Q ' . + Dedication For this yeafs dedication of the Caravel, we look to Charles A. Goodwin and Dana C. Whiting. In them we find not only the inspiration of a teacher but also the warmth of a friend. In them we ind the very spirit of The Columbus Academy-the spirit of high scholar- ship and honor. Mr. Goodwin and Mr. Whiting, in their twenty-hve years as members of the Academy faculty, have earned the profound respect of faculty members and students alike. To their fellow teachers, they are an example. To their students, they are an inspiration. Both in and out of the classroom their cheerfulness and understanding have evoked the ad- miration and respect of all. To Charles A. Goodwin and Dana C. Whiting, we, the class of nineteen hundred and fifty-five, do proudly dedicate this Caravel. Page Four Board of Trustees Otiicers President ,.e,ee,e,ee ee,v,.e,...,...,e H . Bartley Arnold, Ir.

IR. 5'-?s ew , Z 4 A We f S2 Topping the alphabetical list of this year's senior class is one of its best known members, Ken Abbott. Ken, whc is often jokingly called Coon Dog by his classmates, has been a member of this institution of learning for six years, and during this time he has become well acquainted with all the different members of our class, the teachers, and those numerous ruses that enable us to avoid as much homework as possible. Ken has achieved a degree of notoriety by having, one by one, several of his classmates acci- dentally demolish some essential part of his beloved Ford, fully provided with all the speed equipment necessary to leave a strip of rubber fifteen feet long and six inches wide upon his sudden depar- ture frorn the school grounds. Because of religious restricticns, Ken was able to play in only about half of our football games this year, and the- team certainly could have used him on many occasions. Ken also is one of the better divers in the city, but was kept from competition this year because- of illness. It is generally conceded that Ken has the finest head of hair in the class, although a few ignorant dissenters claim that Wolfgang Deemer has raised a superior crop. A good student, Ken excels in Chernistryg and his spectacular successes in unsupervised experimentation can easily be seen by any newcomer to the schcol who wishes to look for the acid holes in the floor of the lab, or who is able to find the sections of the wall that have mysteriously acquired peculiar tints. Ken has decided to follow in his father's footsteps and has chosen medicine to be his life's work. With an inquiring mind and a proportional amount of ability, Ken's success is assured. DONALD ARVIN ALEXANDER J 0'.' ' f K I f I , A Q vIl0l1 m , Q I wig, Q4 I 'T' --rllllllfw R The time is 8:30 AM. The first bell calling the inmates to their places has already sounded. Suddenly the roar of an engine and the squeal of tires is heard. All eyes in the senior room turn ex- pectantly towards Nelson Road. Screaming past the bridge and dodging around cars is a big blue Buick Super-vintage l953. The driver is hunched over the wheel, and only the top of his curly little head can be seen. As the car nears the entrance behind the gym, the driver, hardly slowing, whips around the corner and is lost from view. Will he win this race against time or will he, alas, be late? As the door at the far end of the hall bangs open, the sound of running footsteps echoes through the building. Mr. Bown's eyes are glued expectantly to his watch, and he readies his pencil, preparing to mark down the poor devil's name. lust as the door convulsively swings open, the- last bell rings, and Mr. Bown exultantly roars out, Alexander! You're late! Once again Don Alexander has earned a coveted position on the Saturday time list by his habitual tardiness. Don could claim undisputed championship of the class in this category if it were not for Donny Katz, who, although owning the fastest car in the class, is the slowest coming to school. Alex is a stanch disciple of the theory of self-conservation. He always ccnserves his energy for the greater things in life-such as power-shifting his Buick in drags and talking about his women whom one often hears about but seldom sees. Dago is an above-average athlete. Don's friendly personality and quiet manner have won him numerous friends, and his remarks have dissolved many a bull session into laughter. The world traveller of the class, Alex is forever leaving on Caribbean cruises or trips to Europe. Don is still undecided as to where he will complete his edu- cation, but we are sure that he will be' a success in whatever profession he chooses.

Steadily pulling away from the pack is an object equipped with steadily revolving arms anc mightily kicking legs. Hitting the turn with smooth precision born o long practice, the object flashes up and down the length of the poo to coast in an easy winner. Who is this swimmer that effortlessly sweeps all competition before him? lt is, cf course, Fred Appleton co-captain of this year's swimming team and the best backstroke: in the city. Fred has devoted all his time to swimming, and the long hours of practice have shown results. Ever since' he entered the Academy, Fred has never been c top student, but there was no harder worker in the class. Wher Freddy graduates, he can truly say that he has earned his diploma However, all Fred's time was not spent on studying and swimming Somehcw or other he has found time to play football, clatter arounc the city in the family car, and entertain his friends, male or female with the story of how he raced a destroyer through New York harbo: and beat it to the pier by two full lengths, swimming the while or his back. Freddy's chief claim to fame, besides swimming, is his chapel talk which was titled simply Bees . Yet what a wealth o material and information lay underneath that simple cover. l-li: talk caused many a young student and many an old faculty membe: to revise his knowledge about that old story of the birds AND THE BEESH. Whatever college Fred attends, he will fill a position in it: society securely and capably. No college will ever regret accepting Fred. 4 THOMAS BARTLEY ARNOLD 3 N 'aj kb X . fl Tv v f 4 ll, ,jf 5 3 iiiq nv' -71' The second member of Academy's famed duo of swimming cousins, Tom Arnold, has been one of the mainstays of a strong Academy team for the past two years. Although he specializes in the breast stroke-the city's best at one hundred yards-Tom also swims the backstroke and the individual medley proficiently. As is always the case when an athlete excels in his chosen field, Tom has put in a lot of time and hard work in trying steadily to improve. However, Tom does not limit himself to one sport, but also has played end on the dazzling Academy football team this year. During the spring when a young man's fancy turns towards the Old Heidelberg and other rustic spots, Tom expends his energy lifting a tennis racquet instead of a beer mug, while imitating Pancho Gonzales for the benefit of the tennis team. Tom is also one of the most staunch supporters of Academy's venerable athletic club, Varsity A CLord have mercy on our souls, sirl. For the last two initiations Tom has gladly donated his farm as a wide-open torture chamber where the club's solemn rites are performed, and the new members are welcomed into the organiza- tion with open arms and weighted canoe paddles. Needless to say the pledges regard Tom's generosity with something less than heart- felt gratitude. Despite all his outside activities, Tom has not neglected his studies and ranks high in the class. His grades are good enough, in fact, to earn him a place in the Cum Laude Society. ln a class such as ours where differences in the top students are measured in tenths of points, such an achievement is quite an honor. Tom's natural intelligence and ability coupled with a sense of humor have earned for him many friends. Everyone who knows him feels that at last Tom has developed fully and will be a perfect student for Princeton.

From c class which has succumbed to the hot-rod craze, lim emerges a the top of the list in the art of customizing a car or tuning a car buretor. His pride and joy is a '51, polar-green Ford. tHowever, the car's actual resemblance to a '51 Ford is only superficial.

And will the class ever forget those y-pipes? Iim still blushes whenever that delicate subject is mentioned. The car is not Iim's only interest, he is also an expert or models of all kinds. Iim is an excellent singer and is the tenoi in the senior quartet and also sings in the Glee Club. Iim's singing is almost a fetish with him, and he is constantly searching for new tunes to sing and new contests to enter. Friendly and well-liked, Iim does not excel in his studies, but he works diligently. He plans to go to a preparatory school for one year before- entering college. When he finally arrives at his chosen college, it will receive a valuable asset to the studen body. GEORGE WILLIAM BENEDICT ,fllllils Ava i ' , if-it E L oh ' w,. E 2' D.L. J Over on Broadleigh Road there is a small, comfortable house with a stone front. If a casual passer-by were to stroll past on his evening walk, say around three A.M., he would be sure to see- a light burning in the windows toward the rear of the house on the left. And if this passer-by were industrious and curious enough, he would climb a tree across the street and peep into the window. May- be then he could tell just what momentous work was driving the occupant of the room to slave until all hours of the morning. If he were lucky and the shades were not drawn, the onlooker would dimly be able to discern by the wavering light of a kerosene lantern the figure of a curly-headed youth, hunched over a littered desk with a large folder spread before him. Every now and then this haggard figure would mutter jumbled phrases to himself -all the while snipping papers, gluing pictures, and scribbling illegible sentences in the notebook before him. Periodically his feverish eye would fall upon the wall-sized Marilyn Monroe calendar where the date, May l, was circled in heavy cerise pencil. Above this date would be written two words only, Caravel Dead- line . The occupant of this garret is, then, the editor of our school yearbook, George Benedict. Benny has a job that is coveted by many, but that can be capably filled by few. A hard worker, George showed a great deal of ingenuity and put up a magnificent battle to finish the Caravel before the deadline. Benny proved to be an excellent choice for the job, and the intelligence he showed in achieving honor grades will be manifest in the originality and quality of this year's Carcxvel. Besides holding down the toughest student job in the school, George plays football in the fall, swims in the winter, and plays tennis during the spring. He also sang in the Glee Club this year, and last year sang in the quartet. Friendly and possessing a lively personality, Benny is a long-established member of the gang . By the time he enters Williams next year, Benny should have sufficiently recovered from this job to be ready to launch a highly successful career in college.

