What the yearbook said

Bill has confined his activities to outside of the school limit. He is interested in gardening and accounting. He will throw in his lot with the rest of the business men. Bill is one of those “now you see him, now you don’t” fellows. He is always smiling and never seems to have any trouble or cares. He is an all round happy-go-lucky guy.
