What the yearbook said

Jack is one of those fellows that can get along with anyone, and he is the kind that everyone likes to have around. Jack is interested in rifles and radio. He is one of the best shots on the team. He is also very active in the radio club and is always experimenting with radios at home. He is going to Northeastern University next year. Best of luck to you, Jack.