To be elected president of a senior class is a significant honor and does not fall on anyone less than a student who is a leader and is pos- sessed of outstanding abilities. The president of this year's senior class, Dave Boothby, readily fulfills all these requirements and has proved to be an ideal choice for the job. I-lardworking and per- severinq, Dave has not only capably handled all the problems that have confronted the class during the Year, but also has attained a degree of excellence in his studies surpassed by very few. As a reward for his ceaseless work, Dave was selected as a member of the Cum Laude Society. Friendly and always ready to laugh at another's joke, Dave is always welcomed by any group that he happens to chance upon. His curly head and the cheery voice that goes along with it are an equally familiar sight and sound on the football field, in the swimming pool, and on the tennis court. Saving some of his ra- tioned time for other activities besides home work and the many and diverse problems involved in keeping our class on the straight and narrow, Dave has played football in the fall for the past two yearsg while during the winter he deserts the dry land for the bene- fit of the swimming teamg and in the spring his interests turn to ten- nis. Around school Dave lends his bass voice-for the betterment of the Glee Club. An accomplished theme writer, Dave contributes freely to the Academy Life through his many articles and is also one of the senior editors on this year's Caravel. A senior editor may be likened to a person who composes epitaphs and elegys. lt is a difficult job, but one which Dave is well suited to handle capably. Dave is going to Williams next fall and, we are sure, will con- tribute a great deal to the school before he graduates. IOHN CHRISTOPHER BROOKHOUSE p D Q 'f'. ' 'r' ' i Q4 K Q Q BQ ln a class which is almost entirely composed of damyanke'es , a staunch supporter of the area south of the Mason-Dixon line naturally would, and does, stand out like QI statue of Sherman in Georgia. This old Kentucky colonel insists his full name is Iohn Christopher Brookhouse. But those' in the know insist that it is Iohn Christopher the South Will Rise Again Brookhouse. Friendly and intelligent, Chris claims direct ties to the Old South, which unfortunately, none of us have ever been able to discover. This does not prevent him, however, from uttering a rebel yell and launching into impassioned oratory whenever the sanctity of the South is threatened. Our expert on history, both ancient and modern, Dixie always knows what he is talking about when- ever a question arises as to the date' of a certain battle or the name of a certain emperor. Chris is what is known as a gentleman farmer and lives on a beautiful pl-antation near Gahanna. How- ever, the distance' involved does not prevent him from commuting to Bexley on weekends to make some poor, misguided, young girl more misguided and perhaps even poorer. An honor student, Chris has served as manager extraordinary for the football team for the past few years and has proven him- self to be a rarity in his field-a manager who actually does some work. This willingness to do a job Well, no matter what it might be, typifies Chris' attitude in his schoolwork. This trait stands out particularly in his oral book reports which have never been below excellent in quality. Besides history as a hobby, Chris follows the old southern cry, Save Your Confederate Money and has a very interesting collection of these pieces of currency. A habit of Chris's that might perhaps be classed as a hobby is his affinity for that renowned eating establishment, the Eastmoor Drive-ln. Almost al- ways a passer-by can see his blue Chevrolet parked in the drive-in with Chris sitting in it. Chris is following Horace Gree'ley's advice and is enrolling at Stanford. We'll miss him next year, and we wish him the best of everything.

A look of almost childish expectation falls over the faces of the audience. Even the careworn relics that comprise the last row brighten a bit and try to forget the grueling ordeal that faces them over the remainder of the day. llt is a Tuesday morning: the time is approximately 82405 the occasion is that hallowed, old tradition-chapel? Suddenly Mr. Dennett glares out from over the pulpit and intones, We will now sing the Doxology, found on page three. The moment has at last arrived. All eyes are glued on the piano located on the right side of the stage. The figure seated on the piano bench is dressed in a set of black threads which are criss- crossed with white lines. To acknowledge the adulation of the crowd, he turns his head and flashes a gleaming smile at his ad- mirers. Then with a toss of his long, black, wavy hair, which is a very lengthy long, he turns back to the keyboard and begins to play with effortless skill. Roy Liberace Deemer has added another triumph to his long list of concert successes in chapel. Who since Mr. Evans has been able to add so much variety to the hymns which the school pro- fesses to sing? An excellent pianist, Roy not only lends his services to the school every Tuesday morning but also has played in several concerts and has won quite a few prizes for his skill at the key- board. Roy works long and hard at his music and his perseverance at the piano has resulted in a consummate skill. Possessing a fine voice, Roy sings lead in the senior quartet and carries the tune for the entire baritone section of the Glee Club. He never becomes angry and is always the quickest with the repartee. Roy has won a great many friends at the Academy, and we only regret that he does not live very close to most of us. De- spite much piano practicing Roy finds enough time to do his studies thoroughly and consequently is an honor student. He is also con- nected with this year's stellar yearbook and spends what little re- maining time he has in trying to help us meet the deadline. A well-rounded student, Roy will be a fortunate addition to the college of his choice. REX HEALD ELLIOTT MW' fri? 6 R if 6. This is approximately what happens on the mornings that Rex Elliott drives the red Pontiac in the senior carpool: In five houses located in different sections of Bexley a weary parent tries to rouse his unconscious offspring from the confines of a bed. ln the sixth house, located on the corner of Maryland and Parkview, this un- conscious offspring automatically answers Yes , when his mother inquires whether or not he is up, and continues to remain uncon- scious. ln the other five houses the young occupants have at last attained a state bordering just above the semi-consciousness and are slowly and painfully trying to dress themselves. At the sixth house the aforementioned occupant slumbers on. ln the other five houses the young men, now almost fully awake, are just sitting down to breakfast. At the sixth house the young man still slumbers. Finally five members of the car pool are ready to depart for school and only await the arrival of the sixth member, who is supposed to drive. Yet what of this sixth member? Where- is he? What is taking him so long? At this moment the subject of our curiosity has finally risen and, remembering that today is his day to drive, is frantically trying to get dressed, wash, eat breakfast, and leave the house at the same time. Finally after half of the group have given up and driven to school themselves, Rex arrives to pick up the remaining few. Leaving a trail of dead squirrels, nervous pedestrians, and bent fenders to mark his passage-Rex finally arrives at school-late, but well-rested. Ox owns the distinction of knowing more people than any other human in Bexley. ln turn he is known and liked by all who come in contact with him. One cannot help liking Rex, and his loose-jointed frame is welcomed by everyone. Rex is not the aptest student in the class, but he works the hardest and always tries his best whether on the football field or in the classroom. A natural comedian, he often convulses his friends with such perfectly serious remarks as Does a ten-gram weight really weigh ten grams? With his warm personality and spontaneously friendly nature, Rex will always be the most liked and respected person in his group. All of his classmates will certainly miss him next year.

N X A hulking figure plods slowly up the hall towards the senior room. Arms dangling limply, this massive shape pauses when he is opposite the door, and turning sideways so that his shoulders will pass through the door, he enters the room. Immediately he is be- sieged with cries of What say, Coon? p Hello dere, Rastusuy and many other terms and gestures oi greeting. Brock Evans has arrived at school. Brock commutes across town from Arlington in one of those economical, gas-saving, '51 Dodges. He can be heard, any time of the day, complaining of the dire penury in which he lives, or explaining why he cannot drive on a double date because he has used up so much gas coming from Arlington. However, his frugal habits have not deprived him of any friends or prevented him from being in the right places at the right times, such as when an ex- pedition is organized to the Old Heidelberg or the urge seizes him to go out with a friend to admire the WBNS radio tower. Somewhere or other in the- deep, dim past the nickname Coon has attached itself to Brock, and he has never been able to escape it. This sur- name is, we believe, the one sore spot in an otherwise happy existence, since, like many humorous things, it has long ago be- come stale and overworked. Possessing a rather touchy temperament, Brock is quick to flare up at seemingly trivial occurrences, but he is usually very easy to get along with and is quickly pacified when angered. Brock is one of the gang , an excellent student in school, and participates in numerous extracurricular activities. He has lent his bass voice to the Glee Club for the last couple of years and has sung in the Iunior quartet. An ideal football prospect with his massive shoulders, Brock bulwarked the center of the line all sea- son, and then turned to swimming during the winter. ln spring Brock turns his talents to the Ccxravel, where he is on the advertising staff, and to other numerous avocations. A sure success, Brock will be an outstanding member of what- ever college he chooses to attend. FRANKLIN LEONHARD IUNKERMANN mm tillltlfffffiit-t ,J 'Nw QW N21- 'tw fliilglkl A green and black Cadillac hardtop pulls up into the school parking lot. A visitor to the school might well believe that it is a form of school bus. However it is only Frank Iunkermann carting his accustomed load of small children from Arlington to face an- other joyous day at school. Frank does this out of the goodness of his heart, but when some grateful mother wishes to repay his kindness with a monetary reward, Frank does not protest too loud or too long before he accepts it. After all, when one is a senior and doing all the things seniors do, every little' bit helps. This help- ful attitude of Frank's is typical of his behavior at school. Always ready and willing to lend a helping hand, Iunky is a welcome sight when it comes to carrying in nets from the tennis courts, or when a volunteer is needed for bringing in the equipment from an intramural baseball game. Because of his small size, Frank never competed in varsity sports at school much to the regret of the coaching staff, for he is an excellent athlete. ln intramural competition lunk is always the star performer, whether he is playing touch football, basketball, or softball. Besides taxiing the younger students and participating in intra- mural sports, lunk also sings in the Glee Club and is the business manager of the Academy Life. lt was partly due to his efforts that our school paper was such a success this year. Frank is an average student in most of his courses, but he possesses an envious knack for mathematics and is an honor student in both trigonometry and advanced algebra. Personable and always ready with a wide grin, Frank is bound for Ohio Wesleyan, where he is certain to make a favorable im- pression on both students and faculty members.

