What the yearbook said

Herb was just like any other “freshie” during his first year at this institution, but he has acquired, since then, like the rest of the upperclassmen, the well known characteristics of a dignified senior. Although he has not been especially active in athletics, he has been an ardent rooter at all the games in which Melrose High took part. Herb’s gift of gab, good nature, and yellow ties have won him many friends. Herb has hopes of entering West Point in the near future, and we all wish him the best of luck in realizing this ambition.
