What the yearbook said

"Ed," one of our most popular Seniors, was co-captain of that football team that carried home the honor of the Midland League Championship last season, amid uproarious cheering. However, in spite of his fame on the gridiron, he is very modest and is in possession of as kind a heart as you'll find anywhere. He studies enough to keep his marks above average and intends to enter Holy Cross in the fall. C. H. S. will be losing a valuable football player and a regular fellow, but we send him on his way with our best wishes for the future.
