When we were freshman, Chet was the pride of the outdoor track class, but unfortunately he has not been able to beat any records as yet. However he has been a plugger, and a hard worker on the board, as well as in classes, and is managing to get through with us safely. We don't see a deuce of a lot of Chet but we know that he is here in classes and a regular attendant at the gym, and when he has those two thing to worry about, why should one think of other things? We take pleasure in wishing him the best of luck in whatever he does.
