What the yearbook said

Although a more or less reserved member of the class, Bill is quite an active part of the "gang" outside of school. He attends the socials and takes an active interest in school affairs. He and his colleague "T" are often seen driving off in the direction of the local Rifle Range in an effort to capture some of those wily targets. His unruffled calm in classes has won him many friends, and he is well deserving of all the good luck and prosperity he will gain in future life.
