What the yearbook said

This blushing young blondie entered M. H. S. in 1934. Alan’s winning smile and well known laugh have won many friends in his class. DeMolay and work occupy a good deal of his time. He is planning on a career in business, and we are certain that his future will be a successful one. More power to you, “Al.”
