He keeps the teachers and his classmates howling with laughter with every other word he says. John is simply droll—no other word could describe him letter. Nevertheless he has his serious moments. He has a small printing outfit for printing is his hobby and John does much printing for the high school. So who could help but be sorry to think of losing him next year.
