What the yearbook said

“Ken” is a quiet chap who entered M. H. S. four years ago from the Washington School. It has been his policy for the last four years — on and off — to give the fair damsels of the school a wide berth. His modesty is appalling; and we hope that he cures himself of that as time goes on. Never, in his high school career, has he caused the teachers much trouble. That “Ken” is studious, is shown by the multitude of books that he carries to and from school each day. “Ken” hopes to finish his education at Tufts. In the not too far distant future, we may hear of the successor of Steinmetz, a man who bears the odd name of Smith.
