One Richard Cosby Brown, born September 12, 1937, in San Diego, California, entered the routines of Black-Foxe in the year of famine, 1950. He quickly adapted himself to the daily habitats and obligations of the inmates of the well-known school for waterlogged football players. Wandering around in a cloud lsix feet two and a half inches and 170 poundsl lhe, that is, not the cloudl. Dick soon proved himself to be quite adept in the field of music, which is his main hobby. Progressive music or iazz, that is. He now plays first clarinet in our honorable lor should we say venerablel band and has also taken the sax duties from time to time. DICK BROWN fs 'C Outside the self made smog of Capt. Dowd, Dick likes U.S. History and iournalism. Militarily speaking he hasn't done much, with the exception of a few conduct ribbons. On the athletic side, however, he has a var- sity basketball letter along with a varsity tennis letter. A J.V. letter in basketball also makes its place among the others. Dick has also played varsity baseball which rounds out his sports. Turning to the scholarly side he plans to at- tend Santa Monica City College and take either music or foreign trade. s s 2 ..

Mr. Big enioys the pleasure of such things as the trumpet, cards, old smoking cars llet's see I said that once before didn't I? No matterll, U. S. History, and English. Dave also resides out in the sticks at 10530 Commerce Ave., Tuiunga lWash.l ln 1951 through a small hole, well it was really a large one, in the fence he entered ye olde school grounds. As is the mainstay of the rest of the senior class Dave has within him a good, althought it may come out wrong sometimes, sense of humor, especially about his car. He plans to become a sound effects man when out of high school. And so with his trusty trumpet, his sergeants rating, and letters in bas- ketball and baseball he leaves our dusty but time honored walls. DAVE BACHMAN Mirror, mirror on the wall tell us who's the best trumpet player of them all? Well it could be one of two and David Leon Bachman is one of the two. Weighing 240 lbs. and scraping the clouds at 6 ft. 3 in. he can quite successfully block the entrance to the Physic room, thus causing the rest of the class to eventually break a window trying to get in. Dave crawled out of a trumpet lgad how cornyll on March 10, 1938 in Glendale, Calif. He's a member in good standing of the De Molays and drives or pedals an old smoking car with more inertia than force. l
