What the yearbook said

John is a go-getter. Everything he takes hold of just has to start moving. “Johnny” was the only freshman to make his track letter. When in his senior year his Personals Department has put the life in “School Life”. “Highlights” has claimed much of his time, for he is the mainstay of the advertising staff. Outside of school he has been busy working and beside this, he is a leader in the De Molay. Helpfulness and pep with a liberal portion of humor are “Johnny’s” chief characteristics and they are sure to lead him far along the road to success.
