What the yearbook said

“Herb’s” one regret is that there are not thirty hours in a day. A glance at his activities will tell you why. Technical subjects are his best and he plans to follow them up by a technical course at Northeastern University. “Hamy” has spent many long nights as an usher at the Melrose Theater, finding little time for outside amusements. Perhaps we should call him “Busy Bud.”
