Big George , as he is universally known to his classmates, will long be known for his antics in school and his performance on the athletic tield. One of Mr, Buffunfs veteran historians, George might often have been seen thoughtfully dozing off to sleep in the middle of an exciting lecture on Cuber. His famous tall stories, especially on the subject of tisliing, will go down in Pingry's history as unparalleled. Georges brutal line play is stamped in the hearts of all opponents he faced during his three-year span on the grid- iron. Socially, George is the boy with the sleek black Dodge and the smooth singing voice which the girls just can't resist. To George the word Hfuturel' means Babson, where he is sure to make a hue record. -...aa