Donny is always twell, almost alwaysl neat and well-dressed. He wears attractive but conservative clothes and almost never has a five o'clock shadow as do certain other members of the class. He is never loud except in athletic com- petitions and has a warm, friendly personality to augment his ap- pearance. As befits a true gentleman of sporting blood, Don spurns to drive the chrome-plated monster that is the American automobile and instead careens around town in a bright red Triumph, an English sports-car. The only disadvantages in this car are that it seats only two and that it requires two husky men at least fifteen or twenty minutes to raise the top in case of a sudden rain. But that element of adventure and surprise serves only as a further in- centive to a true sports-car addict like Don. Displaying admirable self-restraint, Don does not spend all of his time with the Triumph but also participates in all three major sports and manages to do his studies quite well in the little remain- ing time. Last year Don showed great promise in the line, but before the season had hardly begun, he suffered a side injury and was lost to the team for most of the remainder of the season. After his unfortunate luck in football, Don was in for better times at both basketball and baseball where he turned in excellent performances. Besides being an honor student, Donny was sports editor for the school newspaper: and during football season, he wrote up our games for some of the local newspapers. Don's major ambition at the moment is to become a whiffen- poof and join the gang down at Maury's. With his strong character and inherent friendliness, Don is a sure bet to be successful in Whatever he- endeavors to do. THOMAS DODGE KIRKENDALL T l .as 'T w 4 4n1 my e ral Tom Kirdendall is a collector of unusual gadgets par excellence. lf you should be throwing an eraser or filling someone's pocket with water and are suddenly blinded by a flash of light, don't run. You aren't caught. lt's only Tom and his miniature camera re- ccrding the common daily occurrences of Academy life. Torn and his little box the size of an ice cube mischievously invaded every room and provided much entertainment for the first half of the year. Together they gaily recorded pure water turning red in the labora- tory or Benedict hopping about minus one shoe. After mid-years as an exuberant expression of joy the camera was put away and in its place appeared a gun. This thimble-sized weapon shct blanks that sounded like a starter's gun. The advan- tage of such a weapon was that it could be fired behind a master's back and then concealed in the palm of the hand while Tom strolled complacently away. However, this exuberance was short-lived not because college boards dampened Tom's spirits, but because several deaf ears attested to the fact that the noise was too loud. Thus the blank-shooting pistol no longer reflects Tom's happy spring fever but has given way to the former camera. Tiger Tom joined our class at the beginning of our Iunior year and has earned this nickname Tiger by being just the opposite-ct quiet, reserved, friendly person. He rarely gets into any real trouble but is always receiving the blame for countless pranks of the other boys. This playfulness is taken good-naturedly, and he manages tc get in a sly retaliation here and there. Since Tom's home is in Marysville, he has taken longer to make real friends among the class, but has succeeded admirably. By spending the nights at Mr. Whiting's house Tom became noted this year as the one boy with math exam information and the one Senior who rode a bicycle to schcol every morning.

Look! A hole! The fullback, number thirty-three, is driving thrcugh. What a pile-up! But it looks like a good eight yard gain. lt's the top of the eighth, and the pitcher is striding toward the mound. A cheer rises from the crowd of blue tunics. He winds up, eyes the bases, and-strike one! Again he Winds up: it's beautiful-low and over the inside corner for strike two! NoW's the fatal moment! Exam papers are being handed back. Heck! Only a 70, and you got a 65! What's this? Mr. Goodwin says that all the papers were low except for . . . except for . . . of course Bruce's. These brief incidents give some idea of Bruce Miller's Wide range of abilities. ln his nine years at the Academy he has con- stantly been one of the top athletes and scholars in our class. ln- deed we all recognize his ability to do well Whatever he wants to-whether it be writing an essay, carrying a ball, or raising cain. Besides natural talent Bruce is endowed with a pleasant smile and gregarious personality which make him the center of any group. His love of fun and playing pranks twhile making Bruce an enjoyable live wire at any partyl have caused no end of agony to masters in past years. However this year he seems to have settled down to use his abilities more profitably and has become the highest scholar in the class. Bruce's natural leadership in athletics was recognized by his being elected foot-ball co-captain. ln this capacity he helped to lead a not too strcng team through a fair season, often putting us in position to score by a sustained up-field drive. ln baseball he once again held a position of importance. Bruce entered into many extra- curricular activities. He sang in the Glee Club and the Senior Quartet, he pounded out articles for the Academy Life, and wrote half the senior articles for the Carczvel. and did his turn as student council representative. WILLIAM CARY MOLER ,,,yk,r?iQ . Mm 91,9 T. Qt A familiar early-morning sight in the Senior's room is Bill Moler's six-foot frame hunched over a chair or perched on the window-sill. As a member of the early arrivals club he spends the time before school either studying or, more often, joking 'amiably with the rest of us. Bill is an easy-going, sociable guy who makes sly references to the rod or tells a playful lie with a straight face-e.g .... Yes, we had those two poems for today. You can ask Arnold. . . . The droll complacency of his personality lasts through-out the day--whether he is trying uselessly to imitate Bill Rinehart's faces or declaring in a persistent voice to Mr. Whiting Sir, you're wrong. Nevertheless Bill is always serious at the right time and a very conscientious student completinghis scho- lastic record as a member of the Cum Laude Society. Bill for Moe as he is calledl is also very active in athletics. He was captain of the tennis team last year and as first singles man he assured us of at least one point in each match. This year he was again elected captain but could not play under O.H.S.A.A. rules because- by February he had been in high-school four years. He was 'a sad figure this spring hanging around the tennis courts watching everyone else practice. Bill's other favorite sport is basketball and with his ability to play every position he dropped many a point into the basket. Here again he was captain but once again he could not play in all the games because of the O.H.S.A.A. rules. Although Moe's tall frame was unsuited for football, he even tried that sport. But after a few weeks preferred to give it up and practice his tennis. Finally as a golfer he rounded out his full program of athletics. As for extra-curricular activities Bill excelled in those too. Apparently getting to school early gave him plenty of time to study, for he wrote articles for the Life , was sports editor of the Caravel , sang in the Glee Club, and added his grimacing face to the quartet.

As the drab figures plodded around the field a spot of white showed every now and then. Certainly no one would wear a white football uniform! Oh yes! Robbie Rex would . . . and did. The jeers of Whats the matter? Are you afraid the dirt won't show on a regular uniform? soon died out as Robbie proved through the season that he could not only kick well but also play a rough game. As end on the offensive and left halfback on the defensive Rob was one of the mainstays of the team. Our co-captains brilliant catches complete with ball babbling and his game-saving tackles certainly did dirty his uniform until it was a dark grey. Perhaps Rob's highest tribute comes in the fact that he was both feared and revered as one of the best runners and tacklers during practice sessions. Robbie is a likeable chap easy to get along with and very funny at times. Not only is his love of fun apparent when he is in a group, but also it shows up when he is at school. It's a rare chemistry class in which Robbie doesn't have some trick or prank up his sleeve. It was he who originated the wet pocket gag-where you fill a test tube with water and insert a stopper and glass tube making it easy to fill any pocket. Although not one of the best students, Rob does an average job. Aside from football Rob's main interests are his blue Ford con- vertible and a certain house in Eastmoor. He seems to give his car almost as much attention as he gives to that house, for it is one of the cleanest in the parking lot. The shine of the finish reflects Rob's own personal neatness, and naturally, like any car lover he has lowered it and added skirts at the same time. We all feel that Rob's skill in football and likeableness will earn him much admiration and many friends Wherever he goes. CHARLES THOMAS RICE M In 6 '3 J Q M 82 1'N,A,nA f Up roars a hardtop Olds eighty-eight with duals and a slightly lowered rear end. Out jumps Tom, its proud possessor, flip- ping the ever present silver dollar. Rumor has it that he is the only boy in the class who steers with his toes in order to flip coins in both hands. All kidding aside, Tom is a likeable boy who can fit in with any group. Having been at the Academy for eleven years, he knows all the boys and most of the masters quite well. Tom is courtecus and seldom boisterous, always ready with a quick joke or playful shove as the occasion demands. The senior class showed its appre- ciation of his friendliness and trustworthiness by electing him treasurer for two years. lt's toc bad the class had so little money to put under his supervision! In Tom one can see the modesty that prompted him to comment calmly the morning after his seventeenth birthday, Guess what. Dad got me a new Oldsmobile hard top. However, the wash me signs scrawled in the dust on Tom's fender are definitely not characteristic of his habitual neatness. Tom is one of the more prominent golf enthusiasts in our class. He even neglects to flip his coin when concentrating on an approach shot or putt. No matter hcw hot or sultry the weather, he can usually be found teeing off at the Columbus Country Club almost any day in the summer. When not golfing Tom swims, plays tennis or base- ball, and would play football except that he is too light. He won his letter not only in swimming but also in golf. Indeed Tom is one of those lucky boys who has a natural ability in every Wpe of athletics. This prowess will stand him in good stead at whatever college he attends.

