What the yearbook said

“Ken” has struggled through four strenuous years of high school with more interest in athletics than in studies. But he reached the honor mark in sports as a three letter man. Girls, gaze upon our future movie hero. “Lulu” is following Red Grange’s footsteps, for he juggles ice as a summer pastime. If “Lulu” goes into the cinema world, with his good looks and romantic personality, he will attain heights hitherto unimagined. At the present, however, it looks rather doubtful whether “Ken” will leave Melrose. A magnetic influence draws him continually to the East Side.
