CASE You have probably all read stories of how Mickey Sims won the big game against Middleton by his sensational playing, or by his last-minute basket, or by his ninth-inning home rung you are also familiar with the Mickey Sims at boarding school -the admiration of the faculty, the champion of the younger students. The Academy is indeed proud of Ward C. Case, its Mickey Sims. It is not a fair tribute to him to speak of Butch Case as an Academy Senior in the class Mickey Sims. It is not a fair tribute to him to speak of him as Ward Case, the man, the individual in whom those rare qualities of application, sincerity, courage, and truthfulness are so intermingled as to BUTCH produce one at Whom the world, pointing with pride, might Well say: There indeed stands a Man. In his six years at the Academy K'Butch,' Case's record has been brilliant: Regular on three varsity teams since his sophomore year, winner of the coveted Athlete of the Year cup in his Junior yearg victor in the Junior Speaking Contest of last year , President of his class, Academy's representative in a recent Columbus Town Meeting. With his graduation this June the Academy will not lose 'KButch Case completely, nor will his classmates, for he has left all those who have known him some cherished thing that time will not tarnish and separation will not dim. l 1 JT - I' , 1 Athletic Association 4 4' ro Q Basketball 2, 3, 4.

JOSEPH C. CAMPBELL To some, the making of friends is a difficult task, a thing to be worked on, and a technique to be im- proved. To joe Campbell, however, the possession of friends is part of his make-up. joe is one of those persons whom it is difficult, if not impossible, to dislike, even in the most passive manner. He is a comedian, and an actor. l-lis collection of jokes, though not that of a Benny, is of enviable size and quality, while his frequent impromptu jokes are always at their 'fcorny best . A natural actor, espe- cially vocally, joe often keeps the Commons Room in a state of hilarity. There is not a person in the school in whose presence we feel happier. Although he takes his humor with him wherever he goes, joe is also a student and an athlete. In HSOISH the class, he always puts forth all that he has ftypi- cally joej and his instructors all appreciate the fine quality of his work. On the lield he excells. As a member of the football team this year, joe did a lionls share of the work. ln the tea-time basketball league, he was the life of many an afternoon, and as this year's baseball captain, he is doing a wonderful job in keeping up the morale. At every game there is one predominant voice to be heard, heckling the pitcher, or encouraging the fellows on the team but always in the same jovial manner. Today, as never before, we need people who can see the humorous side of life as well as the serious. Such a person is joe Campbell, who can be serious when the situation calls for it, and jovial when hilarity is proper. v 4 Q 0 om N , Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4 Laptain 4 Basketball 3 Academy Life 3, 4 M.

W V ROBERT M. DAVIS Knowing a man is Very different from being able to characterize him. One may be thoroughly ac- quainted with his hobbies, his tastes, his reactions under any set of circumstances, yet still not be able to make others feel the things he himself knows. To describe personality and temperament and all the varied qualities which make any man an individual is always difficult. ln the case of Robert Davis it is well-nigh impossible. For Bob is different. Not queer, or misanthropic, or eccentric, but different-healthily individualistic and unusual. His abilities and likes and dislikes differ from those of other men, in many ways they are more mature, in others more serious and thought- IIBONBII ful. Some ordinary pursuits appeal to him, but many which are not ordinary, poetry, and writing short stories, and building radios, and music, and electronics. For Bob is a romanticist, pure and simple, he possesses a highly imaginative mind, yet a highly curious and scientific one. Those things he undertakes he accomplishes brilliantly. Those things which interest him lie undertakes. Things which are out of the ordinary fascinate him. Those which are common- place he endures. To acquaintances he seems aloof. To close friends he is a true comrade. He is a philosopher. a scientist, an individualist. Thus may his character be summarized. Of such stuff is greatness often fashioned. ,1- x?g Q Tennis-3 Caravel-4 College preference, M. I. T. Q 7 t '. A X ii I ?'ul5F'i5li P i 1 Ambition, Radio Engineer 24
