What the yearbook said

John L. found himself a bewildered freshman in 1934. Since then, he has gained many friends with his pleasing personality. He likes to travel, especially when he is headed for Ipswich. In the summer, when he isn’t working on soda fountains, we find him heading for Ipswich. In the fall, he expects to enter a large business concern in New York City.
