ENGINEERING ROY H. MAKINO BLACKER It is common knowledge among the people who know him that Roy's pose. as the strong silent Hawaiian type IS lust intended to keep his artistic talents under wraps. However, the news still seems to leak out before election campaigns, Inter- house dance, and other artistic proiects, when Roy becomes House Artist by proc- lamation. Roy is most respected, however, for his influence with the powerful anti- showering faction of the House. The most determined showering force dissolves when the whispered phrase spreads throughout the House: Makino says no! Roy is also a charter membei' of the Seniors' Volley- Bad-Tennis Club. He will graduate in electrical engineering and may continue study in graduate school. IAN D. MARKS FLEMING CHARLES A. RAY RICKETTS A rare notive Californian, Chuck is most envied for his perpetual ear-to-ear grin, and his faculty for snagging interesting summer iobs. He left the option-go-round at Guggenheim, as one of the few who know how planes come apart. Knee iniuries forced Chuck to drop football at the end of his sophomore year, but left him more time to participate in other activities. Currently A.S.M.E. Chairman and Senior Treasurer, he has served Cal- tech in exemplary fashion, a precedent set by the earlier generation of Rays. In fact, Chuck's burning ambition has been to live up to his father's fine reputation. He hasn't. After graduation, Chuck will go to Slenderella. WAYNE A. MASSEY RUDDOCK DWAIN J. REED BLACKER Dwain came to Caltech planning, like all frosh, to be a theoretical nuclear physi. cist. However, in his Junior year he switched options and took over the posi- tiori on House Double-e, vacated that year by Larry Elmore. The duties of this office include broadcasting music con- tinuously over the Blacker Music Exchange lines and playing badminton at least one night a week. When not tending to these duties he could be found leading the House teams as House Athletic Manager or playing volleyball or Fermi-particle-in- a-box in the courtyard. With exposure to the humanizing influences of the Caltech Y and the Blacker Pseudo-Liberals, he has become interested in the social sciences and is tentatively planning to do graduate work in psychobiology. aim ' ' Ilifl :ii ;.

SIDNEY LEIBOVICH LLOYD TBII A prime example of the Ricketts House political machine, Sid Leibovich has plow- ed through elections and committee ap- pointments galore. Some aspersions have occasionally been cast as to the proper functioning of that machine; Leibo agrees ehe lost an election for Rep-at-Large. It for BOC, House Social Chairman, ASClT Treasurer, Tau Beta Pi Vice-President, ran admirably, however, through elections while the spoils system added the sinecure of Freshman Class President. Zeal for the commonweal and a humble recognition of civil responsibilities led to campus activi- ties such as the Educational Policies Com- mittee, Model UN, and circulation mana- ger of the California Tech. Sid is allegedly studying Applied Mechanics and has managed to squeak by with two years of honor standing. lilt was real easy is his modest dismissal of the subject. With a mind towards the goal 'iwell-rounded , Leibo spent two years each throwing and chasing lusually not farl the javelin and discus. For his heroic efforts in this area, he was awarded a letter. in a great Ricketts purge, Sid was sent to a new campus home, Lloyd House. There, with a small group known as the Old Guard, Leibovich acted the elder statesman role and saw much sound advice discarded by callow youth. lARRY LONG DABNEY Larry's biggest problem at Tech was teach- ing people how to pronounce the name of his home town in Ohio l iust south of Akron l, Cuyahoga Falls lsay Ki-yoh-go Boo-Bool. Under the guise of being a shy, naive, likeable guy, Larry was chosen as Dabney House Headwaiter and was elec- ted Senior Class lot '60 that isl Athletic manager. His ability to blush at the drop of a whatever one blushes at the drop of . . . endeared him as house stop- light. After three years of varsity toot- ball, Larry was a pretty good tackle and has now ioined the ranks of discouraged ex-frosh football coaches. As C.S.C.'s only reliability engineer, his future in E.E. looks secure. ANTHONY I. IWATA OFF-CAMPUS Stout Anthony Itsu Iwata has been some- thing of a misfit at Caltech; originally intending to go to a good business school, he could not get in because of his not being Jewish, and he was forced to come to his second choice, Caltech. ltsu, as his friends fondly call him, has resented this ever since and has combined