What the yearbook said

Four years ago, when little (?) “Rocky entered M.H.S., he was just “another Freshman”. However, his athletic prowess, with lus good humor and sparkling wit, helped him to get acquainted with everyone. In his junior and senior years, he was noted for his strength, and fell just a little short of the national record set here by Roger Knapp several years ago. He intends to continue his activities at B. U.
