I'm making a guess here, but we know that Kerry's reign as chairman of Yale's Liberal Party (63-64) ended in disaster, with Kerry's fellows despising him so much that they began a "No Kerry Club."  It's possible that in a snit Kerry responded by taking his marbles to the Republican Club the following year.  Of course Republicans, who have a basic character requirement, bounced his ass the next year.  Just a guess, mind you.  BTW, Kerry spoke at his graduation and used the occasion to condemn the Vietnam war. Then he enlisted in the Navy.

I faithfully reproduced the yearbook text. The original may be viewed here. Hat tip to "secret source".

I see he was in Skull and Bones. The lefties are all atwitter about this group as being one of those big conspiracies, along with Bohemian Grove.

Quite an underbite he has there.

Regarding Kerry's supposed gaffe last week about the "bunch of crooks" in the present administration, I composed the following ditty:

In employing a putative gaffe,
To inflict a nefarious chaff
On George Bush, it would seem
That John Kerry did scheme,
In a way that's too clever by half.
