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

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

Robert Jay Rafelson Rafe Dartmouth—Entered 48—Varsity Football 50; Varsity Swimming 50; Varsity Tennis 48, 49, 50; Varsity Basketball 49; French Club 49, 50; Dramatic Club 50; Current Affairs 50; Times 50; Yearbook 50; Snack Bar 50. Think of Rafe as the olive-skinner Demosthenes posing for a marble statue over two thousand years ago. Ah yes, they laughed at Demosthenes too, but, mouth full of pebbles, he swayed the masses with his dynamic oratory. Bob's intense eagerness in pursuing such noble causes as World Federalism, Aaron Burr's philosophy, and 5000 words of copy for the annual nicely counterbalances his laugh-inducing qualities. Joseph Lee Rice, III Joe” Williams—Entered 49—Varsity Football 49, 50; Varsity Track 49, 50; Varsity Basketball 49; Varsity Hockey 50; Spanish Club 50; Debating Club 50; Times 50; Sports Editor of the Yearbook 50. In his two years at T-P, Joe has been the picture of a well-rounded personality. Serious and applied in studies and atheltics, Katonah is familiar to the Snack Bar clientele and inhabitants of the second-floor-south as a many-sided comedian. 27
