Funk, Melvin Cristy

Portrait of Melvin Cristy Funk as a senior in high school.

This photograph was used in the 1925 Strasburg High School yearbook. The yearbook staff wrote this about Melvin:

"Of all the members of our class "Pinto" is unquestionably the one who possesses the keenest sense of humor and is the most optimistic. He never fails to see humor in everything and treats none of his work with undue levity, and in spite of the fact that the word "study" means to him "Nausea", he manages to give a good account of himself in his studies as well as athletics and dramatics, and affords us a good laugh by his humorous sayings and unfailing wit. From SHS Melvin is going to take up newspaper work."
