Dick is a likeable fellow despite his chronic- ally pessimistic attitude. His ease in making friends may be attributed to his sparkling per' sonality. In his easy going manner he has en' deared himself to everyone. Dick attacked his studies this year with an unforeseen zest. Knuckling down to work since September, he has set a good example for his classmates. How' ever, he is not only a connoisseur of studies but also an accomplished football player. He played center for the past two years for the Green and White. Dick's savoir faire has made him indisf pensable in class affairs. We are proud to say that he has enlisted in the Navy. Lots of luck!

His inf nate politeness and courtesy have made him a pleasant companion both of the faculty and the student body. In his quiet way Duke has played an important part in the administration of class activities. Though hurt before the actual playf ing season, he received his football monogram as a token of appreciation for his fine spirit and sportsmanship. He also uncovered his talents in basketball and baseball, On the diamond his pitching prowess was a well recognized fact. If he matches his enviable record at Archmere, in the coming years he will be a sure Hre success.

Jim is a lad who might very well find his cue for life in Shakespeare's Hamlet or Lear: he has built himself quite a reputation for clowning and caprice, yet underneath this surf face there is quite a wealth of potentialities. For Jim is an uncommonly fine student of English -as much of this book is testimonial-and, more rare, a keen observer of life. He held a vital position on the basketball court, where he amassed a large number of points, and then turned in a very successful season on the base' ball diamond at first base. If he really makes use of his talents, he promises to have an out' standing career at the Wharton School of Finance during the year before going into the Navy.

Joe for four years has been an indispensable member of our class. His congenial attitude puts him near the top in popularity. Because of his many redeeming features, it is hard to choose an outstanding mannerism. The proof of our confidence in his leadership is expressed by the many oihces he held while at school. None other had more of a hand in the dispensing of class affairs. His election as captain of the football team was the climax of three years of stellar play. To include all of his achievements would necessitate more space. Let it suffice to say that joe has all the essential qualities and abilities necessary for the attainment of success. THOMAS M.
