Dick Rodbury Dick Rodbury was thc third member of Lakesideis intellectual tri- umvirate. He came to Lakeside from Queen Anne in his freshman year. At first nobody paid much attention to this shy Queen Anne boy, but in his sophomore year he was elected to the Senate. The following year he became junior class president As a senior Dickis time was pretty well filled. In addition to his duties in the Senate he was editor of the Tatler. He spent most of his spare time work- ing on some mechanism he liked to call a car. Bob Rotton Bob Rotton first set foot on the campus as a seventh grader, mak- ing his stay the third longest in the senior class. For some time his major problem was becoming accustomed to the inevitable puns on the basis of his name. His smiling face was consistently evident in all types of school functions. He won frosh-soph letters in baseball and football and was numbered among the wingmen on the ,48 var- sity. His dorm notes added considerable spark to the Tatler. Warner Scheyer The shy country boy from Puyallup, Warner was a capable athlete in three varsity sports. He won two letters in football, playing a good game at center. Warner also was a member of the varsity bas- ketball and baseball teams. In the social world he was chairman of last yearis Junior Prom, which was a great success. If Warner used the knowledge he acquired in chemistry this year he should become one of the nation's outstanding glass benders. Tom Symons ' Tom Symons came to Lakeside in the fall of 1944. His seven-passen- ger Buick solved many a transportation problem during his last two years. In his senior year he did an extremely efficient job as basket- ball manager. He was a hard-working and capable student and acquired a very respectable number of Gold Stars. 10

Paul M ountcastle Paul Mountcastle came to Lakeside as a junior, Raymond's sole rep- resentative in the study body. Paul's hobbies were soon obvious- bees and Hudsons, and he proved himself an authority on both. As a senior he became increasingly active in the social life of the school, and he put in many hours of labor decorating the gym for dances. Not always a serious student, he managed to confuse his fellows in senior math by his high grades in solid geometry. Jerry Petram In his two and one-half years at Lakeside Jerry Petram did not acquire a reputation as the most garrulous senior of the class. He was proud of his Ford station wagon and was always happy to dem- onstrate the effectiveness of the Columbia rear end. Cutside of school he was an active Sea Scout although he was inclined to put studies ahead of activities. He turned out for track, and played cen- ter for the Parsons HBH quintet. Graham Pritchard When Graham Pritchard first came out of the frozen wastes of Can- ada he was under the impression that football was a backward form of soccer. He soon learned the truth, however, and in his senior year was a starting guard on the Lion squad. One of the chosen few who passed the Naval Exams, Priteh was a good student and successfully withstood the rigors of Senior Math and Chemistry. Ron Rickles Ron Rickles came to Lakeside as an eighth grader, and he imme- diately distinguished himself as an orator by winning the lower school Lincoln Forum. Having established this reputation, he left Lakeside and went to Garfield for three years. While at Garfield he became noted for his tennis playing and journalistic efforts. Ron returned to Lakeside in his senior year to become sports editor of the Tatler. He was a sharp tennis player, and everyone agreed he would have made the team if he had been eligible. 9

Charles Stewart Charles Stewart entered Lakeside two years ago from Ellensburg -a fact that no one was ever allowed to forget. He had a wide vari- ety of activities, and managed to get in a few hunting trips when he was not busy getting 4LA,s,'. He was a two-year letterman on the foot- ball team, and the star center for the Bw Brownell basketball team. Because of his popularity and ability he was elected student body president and secretary of the dorm council. He was a reporter for the Tatler and co-editor of this ycar's Numidiau. J olm Vanderspek John Vanderspek was Lakeside's Model A fanatic. The morning arrival of his 'thot rodw fwhen it was runningj always drew atten- tion. Later in the year, he built an A-V8 which was outstanding. 'gSpec, a scientist at heart, did his best work in physics and chem- istry. He was one of the school's most promising devotees of the scientific method. The Tatleris neat organization was the result of his skill, and the student body public address system wouldnit have run without him. Bob Zoffel was last in the class roll call, but certainly not the least of its members. His laugh first echoed across the campus as a junior, but Bob earned real recognition as an athlete. His pitching sparked the baseball team for two years. A dependable Lion back in foot- ball season, he starred for the Whitcolllbs in club basketball. In spite of his loyalty to West Seattle, Bob was active in all school affairs. He was a member of the Senate, secretary of the Whitcombs, and co-chairman of the Shipwreck dance, one of the most successful in recent years. 11
