What the yearbook said

Herb came to M. II. S. from the Roosevelt School in September, 1927. A good student and a true sportsman, be immediately became known and liked by his classmates. Herb seems to like out-of-town girls better than Melrosites, as anyone who has heard of his journeys to Stoneham and New Hampshire will believe. Benny has always been very ambitious, studying and playing hard in addition to his work with the orchestra and the track team. We wish him the best of luck at New Hampshire University.