This question has but one logical answer--Bill Rinehart. He lives the- farthest away tin Iohnstownl and yet reaches school at 7:10. His Weary smile greets the next arrivals as he seems to rise out of a daze. Rumor has it that Bill studies during his hour of leisure, and this seems to be borne out by the fact that he is one of the top students in the class. lt is he who always has the correct Algebra answers and the highest math average to boot, but unfortunately com- positions are his downfall. Bill wears a wide, happy grin almost all the time and has short furry hair that has earned him the nick-name of fuzzy bear. One of his favorite pastimes is that of carrying on a ceaseless feud with Moler-whether it be chasing him with a pencil or squeezing his fingers in a vice-like grip. However, good-natured Bill never gets mad but puts on a pretended anger. You can see his eyes light up and his mouth drop half open as he growls threateningly, Moler . Fuzzy Bear has become known for the weird faces he makes in fifth period study hall. By contorting his mouth and crossing his beacly little eyes, he sends the library into fits of laughter. This spring was a harried one for Bill. As the Caravel photog- rapher he was continually reminding boys to wear their coats and ties and rushing around to get the right groups assembled. After the pictures were developed he spent hours in attempting to cut them down with straight edges. Many a French class was skipped as the blade on the cutting board sliced and pruned. Be- cause of his duties this winter and fall, Bill has not participated in athletics this semester. However, last fall he went out for football and While not outstanding did, like many of us, serve as a tackling and blocking dummy for the others to practice on. In his Iunior year Bill won his A in swimming and filled out his athletic pro- gram with tennis. THOMAS TOD ROSS I ' w I L f-ff' H, 11 ' 1 . , Q ' 'I I l -'Ar V' 1 - 6' 'tw 1 , lu RRRoaRRSWISHhhh! What was that blue streak? Why it was Tod Ross, of course, racing madly around Sunbury's twisting curves in his Olds 88 ! Certainly one of the gamest hot rodders in the class Tod never turns down a chance to drag or race-whether it be with Deemer's '28 Chevey or Abbott's '55 Cadillac. He' can be seen any morning rushing to school: but we know it is not because of his anxiety to reach dear old Academy, for like many boys Tod can hardly wait to get his diploma. Tod is truly one of the so-called country gang , for he not only lives outside the city, but also oc- casionally works on his father's farm near Iohnstown. A few years back Tod was one of the first boys in the class to take a trip to Europe. Having jaunted merrily through England, France, and Swit- zerland, he returned to Columbus a man of the world-a connoisseur of wine, woman, and song. With such a broad, liberal education, his knowledge of all kinds of cars, and his zest for enjoyment, Tod would make the perfect playboy. He is not only adverse to any unnecessary strain or toil, but also has that certain bearing of pride and obstinacy that is nec- essary. Tod also has the enviable ability of conversing easily with anyone. This fluent tongue-not idle but full of interesting stories- together with his congenial personality add the finishing touches to his playboy characteristics. A few years ago Tod had a touch of polio which prevented him from playing hard in any sport and limited him to the Goon Squad. He has steadily improved and could have played several of the varsity sports this year, but apparently had become so accus- tomed to the Goon Squad that he was loathe to quit. Nevertheless he did try reserve basketball for a while and in the spring played some tennis. lf Tod has not been too active in sports, he certainly was one of the staunchest team supporters. At any football, bas- ketball, or baseball game he was sure to be present and was always willing to take anyone with him. We all know that Tod's friend- liness will stand him in good stead at Earlham, the college of his choice, and afterwards in life.

At times he is heard to mutte strange words about the aperature, ratio, timing, grain, or emul sion. With a complete darkroom at home Ioe was a natural choicr for Life photographer and has turned out many excellent pictures He fumbled in the darkness to record the Academy-C.S.G. Plat and stumbled over feet in the gym to take pictures of the Senior Master volley ball game. Next to photography tinkering with hi: black Oldsmobile is a favorite pastime-. He seems to know even working part of the car and can repair them all, which is especiallg helpful after football games when his motor tends to go dead. Although loe was too small to play football, he was certainlf kept busy snapping pictures on the sidelines, and when basketbal season rolled around he put on his sneakers. A small fellow, Ioe played on both the reserves and varsity as guard. During the spring he took up the tennis racquet and while not winning a single: position did well enough to capture first doubles. At this time it i: impossible to say how well he and his partner will do, but we al are sure that it will be pretty well. Ioe is known in the class for his odd ways of doing math prob lems and his willingness to help. Having taken some sort of mail at Bexley he often comes up with strange theroms and method: which he carefully tries to explain. Nevertheless in other ways hi: ideas are very useful no matter if they concern ways to raise money or how to make a pump from a washing machine. Ioe': eagerness to help in any manner makes him a friend with master: and students alike. He also has a level headedness and calmnes: that prevent him from losing his temper even though he is the brun of many pranks. We all know that this willingness to help and hi: calmness will earn Ioe many friends in the years to come. l IAMES COOPER SIMONS SLACK f. xx x ? -8,0 Wg g i J-fir The door opensg and in walks a tall, gangly lad with a finger bandaged and his leg taped.

There also lurks in his six foot frame a love of fun and deviltry. Who in the chemistry lab can shoot a flame half as long as his from the gas jet, or pour water so dextrously into a classmates pocket? However, at times the quieter side of Iim's nature is apparent. If you were to drop in at his home, you would probably find him listening to records or working on a church project, both of which activities interest him a great deal. lim sings in his church choir and enters into many church festivals. Somehow his church work became known this year and he was given the name Deacon. As for records he keeps a stack in his room and when not rodding around in Abbott's Car he listens to Strauss waltzes and Beethoven symphonies. Scholastically lim manages to hold his cwn. He seems to spend most of his time enjoying himself and giving others a good time, not to mention the hours spent dribbling a basketball. As a forward on the basketball team he did much to help Academy to victory in the games we won. VVhile it is obvious that Iim's main interest is basketball, he also has gone out for track, and manager of the tennis team. The track team had a brief, one year season under Mr. Heys and then vanished. But it is still a familiar sight to see tall lim crouching behind a net, trying to mend its holes or adjust its height.

As part of the swimming team, he dove in all the mee-ts, doing extremely well. Anyone who saw the City Relays remembers the smooth, sleek dives that won him a medal as third best diver in the city. ln the spring Andy held his usual place on the golf team, and with the practice he has had at the Columbus Country Club, he is one of the mainstays of the team. Pem is certainly not the guietest boy in our second period senior study hall, but he somehow manages to get a lot done. We seniors know that whenever we hear a roar like a car, it's just Drag Steffan pealing from Room 9 to Room ll. Everyone claims that his vocal duals sound better than those on his car. Besides the imitation pick-up , Andy often chooses to bellow forth some melodious torch song to the detriment of our ears. This is usually sguelched by Mr. Goodwin, who says it disturbs his physics class down the hall. ln spite of all our kidding Pem does have- a good voice for he is in the glee club and last year was in the quartet. Whenever he is silent, Perri usually is hunched over his books with his glasses off in a very studious manner. Indeed he is to be highly commended for his scholastic work, for he rose to one of the top scholars in our class. Everyone remembers Andy's little eye dropper and suction cap used in putting on his Contact lenses. How many times did he claim to have lost them on the bus or in the little 2 by 4 dressing rooms? As end on the football team Pem did a great job in catching passes and tackling-no doubt due to his Contact lenses. Besides diving Andy swam on relay teams and even played basketball. ,With getting ads for the Caravel you would think Andy would be too busy to play golf. But he Wasn't.

How would you like to have the most wonderful summer oi your life on the streams of Canada? lt's really great, you know. You get there and spend most of the time in canoes away from camp and . . . well . . . of course I get fifty dollars . . . heh! heh! Sheldon Taft certainly has more interests in more fields than anyone else in our class. As president of the school he has taken an active interest in school affairs and has given the student council a place of greater importance in school lite. No longer is this body purely an honored society, but now it is beginning to reflect the students' opinions. That ivy outside the press room porch and that line to prevent cars from parking too close to the chemistry lab was an idea of his implemented by the Student Council. As editor of the Life he has introduced the idea of editorials and initiated by-lines on the articles. Shel, himself, has written editorials pushing for neater grounds and a type of blazer as part of an Academy uniform. Sheldon always has a wide grin on his face which easily changes into his well-known hysterical chuckle. This amiability has made him an easy person to admire and get along with. All of Shel's outside interests revolve around two main things-his blue Ford, and Academy Life deadlines. ln spite of all these interests he has maintained the second highest average in the class and amazingly enough takes life very calmly-by doing his trig in French class, sleeping through algebra, and basking in the sun on the press room porch. Sheldon has taken a very apparent part in athletics as befits the president of the school, Although he returned from Cleveland late last summer, he joined right in with our pre-season practice' and sweated with the rest of us. As left tackle, he blocked and tackled hard on offense and defense, often playing an entire half without stopping. This year he swam breast stroke and earned his letter again this year. During the swimming season Shel took the lead in the CSG.-Academy play. Because of his ability to carry on so many tasks at one time Shel will certainly do well at Amherst and in life afterward.

