What the yearbook said

“Murph” is the quiet easy going fellow whose six foot-one frame filled so efficiently the right tackle position on “The Red Raiders”. Although he likes football, hockey, and baseball, he always manages to find the time for the weaker sex. “Murph” isn’t certain where he will go next year, but we all wish him loads of success in whatever he does.
