What the yearbook said

In 1934, Auburn, Maine, surrendered this lover of swing rhythm, and deposited lum in our midst. His infectious smile and wailing trumpet made for him many friends. He is one of the fellows who lets tomorrow take care of itself, and has no idea of his future activities. However, more than a few “36’s” expect him to be enrolled in one of the country’s foremost popular orchestras.
