What the yearbook said

Wit, now and then, struck smartly, shows a spark.

John is another one of the boys who travels twenty-five miles every morning and night in order to attend our school. John is a quiet fellow, but the old saying, "Still waters run deep," proves true in this case. John surely has a good sense of humor as all the boys will vouch. Many a good laugh we've enjoyed, thanks to John's wit. We know he will get along all right "out there," because he has all the qualities of a good teacher — good natured, willing to help out, able to hold the attention of others. So here's good luck to you, John, we are all with you and hope you have a successful career in your profession of teaching.
