What William did at school

Fellow members from William's own class:

What the yearbook said

A cheerful temper will make knowledge delightful, and wit good-natured.

Whenever a hearty laugh is heard in a corridor or a class-room it’s probably “Bill”, for his good-nature has enlivened many a dull class-room. Knowledge, however, is never sacrificed, for “Bill” is always prepared in his studies.
