Andy is John Q. Labor himself, he just dotes on work and then asks for more. Andy be-gan as a member of our original class and all we old members remember that from the earliest days Andy has burned up the corridors, running about on one errand or another. Living near the school has its drawbacks, but Andy has met them all with that far-famed grin of his. He and the Swede certainly handled the stage managing of our high school plays with the rare skill of professionals. Those same fingers that fixed scenic effects' also tossed a me-an basketball, Andy deserved a place on the high school team but oh wfell. Well, Andy, when you're a famous electrical engineer or contractor, look us up and renew our old acquaintance or rather friendship.
