What the yearbook said

Although Earle is one of the quiet individuals of this class, those who know him are sure that he is a fine fellow^. When he came here in 1928 from the Roosevelt School, he had no idea that his slight interest in aviation would be as strong as it is now. It looks as though he intended to keep a high standard in life. He has lots of luck and plenty of pluck, which in this career is needed. We sincerely hope he soon climbs the ladder of success and becomes rich and famous.
