What the yearbook said
It is of little importance as to which grammar school deserves the credit for placing Prescott, alias “Ike” Stuart, in the ranks of the High School students. Be it known, however, that several years ago a hardy northerner direct from Canada made his presence felt in the old Warren Grammar School and was “initiated” accordingly. In "Ike’s High School activities there was a marked devotion to track and baseball ; in class, perseverance in his difficult subjects, and astonishing cleverness in those which particularly appealed to him. His good nature and jocularity commanded the esteem of his classmates. Many a time has "Ike’s” hearty laugh pierced the still, lifeless air of the classroom. How the name “Ike” ever clung to Prescott, no one knows. Suffice to say, that it leaves the impression of affability plus persistence on one side ; on the other, genuine good sportsmanship.
