"TOM" is a lovable lad, full of fun, and smiling always. From 'way back in 1921, when he first entered college, "Tom" has been one of the most popular men in the class, attracting male and female alike by his happy, go'lucky air and his cheerful friendliness. Good looks and a sweet disposition are not "Tom's" only fine qualities, how, ever. As captain of "B" company, he showed the traits of leadership and of drawing the best from his men. The officials of the Third Corps selected him as a representative on the area rifle team, which was sent to Camp Perry. He made all the class teams and his nerve and grit earned him a place on the Fresh, man team of '23. He is a good student, a tireless worker, and the class radio wizard. "Tom's" foremost qualities-his earnestness in all undertakings, his happy nature in all circumstances, and his unusual gift of making friends, may be summed us in three words: indefatigable, irrepressible, irresistible.
