What the yearbook said

Behind the highest stack of sandwiches at our table you’re bound to find Jack. This, however, does not effect his tennis game, for with the teams best back-hand, he’s a great asset to the tennis squad, and hopes someday to give Don Budge a good game. A great sport, he makes any crowd a merry one.
