What the yearbook said

"Sam,” one of our prominent “red heads,” has been especially active in one line of athletics, tennis; he has played in nearly every game in his junior and senior years. Although somewhat quiet and bashful in public, “Sam” was a steady and active Hi-Y member, one of the first of the class to gain membership. Furthermore he might have been found at most of the local dances, hie is, as yet, undecided as to his future education although he has thought seriously of several higher institutions of learning. “Sam,” with his agreeable mien, is certain to make a success in either business or school.
