Beside his fabled dislike for shoes, the Hawaiian seems to dislike his wrestling opponents. He is generally regarded as a sure point-winner for the Crane matmen. Pluck- er,s bulging biceps also served him well on the gridiron, where he was a mainstay at the end position. His nickname, Plucker, derived from his passion for the ukelele, was tacked onto him this year by his many friends. Our husky Hawaiian has left his mark on Cranbrook, just as he has on opposing athletic teams.
