What the yearbook said

It has often been said that one cannot determine by the looks of a frog’s leg just how far he is going to jump. Now "Bill” is very quiet, and usually is in a rather pensive mood. Studies, while they are not his joy, certainly receive a major portion of his time. His marks speak for themselves. So devoted is he to these trying subjects, that he neglects to display his abilities as an athlete. Thus we may say that "Bill,” though generally silent and reluctant to reveal his accomplishments, ranks high in the class of 1929.
