Meet Millburn's gift to the Class of '-18. Bob has been amazing us with his athletic ability ever since he joined us back in the seventh grade. He earned himself a starting position on the soccer team this fall and then proceeded to prove himself an invaluable member of Mr. Les's basketball team.

Always interested in lishing and hunting, Bob was elected President last year of the Rod and Gun Club and has also been a member of the Rifle Club. On the social side, it has often been said that a party can not be a success Without Bob accom- panied by one of his luscious females. Heres good luck to a swell guy who cant miss.
