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.

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.

DONALD RAY HADDEN Rude um I in my spevcli, And lilflv hlc'ss'd with Ihr' soft phrase of peaCe. ' Othello With his accent and diction, there was only one place in the world where he could have come from . . . Tennessee. Actually he was transplanted to Florida, but the hucolic nature typical of Ten- nesseeans remained with him. A Bell telephone was his constant companion, and certainly he must have kept the telephone company in dimes. Loving the country, he had an atfection for birds, particu- larly a parakeet named Skippy. While he did not venture too far into the unconquerahle paths of academic endeavor, he showed that he had an inquiring mind hy asking questions like Why? or What for? when the occasion presented itself. JOHN AUGUSTUS GREEN But I have that within which passelh showf' Hamlet Seldom a criticism of anything or anybody came from Johnny. John could see nothing but good in everybody, and his altruistic nature and undoubted sincerity made him admired and re- garded by all as tops, John displayed perseverance and determina- tion seldom seen in our fellow cadets and always set an example which we would liked to have fol- lowed. Facing reality, John did what he thought was right and never tried to get out of anything. Serving as Assistant Quartermaster in the Cloth- ing Room, .Iohn did his job well and occupied an essential position on the Battalion Statf.
