What the yearbook said

I have argued with Betsy and Betsy has argued with me, and we have decided that we can never agree.

"Gashie" is the lad who keeps the class from monotony by his witticisms. Although he is not a six footer the girls claim his curls make up for it. School activities hold first place with him. He lists no outside interests but we have our doubts.
