What the yearbook said

Although he is small, "Chet” will never be lost, not even in a crowd, for he has the brains and the brawn to pull himself out. Aside from being popular with the teachers, Latin is Chester's hobby. He and Miss Abby have always been the greatest (?) of friends. Great minds, you know, run in the same channels. Yes. "Chet" really is a worker. He works as hard at driving his dumpcart load of dirt as he does at his studies and college preparations. Continue the same way "Chet,” and no matter what you do, you'll always come through with the best.
