A very con- scientious student, he has preserved a place of good standing throughout his four-year stay.

Jim contributed greatly to the Schools extra-Curricular activities, being a mem- ber of the Red and Gray Staff for two years, ob- taining a four-year spot in the Glee Club, and in the Camera Club. Jim sang in the Choir, showed his original talent in freehand drawing, and be- came Assistant Editor of the Stray Shot as a Senior. JOHN EROSCH SKILLMAN, JR. K1NG's COLLEGE, ENGLAND JACKSON YALE Jack came to The Gunnery in the fall of 1949 armed with a quick smile and a perpetual eager- ness for new friends and broader horizons.
