What the yearbook said

This mighty mass of brawn and muscle entered M. H. S. via the Washington School. Roger’s exploits in the gym have earned him the title of the “Nation’s Strongest Boy”, and his Grecian profile has adorned the front pages of newspapers all over the country. Roger is also an accomplished pianist. He claims he prefers classical to popular music. Roger intends to enter Springfield next year. We wish him the best of luck.
