Bud is fortunate to possess a fine intellectg it is not surprising that he distinguished himself in the Merritt Scholarship Contest. He manages to do good work with a minimum of effort expended. When he has a free period, he usually spends it in the Campur Lmztern room or in the physics lab where he can converse while helping others with their work. Bud's participation in school institutions includes the Players, Camjlzzy Lmzferzz, and the Chapel Committee. Although a resident of distant Valley Forge, he faithfully attends all the school's social events. Between these he finds the Main Line extremely attractive. Bud is quite sportsminded: he likes soccer and baseball. But his chief interests are boats and cars. Since his family has had a boat for many years, Bud has become an experienced sailor and enjoys spend- ing as much time as he can on the open seas. His interest in cars, already keen before his sixteenth birthday, only became more acute on the receipt of his drivers license this fall.

P. By far the class of 59's most formidable athlete, Pearson has been an integral part of everything around Chestnut Hill Academy. Some of Ceep's more stunning feats include his rendition of Falstaff in last year's play, Henry IV,' his singing in the Chestnut Hill Academy Cctet for the past two years, and his performances on the varsity baseball team since his fourth form year. He has the rare distinction of having earned letters in four different sports. In the fall he played in the backfield of the varsity football and was a standout on pass defense. During the winter C. P, played on the basketball team. Baseball is his big sport, but he managed to attend enough track meets to win a letter in this sport too. His biggest contribution to the school has been his work as president of the newly-formed Athletic Association, which is com- posed of the captains of all the varsity teams. Under his direction the A.A. has provided transportation for games and has given two dances. 3

VUILLIAM XV. RODE, JR. Bill Brel Age 19 Entered School 151 Oakley Road Upper Darby. Pennsylvania Light Blue 1958 You lore. Brother Bart. -BROTHER BRET Football 58 n 'xl X ' 3 M K x i Bill, or Bret as he is called by a few classmates, is a new addition to our class this year. However, this posed no problem for him, as he immediately made friends, who find him amusing and quite genial. This fall, Bill was a standout on the Varsity Football team. He played right halfback on both offense and defense, and his nimble- ness and ability on offense made him one of the high scorers of the season. Academically, Bill is determined and hard-working, be it in English class or struggling among tangled pulleys in the physics lab. Off campus, Bill's interests lead him to Upper Darby, where he keeps a small harem. After heading several expeditions to his hunting ground, Bill introduced a couple of Seniors to new female chums. One of Bret's trademarks is a black Stetson, which matches his black Plymouth. He is seen sporting both on his excursions to Upper Darby. 33
