.ICHN H. FULFORD, JR. For a boy to enter the Columbus Academy in his senior year and immediately negotiate the curriculum with success is a task of no little difficulty. He must be capable 'of adapting himself quickly to a new environment. Yet this is exactly what ,lack Fulford has done. For a first-year boy he has ably adapted himself to his new surroundings, a fact to which his excellent record is clear testimony. But to attribute jackys success to his studies alone would be giving a wrong impression. He has per- sonality. No one denies this. It is his fortune to be gifted with a manner so affable and congenial that he is the friend of all and the enemy of none. Per- haps it is his witty mode of speech. Perhaps it is his pleasant expression, or perhaps it is the way in which IIJACKSXONII he conducts himself. Most likely it is a combina- tion of the three. Yet whatever this trait is, it is undeniable that Iack's personality is captivating, and that his spirit of congeniality has become our spirit of congeniality. Today Jack graduates. His high school education is completed. As he commences upon an- other journey into education memories of this one still linger vividly. just as the Academy has made a lasting impression upon him, so has he left a permanent memento with it, for his spirit of affability remains, deeply imbedded in the hearts of his classmates. . carat , up J M i Football 4 ,f L' Golf 4 Academy Life 4 Cwlee Club 4 YV! 5, Caravel 4 8 'I ' V College preference, Amherst Y, fa ,Af Ambition, Professor if f K' 25

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

rv 'Nl Y rnewfggi kg H A- .1if ,a5zw1.',5zgfqpf gf fn , U! iw ROBERT F. GOLDBERG No man can entirely quench the Hames of en- thusiasm. Its embers are always present, sometimes burning unseen, but always burning passionately. To him who possesses it it is a virtue. To him who applies it it is an assurance. Combine with this zeal a capability, a culture, and an intellect and you have the character of Robert F. Goldberg-a char- acter plain, simple, yet rare, and laudable. Goldy, as he is called, does indeed possess this 'N indomitable spirit, but not only does he possess this lust for success but also the means of obtaining it, a still nobler virtue-an intelligence and an intellect far superior and far more developed than the aver- K age. Certainly no man can discount this, and his 'IGOLDYH record is clear testimony of this fact! Member of the Student Council, class officer, member of the Academy Life and Caravel staff, participant in the Clee Club and Tennis team are but a few of his accomplishments. Yet these, alone, have definitely established him as an indispensable part of the school, a guide and incentive to others, and above all a leader in the eyes of his instructors as well as those of his schoolmates. But these are not Bob's greatest accomplishments. His supreme achievement has been the growth of his character. Long years ago an unknown, undeveloped, and callow boy entered the Academy. Over the tortuous road of learning he traveled, sometimes fast, sometimes slowly, yet always surely and successfully, until now he emerges as a man, a mature, respected, and developed personality. Certainly no one can deny that success will be his. sf ' gs' .TIM ' J? 1 T U M ', 6 Giee Ciub 1, 2, 3, 4 , , ' Football 3 .
