What the yearbook said

Cheerful Eddie enjoys football, hockey, gymnastics, and swimming the best of all the sports. He is not exactly a woman hater, but has not let this interest interfere with his marks, which he hopes will enable him to go to Springfield College. We all know happy-go-lucky Ed — especially the teachers, and I know we are all wishing him steady advancement in years to come.
