What the yearbook said

Helen is one of the Fay Lamphiers of the class. She draws the attention of the boys as sugar draws flies, and of late the athletes of Melrose, Malden, and all points east and west have sought her favor. Besides possessing alluring charms, “Ken” is always ready to indulge in a little fun. If the teachers believe the classroom is no place in which to have a good time, they are altogether opposing “Dimples’ ” views. May our gloom-killer continue to kill gloom when she gets out into the big, cold world.
