Gen- erous, affable, warm, he succeeds in bringing true companionship wherever he may go, In addition to being a scholarship student of keen intellect, George has received the enviable reputation of being a master of swing and a connoisseur of modern jazz records. Well known for his write-ups of school sports, he is quite a sport enthusiast. He literally haunts the Garden and is a real fan, playing every sport as well and as eagerly as he follows it. We all feel sure that with his high qualities, George cannot help but be a success in any field he may enter. FIDES
