What the yearbook said

Chester’s chief hobby has been in the way of trying out for athletic teams. In all his four years at M. H. S. “Chet” has figured as a member of the football and hockey squads, and as a reward for his persistency he won his letter in basketball last winter. Likewise for four years “Chet” has been a physical torture leader, having been promoted to the position of supervisor in his senior year. Mr. Roberts made his opera debut in 1925 as a member of the “Pinafore” chorus. All in all we can predict a great future for “Chet” providing he doesn’t try out for any athletic teams.
