What the yearbook said

Smitty is a quiet fellow, known as a loyal student by his friends and teachers. He is taking the Technical course, and intends to enter M. T. T. His marksmanship in the Rifle Club won for him a Legion IMedal as the best shot in the club in his senior year. His aim in life will be as straight if he keeps up the good work he has done here.
