What the yearbook said

Seldom do you find such a good natured and fun-loving fellow as Trapper. Athletics, school activities, and church work have kept George busy throughout his four year stay at M. H. S., but he has always found time for our weaker sex. Because of Trapper's pleasing personality and ambition, we know he cannot fail to become a success.
