What the yearbook said

“Bill” entered this stately congested High School and annex four years ago from the Gooch School. His ever ready smile and gracious manners fast won him popularity among the boys and of course the girls. He has been an active and loyal member in the different clubs he joined, especially the Hi-Y, being elected corresponding secretary during his senior year. ''Bill” can make the violin sing well and he has shown us also that he has some talent in acting. He proved to be a very handsome negro in “The Crisis.” We hear that he is going to “Tech” next year to study to be an architect. Keep track of him classmates, it may be the style some day to live in a Barry bungalow.
