What the yearbook said

Gene, a fair-complexioned lad, entered the old M. H. S. in 1932, directly from the Roosevelt School where he excelled in sports. For three years now he has graced the halls of the new school with his spontaneous smile and sportsmanship. Skipper of times mentions “Virginia”. (Must be his native state or something). V ith his aggressiveness he is soon to realize success. The best of luck to you always, Gene.
