What the yearbook said

“Bob” Cary, who is known for his cultivation of a mustache, is one of the best workers in Melrose High School. He never wastes a minute, and if he goes through life the same way as he has gone through school, he will be a leader. Outside of school “Bob” works in J. B. Blood’s Market, where be is in charge of all the boys. “Bob,” in his freshman year, had quite a reputation as a fast ball pitcher, but he “laid off” baseball to work. It is not necessary, although we do, to wish “Bob” success, because be is the kind that will get it.
