What the yearbook said

Those of us who know Arthur realize that he is quite unlike the average M. H. S. student in that he makes his hobby of wood-carving and cabinet-making a very profitable venture. However, Art’s interests and talents are not limited to his workshop; he is ever willing to help anyone who is having difficulty with their mechanics. He is, as well, an ardent tennis player. We hear that Arthur is planning to attend Noitheastern University, School of Engineering, where we are sure he will succeed.
