What the yearbook said

This, my friends, is one of the happy-go-lucky fugitives from the Lincoln School. Although “Norkv” is not a real scholar in school, he has as a hobby Radio Receiving and Transmitting about which he is quite well informed. Even though he is, in an amateur way, an authority on short-wave radio, he plans to discard radio and start his career pounding a beat as a “cop”.
