Bob 'Tis just to give applause where 'tis deserved Bob, Sl1rewsbury's star football athlete, is also one of the best sportsmen in Worcester County. His work on our football team certainly helped us gain many victories. Maybe it's his curly blond hair as well as his football laying that makes him so pleasing to the girls. Bob certainly is a good example of what perseverance can do to every promising athlete.
