What the yearbook said

El came to us from the Washington School, a smiling, ruddy-complexioned fellow with a host of friends in spite of a saxaphone. He joined the two instrumental organizations of the school, the Hi-Y, and Traffic Squad. El plans to enter Harvard in the fall. We wish him lots of luck, although we know he will succeed whether we wish him well or not. A certainty it is that he will always be remembered by us all.
