Always flashing a happy, self' contented smile, he ls an extremely pleasant person to know and to see. NVlth these attributes, he has won many friends. After his sophomore year, Dave followed his interests to Putnam Technical School, leaving P.H.S. for a while a quieter institution due to the lack of his wit and practical jokes. The world should certainly be a happier place once Dave, with all his friendly and happy characteris- tics, steps into his place in life to accomplish his mission in his own happy manner.
