ALAN C. BEALL JOHN BARTELS When the Class of '56 added John to its membership, it added humor, serious- ness, enthusiasm, and diligence all in one bundle. John's sense of humor and his subtle wit are perhaps his two outstanding characteristics. His friendly per- sonality has aided him in a dozen different ways while he has been at Lake- side. He has helped his class whenever help was needed, he has been a feature writer for the TATLER, and he has spent many hours of hard work as an out- standing cheer leader. John has been able to instil much of his own enthusiasm in many of us. But one of the most important activities in which he has partici- pated has been the Student Court, his seriousness and honesty have greatly aided in giving the Court a favorable start this year. John has participated in Whitcomb football, basketball, and baseball during his three-year Lakeside career. He was able to arouse his own enthusiasm in his team-mates, and thereby help the morale of the Whitcomb club. He has been a consistent, hard worker, and we are sure that he will be able to practice medi- cine competently when the time comes. College Choice: Brown University. Alan came to Lakeside in his freshman year and has ever since rocked the school with his hot rod enthusiasm, but, although he has given a lot of atten- tion to cars, boats, and girls, he has not neglected athletics, extracurricular ac- tivities, or studies. He has been awarded several Gold Star awards and has been on the honor roll. He was elected vice-president of his class in his iunior year and appointed to the Boarder-Dayboy Committee in his senior year. He has also served as Sergeant-at-Arms of the Whitcomb Club. Al has participated in Whitcomb football for four seasons, Whitcomb baseball for two, and varsity track for one. Alan has also turned out for the ski condition- ing group for two years. But his greatest accomplishment has been his ability to break his leg twice while participating in Lakeside athletic programs. In the spring of his iunior year, Alan retreated to California but returned to complete his senior year at Lakeside. His lively, friendly personality has won him many friends and many compliments. His determination to do his best won him the TATLER rink contest this year for being the greasiest, gaudiest looking person on the campus. But, seriously speaking, Alan's constant effort and deter- mination have made him one of the most outstanding seniors this year, both scholastically and otherwise. We are sure that he will make a good engineer or anything else, once he has put his mind to it. College Choice: University of Washington, Colorado College. Will: I will my prize-winning, conservative dress habits to Mr. Winter! Page l l
