What the yearbook said

“Don” is well-known to his fellow students, for he is continually winning prizes because of his artistic talent. He is not only cheerful and fun-loving, but also industrious, as shown by his willingness to work during after school hours in Hopkins. His outside interests do not only consist of art, for he eagerly watches the progress of the Boston Bruins, and especially that of Benny Goodman. May he gain renown in the pursuit of his talent.
