What the yearbook said

Buzz entered the portals of M. H. S. as another wide-eyed Freshman. He did not remain just another High School pupil for long. His witty personality and willingness to make friends soon placed him high among his fellow students. “Buzz” has definite ideas for Annapolis after a year’s preparation at the Admiral Farragut Naval Academy.
