WILLIAM PHILLIPS Once in a while a class is lucky enough to have a born leader in its midst, a boy who is hardworking, vitally interested in all activities, trustworthy, efficient, and intelligent. The Class of '56 found such a leader in Bill Phillips. Bill came to Lakeside as a freshman and has been building an amazing record of contributions to his school ever since. ln recognition of his leadership he has been elected to the following offices: secretary-treasurer of the Ski-club, President of the Drama Club, secretary of his sophomore class, secretary of his senior class, secretary of the Whitcomb Club, for three terms a senate member, and for three years a Dorm Council representative. This year Bill was president of the Dorm Council, probably the toughest iob in the school. However, Bill has not limited his abilities to extracurricular activities, He has found time to participate on the ski team, win a letter in varsty baseball, and be captain of the junior varsity basketball team. He has also played one year of Whitcomb football, basketball, and baseball. Bill has excelled in scholarship as well. He has won the Gold Star every quar- ter he has been here and has almost always been on the honor roll. Bill is at the top of his class. He is a member of the Cum Laude society. In addition to all these things, Bill has found time to serve on the library and chapel committees as well as to act and to work on the stage crew for the school plays. It is certainly with iustification that Bill has twice been awarded the Presidents Medal and once the Silver Medal for the underclassroom who has con- tributed most to Lakeside. College Choice: Stanford. Will. I leave the presidency of the Dorm to anyone willing to argue with Bob Spock about senior privileges. Page 20 GEORGE V. POWELL, JR. George ioined the Class of '56 as a freshman and immediately took his place as a leader. We all remember affectionately his sea-lawyer speeches explaining why we could or could not do something. Despite these occasional outbursts, George did his part in school activities. George served in the Senate and on the Athletic Council. He came to full bloom in his senior year as vice-president of the Ski club, treasurer of the Student Body, vice-president of the Parson club, and Editor of the NUMIDIAN. With his imaginative and active mind George was able to innovate ideas in each of these offices and carry them through. On the athletic field George excelled. He won two letters for his performance in track, participating' in that sport for all four of his years at Lakeside. As a senior he worked hard on the varsity football team, winning his letter. He also participated on the ski team, played three years of club football, one year of basketball for the Parsons, and was on the rifle team for two years. George has won the Gold Star for six quarters and been on the honor roll for seven, an indication of his scholastic ability. College Choice: Princeton. Will: l will the mile to anyone dumb enough to take it.
