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.

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.

ANDREW WILSON HERRON, III Season your admiration for awhile. Hamlet Andy entered Bolles in the fall of his senior year after attending Lawrenceville Academy for four years. Within the first week Andy was well adapted to Bolles life, but he never lost that much- to-be-desired individualism. While at first he was a staunch Yankee and an instigator of several small scale Civil Wars, Andy seemed gradually to take to the Southern way of life. Possessing dignity, charm, and pleas- ant manners, Andy has made a great number of friends both at Bolles and in Jacksonville, where he took an active part in week-end social life. MARK ARRINGTON HARRIS So weary with disasters, tugg d with fortune, . . . Macbeth Mark, one of the most affable members of the class, was a potentially good student, but he prided himself with being the class joker. His witty comments and diverting remarks often kept an otherwise dormant class from sinking into a morass of boredom. His position as Assistant Day Boy Executive kept him busy in the Canteen, and, as he was the hero of many younger boys, Mark could often be seen during the morning break surrounded by ardent admirers. With his refreshing personality and growing sense of responsibility, Mark should make his mark in life.
