NVC vvould hate to say how many hours he and lack Meiners have spent trying to translate dilhcult German passages. It is this subject that causes him to stay up far into the night. In tennis lim is almost as good as in polo, and warm. sunny spring days hnd him hammering drives all over his opponents court. In pinglpong he was unofficial champion of Raymond and is among the best players in School. Scouts from Princeton have convinced lim - that he should play polo for Old Nassau next year.

Qefxkgkl 'ag f: 6-3-se e 'T QQ CJ 'W Dick isa shining example of the old adage that actions speak louder than words. He's not a great talker. but there's magic in his lips when they touch the mouthpiece of his trombone. Many a concert of the Musical Clubs has been featured with his solos, and with true versatility he is an important member of Bob Cushir1g's Swing Band. Long to be remembered are their renditions of Getting Senti- mental with Dick and his trombone in a solo role. - Our Fifth Form being very large, Dick started the year rooming in Dawes. He has had chances to move, but never has, which shows how quickly and com- pletely he settles himself into a society, and how con- genial he is with boys of other forms, This has been his only year at Lawrenceville, yet he has 'l gained no little athletic achievement as halfback on the Filth Form soccer team. ln the important process of studying, Dick has seemed to favor chemistry as worthy of much of his time. He has spent many hours with Al Blake in the lab without. were glad to say, blowing up anything. Q4-.1 Um' Iimzdrezf Sixlewz
