THOMAS W. RICHARDSON Argilla Road Ipswich, Massachusetts Year Entered: 1954 The Mikado 52 Penrose Dorm Committee 6. Varsity Football 5: Work Crew 5, 6: Gymkhana 5, 6. Soon after his arrival at F.V.S. Tom estab- lished himself as a character. Among his pecul- iar traits is his strange aversion to soap and water. His tendency in humor can be seen while he lies on his bed chuckling over some grue- some event. Seriously however, Tom is a per- son who takes everything that comes in good spirit and gets along with everyone. Some of his most common expressions are. Gee, I'm depressed, or l've only got Eve pairs of skis: I need a new pair .... really. D.

His pride in his State, particularly in its basket- ball teams, is surpassed by no one. Hayo has maintained a good scholastic average at Foun- tain Valley and hopes to be admitted to Har- vard next year. He plays a good game of soc- cer, basketball, and tennis.
