ASTRONOMY BIOLOGY JOEL A. MICHAEL FLEMING Joel began as a typical gung-ho frosh physicist, but having seen the light he is finishing as a gung-ho biologist. Dur- ing this metamorphosis he has also be- come a typical Fleming boor, as inveterate bridge player, a persistent JV soccer player, and as a manager, the slave driver of the swimming team. Rumor has it that he has become a beakish and somewhat less than infallible UCC. With this sordid background he is a prime can- didate to become a grad student at some indiscriminant school, moioring in of all things, neurophysiology! I MILES W. MCLENNAN RICKETTS A member of the numerous Class of 1960.5, Bill came to the center of the known universe from Ohio. Besides an exponentially decaying CPA, among the things he collected at Tech were numerous friends, 2 swimming letters, a taste for hi-fi, a waIk-on part in an ASCIT play, 4 trophies for junk collecting, and a beautiful wife. After bouncing harmlessly off physics, he settled down to his tree love, astronomy. After graduation, he Wlll appropriately enough become a sonar engineer and do his part to extend the arms race. LELAND H. HARTWELL OFF-CAMPUS Originally from Glendale, Lee transferred to Tech following his freshman year at Glendale College. Ignoring the pleas of football coach La Brucherie, Lee dedicates himself to becoming an excellent bioloe gist. For his efforts he achieved honor standing in. his iunior and senior years. Next year Lee will venture to Boston and MIT where he will continue his studies in the field of Biochemical Genetics. With Lee will go his attractive wife Judy and young son Tod. LAURENCE J. SLOSS FLEMING Larry is one of the most unusual charac- ters seen in Fleming House in a long time. Whether this is good or bad de- pends on your point of view. At any rate no one can imagine Fleming without Larry. His socially approved activities have included being librarian and social chairman several times, but his genius has more often been applied to other activities. His familiar lunprintablel greet- ing to House members returning from dates have been a boon to four genera- tions of Women are Evil Club Presidents and his church activities have brought salvation and baptism to courtless Flem- ing. Men, Larry will undoubtedly be best remembered for his role in The Sloss Case and the subsequent Doug Stalin McLane dictatorship.

THOMAS A. TISCH LLOYD TBII In spite of the fact that he made Tau Beta Pi as a Senior, Tom Tisch's advisor swears that he has taken a maior in extra curricular activities. As a freshman Tisch was captain of the freshman water- polo team, got elected to the ASClT Board as Representative-at-Large, lthe firstl, and finished the year as a member of the swimming team and Frosh Athletic Manager. Sophomore year he lettered in varsity waterpolo, and to the delight of his teachers showed a spark of interest in engineering by joining the IRE. As a iunor lhe ran for an office and lostl he wrote for the California Tech, then teamed up with John Todoroff to edit the Wretchecl Rag. His senior year, was high- lighted by his selection as captain of the varsity waterpolo team, and subsequent choice as guard on the All-Conterence Waterpolo team. At last notice, though, Tisch had decided to go on for a higher education, and was planning to take a Masters degree in EE from any school that would accept him. CHRIST O. VELLINE RUDDOCK TBH BYRON F. SUMMERS OFF-CAMPUS DAVID P. TURNER DABNEY In addition to learning all the things a good EE should know, Dave learned the techniques for fixing elections as chair- man of the elections committee. Since the outcome of football games can't be rigged, his presence as senior manager of the football team was to no avail. Dave also has been an active member of the student shop, and rounded out his extra-curricular activities by being a UCC in Dabney House. Dave is planning to continue his education in Grad school next year, then to put in 3 years as a lieutenant in Uncle Sam's Air Force before going out to make his first million. GARY O. WALLA BLACKER Leaving his girl in San Diego, Gary came north to grow to manhood at Caltech. All in life is not electrical engineering he said, but developing socially. He prompt- ly ioined Blacker House, ROTC, Glee Club and eventually the EE option. After three years of frivoling away from his home, with girls, music, rifle shooting, and EE, he decided to share his social wisdom and become president of Blacker, winding up his term by winning the lnterhouse sing. He has also been voted the man with the best liked tool box on campus, received an Honor Key, and is an alumni representative. Gary found it easy to get a iob if you're in ROTC. To prove how eager he is, Gary is marrying the girl back home and has promised Proctor and Gamble he can make soap bubbles elec- trically.

BIOLOGY DOUGLAS K. STEWART RlCKETTS From the State of Northern California Doug came to us with all sorts of ambi- tion to be a Doctor of Medicine and surprisingly enough after four years of science, leaves the same way. His room- mates must admit that he snaked a great deal, achieving amazingly good grades from this effort. Besides having a lot of the girls from Santa Barbara at his peck and call, Doug, a four year letterman in track, was athletic manager of Ricketts House in one of its most successful years. In his iunior year he was elected to the ASCIT BOC, proving that not only Ric- ketts but also the rest of his classmates consider him one of the most responsible as well as stable individuals at Caltech. Doug is Stanford bound which ought to round out his education. WILLIAM R. BAUER DABNEY TBII Almost from the first day he arrived at Tech Bill Bauer has been engaged in an extraordinary wide variety and large volume of campus activities. Every time he has left one activity or office to take up another, he has left with an increased reputation for efficiency, dependability, and initiative. These were the qualities he showed as a member of the BOC and later as BOC Secretary, as a Feature Edi- tor of the California Tech, an assistant editor of the Big T, member of the EPC, ASCIT secretary and most recently and most importantly as ASCIT President. Even more amazing is that while participating in all these activities Bill has compiled a first rate academic record. In spite of his obviously bright future as a chemist, Bill has decided to study psychology. He has been awarded a Marshall Eellowship so the next two years will find him studying CHEMISTRY at Oxford. GARRET M. lHLER FLEMING The Great God Garret, as he was known at times to his Sundry devotees and multitudinous detractors, began his check- EDWARD 1- EVANS . PAGE ered career as a Fleming man and would- To the casual observer, Ed Evms looks be chemist by arriving on campus with like he's asleep. For four years, though, Ed has opened his eyes every spring long enough to play Interhouse football. This year his excellent quarterbacking led Page to an undefeated season-much the same way he led Ricketts to an un- defeated season his freshman year. When not playing football, Ed plays Chemistry. his pelvis in a sling. In spite of the rigors of a Caltech education, it is still the same old Gary who will graduate this June with the rest of the remnants of the class of '61. Even a year as house president has failed to dim his iaundiced eye, nor has the groveling grind abated his cynicism one whit. Soon he will march resolutely onward, secure in the knowl- edge that whatever the future may hold, it might be worse. 3i
