What the yearbook said

man Track. “Phil” is our leading track star. Ever since he was a lowly “Frosh” he has been a consistent performer. In his Freshman year, he captained the Freshman track team and the last three years he has been our ace in the mile run. “Phil” is said to prefer blondes and he is often seen in Maplewood, where he is very popular with the weaker (?) sex. “Phil” is going to take up aviation when he leaves school, so Lindbergh had better look after his laurels. Go to it, “Phil”, and remember your friends of M. H. S. when you get to be famous.
