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.

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.

WILLIAM HENRY MCCULLAGH, .IR. lVh0 can be wise, amazed. ft'I7lf7?7'llfl' and furious, Loyal and ncufral, in a moment? Macbeth Tranquil and retiring , . . these two adjectives best. describe Henry at the first meeting. After you got to know him, however, these two adjec- tives were not quite so applicable. At times he was laissez-faire, but this attitude was not typical. Henry enjoyed a joke or a witty comment, but, if neither of these were available, people amused him. A minimum amount of studying was neces- sary for him to maintain high grades. In addition to his accomplishments in academics, Henry is also a wizard on water skiis. Henry's amateur psycho- logical opinions of people were amusing and usually correct. Henry was, above all, sincere and truthful and a friend in whom one could trust. EDWARD JOSEPH MIRAGLIA O, woe is mc, To have seen what I have seen, sw' what I sec. Hamlet Bitter Ed - Dio Mio Miraglia-these two appellatives are not to be misinterpreted. Ed was one of the most delightful persons in the class even if he was not one of the most consistent. He was sometimes bitter over academics, but more often he was elated. That academics was important to Ed is ap- parent in his excellent record, for he remained in the top part ol' the class during his five years at Bolles. In his senior year, Ed attained the position of Day Boy Executive and was a member of the Alpha Society. His inclination toward mathematics and his fine record in the academic department warranted Ed easy acceptance at Georgia Tech where he plans to study engineering.
