What the yearbook said

"Nellie,” "Kingv” Cloak and Chime 1 ; Debating Society 1, 2, 3; Glee Club 4; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4; Masque and Wig 2, 3, 4; Photograph Committee 4; School Life 4; “She Stoops to Conquer’’ 4; Thrift Council 2, 3; “The Crisis," 2; Traffic Squad 4; “ Count and the Coed," 4; “What Men Live By," 2; Cheer Leader 4 Ahoy ! Back in the dark ages of 1926 Nelson hove into sight along with the rest of the Freshmen from Washington School. But soon the whirl of events filled his sails and he skimmed ahead piloted by different ones as the wind changed. Everywhere along the long line of clubs, plays, and athletics one could always hear "Nellie’s” cheerful laugh; usually in the limelight, he stood out most prominently as cheer leader. A megaphone always seemed superfluous to the listeners. Soon Nelson will cast off and leave the safe harbor for ports unknown. No matter which way he heads, the winds seem favorable for a successful voyage for the good sailor. Weigh the anchor!
