What the yearbook said

In the fall of ’32, “Dick” was reluctantly ceded to the M. H. S. by the Roosevelt School. From the first he was forced to the fore in school activities, particularly in acting, which he detests (?). He has capably taken many leading roles, is a good student, a dancer, and a pianist, no less. His many friends join in wishing him the best of luck.
