What the yearbook said

Now let us introduce "Shorty" another one of the boys from the "Hill." Although we could not exactly say he was a quiet boy, he always managed to keep out of Mr. Cobb's way. "Shorty" did not go out for High School Athletics but you may bet that he indulged in every sport that was in vogue up on Front St. His winning personality and ready wit won him a host of friends during his high School Days. His future plans have yet to be completed, but the whole Class of 1938 unites, "Shorty," in wishing you lots of success in whatever your choice of career may be.
