He is one of those calm, serene lads whom nothing bothers; but why should anything bother ‘Sully,’ we ask, when he is blessed with a clear, quick intellect which keeps his name a perm- anent resident on the Honor Roll. He excels, also, when it comes to assisting in the affairs of the class of ’31; he never fails to have a keen interest in all the activities of the school, and is always placed on a committee which needs workers. His agreeable disposition has added many names to his al- ready long list of friends. Junior Prom, Senior Reception, and Year Book Committees. “Sully” is coming back for a P.
