What the yearbook said

Dick first placed himself at the mercy of the high school teachers in 1932 when he left the scene of his grammar school struggles to embibe adolescent intellectualism. Upon his arrival at high school he began to exercise to its highest degree his most noticeable characteristic, namely his happy faculty for making friends. After graduating, he will attend New Hampshire State University, where we hope he will make many new friends and remember his old ones.
