What the yearbook said

Bob came to us from Roosevelt in 1932 and worked up a climax in his clowning this year. Bob was “A Little Bit Independent” and rather than study he danced “Cheek to Cheek” and at “3 O’clock in the Morning” he would still be “Truckin'”; but as “Red Sails in the Sunset” and “Santy Clause Came in the Spring” he will be spending his “Loaf’n Time” with “0!,d Man Rhythm.” We hope Red will “Take It Easy” “Twenty-four Hours a Day” and he and his “Sweet Thing” will be “Shipmates Forever.”
