Soccer 4g Crew Squad 3, 4, Wrestling 4. Dick did much good work for the Second Century Committee spread- ing the holiday features of The Gunnery to Florida, Hartford, New York, and other places not yet known, After his .lunior year, Dick found that he was no longer able to join in the singing activities of The School as his voice had gone off key. As typing manager of the Gunnery News, Dick often found that he had to make hay while the midnight oil burned. lt was during the warm-up practice for his wrestling activities that Dick learned the niceties of inter-planetary travel at the hands of the Senior Prefect-to Mr. Anderson's questionable delight. Finding the New England ground somewhat harder than Miami Beach, Dick took to soccer rather than football in his Senior year. 38
