RICHARD MEYER In the year 1952 a tall lfive foot ten inchl boy wandered aimlessly through the great halls and murals of the telephone office.

JAMES MING James Leong lCharliel Ming, Jr. was born on March 31, 1937, in Bakersfield, California. After moving to Los Angeles he came to Black-Foxe in the year 1951. Perhaps the greatest exponent of highbrow and subtle humor he never laughs except at the best of iokes and usually looks down land rightly sol on the rest of the seniors who indulge in pranks they first learned in the seventh grade. But then don't underestimate Charlie, as some of his humorous stories for the school paper have received great acclaim. Standing five feet five inches and weighing 130 pounds Charlie includes foreign newspapers, short wave, piano, and writing as his main hob- bies and interests. iii I 42 A great defender of Formosa Charlie can usually be heard arguing with someone over that question. Around school he likes U.S. History and liter- ature as favorite school subiects. Our most sophisticated senior Charlie has risen to second lieutenant in the band where he re- liably plays the bass sax. He has also earned three good conduct medals. He has won the Time's Current Affairs contest once and the Talent Tourney twice along with a couple of honorable mention in same. Now living at 110 West 119th St. in Los An- geles Charlie hopes to attend the University of Southern California and maior in political science.
