WILLIAM P. STOKEY (STOKES)...CANTON, OHIO.
Serg't, B.A,; Football team '98
"So I have seen a King on chess,
With here and there a pawn."
Shy as a lily and modest as a daisy. For years has been persecuted and beckoned by the girls, who love him and worship him from afar. He has persisted in a seclusion which suggests but one solution -- prospective and early matrimony: the idea being that his infinite love is not for many sweethearts, but for only one. Is getting bald and will very probably die of embarrassment.
