It is unhealthy to work Mike is one of the few students here at Baylor who can relate the effects of high octane gasoline3 the advan- tages of a four-barrel carburetorg the three easiest ways to fail Spanishg the quickest, safestg and shortest way to the store3 and the consequences of having a jalopy in town. In Mike's two short years at Baylor he has won many friends and close companions with his smile and warm countenance. Although he does not lead the world scholastically, his spirit will carry him steadily toward success in later life. Mike's ability to succeed in the field in which he is interested was evidenced by his outstanding success on the cinders. His rapid improvement was delightful to the eyes of the one and only Coach Rike. Our sole regret is that we knew you such a brief time. Mike, we wish you good fortune and Godspeed in all your undertakings.

If I lose my honor, I lose myself. Buddy did not wait long after his arrival at Baylor to start accumulating honors. He entered in the eighth grade, and the next year he was elected president of his class, an honor which he has received regularly ever since. Not only is he popular but he is an excep- tional athlete as well. We are running out of space, so read his honors and draw your own conclusions. THE CLASS

These are the cadets chosen by their class- mates to be the leaders of the respective classes. They are carefully selected for their outstand- ing qualities of leadership and fairness to others. Elections are held at the beginning of the school year. Nominations are made from the floor, and each boy casts one vote for each of- ficer. In order to be eligible to hold a class of- fice, a cadet must pass his school work and be of commendable character. The officers conduct the business affairs of their classes and make any necessary reports to the headmaster. The KLIF KLAN salutes these exceptional young men.

REESE EDWARD AUSTIN, II 292 Patterson MEMPHIS. TENNESSEE Entered. 19561 Guide Sergeant, 1957: Christian Forum. 1956- '57g Glee Club, 1956-'583 Varsity Soccer Manager. 1957-'58: Letterman, 19583 Letterman! Club, 1958. His fancy lost in pleasant dreams. Quiet, friendly, and industrious are the words which describe Reese best. As soon as he arrived on the hill two years ago from Memphis, Reese began making friends and has been doing so ever since. This year he ably helped with the management of the soccer team, which went on to take the Mid-South championship. Academically, Reese has maintained above average grades during his stay here at Baylor. Reese, when you leave Baylor and go your separate way, may good luck follow you. OF 1958 BENTON LEE ANDERSON Box 145 WOODSTOCK, GEORGIA Entered. 19563 Guide Sergeant. 19583 Guerry Rifles, 19585 Best Drilled Platoon, 19573 Midget Football, 1957-583 Swimming, 1958. Nothing is more simple than greatness: indeed, to be simple is to be great. Two years ago from the 'tChigger Hills of Georgia, Benton came to Baylor. He has been Woodstock's lone representative on the Hill. Barney, as he is sometimes called by his friends, struck a tremendous blow for freedom last spring when he escorted his date home after the Spring Formal. Such sacrificial acts as this have endeared him to the hearts of many. Seriously, though, Barney's friendly manner will long be remem- bered at Baylor. We wish for you the best that life can offer, Barney. E IORS
