Never a dull moment when Elsie appears on the scene, full of humor and always ready to lend a helping hand. She is fond of sports and is a menacing goalie to the opposing team in any hockey game.

It’s rather difficult to enter a strange school in one’s senior year according to this handsome humorous fellow from South Jersey.
