What the yearbook said

Wicky, as he is known to his friends, is well liked by his classmates because of his good spirits which nothing seems able to dampen. Although he did not take his studies too seriously the first two years, he more than made up for it the last two. Because of outside employment, he was unable to go out for sports, but his constant attendance at all the High School events did much to make them a success. He plans to study for the Ministry, and we feel sure that he will make a success of it. The Class of '38 wishes you all the luck in the world, Wicky.
