My eyes are bluegmy hair is dark brown with a few waves. I am six feet tall and weigh around one hundred and fifty pounds. Schools attended. Sadler School, three yearsgWentworth SchooI, eIght years. Activities. F.F.A. member,l954-585 Y.T.H.F.member,l954- 19583 Baseball,l934-58gBasketball 1955-58. Favorite amusements. Basketball comes in handy in the winter time. As for summer,I prefer baseball,and I also like swimming. I enjoy boxing occasionally,and if there is plenty of game I like to hunt, However there is nothing I like bet- ter than to go gigging for bull frogs. By throwing a light in their eyes,you can blind them. Then you must walk up upon them very slowly and stick the gig in themr backs. There is not much fun to be had using a rifle unless you are an unusual ly good shot. ly Favorite Favorite stud . It is hard to choose between Agricul- ture and Ancient History. I like the stories of the past onsf learns in history and the experience one gets in Agriculture. Something Lido fairly well. Early in the fall I like to go out inthe woods and ahoot squirells. If luck is with meg I can kill some. Most interesting experience. I think it was the first time I went gigging. A snake started toward me,and I turned and ran down the creek. I stumbled over a rock and fell in- to a hole of water. As I could not swim,I came very near to drowning. Plans after leaving high school. up to this date,I have not made any plans.
