What the yearbook said

The class of 1928 brought us a number of red heads. The foremost of these, a smiling but very diminutive “Goochite”, made a name for himself through his record of attendance. However, he’s always among the first to get out of school, and then he can always be seen cruising up and down Main Street in a snappy Pontiac Convertible with a color scheme similar to that of his hair. “Nort” is planning to take a P. G. at M. H. S. and then continue his education towards his goal, journalism, in which we all feel he will be a great success.
