9 AYMON deROUSSY deSALES New York City, New York A'Count - short for Francois Ber- tron Raoul Aymon deRoussy deSales - is one of the most determined sleep- ers in the shady nook of F.V.S. Count started the year off with a bang by arriving late to school this fall. The fact that he came from the big city of New York intrigued all, and he quickly became one of the class. This past fall the Babe partook in the riding program. When winter rolled around, our hero became one of the numerous intramurals. ln the spring he also took great interest in the Sun Tan Team, and before long was appointed co-captain. The Frog achieved his letter in the sport by spending forty hours at sun basking, and is working for his hero's badge which requires sixty hours in the sun. This spring Aymon has given his firm 'Q na W 4 support to the betterment of the Work Crew. In the field of journalism, the Count is outstanding. He is on the staff of the school paper, The Dane, and aspires to be New York's leading reporter. If the Count settles down and makes a goal for himself, we believe he will attain it and lead a successful career. We all wish him the best of luck. Favorite Sayings: Watch it, I'll hit ya! Are you all right? I don't know. Nicknames: Count, Scurvy, Frog, Pasty-face. College: Colorado University.

PHILIP GARDINER COX Des Moines, Iowa The first time we met Phil was in September of our Fifth Form year. He arrived from Des Moines, fol- lowed by a small truck-load of elec- tronic equipment. ln the spring of that year, he was one of the instigators of the Penrose Society of Iazz. In our Senior year, Phil has demon- strated his sense of humor in many ways. When our radios were on the blink, we thought it was someone us- ing an electric shaver: actually it was only Fabulous Phil exercising his elec- tronic ability. Phil's interests have been divided between the Work Crew, track and riding. He gave the latter up after discovering that there were no motor- cycles connected with the HHorse Cavalry. When the spring term ar- rived, Phil tried the track team, but soon joined the Work Crew. Last autumn he again joined Ed Bryant's crew: since then he has become one of Ed's stalwart supporters. Among Y Q, -3.- 1 -? 13 . other extracurricular activities, Phil has helped Mr. Kitson with Down in the Valley, and this year played the Counsel in Trial By Iury. He has amused us constantly with tales of how he got that oversized scar on his thumb, and of his first electronic ac- complishment -- converting an old radio to a transmitter. This year he has again shown his ability by repair- ing the form's radios and vics. As Phil returns to the Land of Corn, followed by his electronic devices, the Class of '53 wish him all the luck in the worldg for he will certainly be a success in whatever occupation he chooses. Favorite Saying: Foo. Nickname: Chance. College: University of Iowa.

IAMES ALLEN DONALDSON Dodge Center, Minnesota During january of 1953, we were graced with the addition of a big red- head. Iim entered F.V.S. as a Sixth Former, and in a few short weeks adapted himself to the school routine. ln the winter term he devoted his spare time to the Work Crew. Mr. Kitson discovered that lim had a good bass voice and drafted him for the op- eretta. During his stay here jim did an amazing amount of riflery with Mr. Brown on the Target Range. Finally jim decided to give his athletic abili- ties to the school and joined the var- sity baseball team. He claims that the only thrill he had at Fountain Valley occurred when he was injured in the eye. This little in- cident resulted in a ten-day stay in the hospital, but he returned to us none the worse for wear. jim tells us that he is a man of the outdoors: he has already shown us his skill at shooting, and we do not doubt Tl V 7 him at all. He spends the major por- tion of his town permissions at the movie houses. His dormitory activi- ties consist mainly of his residing in the common room and of listening to the soft, slow music of his victrola. jim has done quite well at his stud- ies and is an ardent worker. He has made many friends with his likable personality and fun-loving nature dur- ing his stay at Fountain Valley. We are sure that jim will succeed in life and we wish him good luck in what- ever he does. Favorite Sayings: What will l say? 'ALet's go bowl a line. Nicknames: The Red Menace, A'Red.
