“Steve is wise in the ways of man. Socially he is capable of considerable leadership. His rebellious nature is well developed, but never seems to compromise his ability to change minds nor consolidate power with teachers as well as peers.
He is especially well read, very curious, has a fine ear for the English language and reproduces it with originality and intensity.
