What the yearbook said

T’ll be merry, Ill be free, I'll be sad for nobody.

For three and a half years Clarke was an active member of our class. Last summer he came to the conclusion that a year spent at some preparatory school would be more beneficial to him than the completion of the remaining half-year course at Malden High. As a result he went to St. John’s, New York this fall where he has made some fine records. We include him in our special biographies as an old friend of all of us.
