' l+'s hard fo imagine Barnard wilhouf Wally. His ear-io- iar grin and conslanl flow of queslions on any and every lopic will nof be forgofien for many years 'io come. Wally ancleared himself fo our hearls from lhe firsf momenl' lhai ie landed in our midsl, back in his Freshman year. We :ould hardly bear il' when Big Wal was absenl-+he lar- 'ible calm and quiel' nearly drove us mad. One of lhe class socialiles, Wally never missed a Barnard dance. and never broughi lhe same dale fwice. His nu- Tierous conversafions wilh Adler on +he Modern American Girl were remarkable for 'lheir exiensive knowledge based on aclual experience. ln addilion lo being a social whiz, Wally was a mainsfay of The year's foolball feam. His hard work ai running guard deserves much praise. Wally has also shone as a Busker, ireacling lhe boards like a professional in his Junior and Senior years. Wally inlends fo enler eiiher Syracuse or Bales. No mal- 'rer which he chooses, he will leave dozens of friends behind him.
