What the yearbook said

Five-foot ten, blue eyes, straight, light-brown hair — might be most anyone. But when we mention freckles, more freckles, and still more freckles, and a Cheshire grin besides, who could it be but Traskie? Traskie, who backed up that big trombone on the football field as the band did its part; Traskie, who puffed away at that same trombone in the orchestra and in operettas; Traskie who is always grinning and seeing the bright side of things, and whose cheery disposition radiates happiness, making other lives brighter, too. Here’s to you, Traskie! May you continue to see and help others to see the happy side of life!
