Being ab1e to run so rapid, I might have been very good on the trackteam or at soccer. A11 the meets wou1d come on the same day so I hadto choose just one and baseba11 was my choice. One time they neededsomeone to run the hundb1ack yard dash in the sectiona1 meet at Geneva.as there was no baseba11 game that day, they showed me how to use thestarting b1ock and away we went! I came in third p1ace about threefeet way behind the winner so there is no te11ing what I cou1d have donewith training and practice.

C1arence bought me a c1oth jacket and I wore it a11 four months of highschoo1. By the time I graduated the cuffs and co11ar were a1most wornoff. These were the months fo11owing the Depression and there was1itt1e money for c1othes. I remember getting my first suit forgraduation. It was Oxford Grey and cost $26. I bought it myse1f andmade the mistake of getting it too teeny and it was outgrown in abouta month.
