What the yearbook said

Behold the tallest fellow in our class. Who knows to what heights he will rise? “Big Boy” entered the portals of M. H. S. destined to be a student and a heartbreaker; he is progressing in both. John was one of the main stays on the football and basketball squads this year. In addition to this, he holds seven state records for championship swimming. ’At’ a boy, John, you’ll show ’em how to swim the English Channel. Last but not least, who has not thrilled to hear that melodious tenor voice blend vociferously with the many choruses of M. H. S.? A sense of humor, plenty of pep, and a pleasing personality make John one of our best liked classmates, and we know success will follow him through college and life.
