What the yearbook said

“Burt” is another one of those highland lads who came to us in the fall of ’34, and at once became a boy who was always in demand, for he is the “happy go lucky” type. Even so. if the occasion demands, he can be as courageous as Daniel (s) in the lion’s den. “Burt” is very fond of the sea and plans to sail around the world on the Nantucket, (he hopes).
