What the yearbook said

This is Ex-President Shaw of the Radio Club. Monkeying with radios is Mr. Shaw's specialty. Being mechanically inclined and in addition a most ardent radio fan, “Ben” is known far and wide as a wireless expert; in fact he sat up late one night and got Chile, and that’s no joke, either. Next year will find George Benjamin at M. I. T. where he intends to take up electrical engineering. All that we can say is that as long as he remains loyal to the Bachelors’ Club, of which he is a most active supporter, we can expect from him nothing but the greatest of success.
