J. RAYMOND HRIBAR FLEMING Ray Hribor's tastes in interior decoration run to myriads of small fish and large speakers; indeed he occasionally looks not unlike a large guppy himself, as he darts hurriedly about. His magnificent hi-fi, his large collection of paperbacks, and his noted hospitality have lent his room that exclusiveness and privacy com- mon to gold-fish bowls. . Actually, he is probably more serpentine than fish-like, as his honor standing last year, his Vice-Presidency of ACS, and his activities in the Chem E department will testify. Nor should his athletic prow- ess be discounted. He has been a track manager for four years running. After Tech, Ray plans to go to grad school. DAVID w. KENDLE DABNEY HERBERT RICE FLEMING ROLF RICHTER OFF-CAMPUS Dave came to Caltech from Salina lSuh- LlNE-uhl Kansas, but has done fairly well in spite of this. Among his accom- plishments are getting his soph scholar- ship to pay for his Hi-fi set, being on also ran in the race from Palmdale, and sewing as UCC in Dabney House and Manager of the Karate Club. Know- ing almost enough Karate to protect himself lwitness the hole in the Alley 4 walll, Dave is beginning cautious associa- tion with the opposite sex. Four years as 0 Chem E. has been a maior factor in his decision to attend graduate school in ME lCaltech againl. 22 t;-.x.ks4:9x-s,.4 Y- MA, ,. . -.; u 1.1,:: . -.. s. v 7,. , U, Whether scaling rocks or walls or hanging by his thumbs from a steep precipice or his balcony-Herb is a climber. Many buildings around old CIT has Herb rapelled. The very docile Ch.E. snake, Herb is aroused like a Tiger when you pull his ear or stop him from shaking. When he's not stuck on top of Mt. Everest, he's either playing a fast game of soccer, skiing, sailing, or just trying to get on the good side of his profs at the ACS meetings. Fleming will lose their best waiter'when Herb leaves here for MIT or Princeton. Der Deutschland's gift to the Westerh World, Rolf was transplanted by hIS family to New York City, the better to disseminate Aryan propaganda. To hIs peers, Rolf's greatest achievement .has been the maintenance of good relatiens with Mrs. P. of the A., which requ'ir'es less skill than diplomacy. Rolf's facxlity with words has caused him to be judged the campus' liveliest cynic. He. IS tho; admirably suited for his forthcoming WOI' at Aeroiet.

GUY ANDREWS DABNEY When Guy first came to Tech, he was known as the wild driver from the high plains. After the loss of his car, he became a wild motor cyclist. Between accidents he has designed transistor cir- cuits for the Naval Ordinance Test Station. Guy doesn't say much about his future plans, but they obviously include a girl named Judy, as well as a lucrative job in the electronics industry. JIM BLACKMON DABNEY Rocketing into Southern-California from Charlotte, NC. via Andover, Mass., the Hlittle kid left behind his basement rocket, and set out to learn how he had built a much-acclaimed missile. Tiring of playing the student, he branched into football and track. He became so destruc- tive that he earned an instructor's rating in Karate. He also became Dabney head waiter. Jim found money so attractive that he stuck through two years as Big T Business Manager. Cars being his favorite love, next to women, he is co-holder of the Los Angeles to Charlotte driving record of 48 hours. With his naive, innocent 'iWho, me? look, he has trouble fighting off all his women i But I'm a good Ioser. i Graduating in AE, the missile world is sure to feel Jim's presence in years to come. BEN G. BURKE RICKETTS TBII A Brewterton, Washington man, Ben has combined hard work with ability to be- come one of the really outstanding mem- bers of his class. He is a four-year letterman in track and was Vice-President of Ricketts House. During track off-season, Ben contributed much to interhouse ath- letics. Ordinarily quiet and unassuming, one soon learns not to argue for the opposing side when Ben joins a dis- cussion. JAMES Q. COE DABNEY Jim is one of .those fellows who couldn't bear to leave Caltech. Starting here in '55, he finished two years during which he played freshmen baseball before a bout with Valley Fever kept him out of school for a year. He returned as a member of the class of '60 and ended as one of the select group of Dobney seniors who didn't graduate with their class. He finished at the close of first term and is now working for the highway department in Fresno. His time during the summer of 1960 wasn't wasted, though, as he occupied himself by marry- ing Ethel, the girl next door. Jim will always be remembered as the originator of Coe tokens; the A4El society, and the evenpopular Coe trophy of Dabney. RALPH E. BREDEHORST OFF-CAMPUS Eric came to Caltech from that nearby community, Los Angeles. Hoving spent several years at Pasadena City College, he became a member of the class of 1961 in his iunior year. During his iunior year he held the post of Vice-President of the ASCE. Upon graduation Eric intends to enter the field of productive employ- ment before attempting any further activi- ties in the field of higher education. KENDALL F. CASEY RICKETTS Although none of the other troops in. Ricketts caq pronounce Ken's address in Hawaii, Honors-at-Entrance Casey has managed to accept his compatriots with near equality. Ken's reputation of being socially aware, mentally awake, and morally one-of-the-boys is aspired by many, but attained by few. Since Kendall is one of those leaders of men so seldom turned out by the Coltech AFOTC, he plans to let the Air Force help him continue his education. DELMAR CURTIS DABNEY DelMar is an EE with much promise. He is one of the few who worries about each new difficulty, and he usually over- comes each one with few problems. His spare time is taken Up with the Glee Club and in intimate hours with his fiancee, Myrna. After graduation, Del plans to put his engineering talents to work for some Bay area concern, but first comes the wedding bells, the date being set for shortly after graduation in June. Del is always cheerful, even when being kidded by his friends; he is weH-Iiked by all, a situation which will undoubtedly follow him throughout his life.
