What the yearbook said

Puns, puns, puns! That’s his name, business and pastime. “Russ” is known everywhere by his good humor, and as one who has “possessed and maintained a Ford” (that probably explains how he can stand so much!) “Nick” has also proven himself quite an artist by winning a prize in a state wide contest. He has done well as manager of hockey and guardian of Hi-Y funds during the past year. Russell is an apt “French” student (not the language). He intends to continue at school and his many friends see a brilliant future for him.
