In every class there are the characters, the ones who enioy humor and fun more than usual. This year there are many characters and one of the more prominent is one Philip Sycip Dee who ap- peared on this world on July 31, 1936, in Manila, Philippines. Although small, five feet five and one hundred and 'forty pounds, Phil more than makes up for his lack of size by his tremendous energy, where fun is concerned. No matter what class he is attending Phil constantly keeps it in stitches with his murderous English and his Phillippine jokes. D is an avid player of golf and his in- terest in basketball. His other interest we will mention since he has so few girls. PHILIP DEE Scholastically Phil takes a great liking to U.S. History and can't understand why poetry has to be memorized since in his words: Come here to get education, not learn poetry! As of the moment he lives at 55 Williams St., Pascey City, Philippines. Since this is his first and last year at B-F Phil hasn't had time to pile up athletic honors. But he has earned a J.V. letter in basketball. Phil's great conflicts with Omar's cat and one Gordon C. have ben vastly publicized. He plans to attend Wheaton College in ll linois and study industrial engineering.

,, ,,.f.f',f.'m,!y, George as he is fondly called by the physics class was born in Casablanca, French Morrocco, on February 16, 1937. Later he moved to his present address in Caracas, Venezuela. George 59 second Coriat stands at five feet seven and weighs l4O pounds. His interests range to airplanes, sports cars, and stamps, while in school his most liked subiects are U.S. History and physics. George's sense of humor comes out blossom- ing in physics as he usually comes up with an array of iokes and ridiculous questions. That is, when he is not asleep. Since this is George's first year at B-F he has no list of honors compiled. But his friendly nature and his tremendous interest in sports cars are well received over the campus. GEORGE CORIAT Most of the time he is usually quiet and re- served but for some unknown reason he man- ages to bring forth his great humor in physics. As if he hasn't traveled enough George plans to attend the College of Aeronautical Engineering of London and obviously someday turn out to be an aeronautical engineer. Much kidding, of course, arose from his de- fending of Venezuela but more arises from the fact that he now lives lget this if you canl Qta El Pedregal, Av. de Las Palmas, Urb. Las Palmas, Caracas, Venezuela. But he takes it all good naturedly and then turns around and chops the person who dished it out.

THORNE GRAY The Black-Foxe swim team if noted for noth- ing else will always be remembered for being al- most completely blind. Thorne Barr Gray, aged 17 has the distinction of being one of the two most blind.

He has also earned a J.V. letter in swimming after having stag- gered into our school in 1949. Thorne being not only blind is also very quiet and commanding. He is our class president and captain of A company. pu? Never known to anger quickly he considers geometry, U.S. History, and English as his favorite subiects and writing as his main hobby. He has won the Talent Tourney three times and Honorable Mention twice. His regular poetic column can always be seen in the school paper except when the editors misplace it. Three conduct medals and a captains rank make up his military career. ' A good organizer Thorne was on the Activity Committee in the 11th grade and has since had his hand in most of the senior activities such as dances and the Adiutant in which he wrote our prophecy.
