What the yearbook said

Behold! Another personage from the Washington Hall of Fame has come to M. H. S., that worthy “old brick pile”, wherein are harbored so many literary curiosities and students of distinction, one of whom is Dick, who for four years has held his own in work, in play, and in study (?). He took chemistry for two years, and rejoiced therein! Reliable, steadfast, determined — these are adjectives which are applicable to Dick. As an actor, he showed exceeding brilliance in the stirring play, “Shedding.” He intends to go to Northeastern University. Good luck, Dick! May the Fates be with you!
