What the yearbook said

Frank is a very serious mortal and a conscientious worker, an all-round good scout admired by the boys, rather short and shy with lady friends. Frank intends to go into the Real Estate business. He also enjoys short story writing, and if these activities fail to bring him the necessary remuneration to keep him the same fastidious, well-dressed Frank that we know, he can turn to fudge making, in which he is decidedly expert. A good pleasant evening is always assured at Frank’s home. All the boys wish him the best of luck and good fortune the world has to offer.
