What the yearbook said

Wes's red face and ready smile tagged him with the name of Blusher. Having been on the golf team for two years, Ole's chief recreation is golf. When weather stops golf, Wes may be found at the bowling alleys. Many will genuinely feel the loss of Wes's ruddy smile when, next year, he attends Wentworth Institute to study architectural drafting.
