Mike Simpson is the paragon of paradoxes. A gruff, solid moun- tain climber with a hair trigger temper, he is also active in his church and he is a lover of Greek music. He can play a guitar and ride a motor- cycle with equal facility. Fond of Hemingway and sideburns that iust won't grow, our rough and ready comrade leaves Cincinnati for New Hampshire in June. Don Slowik is the embodiment of the strong, silent type-an ex- ample from which many of us could no doubt profit Those people who know him welt, though, know that his hulking exterior conceals true wit. Oft disguised as a twenty-year-old construction worker, Don has no problems with the opposite sex. While casually shuffling through life at Country Day, he has gain- ed distinction both as a poet and as one of the very few who has ever fought Mr. Yeiser to a draw in the never ending war against hair. Our bittersweet romantic leaves with no remorse but rather a sign of relief. Michael Hollingsworth Simpson Donald Charles Slowik 20 WMV i w

5. Charles Straus, Jr. Ralph Larry Todd Charlie Straus is the original hacker of all time. He has elevated the life style of the hacker from the mundane to the sublime. For one as practiced as Charlie, the art of being a hacker has transcended the field of sports to permeate every aspect of his being. There's no denying it- Charlie is a hacker in every sense of the word. Because of this, few are aware of Charlie's ability to play guitar or even read a book. Rest assured that he does both ithough not with equal facilityl. Lite is like taking a bath on Friday, knowing that on Saturday you will be covered by dirt, Michael Miller, Age 4 Genius, by one definition, is the infinite capacity for taking pains. Larry Todd is a genius. Larry's indefatigable addition to hard work has caused many of us to question his assertion that he is indeed from the planet earth. Wandering on his rounds with head cocked pensively to one side and hair unkempt, he seems oblivious to the cares which beset the less motivated student. Behind this deceptively shabby facade lurks the mind of a devoted scholar of the fine arts-poetry, music, literature, and classical languages. 22
