Modest Hussey

Stuyvesant High School, Manhattan, tells a tale of Frank Hussey's refusals to appear at school following the day he ran the hundred yard dash in 9 3/5 seconds, tying the world's record. Hussey was diffident of publicity. He even dodged out of an invitation to be patronized for his accomplishment in City Hall by the Mayor of New York.

Despite his five interscholastic and one world's record, he has not yet succumbed to the glare of the spotlight. Would that America could boast more champions thus fitted for their honors personally as well as physically.
