What the yearbook said

The A. & P. has claimed most of Gerry's spare time during the last two years, but he now has a real job in front of himself as a sailor in the United States Navy. Gerry is a marked individualist and an ardent admirer and follower of the Substranodosis Theory of Life as devised and interpreted by J. Markam Lewis. Nevertheless, he has enlisted in the Naval Reserve and will be called for active duty upon graduation.
