What the yearbook said

Bill joined our ranks from the Lincoln School. He has a pleasing personality and seems to get along well with the many friends he has made while he has been here. He seems to enjoy the company of one in particular and you may always see this “petite damsel” with him. He is very enthusiastic about sports, particularly track and basketball. He isn’t quite sure what he will do when he leaves us, but we think he is planning on taking a P. G. course. Good luck, Bill.
