Edwin Denby, Jr. '35
Lucky Bag
From the 1935 Lucky Bag:
EDWIN DENBY, JR.
Detroit, Michigan
"Ned"
A DENSE cloud of smoke and a magazine with a picture of a train on it! Blow the smoke away and you will find Ned at his favorite pastime, smoking a pipe and reading Railroad Stories. Every man that smokes a pipe loves the outdoors. Get Ned to tell you of his auto excursions into the wilds of Michigan. A trip to China gave Ned his first taste of the sea, and he liked it so well he deserted the wilds for the Academy. Here, a lot of hard work on the Trident and the stage gang has taken much of his time. An enviable personality and the desire to do things have gained him many friends and much success.
Stage Gang 4, 3, 2, 1. Stage Manager 1. Trident Society 3, 2, 1. President 1. 2 Stripes.
