ANTHONY GAMBLE BONFORTE Colorado Springs, Colorado Quietly entering the Second Form in 1948, Anthony Bonforte began what proved to be a very eventful program at F.V.S. His athletic career began rather inauspiciously because he stuck mainly to riding throughout his initial year. Returning as a Third Former, Tonis roomed with MacVeagh. Again Anthony chose riding as an ac- tivity and by this time had proved himself to be an adept horseman. Bonforte spent the greater part of his Fourth Form year at the Choate School, but returned to Fountain Val- ley to begin the second-to-last lap of his high school training. During this year Anthony began to blossom forth as a promising football player. He went out for hockey and participated actively in the recreational section of that sport. In the spring he went out for Gymkhana. Outside of athletics, Tonis helped out the Glee Club as a tenor. Rooming with Tittle - an arrange- ment which has turned out very well 12227. ffl fx f :fs YQ fwlglgg ll- 7-T: '11 --Anthony began his year in fine spirit. His aggressiveness on the football team merited him a letter - an honor which he earned by dint of much hard work on the gridiron. During the spring term, he went out for Track. Tony deserves a lot of credit for his diligence in, and loyalty to, the thinclads - an up-and-coming group who are working hard to be- come a fine team. Anthony's cheerful sense of ,humor has made him quite popular among his classmates, and we all vsfishthim the best of luck in years to come. Favorite Sayings: 'fShe's gonrfa' come up this summer! Hey Tittlel Turn out that lousy light, and let's hit the sack! Nicknames: Tonis, A'Tonis the Bonus. College: University of Colorado. Colorado College.

THOMAS ANTHONY BOHNEN' Winnetka, Illinois Tom Bohnen came to Fountain Valley School in the fall of 1951 as a Fifth Former. Hailing from Chica- go, he found the climate a bit different in Colorado. The first few weeks were strange for Tom, but in a short time he was looked on by his classmates as an asset to the school. ln his first year Bo-No partici- pated in basketball and baseball. With his six-one of bones, he found that a center spot would be his bid to fame in basketball. Throughout the basketball season, and even after he had earned his letter, baseball was all that he would talk about. ln the spring term, Tom worked his heart out on the diamond, and in a short time found himself alternating between center field and pitcher. He had a few rough games when on the mound, but did an outstanding job in his center-field spot. After receiving varsity letters in both baseball and basketball, he was voted into the Varsity Club, in which he served as secretary during his senior year. l ,J J! Qi When Tom returned to Fountain Valley in 1952 as a Sixth Former, he continued in his sports activities. He was high bucketman at right forward in basketball, and switched from cen- ter field to second base on the dia- mond. Besides taking an active part in athletics, Bo-No was chosen to be head of the common room, and Sports Editor of the Year Book. Tom has worked hard on his studies in his two years at F.V.S. and has earned a high position in the class's academic standing. We all feel that Tom is an out- standing fellow, and know that he will go far in the future. The best of luck to you in your life to come, Bo-No! Favorite Sayings: That's a dan- dy, All righty, Let's play ball, Aren't we all? Nickname: Bo-No. College: Pomona College.

DANIEL PATTERSON CHARLTON Denver, Colorado In the middle of our Second Form year, Dan Charlton joined the class of '53. Since Dan was from Denver, and soon made many friends, the Third Form saw him back, as good as ever. Dan's football talents were helpful to the Pup football team that year. While living in the hermitage the next year, Dan lent his bass voice to the halls of the dormitory. Groucho, as he was then called, played Pup football again: but was elevated to the Varsity later in the year. He served efficiently on the Dance Committee, and was active in getting dates for his form- mates. The Fifth Form year saw Dan making both the Varsity football and baseball teams, and earning a letter in both. Dan did a good job on the Stu- dent Council that year, and again served on the Dance Committee, In the Sixth Form, Dan settled down to the serious job of getting into ? rw x ' wus. 3. college. He chose a Southern military college and made good grades to in- sure his entrance there next year, Dan played football and lettered again, As hockey season rolled around, he don- ned the pads to play a promising game in the nets for the Danes. In the an- nual operetta, Trial By Iury, Dan sang in the chorus of jurymen. Again this year, he was on the Dance Committee, and, as usual, did an outstanding job.