this resentment with his business sense into an amalgam ethos, as exemplified by his recent statement, If IBM should decide to kill off all the Jews like Eichman did, it would be all right with me as long as my stock went Up! Conflicts have arisen because of his basic incompatability with Caltech. Brought up as a Seventh Day Adventist and having learned that the Creation was around 5700 BC, after taking geology, he was forced to moderate this extreme view and date the creation at about one million years ago. in ltsu we see the meeting of many traditional opposites: scientific idealism versus business practicality, East versus West, science versus religion, and mind versus matter, It is anyone's guess which ones will win out. While at Caltech Itsu has been a member of the Chinese Stu- dents Association. Next year he plans to go to work for Southern California's growing electronics industry. ENGINEERING MILTON S. LINDNER FLEMING Mickey came here from clear-aired Den- ver. Apparently he liked gulping smog, because he immediately went out for swimming and water polo. The latter he dropped but he has continued swim- ming for Tech and Fleming House, earning letters from both. ROTC also interrupted his concentrated snaking for three years, until he joined his many deserting class- mates. Next year he plans to begin revolutionizing industry as an EE. SERGE LOUSSARARIAN RICKETTS Though nobody in Ricketts is able to spell or pronounce his last name, the Ricketts House Armenian, a transfer student from Cairo, Egypt, has managed to get along with the identification, Serge what's-his- name. When the house TV was koput, Serge had to spend even more time studying and waiting at the Antheneum. Few men in his alley this year will forget Serge's strange devotion to his sink, and fewer still will forget that Serge always won in the few card games he ioined, and his infinite supply of cigarettes. Next year Serge will stay on at Caltech. 25

I 1 RN;- Po w; 53$: l l l l illl ill f l l, . l Na N Mmo- x a s ROBERT M. RUBY PAGE Bob Ruby is one of the best water polo players Caltech has had. A three year letterman and an All-Conference per- former in his iunior year, Bob was one of the big reasons the Beavers tied for the league championship this season. Aside from water polo, Bob is also a good skier, an interesting bridge player, and an outspoken critic of Barry Gold- water. During his spare time, Bob studies ME. WILLIAM K. SHUBERT OFF-CAMPUS Coming from a real pit lthey take out 1 million pounds of copper a day--Morenci, Arizonal, he soon fell in with that rowdy crowd from Phoenix, and became a char- ter member of the A.S.S.S. Along with this he was an active member lbridge, hearts, eth of Throop Club to the bitter end. Chem. 1 lab convinced this boy to go into engineering and those whizzing electrons hacl attraction, thus future plans include an MS degree in E.E. here at Caltech lsome never learnl and a summer spent at J.P.L. NEIL R. RICHARDSON FLEMING l'Laundry and dry cleaning go out to- night. A hissing sound is heard, and a wet paper napkin strikes Neil's polka-dot waiter's jacket. In addition to laundry, this Seattle man's outside activities in- clude interhouse cross country, interhouse track, freshman track, ASCIT dance class chairman, doughnut salesman, and Flem- ing House co-social chairman. The last activity he had to drop because it threatened to flunk him out lalong with the four other co-social chairmenj. Neil's plans are to go on to graduate school and to return the laundry. MICHAEL R. RUECKER RlCKETTS TBH Another member of the A.S.S.S., this Phoe- nician came to Tech to study Chem. E. A gung-ho Ricketts frosh, Mike carried the brake drum to safety more than once and aided in interhouse athletics. He lettered in football and track but a knee injury and marriage confined his sports activities. Swift lab squelched his interest in chemistry and he switched to E.E. Mike has two children and is a member of Tau Beta Pi. He is coming back for a Masters Degree next year. JERRY SIEGEL DABNEY Jerry came to Caltech from Brockton, Mass, and immediately began to make a great many friends with his all-Ameri- can personality. Among his best friends were the deans and the registration com- mittee, but most of us will remember him because of his reluctance to say not This, coupled with his artistic and mechanical ability, led to the success of many Inter- house dances. He also was a good full- back and an excellent golfer. He is look- ing forward to five years of flying with the U.S. Air Force, after which he will go to work as an A.E.
