What the yearbook said

Spencer entered M. H. S. in 1932 as a member of the last freshman class in the old High School. He has not been prominent in athletics but has not neglected the interests of the school. Pen seems to be endowed with the happy faculty of getting respectable marks with the least possible effort. Next year Spencer plans to enter Boston University and take up journalism. We know if he follows his present plans he is sure to make good.
