What the yearbook said

Betch wandered into Melrose High School from the Lincoln School as a Freshman in 1928, and he has been roaming around ever since. He has not been a member of any school organization; for, being a hard working man, he hasn’t had the time. He will be successful in the business world if he can perform all tasks as efficiently as he has those of Business Manager of “School Life”. He’s been very disloyal to our girls, though, for he thinks that Arlington has the best, and the “Arlington girl” takes up most of his spare time.
