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.

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!

l LEWIS ALFRED FRASER Ullfe must take the current when it serves, Ur lose our ventures. Julius Caesar Louie the Looper was the quiet man of the class. This quietness might be credited to one of two things . . . shyness or, more probably, Louie had more important things to think about. Playing football was Louie's Seventh Heaven. When aroused he could really break bones . . . Wow! When not playing football, however. Louie was as benign as a kitten. Both sincere and loyal, it would be difhcult to find anyone who did not like Louie as he never intentionally offended anyone in his life. Indepen- dent and dependable, Louie could be counted upon to do his best. MARVIN FINKLESTEIN I could a tale unfold whose lightest word Would harrow up my soul . . . Hamlet Marvin Finklestein, popularly known as Fink, is an emigre from Baxley, Georgia, but will take no cracks about it. Many amusing stories are based on events in small Georgia towns, and Fink was the originator of some choice ones. Although academics did not come easy to him, Fink always worked hard. While his duties in Headquarters Company occupied a large amount of his time, he spent his off duty hours on the tennis courts, where he developed the skill neces- sary for a berth on the varsity team.
