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 .

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.

REYNOLD E. KLAGES, JR. Many boys come to the Academy who lack a de- cided interest in its development and welfare. 'flunief' as he is nicknamed, is not one of those in- different and lackadaisical personalities whose only claim upon the .Academy is that he went there. In fact junie', actually bu-bbles over with spirit and in- terest in the school. A friendly atmosphere, where good-natured jokes are paramount, surround himg but this is not his real worth to the Academy. He has participated in all Academy activities from being manager of the football team to a writer on both the Caravel and the Academy Life. Being too 4 light for football, as he discovered when he broke if 2. his leg, Junie was not content until he became at JUNE least manager of that team. This is characteristic of his spirit for his school. He fared better in ten- nis and basketball, and in his senior year was captain of the tennis squad. His school work is beyond reproach and his untiring and valuable aid to the Caravel is greatly appreciated by all who worked with him on this year's publication. This vigorous school life is softened by his everready humor and Commons Room, you got to show me attitude. His light side is an integral part of the Commons Room, where seniors decide important world issues and originate new jokes. It is this type of boy the Academy is proud to claim as its own. For well-balanced and courageous boys with the will to light are badly needed today. lumen Klages, although slight of body and short in stature, personifies the typical American boy who is going to guide his freedom-loving country in the future.
