What the yearbook said

In 1922 “Captain” entered High School from the Franklin merely to see what it had in store for him. He became so interested that he decided to remain and has pursued his studies willingly ever since. During his stay at Camp Devens with the C. M. T. C. last summer he acquired quite a military poise and endeavors to carry out this same form of training in leading physical exercises. As yet our “Captain Kidd” has not taken many voyages but plans in the near future to embark on an extended voyage until he reaches the height of his ambition, — a military commander.
