JACK HUDDLESTON ... An easy-going guy is “Hud,” but under that quiet manner is a great natural sense of humor that keeps his friends in stitches.

G.A.A. 1. 2. ROBERT JOHNSON . . . Bob’s jovial personality did much to help him win friends both in high school and outside the building. This plus an extra-super smile kept him on top with the seniors and will be a great asset to him in the future. SIDNEY JOHNSON ... A regular personality-boy —that’s our Sid! He understands so well how to get along with people that he might easily be coauthor of “How To Win Friends and Influence People.” Anything but superficial, he is an authority in the fields of athletics, dramatics, speech, and journalism, as well as an unusually accomplished musician. A mature personality, and a quick and ready wit, an ever-bubbling cheeriness—these are Sid.