Supposedly he is whipping off neat mechanical drawings but everyone knows how he spends the time---watching Beatty' experiments and fiddling with the left over chemicals. VVhile it i dubious as to how much Stu accomplishes on his drawings, no ont doubts that he absorbs almost as much chemistry as we who ar- in the class. Among the boys of the car pool Wass is infamous for hit leisurely breakfasts that keep others waiting impatiently outside To his classmates Stu's perpetual five o'clock shadow has brandec him as the Marlon Brando or gangster type. This characterizatior is further emphasized by his calm almost sleepy manner in the class room and his cocky confidence when with a group. At almos any time he can be found arguing or carrying on mock battles witl Miller or Beatty. He is usually palling around with Miller anc between the two of them they manage to raise cain and enjoy life Remember last summer's thirty days? Stu is certainly not the mos conservative boy in the class, with his black leather jackets anc tomato orange sweaters. However, this flashy dress together witi his high-stepping jitterbug show his individuality and have earnec him recognition as the coolest cat in the class. Stu has a good singing voice and consequently has sung not only in the Glee Club but also as lead in the quartet. lf he appears sleepy in class, he demonstrates nothing of the kind or the athletic field. For the past two years he has come out for football and worked hard during the practice sessions. This toil paic off, for this year he played defensive haliback and intermittently offensive wingback. After football Stu played basketball and this spring was one of three seniors on the baseball team. We know that Stu's individuality and self-assurance will earn him admiration wherever he goes. HERBERT PHILLIP WOLMAN . v- 15 1' s . D Q -ae? ijFQ 1 X WS' fr Ai Q I But, sir! You have obviously phrased that question wrong. It should be stated . . If the Academy had a debating team, Hubie Wolman would certainly be one of its most talkative members. Since entering our class in his junior year he has become noted tcr his perpetual chatter, his correct algebra papers, and his undying love for Harvard. lt would be a dull senior study hall that did not reverberate with the Wo1man theory for problem twelve , or some reason as to why Harvard is tar superior to any other ccllegeg not to mention a running commentary on the members of our class. Whenever he takes seriously a command to shut up, the room falls into an un- natural and uneasy quiet. That is, until someone asks I-lube to explain another algebra problem. Then the room breaks into an uproar again and reverberates with argument after argument. This cacophony ot sound is punctuated with Herb's shrill tenor voice and often continues unabated until the bell rings. Hube-the-Cube's rotund figure and pleasant smile radiate his good nature at all times-Whether it be in a casual conversation or a heated argument. His geniality extends to everyone, and he is always ready to help with any proiect. While Hube has not participated too actively in sports, he has supported all the teams. Apparently his extra time has been devoted to studying, tor he has been on the Honor Roll almost consistently, which is no easy task for a boy who enters the Academy in his junior year. We are all sure that Hube's will to work and good-natured argumentativeness will help him in whatever college he attends. His personal choice is the ivy-covered walls of Harvard.

Go find out how its members have done in the world. That was my assignment. As ace reporter of the Columbus Star, I had to discover what had become of that famous Class of 1955, whose members had been Boy Scouts, contributors to the Salvation Army, and staunch supporters of the SPCA. These illustrious classmates had been remembered through the years for their uprighteousness at the Academy. That's what made me wonder why they would ever con- gregate in Bexley. My taxi left me at the edge of the one mile limit around Bexley. After gazing across the grim barren wasteland Within, I began to plod toward the town. As 1 worked through the twisted tree trunks, I revolved in my mind the curious history of this settlement. Once a fashionable suburb, Bexley had first manifested signs of gangsterism about 1960. The conditions hastily deteriorated until soon not an honest person remained. I inflated my army surplus rubber life raft, erected my white flag of truce in the bow, and began to paddle across the shark-filled moat. After the town had given up its last innocent person, a clique of unnamed racketeers and fugitives of justice took over the area, se- questering it from the rest of the world. Since then the only persons seen to pass through the iron curtain were those pursued by the law, for no policeman dared enter Bexley. After leaving my raft on the shore, I wormed through the coils of barbed wire and, waving my flag of truce, traversed the last hundred yards to the gates of the fortifications sur- rounding the town. There the guard, having heard the purpose of my visit, admitted me through the barrier into the foul, vermin-ridden slums within. Conversing with the guard, I learned that he was Bill Moler, the most famous basketball player of the Basketball Era of 1956 through 1960. For many years Bill had led the world in points scored per game. He soon dis- covered, however, that his lengthy height of eight feet two inches allowed him to perform such diverse tasks as opening office doors through transoms, reaching over bank tellers, windows into cash drawers, and securing lolli- pops from behind candy counters. Bill had come into great demand by local mobsters, but fled to Bexley when he was discovered filching a yo-yo from a young Columbus Acad- emy student. 1 left Bill and began to wander down a muddy clearing called Main Street. Suddenly I heard what sounded like a boisterous crowd coming around the corner. To my surprise it was but one person-Herb Wolmcrn. Herb had been a lecturer on escalatorsy but when his audience awoke once to find that its valuables had disappeared, Herb decided to take an indeterminate vacation in Bexley. Here' he took on the job of Chamber of Commerce. From Herb I learned not only that the Class of 1955 was having its reunion in Bexley but also that nearly the entire class lived there. They were the ones that had taken over the suburb. With this information in mind I cautiously set out in search of the reunion, which, I had been told, was to be held in the town hotel at 2095 Park Hill Drive. While seeking the hostelry, I took to studying the sundry odd shops which lined the street. The first that I noticed was obvious because of its austerity. Within its grey doors, clothed in a buttondown shirt, resided a pair of shining eyes and a flashy smile. It was none other than Rob Rex- locksmith. Rob had once been famous for his pick-proof locks. The fact that he could and often did open every lock that he sold was revealed when he was caught re- moving football equipment from a gym locker. Rob soon took up residence here in Bexley. After speaking to Rob I started out again. The next place of business that struck my eye was Coon's Haberdashery. Owner Brock Evans recited to me his tale of success. Brock had been operating a mediocre clothing shop in the outside world. His lavender and rust suits ap- pealed to the inhabitants of Bexley so much that he decided to open his shop here. Since then he had been living in the lap of luxury. I was about to continue my conversation when suddenly I heard a wailing siren and whining engine come flying low down the street. I rushed out of doors just in time to see a funeral procession hurtle past led by a sleek, black hearse whose tall driver was hunched over the wheel. That was Iames Slack, the mortician of our little community, remarked Brock. lt seems that lim had once been a fContinued on page 1043 Page Thirty-Nine -,-.- x ff ' .X I Ex ' S' fl' X ' MQW kk I ff' .

As the end of our high school careers draws a scant 365 days away, our class has experif enced one of its most successful school years. The year has been highlighted by one thing for the luniorse-enthusiastic and solid participation in all activitiese-sccial, scholastic, and athletic. The year started with the addition of two new members to the class, the election of class ot- ticers, and the football season. The new students were George Curran, who came to us from East High, and Iohn Ziegler, from Bexley. A few weeks after school started, we elected our class of' ficers. lim Corrcdi was elected president, Dave Carlin was made the veep , and Iohn Reynolds, Acheson Callaghan, Dave Taft, and Don t Raleigh filled the treasurer, secretary, social secretary, and student council posi' tions, respectively. A few weeks before school commenced, football season be- gan, and the lunior class was ably repre' sented on the team. lim Corrodi, Dunbar Helsley, Gary Meier, Dave Wocd, Dave Taft, Tom Kidwell, Dick Gurevitz, Dave Carlin, Ted Smith, and Eliott Stout earned their letters. lohn Pavey and Don Raleigh were on the reserves. lohn Reynolds was named to the all-midstate team and was elected captain for the l955 season. As the winter quarter began, the mem' bers of the lunior Class again found them- selves sharing the athletic spotlight. Gary Meier, Dunbar Helsely, Ted Smith, and lohn Reynolds were on the basketball team, while lim Corrodi, Dave Carlin, and lchn Pavey swam for Academy's success- ful tank team.

Tom Moore and Bruce Vickers served as managers for almost all the varsity teams this year, and have done an admirable job. Despite all of the athletic distracticns throuqhout the year, the Iunicr class has assiduously remained faithful to its schoolwork, keeping up an excellent class average in all studies. Ache- son Callaghan, George Raudseps, Dar- old Greek, Dave Carlin, Dave Taft, lim Corrodi, and Don Raleigh have consist- ently been on the honor roll, with the rest of the class not far behind. ln additicn to the basic school activi- ties of athletics and scholastics, the lunior class has been active in many extra-cur- riculars. Acheson Callaghan, Dave Car- lin, Don Raleigh, and Dave Canowitz were on the Academy Life and Ccxravel staffs, and Dave Taft, lirn Corrodi, George Rauclseps, and Elliott Stout were con- tributors to both these publications. ln February C.S.G. and Academy presented the play Best Foot Forward.

All in all, our class has completed an almost perfect school year, and it is certain that after we have graduated, we will fondly look back upcn our lunior year as one of our happiest and most successful.

This group was equally active cn the playing field, in the classroom, and in numerous activities out- side of the school. At the start of the year our ranks were swelled by the advent of Douglas Murray, Dave Draudt, lim Volk, Harry Patterson, and lohn Williams, all of whom have been welcome additions to our class. Scon after the school year began, we elected our class officers: Iared Dickens, presidentg Henry Schwarzell, secretary, Tom Cald- s-'Y M well, treasurer, and Dick Lacey, student ,h Y council representative. 5 ln the fall most of the class went out for football, and Myron Maullar and Dave Draudt made the varsity team. Other members of the class made the reserve team. The future mainstays for the varsity are Bill Martin, lack Brown, Dave Mc- Cabe, lim Volk, Dick Lacey, and Harvey Freedman. As the season progressed, al- ,,' zvt m ost every boy in the class participated if in athletics. Sonny Maullar and Dave Draudt earned varsity letters in basket- V ball, while lack Brown, Dave McCabe, Harry Patterson and Don Buben earned reserve letters. foe Shepard had the dis- tinction of being the sole member of the class on the varsity swimming te-am. Spring arrived, and once more our class contributed to the different teams.

