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.

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.

GEORGE HENRY HODGES, JR. 'Ullan dclilgflzls not mv: nn, nor woman neither. Hamlet George . . . good 'ole easy going George! Scholar, athlete, and friend. He excelled in the classroom through plenty of hard work and perse- verance. His record in academics speaks for itself. He displayed versatility by playing football, bas- ketball, and baseball. and he earned a letter in all three. When you heard him laugh, you knew it was George, for his laugh was inimitable. He never seemed to hurry, to get upset: he was quite a philosopher. We will always associate George with that Georgia voice making noon announcements. Although his grammatical construction was invar- iably correct, his Southern drawl often left us in stitches. LYNN CARLTON HIGBY Bye and bye is easily said. Hamlet Lynn Higby, R Company's Second Platoon Leader, was known for his slow, easy-going style of operation. If something had to be done imme- diately, no one ever asked Lynn to do it. Football and baseball were his favorite pastimes, and he spent hours improving his technique in both. Lynn was a member of the B Club through his achievements in athletics. Fairly proficient at aca- demics, Lynn was not the most. industrious of students, but he somehow managed to remain in the upper half of his class. Lynn was often seen in town at social events to which he received a late invitation: however, this made no difference to him for he quickly became a part of the crowd. This easy-going chap is sure to find some easy-going future.
