GLENN S. GOODWIN To characterize a man completely in one phrase is clearly impossible. But one may obtain an insight into the character of an individual by a study of his motto. Now a motto is nothing more than an aim or a philosophy expressed as an aphorism. In the case of some this motto is a rule which serves as their guide in the game of life. I shall always do my bestf, This is the motto of Glenn Goodwin. Not merely in the classroom, but in every activity in which he engages Glenn strives to do his best. On his American History reports he spends at least twice as much time as any other boy in the classg his work on this Yearbook has been monumental, his efforts to enhance the prestige of the seniors can not be underestimated. GLENN Only by those working with him can the true value of this characteristic be fully appreciated. The all- out spirit with which he undertakes a task seems to incite and encourage his fellow-workers, in- spiring them to work a little harder. It is men like Glenn who will forever keep America from defeat and will insure the future of Democracy. f xQMllllqV . Q 4 Caravel 1, 2, 3, 4 Academy Life 2, 3 Coach of -lr.

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 .

pw WJ! JOHN R. HOLDEN There is some doubt as to how most of us will remember J. R. Holden. For there are two separate classifications for him. Some of us shall remember him as the athlete, others, as the friend he was to us. Most of us shall, I am sure, remember him as a blending of the two. J. Rfs attitude as captain of the football team was an inspiration to every boy on that team. He realized that there was to be no opportunity to rest on laurels, and the example of real fighting spirit he gave not only won him a posi- tion on the all-city football team, but elicited comments from rival coaches and our own coach that there was a boy who not only gave all he had to f the sport, he gave more than he had. J. R. R. makes friends effortlessly, and what is more important, he keeps them. The high degree of popularity and the athletic honors that he achieved are sufficient reason for jealousy, yet no one was jealous of R., though many were exceedingly envious. Perhaps this is due to the modesty that R. feels concerning his sporting achievements, but on the other hand, it is probably due to the fact that every would-be rival for his position in the school likes and admires R. too much to begrudge him his conquests. J. R. plans to leave Academy sometime late this spring for Notre Dame University where we are sure to hear of him. 4 S ff' 7, C Q X ' .' 4 A6 1 its ' I ? Athletic Association 4 ,, ,fx .
