GEORGE MARSHALL ABSALOM, III MIAMI, FLORIDA A regal title, no? And really regal he was to his friends. Geniality and ping-pong were his most noted assets-along with rather big feet and a bent for math. Although his young Company C wards thought him a terror, we knew there was no one quite so pleasant . . . or so credulous. He was naive in such an ingratiating way that you couldn't do anything except feel like a heel after laughing at his innocent remarks. One found himself ad- miring his frankness and willingness to learn. Such candor is surely an admirable trait. ROBERT EUGENE AUSTIN, JR. OCALA, FLORIDA On off days Bobby was officiousg at his best, he was efficient, strict and conscientious. Nor did this stop Little Bob from being popularg he was sort of . . . shall we say it . . . mascot to the bat- talion. He had a somewhat mystical command of almost all his subordinates. Not concerned by his skeleton-like frame, he faced up to every situation and soon had each man following his dictates. Bobby was a stand-by of the school, a six year man. He was a solid member of the acade- me. He made his way on the football team via the back door, i.e., manager. But he gained his objective honorably as we believe he always will.

JAMES GOLDEN BARTON JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA Few people carried their social position with such natural and unassuming grace as did Jim. He was as companionahle as he was becoming. His genuine regard for the other person and what might hurt that person was admirable to those of us vested with less diplomacy. His tact was obvi- ously an integral part of his personality. He rose to Day Boy Executive in three years and was elected president of the Alpha Society while still a junior. To say he was an athletic figure would be erroneous, for he spent the first of this year evad- ing any physical activities. Once inducted into the program, though, he became an improving mem- ber of the golf squad. GAYLORD ADRIAN BIRNEY DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA My mind to me a kingdom isg would all do so as well as I. Conforming generally for the sake of others, Ade still remained apart from and above the masses. Intolerant to a certain extent., Ade felt that there is no sin but stupidity. And that thought was one of the most refreshing characteristics of his ego. Ade was Bolles' own character analyst. He tore apart the personalities of just about everyone on the campus and carefully weighed his own char- acter by holding others up to his critical standards. Will any of us ever forget Ade's throwing up his hands in despair at the shortcomings of his fellow men?
