Overwhelmed by a landslide of reactionary votes, Paul M. Kerins '41, the boy crusader, was defeated yesterday after his vigorous campaign for election to the Brookline School Committee.
Running seventh out of nine candidates of whom three were elected, Kerins received 2189 (incomplete returns) as compared with 6491 votes garnered by the leading candidate, Brooks Morrison, and 6435 votes polled by his woman competitor, Mrs. Edith Baker.
Optimistic before the voting began, the 21 year old government concentrator did not let the outcome of the balloting disturb his day. He spent the evening studying in Widener Library for what his mother described as "a very hard examination tomorrow."
A sound truck futiley blared forth Kerin's praises to the Brookline electorate throughout the day announcing that the way to "eliminate inefficiency" and to "get good government" was to vote "for a program, not a promise."
