This is Leslie H. Perry's fifteenth year as a teacher and coach. Mr. Perry attended Pomona College, where he re- ceived his B.A., and from there he went on to post-graduate work at Claremont Graduate School. Although Mr. Perry is master of the Eighth Grade Math class, he is better known in his capacity of Webb School Athletic Director. His forte is coaching Varsity Foot- ball, an occupation he pursues vigorously dur- ing the first' two months of school. In his many years of coaching, Mr. Perry has shown that athletic excellence comes from work and concentration. In addi- tion to his athletic and scholastic responsibili- ties, he is the Sopho- more Class Advisor. Mr. Perry was most often found around the cam- pus in football pants driving the gray whale, or down in his office in the gym, enioying one of his Havanas. Every Senior dreams of going to college, and it is the responsibility of John S. Iversen, Jr., to fulfill this dream by one means or another. He has worked long hours to determine for what college each student is best suited. He has shepherded his fold through the painful processes of applica- tion. Mr. Iversen is well prepared for the rigors of his iob, for he receiv- ed his Bachelor of Arts Degree at Yale in 1948 and his Master of Arts Degree at the University of North Carolina two years later. He has been a relatively permanent fixture on campus since 1953, with the excep- tion ofa year's soiourn in the East in 1957. At present Mr. Iversen lives off-campus with his wife and two children. He is currently supervi- sor ofthe Hobby Shop and teacher of Ameri- can History. N

Frederick R. Hooper be- lieves in integrity of the mind. Since 1933, he has sought to share his beliefs with faculty members and to instill them into Webb stu- dents. In his soft-spoken way, he has managed to bring education and the desire for learning to the students he has taught. He came to Webb from Claremont Graduate School and Pomona College, where he received his B.A. This year he taught Algebra ll and Trigonometry, plus a special course in Advanced Placement Mathematics. He also serves on the Executive Committee, and is known to students for C. S. F. lists and Study Hall charts. He has al- ways a willing smile and a friendly word for every student, and is ready and eager to give help when asked. He is one of the most respect- ed and well-liked mas- ters on campus. l Anyone concerned with the fine arts, dogs, rifle shooting or public speaking can always receive friendly bits of advice from Ramsay L. Harris. Among his many endeavors Mr. Harris has written al- most all the school songs. The annual foot- ball poem mirrors his skill in verse and sub- tler forms of wit. Mr. Harris received his B.A. degree in 1929 from Colgate University and went on to receive his M.A. degree in T947 at the University of Cal- ifornia. His peripatetic curiosity has taken him to some eight colleges for desired courses, Since he came to Webb in 1945, Mr. Harris has taught many subiects, and at the present time he is teaching Latin sections A, I, ll. For many years he has been Freshman Class Advisor and has instill- ed the spirit of Webb into the incoming stu- dents. And it is not sur- prising to see tears come to the eyes of the graduating class as his Farewell Song is sung at Commencement.
