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!

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.

aw HARRY MARLER deMONTMOLLIN, JR. I am Ille very pink of courtesy. Romeo and Juliet 'l'he terror of the liand Hall and a challenge to all true iconoclasts, Harry carved his niche at Bolles with a sequined bludgeon. His mild facade concealed a will of iron, and woe betide those rash enough to interfere with the smooth running of My Company. We will recall that at midyear Harry took over the editorship of the Bugleg we were only surprised that he had not done so sooner. Never a person to remain in the wings, in live short years DeMont hacked his way to the front of the stage, and . . . were he to remain at Bolles . . . it would take decades to dislodge him. MICHAEL FRANCIS DAVIDSON I bear ll charmed life. Macbeth Who? The loud one with the big feet? That's Mike Davidson. Always a boisterous Hello and Let me sell you a Ford. Friendly. sincere and straightforward, Mike was one of the most popu- lar boys in the class. Mike liked to shoot the wind, and, if you stayed around him too long, you were likely to get a stiff neck from the draft. Making an unbelievable comeback after a seri- ous automobile accident in November, 1954, Mike returned to become a very competent member of the football team in his senior year. Sports were important to Mike, but they did not so completely dominate him as to hinder his academic work. With his gift of gab and salesmanship, Mike should make a million selling Fords.
