What the yearbook said

Charles “Sandy” Morrison came to us from St. Anslems Prep in October, 1923. He has successfully completed his four years in the “old brick pile” and is now ready to help turn the wheels of progress. “Sandy” wants to be a mining engineer and had the school all picked out, but he is going to wait till his “ship comes in”. We have heard that he is going West where the coyotes howl; bet he won’t stay long. How do we know he won’t stay? Sandy has been sweet on a certain girl on Washington Street and unless he moves Washington Street out west we don’t think he will stay long. Best of luck, Sandy, but be careful out there in the “wild and wooly West.”
