In his spare time, good-natured Bill enjoys sports, reading, fish- ing, and just listening to the radio. His natural easy-going manner makes him a welcome participant of all our class func- tions. After hnishing school, Bill would like to travel to South America where he will be able to put into practice his knowl- edeg of the Spanish language.
