Thorpe has a very graphic and satiric sense humor, and he is constantly waiting for any unexpecting student to utter some erroneous remark so that he may lash back with one of his notorious puns. Thorpe's humor has now strongly influenced Nfzfnreny, a satiric magazine which he and Terry Clatten- burg put out. Thorpe follows seriously the extracurricular activities that, he enters. His roles in the Players' productions were both well executed and appreciated. He is also an experienced artist and plans to enter art school following graduation. In the fall, Thorpe plays soccer. He is very light, but makes up for this lack by his determination. He is loyal to athletic and social functions, and his school spirit is excellent.

Football 55, 56 Squash 56 dent dent It is Friday morning, eight-thirty. In the study hall a hundred or so boys are milling around. Presently a well-proportioned boy with dark hair, Bermuda shorts, and a collegiate manner walks to the front of the room. The crowd becomes silentg under the leader- ship of Student Council President Dickson, another school meeting has begun. Vlhatever small part of his time is not taken up by his duties as Council chairman is usually devoted to the Chestnut Hill Academy Players, another group of which he is the leader. For the past two years he has appeared in starring roles and is easily one of the finest actors to attend the school within the past decade. Scholastically he does very well, even to the point of making the high honor roll every now and then. Jesse is also quite interested in athletics. The story of how he rose from comparative obscurity on the junior varsity baseball team to nearly depose the legendary Albert Nesbitt as last year's batting champion will long be told around school. Jesse, an ardent soccer player, co-captained this year's soccer team. 'less loves to play ice hockey and spends much time of the winter term at the Wissahickon Skating Club. JESSE D. J. DICKSON ll!

Ever since his arrival thirteen years ago, Tom has shown himself to be a hard- working member of our class. Tom has a special aptitude in financial adventures. His work in preparing the yearbook, selling tickets for the Proms and the Players, and helping many of our class organizations has earned him an excellent reputation as a business manager. While here at Chestnut Hill, Tom has been active in all the school's music organizations. In fact he has done everything from singing in the Glee Club to playing a hot trombone in the jazz band. Tom's pet interest is this band of which he is the leader, organizer, impresario, and trombonist. Tom's athletic ability has also been felt around school. He plays end on the varsity football squad, forward in basketball, and singles in tennis. During the summer Tom likes to play golf and tennis at either the Philadelphia Cricket Club or his favorite summer re- sort, Buck Hill Falls. THOMAS A.