On the reserve squad were Hank Schwarzell, Gansey lohnston, Laurie lacobs, Tom VanKirk, and Bill Martin. Don Ruben, Tim Bigelow, Dave McCabe, and lack Brown earned pcsitions on the tennis team. ln addition to athletics, the class has established an august position in the field ot scholar- ship. Outstanding among these were: Nick Goodman, lared Dickens, Tom Caldwell, and Henry Schwarzell. These mental wizards were closely followed by Dick Lacey, David McCabe, and Harvey Freedman. The class has participated in many extra- curricular activities and conse- quently can recall many pleasant memo- ries. The two Sophomore-spcnsored dances were especially enjoyable Cand lucrativel. The traditional Sophomore milk concession helped to mold the class into one strong group. We were no longer individuals eager to attain our cwn goals but instead members eager to help the class as a whole. Then too, who in our class can forget Nickey Goodmans lOO book report or Tom Caldwell's stirring speeches in debate? Or who, when he thinks of lunchtime, cannot recall Lacey's eloquently delivered announcements? Yes, this year has served tc unite us more strongly as a group. -' 1 This would have been a glorious year for the Sophomore class had not tate intercepted and handed it a tragic blow. The untimely and sudden death of our classmate, Bruce Lane, has not been forgotten.

This year s reserve football team, consist- ing mostly of Freshmen, had one of the best records in the school, for they re- mained undefeated. During the winter months we turned to basketball and swimming. The reserve basketball team once again consisted mostly of Freshmen. Although it didn't win all its games, it finished the season with a better record than the Varsity. There were seven Fresh- men who went out for the reserve team and helped win six games as opposed ne., Ebel! v M 42 if f M .mi L S Q 3 V --v- ' -.as,.

Among the swimmers from our class who helped the swimming team win second place in the city are Steve Brown, Phil Carlin, Tony Hirsch, Larry Lacksen, Dick Winegarner, and Larry Zipser. In the state finals Steve Brown scored Academy's only point. At the start of the year we held class elections, and after a spirited contest we learned that the winners were Dick Evans, Presidenty Steve Brown, Vice-Presidentg Mike Mathews, Student Council Memberg Bill Case, Treasurer: and Larry Zipser, Secretary, Naturally, we are already looking forward to the lunior Prom and are saving money for its production. We already have saved a great deal by collecting dues and by giv- ing a dance. That dance was held on the twenty- ninth of lanuary. The boys on the dec- orating committee who transformed the dining hall into a dance floor gayly dec- orated with streamers and colored lights are Tony Hirsch, Mike Mathews, and 'Terry Walcott. That night a good crowd attended, and everyone enjoyed the music from the newly installed high fidel- ity system. On the whole the Class of 58 feels that it has had a very good year and has contributed much to the activities in the Upper School. Through our Freshman year we feel that we have become a greater part of the Academy and look eagerly forward to the coming years.

Third Grade The Columbus Academy Lower School consists of grades one to four, This year the Lower School was slightly larger than last year. However, it has been possible to maintain smaller classes and give close personal supervision and attention which is most necessary for the younger boys. With the improved teaching facilities af- forded by the new building, the Lower School can better fulfil its most important task,--to prepare the boys for the rest of their school life. A teacher in the Lower School must not only instruct the boys but also be a sym- pathetic and inspiring friend. This year Mrs. Grace DeLeone, the Headmistress of the Lower School, has been ably assisted by Mrs. Louella Noon, First Grade, Mrs. Olive Miller, Second Grade: Mrs. Made! lyn Priest, Third Grade, and Mrs. Mildred leffers, Fourth Grade. The principal aim of the Lower School is to instill into the younger boys the good study habits and desire to learn that will provide them with an invaluable foundae Page Sixty-K Pm' Top Row: King, j., Windmiller, McVeyg Oestreuch r Baker Silverman Workman Hamilton Kelsey Middle Row: Gabay, Cook, S., King, D Celm E Snedlker Clark Flocken Freeble C-reen Front Row: Krakoff Greer Fllllnger C Second Grade tion for their later studies. ln order to ac- complish this, learning must be made in- teresting and enjoyable, Therefore inte- grated into Lower School life are numer- ous educational projects, excursions and social activitiesea mural depicting a fa- mous man, a trip to an observatory, or a class party, Ot greatest delight to the boys are the numerous social events of the year. On each of the principal holidays -- Hallo- ween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valen- tine's Day and Easter---they enjoy a party arranged by the Room Mothers of each class. At these parties the boys play games, have refreshments, and often ex- change gifts. The boys also take part in three annual events to which they look forward with excitement and enthusiasm. The first of these is the Christmas play, which, this year, was entitled Twas the Night Before Christmas. Field Day is an annual spring festivity. Each boy brings a box-lunch in preparation for a picnic on the school grounds. After lunch the boys Page Sixty-Two Top Row Carrell R Mangum Sculler Pace I Ashleman Priceg Cillispie, M.g Postlewaite, F.g Conkle.

Later in the spring is the Father-Son banauet at Oak Park. The Fathers' Committee plans the activities while the mothers plan a large meal. Another Lower School tradition is Va- riety Night, sponsored by the Mothers' Council. The boys are entertained by a puppet show and cartoons, and refresh- ments are served. Five hundred CS50Ul dol- lars was raised in 1954 and a comparable amount will be raised in 1955. The pro- ceeds will go towards the purchase of an intercommunication system for the school. The active interest and participation ot the mothers in school lite through the Mothers' Council is a vital part of the Lower School. This year the otticers ot the Mothers' Council were as follows: Mrs. Henry Richter, presidenty Mrs. Robert Schoene, vice-presidentp Mrs. Gailard Winegarner, secretaryg Mrs. Robert Fil- linger, treasurer.

With the dis- couraging thought ot having lost 8 of the ll starters from last year's squad, Coach Iake' W'hite set about to fashion a new team. In the first game of the year, the Academy football team and a large number of its ardent fans travelled to Cincinnati for the yearly game with the Cincinnati Country Day School team. The inexperience of the Academy ll was shown throughout most of the first half, when it allowed C.C.D.S. to gain a 12-O lead. With a few minutes left to go in the half, Dave Wood ran to the C.C.D.S. 11-yard line. Then Myron Maullar threw a pass to cc-captain Bob Rex for Academy's first score. Bruce Miller drove through the line for the extra point. In the third quarter Academy put on a sustained drive with fullback co-captain Bruce Miller going over from the 4-yard line and then scoring the extra point. The defense strengthened and gained confidence, holding the opponents in check. Finally with only seconds to gc, Dave Draudt crashed through the line and sped 53 yards for the last touchdown. Gary Meier passed to Andy Steffan for the extra point. Thus the game ended: Academy 21, C.C.D.S. 12.

The following Friday Liberty Union, un- defeated Champion ot lS53, handed Academy its first loss, 34-O Twin brothers, Ned and Ted Young, led the Lion's offensive punch. With the temporary loss of 4 regulars, the only bright spot of the game was good defensive play by Pete Austin and Dave Draudt. Returning hcme the following Friday, the Vikings rolled over Berne Union to the tune ot 35-20. Academy got oil to a good start, when, on the second play ot the game Dave Wcod swept end tor 48 yards and a touchdown. He added the point. ln the second period three touchdowns were scored, one by Miller and Page Sixty-Seven two by Draudt. The extra points were added by Steffan, Rex, and Maullar. ln the third period, Bob Rex caught a pass for another touchdown and added the extra point by a drop kick. ln the fourth period, Berne Union scored three times against the freshmen and sophomores, adding two extra points. On Friday night, Oct. 15, Academy travelled to Mt. Sterling and lost 14-0 on a cold, muddy field. The Greyhounds scored on a 42-yard pass play and then on a 12-yard end run. However, the Vikings played good foctball but were defeated by a well-planned and ef- fective defense employed by Mt. Sterling. The following Friday, Academy returned home with the hope of ending its losing streak at the expense of West lefferson. Throughout the first half neither team could score. Early in the third period, a Viking pass was inter- cepted and two plays later W. lefferson scored their first TD., and in the fcurth quarter an- other interception and a 60 yard run-back ac- counted for another score. The game ended: West lefferson 13, Academy 0. On the very cold Friday night of October 29th the Vikings travelled to Frankfort in an attempt to equal their record at 3 wins, 3 loss- es. On the second play from scrimmage, Don Christian ran 58 yards for the first of four Frankfort T.D.'s Academy's only score came in the final quarter on an end run by Dave Wood and a fullback plunge by Bruce Miller for the extra point. The game ended: Frankfort 27, Academy 7. On November 4th, the Academy team went to Bremen, where they rolled up an impressive victory. Late in the first quarter Dave Draudt turned end for 20 yards and the first score. Bob Rex tallied the extra point. Early in the second period, a pass from Wood to Teddy Smith went all the way. Then, co-captain Bob Rex scored two touchdowns in a row to put Academy ahead at the half, 25-0. The third guarter was eveng but at the start of the fourth, Dave Draudt put together two runs of 27 and 25 yards each for the final Viking touchdown. Bruce Miller carried over for the extra point. Bremen scored once on a shcrt run and the game ended Academy 32, Bremen 6. The final game of the season was with Academy's traditional rival, University. The Vikings were scored upon three times in the first half, a 19-yard pass play, a 94-yard run by Iohn Ramseyer, and another 19 yard pass. ln the third period a Viking drive, sparked by a 22 yard run by Dick Lacey, a 30 yard end run by Dave Draudt, and consistent line plung- ing by Bruce Miller, was stopped just short of a touchdown by a 15 yard penalty. The tide turned and University scored once more, mak- ing tlre final score: University 26, Academy 0. This was the last high schcol football game tor the following seniors: Don Alexander, Fred Appleton, Tom Arnold, George Benedict, Dave Boothby, Rex Elliott, Brock Evans, Don Katz, Bill Rinehart, Andy Steffan, Sheldon Taft, Stuart Wasserstrcm, and the co-captains, Bruce Miller and Bob Rex. The team elected lohn Reynolds as next year's captain.

