What the yearbook said

Here is one of our modest and blushing, but popular fellows. “Al’s” popularity extends throughout all the school. This is so, not only among those of the sterner sex, as “Al’s” pleasing personality and good looks are also the subject of many admiring feminine eyes. Before applying for admission to this institution of learning he spent most of his time at the D. W. Gooch School. His short “Cummings” are few, only one in fact, and we all wish him the best of success in whatever he may attempt to do after leaving our dear old brick pile.
