What the yearbook said

Frank, jovial, and sportive are the three adjectives that best describe him. His fair, open expression has marked Frank as the emancipator of school. The joy that he spreads wherever he goes blankets any trace of gloom. Last but not least is his athletic ability. For four years he has been outstanding in this field. Football, track, and basketball have received his attention. He has been a continual threat on the gridiron, a Mercury in a pair of track shoes, and a Horatius on the basketball floor. Being outstanding has only turned Frank’s head toward success in whatever his life work will be.
