What the yearbook said

Jo-Jo exists solely on his keen wit and satirical nature together with a mind retentive of humor. He has among his pastimes dancing, bowling, hunting, and canoeing, of which the latter is the most important. Geo's understanding of the fairer sex explains, no doubt, the unusual amount of his success in their company. With these social and personal qualifications, we feel sure that Geo will work his way high into the ranks of the Merchant Marine.
