4 JOHN LAWRENCE KEAR And therefore little shall I grace my cause In speaking for myself. Othello ln John is found a rare combination of brain and brawn. While excelling at football, John also managed to maintain several B classifications on the side. Friendly and considerate to all, John never hurt anyone intentionally although he was physically capable of it. He never griped about petty things for if something was wrong he did not grumble. He sim- ply went to the source of the trouble and corrected it. Since he was seldom in hot water, he rose rap- idly from Private to Sergeant First Class in two years. John often burst into song as he walked the halls, filling them with his powerful baritone voice. He was happy. TAYLOR WEBB JONES I have bought Golden opinions from all sorts of people. Macbeth A main characteristic of the old western town was the magnificent front it put on for the casual observer. But the better one got to know the town, the less it was to be feared. To know Taylor was to realize his cleverness and also to see through his front. Taylor possessed a tremendous potential and an adamant perserverance which could have been beneficial if channelled in the proper direction. He participated in varsity football but was sidelined by a pre-game injury late in the season. Somewhat of a misanthrope, Taylor could sift a reasonable deed through a cynical sneer and make the deed sound ridiculous and the doer a chump.

MICHAEL DAVID JONES Speak of me as I am,' nothing extenuate, . . .' Othello For all of Mike's good natured defense of rural life and country philosophy, he was by no means a hick. He could rock and roll along with the best of the big city boys. Above all, Mike was sincere. He said what he meant and meant what he said. To most of us, vacation meant home, girls, dancing, girls, freedom, and girls. To Mike it was Home for some of Ma's liver 'n onions. Mike's quick wit and good-natured drawl helped to dis- tinguish him as one of the characters in the class of 1956. We will never forget the l'eapicker of Deerfly Beach. , KIRK DUDLEY JONES Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads . . f' Hamlet By any standards, Kirk was perhaps the most unpredictable person in school. One could not tell from one minute to the next what he might say or do. Sitting in a solitary corner brooding, he would burst forth suddenly with some completely uninhibited wise crack. Conversely, in his studies he was quite con- sistent and made a steady ascent to the top academic ranks of the class. His ability to do well what he chose also passed over into athletics, and he earned a letter in both football and basketball. Thus he was the only person in the Senior Class to be a member of both the B Club and the Alpha Society.

HOMER CLIFTON KING, JR. Assume a virtue, if you have il not. Hamlet Some collect stamps, some collect coins, but Sonny assiduously collected various and sundry muscles. l'orever enlightening us with tidbits of superior weight-lifting knowledge, he did prove instrumental in securing the team a place in the State Meet. As we soon discovered, he was more intellec- tually inclined than his academic average would lead one to believe. Contrary to common belief, he did know how to laugh and proved it often in the Smoking Lounge. 'lhose who knew him learned that he loved enjoyment and procured it at any cost. JOHN FREDERICK KIMBALL, JR. 1 some noi, friends, to steal away your lwarfs: Julius Caesar Forever extolling the virtues of being a neat guy, The Kimball hailed from Miami. He was as unpredictable as a two cent firecracker. As an avid spear fisherman, Steve held lead position when The Clique held its bull sessions. Steve had the ability to apply himself and to learn quickly. He was liked by all cadets for his quick wit and good nature. His popularity extended to the opposite sex as was seen by the bevy of new females surrounding him each week-end. Strictly a progressive thinker and a keen psychologist, it is this beach muscled individual's ambition to become owner and editor of Muscle Power In the Sun.
