On account of his extreme youth he was placed in the kindergarten in the blockers row. In the natural order of events he ran the gauntlet of the eight grades without any serious mishaps, and during this time he was an active member of the Excelsior Literary Society, and in the School City Government, holding many prominent offices where he has shown much executive ability.
