What the yearbook said

He may be short, but he can fiddle. It is quite necessary that we say something about the musical ability of Mr. Ells, because it’s his outstanding achievement during his High School career. “Pee Wee” also has been active in the Masque and Wig. The job of moving scenery and setting the stage requires some quick head work and fast foot work. “Pee Wee” was of great assistance in “The Crisis” and “The Celebrity.” If willingness to work is any asset, Warren will never be a failure.