This year, however, we jumped to an early lead and strelched that lead to as much as l7 points near the first half of the 3rd period. But the final period told the tale, as the Vikings scored only 7 points and lost, as Mechanics- berg took the lead for the first time and scored a basket with about 10 seconds to go. They won 62-60. The next game was with Rosary at the K. cf C. Hall. Although trailing for most of the game, the Vikings came from behind to win 46-45 with Captain Bill Moler scoring 20 points. After this auspicious start, the Vikings lost their next 7 games to: Delaware 60-30, Mt. Sterling 66-25, St. Marys 61-38, University 81-43. Having quickly passed over these games, we come to the trip to West lefferson. The game was very close and with just five sec:-nds remaining Gary Meier sank the win- ning basket. lim Slack had 19 points while Bill Moler, in his next to last high school basketball game, sank 25. ln the next game the Vikings lost to a very powerful Liberty Union five. The final score was 86-47 and Bill Moler tallied 14 points as he bowed out in his last game of the regular season. Academy then lost to University 63-37 after an unsuccess- ful attempt to avenge its first loss at the hands of the University five. In the next game the Vikings lost to St. Charles 70-45 after leading at the half 24-23. Mauller and Draudt with. 12 and 13 re- spectively were the high scorers for Academy. In the final game of the regular season, the Vik- ings again conquered Rosary. This time Dick Evans made 3 straight baskets to bring a 58-56 victory for us. Having finished its regular schedule, the Vikings traveled to Maumee Valley Country Day School for the first annual Maumee Valley lnvitaiional Basketball Tournament. The other schools competing besides the Academy and Maumee were Park School of Indianapolis and the Ohio Military lnstitute of Cincinnati. ln the first round of play, the Vikings drew Pork School. The Vik- ings trailed the whole game and lost 56-46 with Bill Moler and Dave- Draudt scoring 14 and 8 points respectively. The main reason for the loss was that the Vikings made only 5 out of 38 shots attempted during the first half. In the second round of play, Academy was pitted against The Ohio Military lnstitute. Things went better that evening and the Vikings gained a command- ing lead which they never relinquished. The final score was 51-41 with Dave Draudt making 13 points, and Bill Moler, 26. ln the formalities after the game the Academy was honored by having Bill Moler placed on the all-tournament team and by receiving the handsome consolation trophy. This was an excel- lent way to end a rather bleak season.

Pzlgf' SI'lff'llfffAcJl1l Arnold and Appleton, co-captains Mr. White, coach Swimming This year's swimming team, co-captained by Fred Appleton and Torn Arnold, set out to equal last year's enviable record of a City Championship. With twelve lettermen return- ing and three or four freshman prospects, the outlook was good. As in previous years the city was split up into two divisions, with Academy and Bexley the powers in one di- vision and Arlington and Grandview the powers in the other. The first meet, against North, was easily won 59-16 with at double first by Arnold and other firsts by Ellernan, Corrodi, Appleton, Brown, and both relay teams. In the second meet Evans, Brown, Shepard, Elleman, Steffan, and the free style relay team helped to drown Rosary 50-24 by taking tirsts. A week later Academy won against East 40-21 in the first six events by having Tait, Winegarner, Apple- ton, Phil Carlin, and Arnold capture firsts in their races. The St. Charles meet was again held at Academy's pool and the Viking swim- mers had little trouble in winning 39-30. Many reserve swimmers got their chance in this meet, and there was a double win by Wine- garner and others by Phil Carlin, Evans, Shepard, and the medley relay team. Uni- versity, who beat Academy in football and basketball, didn't have a chance in swimming and went down with a gurgle 51-22. Contrib- uting to the score by winning tirsts were Arnold with two and Dave Carlin, Appleton, Brown, Stetfan, and both relay teams with one each. Page Sf uenty-Two Top Row: Mr. White, Corrodi, Shepard, Lacksen, Paveyg Browng Carlin, D., Carlin, P., Hirschg Winegarner. Bottom Row: Arnold, Appleton, Boothby, Taft, Steffan, Rice. W'ith these five comparatively easy meets behind them the Vikings then met Bexley for the division championship. Up to the medley relay the score was 27-27 with wins by Arnold, Appleton, and Brown. However, Academy's medley relay team won an easy victory, and the free style relay team left Bexley rolling in its wake to put the final score at 42-33. Five days later the team, minus a few sick mem- bers, met Arlington for the City Championship. Corrodi took a double first while Arnold and Appleton also won their events. Yet these were not enough, and Academy lost its first meet in two years 30-45. Still feeling full of fight the team went into the City Relays, and while the backstroke relay team of Arnold, Rice, and Appleton tied the old record, the 300 medley relay team of Appleton, Arnold, and Corrodi lowered the old medley reccrd by nine seconds. After the last race Academy had accumulated two firsts, two seconds, two thirds, and two fourths and had placed third in the city, losing to Bexley by one point. ln the District meet, in which Academy took third again, Arnold Gained the only first, Appleton, Arnold, and the free style relay team captured seconds, Corrodi, Steffan, and the medley relay team had thirds, and Brown tock a fourth. ln the preliminaries for the state meet Brown was the only swimmer from Academy to qualify and a day later he took sixth in the state in the 100 yd. free style. With the season over there still remained the job of awarding the varsity letters. ln the past, swimming letters have been awarded by the coach as he saw fit. However, this year's Co- captains thought that a real system was needed which would limit varsity letters more. With Mr. Whites help they worked out the follcwing rules: To qualify for a varsity letter in swimming a boy must satisfy at least one of the following conditions: fl? he must swim in 751: of the team meets and win five points in them, C25 he must win l0 points in team meets, C33 he must swim in l00'Xa of the team meets, C43 he must place in the District meet and win five points in team meets. Reserve letters will be awarded for participation in one team meet and satisfactory effort throughcut the year. lt is hoped that this system will prove valid in the future, and that it will raise the value of the swimming letter to that of the other sports. In conclusion, the team would like to thank Mr. White for his efforts and patience with them throughout the year. Although the team didn't retain its championship, it finished with a very respectable record of six wins and one loss. lf next year's squad works with the same enthusiasm and effort that was shown this year, Academy will again be proud of its swimming team. Page Seventy-Tlzrcfe Baseball This year, as always, the coming of Warm weather heralds the spring sports. The baseball team this year has a rather diiticult problem to overcome -- a lack of experience. Coach Avedes Avedesian and assistant coach Bob Flagg have a big job on their hands to Work their unseasoned material into shape, but with cooperation from all concerned, the Vikings ought to have a good season. The players have the prospect of getting to play cn the new diamond that has just been completed in the southwest czrner of the athle- tic lield. lt was donated to the school by the parents ot Andy Cary as a memorial to their son. The season opened rather unsuccessfully as the Vikings lost to St. Marys by a 7-2 score. Bruce Miller, AcademY'S pitcher, gave- up only six hits, but was plagued with erratic control as he struck out six and walked seven. Acade- my's batters did Well however, as they got four hits from St. Mary's ace pitcher, Al Buccilla. Dunbar Helsley got two singles and Dave Draudt drove in both of Academy's runs with a home run. The starting line up of this, the first game oi the season, was: infielders- Myron Page Seventy-Four Top Row: Mr. Avedesian, Vickers, Patterson, Brown, S., Martin, Chilcoteg Moore.

Mauller, Dave Draudt, Gary Meier, and Harry Patterson, outtielclers-Ted Smith, lim Corrodi, and Don Katzy the battery-Bruce Miller pitch- ing, and Dunbar Helsley catcher. ln the next game, the Vikings visited St. Charles and tailed to send a runner across home plate while St. Charles scored eight runs. For iive innings Bruce Miller pitched a one hitter, but then ran into trouble when he tired and gave up four hits and tive runs. The Vik- ing's chiet treat came in the seventh inning when Ted Smith worked the opposing pitcher for a walk, Dave Draudt singled, and Gary Meier got on through an error. However, this rally was quickly smothered when the St. Charles pitcher struck out the next three Acade- my batters in order. As the game ended, Academy had no runs, two hits, ond iive errors while St. Charles had eight runs, tive hits, and tour errors. With the promise of the pitching and hitting that we have seen in these first two games, it is probable that the Vikings will go on to have a successful season. Page Seventy-Five C . iuu I V?

' ' Bill Moler, captain Mr. Bown, coach On practically every day this spring the Acad-- emy's 4 tennis courts have been in constant use from 3:00 to 5:30. Yet the boys who are playing on these courts are only a small fraction of the group which is out for tennis this year, for tennis has grown increasingly popular in the past 5 years mainly be' cause of Mr. B'own's excellent coaching. This year 30 boys are out for the sport. The varsity team was seriously handicapped by the loss of captain Bill Moler, who probably could have been counted on for a point in every match. Bill was disqualified from the team because he had completed 4 years of high school last Ianuary and has been ineligible to participate in sports for the rest of the year. Yet in spite of this crippling loss, the team still has a great deal of strength. Mike Callaghan, Don Ruben, and Tom Arnold are first, second, and third singles men, while Dick Evans, loe Sculler, lack Brown, and Dave McCabe are the first and second doubles teams. Four of these seven boys were members of the varsity last yearea fact which should aid the team greatly. In spite of the bad weather at the beginning of the season, most of the players have shown a def- inite improvement. With hard work and enthusiasm the team should finish with a very satisfactory year. Tennis Slack, Callaghan, Brown, lg Arnold, Moler, Scullerg Evans, McCabeg Ruben, D., Mr. Bown. Prlgv Srfccfnty-Six This year's golf team consists of two seniors, co- captains Andy Steffan and Tom Rice, and two iuniors Dunbar l-lelsley and Dave Wood. Our team is not as strong this year as it was last, mainly because of the loss of Pete French, last years captain. This year the golf teams of Columbus are divided into two groups: half play on Saturday mornings and the other half play on Monday afternoons. Academy, in the Monday section, has won two and lost two. We beat South and l-lilliards, losing to North and Linden. With three matches left, Arling- ton, West, and Worthington we will probably finish with a winning season. Several boys have been playing golf this year, hoping to help the team this year and play regularly next year. Ben Crabbe, and Dave and Phil Carlin are showing marked improvement and Herb Wol- man has been playing enough to help out if he is needed.

