28 THE ENFIELD ECHO harmony is entirely made up for on account of the way he executes the air. He executes it all right. Leona Hastings, while on a tour through South Africa, met a foreign missionary who considered her his ideal. He always detested gossipy women, and as Leona showed no signs of being a gossip, he considered himself a very lucky man. The Veribest Company has started to produce other things than “Veribest” canned goods.

Under his admin- istration the school led the state in athletics. “Come see the heavyweight champion.” This is a poster that can be seen on billboards in all parts of the United States. This champion of two hemispheres, I learned, was my classmate, Pinney.
