What the yearbook said

Larry is that versatile young man who struts about the halls of Melrose High School, making remarks and comments on everything in general, especially about certain members of the fairer sex. He is a well known outside member of the Girls’ Club, and is usually “on deck” every 'Thursday night keeping constant watch for????. He intends to pursue the horticultural profession, and we know he’ll be a great success.
