Eddy was football manager, manager of the minstrels, circulation manager of The Pennant, etc., etc. He is not a bad fellow, and is the Record's High School reporter. For that reason we like to see him argue with Wayne Hall. Panek likes to argue, anyway.

She is always rushed to death, but just the same she always has time to laugh, and also get a drink at the fountain.

He believes in a vigorous policy in whatever he does: for instance, the rifle team and the Senior Play.
