What the yearbook said

To the Roosevelt School we owe thanks for sending us this quiet, yet congenial student, athlete, and friend. His cheerful disposition has gained him many friends, and his popularity (amongst the weaker sex) extends even as far as Wellesley? Gordon enters Brown University next fall where he will undoubtedly be a tremendous success in anything he attempts to do. Good luck, Hawsie, from a host of friends.
