On his immediate arrival he captured the position of left tackle on the Varsity football squad where he has been likened to the Rock of Gibraltar. This year Phil also netted the prize position of goalie on the Varsity hockey squad and earned a place on the Varsity golf squad. Phil spent a great deal of time this year commuting between the Biology and Chem. labs as the well worn Hoorboards testi- fy. Phil earned a reputation for his perpetual cheerfulness and has proven himself a diligent student. He has shown remarkable improvement not only on the athletic field but also in the class- room. As he himself says, he might not be beauti- ful or rich, but he is happy.

JAMES HALE III .LE UNCLE JAY lay came to The Gunnery in 1949 as a Sopho- vre and immediately distinguished himself es- :ially in the field of sports.

We sincerely wish ,lay the cess at college that he has enjoyed here at e Gunnery. MATHEW GORRY LEHIGH MAT Although only a two-year man, Mat made a profound impression on all of his classmates through his leadership and sincerity, and most of all perhaps as a result of his combustible sense of humor. A diligent worker, his ability was undermined by the unforseen eruption of a humorous dissertation on any subject, often, to the delight of classmates, turning a slow-moving class into a riot. He played both years here on the Varsity football squad, winning his letter as a Senior, and winning two as a member of Varsity crew. Being a Vice-President of the Gunnery Elders and a ferocious debater in the Politics Club, Mat further rounded out his career by dis- playing his oratorical ability in our mock political convention. He culminated his stay here with a Monitorship in Hurlburt.
