JAMES KENT AVERILL I am not merryg but I do beguile The thing I am, by seeming otherwise. Othello Amiable Jake did not choose to manifest his capabilities in the classroom, but when he determined to accomplish a goal he did it with near perfection. Level-headed and steadfast, Jim reminds one of the race between the tortoise and the hare. A loyal friend and a steady man with one woman, .lake always enjoyed a good party, par- ticularly if he had thought up a good excuse to get out of school for it. If Jim had nothing good to say, he said nothing at all. The latter was seldom true because he could always lind something fine in everyone. ARTURO APON TE Give it an understanding, but no tongue. Hamlet One of the more garrulous of the Latin- Americans, Arturo was constantly living up to his affectionate nick-name of Motor-Mouth. His strong feeling on Puerto Rican nationalism were no secret to the student body, and he often acted as a representative from his country and quickly came to its defense when necessary. Arturo worked hard at academics and usually did a commendable job in class. He was a standout in intramural athletics, especially at basketball. The loud and lively Latin-American music often heard blasting from his room reflected his vibrant personality. Buhbling with enthusiasm, Arturo will always be popular.

HENRY THOMAS ANDERSON Thy head is full of quarrels as an egg is full of meat. Romeo and Juliet Everyone knows Bruno, In three short years this character has penetrated the Bolles scene so deeply that the impression on our minds will be a lasting one. He participated in many extra-cur- ricular activities and was indispensible in his work in the Projection Room. His assistance was also valuable as an intramural manager. No one can ever remember Bruno's mouth being shut or his body being still for he was incessantly talking and wiggling. Bruno spent con- siderable time pondering over why someone said a particular thing and rarely came to the right conclusion . . . we hope! CRUMPTON KIRBY ALEXANDER How is'f wifh you, That you do bend your eye on vacancy? Hamlet Kirb was the man who always had a joke or an amusing incident to relate. He also had a knack for flashing his deceptive and disarming smile at the most opportune time. Although fre- quently in hot water, Kirb invariably escaped without getting singed. Kirb excelled in athletics. He was as valuable on the football field as he was indispensible on the basketball court. He earned a varsity letter not only in these two but also in baseball, swimming, and track. Kirby never seemed to take to aca- demics or drill as much as he did to athletics, but he did well enough to get by. Add to these items his many friends, and we find the red- blooded American boy.

PERRY SOUTHALL BENSON Double, double toil and trouble,- Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Macbeth Ensign Benson . . . he was really a lieuten- ant, but we all enjoyed kidding Perry. He was hard working, dependable, and respected by the men in his platoon. Independent, but considerate of others, Perry went about his own business with- out stepping on too many toes. Perry always stood steadfastly for what he wanted and let nothing stand in his way. At times, his frankness was appalling, but no one ever doubted his sincerity and his desire for hon- orable accomplishment. Away from school, Perry became an entirely different individual from the Prussian idealist most of us imagined him to be. He loved to party and live it up in a way typical of the military. DENNIS JON BARCLAY He thinks too much: such men are dangerous. Julius Caesar Friendly, charitable, and unassuming Bark went his own quiet way on the campus. Although frequently caught in history class without a rum- ble fto quote Col. Ballj, many of us believed that he demurred in answering for fear that by doing so he might offend someone or deflate the good Colonel's ego. While his flaming red hair might lead one to believe that he was hot-tempered, he was always a friendly and perfectly harmless chap. In the Smoking Lounge, where he practically established residence, we wondered what went on behind the windshield and suspected that he was quite a philosopher.
