What the yearbook said

Here is one of the best natured boys in our class. He is always happy, singing the latest song hits and can always find time to laugh no matter how serious the subject. “Hinkv’s” popularity won him the position of class treasurer during his junior and senior years. “Hinky” has been prominent in many lines even in that of acting. He is a true friend always in every sense of the word. Whatever he undertakes after leaving M. H. S. he is sure to be successful and win many friends.
