What the yearbook said

Have you ever seen a water main burst? Neither have I, but some of us have seen Kenny come out with a new idea now and then — with the same effect! His latest enthusiasm is skiing, at which he cuts quite a figure. Don't let the glasses fool you. Ken is not the bashful type, as evidenced by his startling array of beautiful bow-ties which daily draw the admiring glances of his friends.
