s around, the brief case usually is, too. He is a quiet boy and never in trouble, at least not in school. We don’t know much of his outside life. His ambition after his high school career is to head for a long college grind at Tufts. We’re all grinding with you, Charlie, and wish you the best of luck.
