Poor Jack--if his wife happens to detest puns. While toying with his baneful quips, he manages to make the honor roll, score winning touchdowns against such pushovers as Mercersburg, play shortstop like a big leaguer, and drop winsome smiles in the path of unsuspecting females. Nicknamed "Baby-face", this little boy with a man's intellect and an acrobat's body every day hands the lie to experts who claim there's a lot in a name or a face. Even with those noisome puns, he packs a lot of charm. Affable, gay, smooth, debonair, keen as a new sabre,--that's Jack. Adjutant, 1935
A big smile, frank eyes and a hearty hello in the friendliest manner--that's Jack Orr, Vice-President of the Senior Class of '36. If any measure of prophecy about Jack's future in the world exists in his success at Massanutten, his classmates will one day be proud to say, "There goes Jack Orr. I went to school with him." Personality plus and aggressive initiative unite to form Jack's character into a pleasing and helpful factor of well-being at Massanutten. It might be well to add that Jack was captain of the football team, played on the basketball team, was a swell shortstop and home run hitter, was president of the Jefferson Debating Society and still managed to find time to run up to Mount Jackson quite often. Here's wishing there were more like you! Adjutant, 1936
