This is offset by the insight derived from obscurity in members of the Sophomore Class. Yet, still they must employ their skills and apply themselves to face the terror of an ever changing world ahead.

As a student at RCC was nominated for Man of Distinction, he maintained a good grade point average, and he held down a job as a sign painter. His future plans are to become a commercial artist and to get married — not necessarily in that order.
