Sigma M. DONALD HEATH LEBER 336 Lake View Avenue East Brightwaters, Long Island, N. Y. Don, who enrolled at Blair last fall, has certainly accomplished much in the way of athletic honors. During the fall term, he played fullback position on the gridiron, and in the winter was a stalwart on Uncle Leroy's basketball team. One of the top-floor boys, Leb was always defending his bed against attackers, and when he wasn't doing this, Don could be found gazing at Nancy's picture.

Elmer, commuting daily from Franklin, has quite a drive mornings and nights. He doesn't mind it however, in his new Chevrolet convertible which is the envy of the Blair campus. Elmer found time in the fall to be a scrappy guard on the football squad and with his ever present smile has become one of the best liked fellows at school. White Color Club. DAVID LEE 3820 Waldo Avenue New York 63, New York Well known for his herculean attempts on the track to break records, Dave is acknowledged by all as a swell guy. Another of the boys from Millbrook, Dave has made many friends through his humor in the dorm as well as on the rest of the campus. Varsity Track, '49, Choir, Cross-Country, '49, Indoor Track, '49, White Color Club. HOWARD I. LEVINE 339 East 41st Street Paterson, N. J. Howard seems to be one of those boys that just had a natural attraction for the fairer sex. He could always be counted on for a good yarn about his l life in Paterson. As most German students know, he produced many a humorous translation of famous authors works. And also as Hogie knows, he had that way of insulting a teacher without getting punished.

Toto the Terror is an expert at ripping up anything from opposing linemen to the East Hall Commons Room, and he has done both with great success. But don't let those bulging biceps fool you, because he can pin opponents on the Blair mats Saturday and still sing the sweetest music you ever heard in church on Sunday. Versatility and personality add up to make Clate one of the Academy's favorite sons. Varsity Football, '47, '48g Co-Captain Football, '48g B.A.A. Wrestling, '48: B.A.A.

FRANK STANLY KREPS, JR. 51 Bowdoin Street Maplewood, N. J. Slim, tall, and on the ball, is about as accurate a description as you can give of Blair's Bud Kreps. His talent as a sax player is undisputed around the campus, for we have heard him in action. During the winter time Bud spends his time giving opponents headaches by ripping the nets to pieces with his deadly court shots. B.A.A. Basketball, '48g Out for Varsity Basketball, '49: Band, '48, '49g Dance Band, '48, '49g Golf and Tennisg Breeze Circulation Boardg Blue Color Club. DONALD MARK LA FOUNTAIN 180 Overlook Avenue Hackensack, N. J. If the name of Shmoo-boy were in the Hall of Fame, Don would be sure to get it. Not only interested in Shmoos he is first sprint man on the Varsity swimming team. tHe doesn't swim like a Shmooj. Sometimes known as Boy- with-a-gun his favorite beverage is coffee although he can't drink it in the morning because it keeps him awake during classes. Varsity B Swimming, '493 Cheerleader, '49, Varsity B Association: B.A.A. Track, '48g Out for Track in the Springg White Color Club. WILLIAM ROSERANS LANTZ R.D. fl Newton, N. J. Students don't come much quieter than Bill, but his good looks and person- ality has made him a favorite with students and faculty alike. Although many new students at Blair seem to have trouble with their studies at first, Bill has impressed everyone with his fine marks from the very beginning of school. White Color Club.

His 11. quiet sense of humor and continual good mood makes him the kind of a fellow 2 . you always want around. To see Jim engaged in his favorite pastime is like ' listening to soothing strains of a classical piece. An all around good man and , hard worker, Jim will be a success in anything he does. Varsity Basketball, '49, White Color Club. PIERCE LONERGAN Flanders, N. J. Ifjohn I. were still around there's no doubt that he'd be proud to shake the hand of Fierce Pierce, the man of the mats. There's probably nothing Pete hasn't tried during his four years at Blair, and he's been a success at everything from baby sitting to cross country. fat' Student Council, '48, Vice-President, '49, Wearer of the B : J.
