THUMAS EDWARD LEE !ll1u'k.' llwrv lim more peril in thine' eye' Than twenty of their swords. Romeo and Juliet Tommy was one of the International Set, having come to liolles from Turkey. Through hard work and a display of integrity and alacrity, Tom rose to the position of Ensign in Company C in only two years. Affable and cheerful, he exerted a great deal of influence not only on those under his command but also on his friends. His record in academics does credence to his intelligence and diligence. Like his historical forebearer, the General, his efficiency, modesty, and fine character traits pre- dict success. THOMAS SPENCER LADD, III My man's as true as steel. Romeo and Juliet Someone has said a razor company is looking for a good growth of beard for their commercial. Quick, Spence . . . there is your chance! How- ever, his shaggy face concealed the mind of a deep thinker. Although Spencer was quiet, he often graced us with his candid philosophies on varied subjects. Red Goose was a great athlete and loved all types of sports. He was captain of the football and baseball teams, and he became a three-time letter- man by lettering in basketball. He displayed an extraordinary coolness and quickness of thought at his position of quarterback. Secondary in his attentions was his car, the Grey Cockroachf' in which he spent every moment of his spare time. A man among men, Spence tried to be just Spence and never indulged in any backstabbing.

KENNETH STEPHEN KLAUSNER He jests ut scars, that never felt a wound. Romeo and Juliet Though small in stature, Buzz made up for it in other ways, and his keen wit created a pleasant interlude in a dull class. Not only did he show integrity in academics, but he also was an invalu- able member of the football squad. In football, Buzz compensated for his light weight with cour- age and zeal and fought wholeheartedly to win. Buzz was amiable and had many friends for whom he would go out of his way to do favors. It was a good thing for him that school did not start earlier, for he came skidding around the corner too many mornings as the bell sounded. WILLIAM TERRY KIRKPATRICK . . . and he looks Quite through the deeds of men. Julius Caesar Although passing but a brief period of a year and a half at Bolles, Terry took a lively interest in all activities. Not only did he excell in academics and establish a line record, but he also showed dexterity on the gridiron. In addition to these activities, Terry was an excellent amateur photog- rapher and was indispensible on the yearbook staff. His academic record evidences diligence, pro- ficiency, and comprehension. Whatever he hap- pened to be doing, he was an eager, cooperative, and pleasant companion.

THOMAS ROGERO MICKLER Thou hast no speculation in those eyes Which thou dost glare with! Macbeth Tommy Mickler, the outstanding tennis player of the class, was known throughout the state for his skill with a racquet. Around the school he was known for his loud talk and his feeble attempts to fox the teachers. Quite efficient as a Platoon Sergeant in A Company, Tommy spent most of his time working with his tennis and attending to his military duties. Telling the pertinent and impertinent details of his 1955 summer trip to Europe was another of Tommy's favorite pastimes. Academics was defi- nitely not his avocation, but somehow he managed to get by. This fellow will long be remembered as the world traveled celebrity. CARL CLIFFORD MENDOZA, JR. I dare do all that may become a man. Julius Caesar Sleeper Mendoza! Cliff could never get enough sleep, it seems. However, he always got the spark to sprint through on quarterback sneaks at the right instant or to splash that last few yards to win a race. Sleeper had a busy senior year, as he was President of the B Club, Com- manding Oflicer of B Company, and President of the Senior Class. These accomplishments speak for themselves. While nothing ever excited Cliff or seemed to worry him, it was his easy-going and friendly nature which largely accounted for his popularity. Here was One of the Boys --and a darn good one at that.
