FREDERICK WILTON COURINGTON IVisely and slow: they slumble that run fast. Romeo and Juliet Round-Fred, as pleasant a chap as you will find anywhere, was the originator of the expres- sion Uh, friend? tI'ronounced free-un.J Depend- able and efficient . . . always. Papa Courington, burdened with eighty-five little Company tykes, did not get to mingle with his old friends as much as most of us did, but none of us will forget him. Freddy was an individualist of sorts, but his compromising attitude and gregarious nature did not exclude him from the proper amount of conformity. His dignity, proficiency, and sterlingly honest personality have warranted him not only the friendship but also the respect of his class- mates. WILLIAM ELDER CORNELL These violent clvliglits have violvnl ends. Romeo and Juliet Bill Cornell was one of the most personable cadets in our class. His easy-going existance seemed to agree with him, for he thrived under the Bolles routine. Bill was industrious in his studies and usually did a fine job in the classroom. At athletics Bill played football. He lettered and was made a member of B Club. .lournalism was his outstanding field, and Bill held the responsible position of Editor-in- Chief of the Alumni News and Managing Editor of the Bugle. liill's dependability and leadership will prove to be definite assets in any future endeavor.

RAYMOND CLIVE CONWAY Reputation is an idle and most false imposition. Othello Ray seemed at first a clear-cut and obvious person, but actually he was hard to understand and characterize. His interests were as varied as his companions. While he appreciated classical music and devoted hours to hi-fi, he probably read Mickey Spillane while listening to Beethoven's Fifth. While Rayis red-haired temper was some- times a problem for him, his varying interests and his usually jovial personality won for him many friends in all age groups. His on-campus activities included photography and literary work on the Bugle, Eagle, and Alumni News. ROGER LYNN CONGDON The courageous captain of compliments. Romeo and Juliet Good Morning, Sir, How are you, Sir are two phrases that were often heard coming from this lad, for he possessed a surprisingly well- developed talent for polishing the apple. Luckily, Roger did not overwork his talents and remained quite popular with the cadets as well as the faculty members. Roger was one of the more refined cadets, and his tall dignified physique did much to uphold this characteristic. Also, he was cultural-minded, and was often seen listening to hi-fi and patroinizing the belles-lettres. Efficiency and dependability were Roger's best known virtues, and he did a highly commendable job as Cadet Tactical Officer in A Company.

CHARLES WILLIAM CURTIS . ll fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancyf, Hamlet This carefree and happy fellow has shared but two years of his life with Bollesg nevertheless, he has accomplished a great deal in that time. While his showing in the class room was commend- able, athletics held a more important place in Bill's mind. Bill played on the basketball team and let- tered in both football and track. Sometimes Bill was brooding and hard to understand, but more often he was animated, pleasant, and had a quick witted remark for every occasion. A problem unsolved by his classmates was how he was able to keep nine or ten girl friends on a string at a time. THOMAS THEODORE WELTCH CROSBY Ambition should he made of sterner stuff. Julius Caesar This cadet graced the Bolles campus for hve years, and during that time he found himself consistently in the forefront of his class both aca- demically and socially. Gentleman', is not a word easily applied, but it must he employed when referring to Ted. His sense of honor, his dependability, and, above all, his politeness made him a credit to his family and school. His pianistic accomplishments made him one of the finest musicians ever to attend Bolles. We will remember, though, that when the occasion presented itself, he was not above a joke . . . par- ticularly at someone else's expense, as the Eagle staff would verify. One thing for sure . . . Journal- ism won't be the same without him!
