William Grimston Mead Bill Amherst—Entered 48—Varsity Soccer 48, 49, 50; Varsity Basketball 49, 50; Glee Club 48, 49, 50; Choir 49, 50; Quartette 48, 49; Spanish Club 48, Vice-Pres. 49, Treas. 50; Octet 50; Debating Club 50; Times 50; Yearbook 50. Ever since Bill started reading Galsworthy, he has relinquished old favored pastimes such as corridor basketball and soccer for such sophisticated pursuits as campaigning for Amherst, sketching homely scenes, and constructing Math 4 polyhedrons. The once neglected talents have been used more seriously on the basketball court, on the quartette stage, in the limelight doing realistic impersonations. Coleman Charles Channing Moser Chan” University of Connecticut—Entered 49—Glee Club 49, 50; Rifle Club, 49, 50; French Club 50; Dramatic Club 50; Current Affairs 50. Amiable Chan,” who never has a harsh w'ord for anyone is without a doubt the best craftsman in the school. Nuthatch spends most of his time in the shop where he assembles his many devices and contraptions which vary from a rowboat to stage scenery. Chan was a vital factor in the successful production of the Monkey s Paw, for the scenery was almost entirely his work. 25

Leonard Franklin McCollum, Jr. Mac” Southern Methodist University—Entered 48—Varsity Football 49, 50; Varsity Track 49, 50; Glee Club 49, Vice Pres. 50; Spanish Club 49, Vice. Pres. 50; Rifle Club 49, 50; Photography Club 49, 50; Times 50; Current Affairs 50. Nothing could exemplify Bull Moose more completely than his home state of Texas. Mac is as big, broad, brash, loud, warm and expansive as the Lone Star State; he summons the steers of the corridor with his sonorous conch; his dress is, of choice, size 14 boots and a ten-gallon hat; he is as effervescent as the giant oil wells; and on matters like SMU, getting across the shot-circle fast, or contact lenses, he filibusters as over-poweringly as Sam Rayburn. Albert Henry Manchester Albie Hamilton—Entered 48—Glee Club 48, 49, 50; Photography Club Pres. 48, 49, 50; Dramatic Club 50; Debating Club 50; Times 48, 49, 50; Yearbook 48, 49; Advertising Editor and Business Manager of Yearbook 50. Where's Manchester?” How many miles has this cry rung out over the sixth form corridor? This, in itself, tends to tell you something of Manny’s” tireless energy and ability as an organizer. Camera addict incomparable, A1 has also been business manager of the Trinitannus and a plugger in hockey and tennis. His unfailing good nature whenever the victim of a form prank should carry him far at Hamilton. 24

Warren Francis O'Donnell Warren” Harvard—Entered 50—Varsity Football, Co-captain 50; Varsity Hockey 50; Varsity Baseball 50; Dramatic Club 50; Year Book 50. O'D's titanic struggles with Strangler Frate” were but one instance of his driving and tenacious spirit. This quality should carry the football co-captain far in college athletics and—who knows—perhaps a coaching career. Jordan Charles Ploch Ace” North Carolina State—Entered 48—Varsity Swimming 48, 49, Captain 50; Rifle Club 49, 50; Photography Club 50; Spanish Club 49. Having known Jordan for four years, we have come to admire most among his qualities a resigned, platonic, deadpan acceptance of the many trials which arise in school, chief among them a daily demolition of his room. His deep attachment to many friends, Manasquan, his Johnson 16, and Vaughn Monroe—not to mention the challenge of scaling the ivied walls—have been truly inspiring. 26
