What the yearbook said

“Ted” came to us as a quiet and bashful freshman in 1927 from the Roosevelt School. However, during his four years with us, he has become a very popular member of the class of ’31. He has never lost his bashfulness, and women have never attracted this curly-haired youth. Although he never joined the Masque and Wig, he is one of the finest actors of whom the senior class may boast, lie plans to enter Northeastern next fall. The best of luck to you, “Ted.”
