What the yearbook said

If one hears a laugh louder and jollier than usual, he may be sure it is Don. Through his jovial manner and unassuming ways, Don has won many friends. He is a serious student who finds time for relaxation outside in such sports as skiing in the winter and swimming in the summer. Don is planning to enter Severn Academy in Maryland and thence to Annapolis.
