20 THE GREEN AND WHITE ILLUSTRATED BIOGRAPHY OF THE SENIOR CLASS JOHN ANDRADE JOHNNIE “The Gypsy Rover” “Johnnie” our Algebra find! Johnnie seines to be one of those chaps who is smart at mathematics. Maybe this is the reason for his success as a ball player. He joined the school team when a sub-freshman and has been a member of it every year since. This year he is captain and hopes to produce a winning team for Colt. Next year he hopes to attend Rates. Good Luck, Johnnie! EDWARD BLACKMAN “The Gypsy Rover” “It Pays to Advertise.” A vivid, forceful personality has our friend “Neddy.” Added to this—a wonderful amount of energy and vitality which has made him a very valuable asset to the senior class. He has taken a very active part in all class functions—acting in both “The Gypsy Rover” and “It Pays to Advertise.” He is also editor-in-chief of the Green and White and manager of the base ball team. Next year he expects to take a course in accounting at Bryant Stratton Business College.
