Entered 1934 I suppose in a senior write-up one should state the achieve- ments of his school days that have given him the most personal satisfaction. The fact that I've been in the Class of '47 longer than anyone else fills me with pride. Yes, I must confess to the black truth that I flunked Kindergarten!