Student Council The Student Council of i954-1955 had a fine year. After starting its job with an extremely successful United Appeals drive, which went far over its set goal, the Council turned to its duties of regulating class social events and concessions. When the Christmas season arrived, the Student Council or- ganized a Christmas charity drive with the students contributing only if they desired to do so. Under such soft pressure, the classes nevertheless brought nearly one hundred dollars to their Council members. Throughout the year the Council worked on numerous measures and projects, for instance, the installation of hall monitors, better organization of the student parking lot, an attempt at landscaping, a proposed adoption of a school blazer, and the re- moval of the gathering period at the start of recess. Sheldon Taft, President of the School and Chairman of the Student Coun- cil, had as willing council members Seniors, Dave Boothby and Don Katz: Iuniors, lim Corrodi and Don Raleighg Sophomores, lared Dickens and Dave lVlcCabep Freshmen, Dick Evans and Mike Mathewsy and Middle Schoolers Alan Scheaf and Louis Sanford. Working together, they strove to create a more energetic and useful Council. This year the Student Council worked to become what it should befa sounding board of the pupils, a direct link between the Student Body and the Administration. ln order to attain this standing, the Council opened its meet- ings to the students. Anyone who had a grievance, who wished to express an opinion, or who merely Wanted to see how a meeting was operated could come and do so. All important ideas and statements would in turn be ex- pressed to the Administration whose answer would then be returned to the students. We believe that the Council accomplished this friendly relationship between school and student, its prime objective. Page I witty Om Seated: Ridgleyg Benedict, Rinehart, Lembark.

Alumni Corner Eight years ago the Alumni Association determined to give a scholarship each year in memoriam to the Alumni killed during the Second World War. The members of the association did not realize how greatly the school would profit in the following years. ln the eight years since the Alumni Association was reconstituted, the num- ber of dues-paying members has swelled from 45 for the first year to over 225 for the year l954-55. A record percent of the living alumni are contributing tive dollars per year to make the Alumni Scholarship program possible. The Alumni program this year will have started its third cycle. One full and two partial scholarship boys will have graduated, each having received four years' training at the Columbus Academy. Also one boy from the Iunior class, three from the Sophomore class, and two from the Freshman class will have completed a successful year. The Alumni Scholarship Plan has now become a vital part of our school. lt is bringing the school a broader and more representative enrollment, since, as a consequence of the nine boys it is helping, many others have been in- fluenced to enroll. Boys who otherwise would not have been so fortunate are being helped to gain a fine education.

Varsity A At select times in the spring and the tall, one can see certain turtive individuals, wearing shorts and bow ties, scurrying about on all sorts ot odd errands, balancing huge piles ot books, and addressing other unlikely-looking individuals as Sir . ls this the average Academy scholar? No! This is Q Varsity A pledge. The Association, which has been in existence tor over a decade, is open to any boy who receives a varsity letter. After a week or two ot catering to and working tor the actives, and alter being initiated in tine style at some isolated tarm, he is admitted to the select group. This year's otticers were elected at the '54 spring election. Rex Elliott is president, Brock Evans is vice-president, and Sheldon Tait, treasurer. As the Varsity A's main function is social the group gives several parties each year in the tall and the spring. So tar this year, only the annual tall hayride has taken place, but several parties are planned for the spring. The hayride, held in October, was a great success. Despite the ominous silence trom the lunior wagon, much entertainment was furnished by the Seniors, who roused the neighboring countryside with their singing. How- ever, towards the end ot the evening, both wagons engaged in a hay-throwing free-tor-all which everyone heartily enjoyed. The tirst spring party held was a picnic at Bill Winegarner's tarm on April 30. As usual, the tood tor this sumptuous affair was provided by the members' dates, but happily the am- bulances also provided in case ot emergency proved unnecessary. The party lasted from 4:00 to l2:30, and it was agreed that everyone had a wondertul timefespecially those who persisted in exploring the famous Winegarner tunnels.

Glee Club Our Glee Club, this year, has been cne of the finest ever heard at the Academy in recent years. This excellence may not be attributed to any single reason. However, the two most important reasons are: first, a more accom- plished tenor sectiong and second, a greater interest on the part of the students in their singing. Of course, the most valuable asset to the Glee Club is its director, Mr. Kenneth Evans, who, by a great personal effcrt and an enormous amount of patience, has produced this fine choral group. As has been its custom in the past, the Glee Club this year presented two concerts. The first was a concert for the student body and faculty at the Christmas Banquet. ln the second concert the Columbus Academy Glee Club and the Columbus School for Girls Chcir joined to present their Annual Spring Concert. lf the amount of applause is any indication, both concerts were great successes. We, the student body and faculty, wish to congratulate the members of the Glee Club, who, in spite of riqid academic requirements, have given so freely of themselves and of their time to make the Glee Club possible. Mcst of all, we wish to congratulate Mr. Evans, without whom our Glee Club would never have been. Paw Plgllflf-l'lflIll' Press Club Library Proctors Best Foot Forward For the fifth consecutive year, the Academy and the Columbus School for Girls presented their annual play in the CSG auditorium on Friday and Saturday nights, February 25 and 26. Mrs. Elsie Kittle, who had directed the play for the past four years, was unable to do it this year. In her absence, her daughter, Mrs. Robert Kanengeiser took the responsibility. Though seriously hampered by many illnesses, the cast practiced diligently, and under Mrs. Kanengeiser's able direction, turned in a truly professional performance. This year's play was Best Foot Forward. by Iohn Cecil Holm. It is a hilarious series of episodes which occur when one of the boys at Winsocki Prep School invites a movie star to be his date for the Senior Prom. From the first startling and highly entertaining entrance by a bevy of attractive cheerleaders to the final forgiving speech the school's headmaster, Doc- tor Reeber, the audience was treated to an eve- ning of riotous come-dy. Fine acting characterized the play. Sheldon Taft as Bud Hooper, and Chris Brookhouse as the grutf, blustering Dr. Re-eber gave depth and body to the play While at the same time fur- nishing some very humorous scenes. Dave Taft, Dave Boothby, lim Corrodi, and Tom Page Eighty-Six Caldwell were very well cast in the parts of the innocent, devilish schoolboys. Much credit should go to Marcia Willcox who kept the audience constantly 'laughing at her witty sallies and gestures in her portrayal of the Blind Date. The worldly actress and her pub- licity-hungry press agent were well acted by Margaret Knies and Andy Steffan, and Iune Loving's fine acting as Helen gave the play a serious touch. Much of the success of the play was due to good acting by lane Peters, Rosa- mond Brown, and Sue Hoover as the boys' datesg Elliott Stout as the Old Grady Hank Schwarzell as Professor Lloyd: Don Raleigh as Chester Billingsg and Myra Zollinger as Miss Smith. Much praise must also be given to Tom Arnold, Fred Appleton, Bill Rhinehart, and Brock Evans, who constructed the impressive set under Mr. Kanengeiser's direction, and Tony Hirsch, who directed the lighting. Without them, the play would have lost much of its effect. Because of the fine cooperation of everyone concerned, it was agreed that Best Foot For- ward was, as in past years, a tremendous success.

Cum Laude Society The highest scholastic honor which can be bestowed upon a member of the graduating class of the Columbus Academy is that of election to mem- bership in the Cum Laude Society. Cum Laude is awarded to the top fifth of the members of the graduating class whose grades during their Iunior and Senior years average eighty percent or above. lt is the object of this society to encourage higher standards of scholarship in preparatory schools. This honor signifies the highest scholastic achievements and the fullest, most conscientious exercise of the student's intellectual endowments. The Cum Laude Society was founded at Tom School, Maryland in l906. Since its first memorable' meeting, the society has grown until now it is a national organization. lf a high school student is admitted into the Cum Laude Society, he receives an honor corresponding to the coveted Phi Beta Kappa key in college. lt signifies not only the person's scholastic achievements but also hours of toil, study, and a sound and helpful attitude toward his classes. This year the Columbus Academy has had the great honor of having eight of the members of the graduating class admitted into membership in the Cum Laude Society. These boys have been the scholastic leaders of our school for the past several years. We are sure that when they go on to college they will become the leaders there, too, and will carry on the proud name of the school as Cum Laude graduates of the Columbus Academy. The members of the Senior Class who have been elected to the Cum Laude Society are: Bruce Miller, Sheldon Taft, George Benedict, Bill Moler, Bill Rinehart, David Boothby, Tom Arnold, and Andy Steffan. Page Eighty-Eight Faculty-Senior Ball Game A glance at the record will show that each year it is becoming more difficult for the Faculty to defeat the Senior Class in the traditional Faculty- Senior Volley Ball Contest. ln the early days the faculty won effectively and graciously. Now the atmosphere of the game has changed. Fewer faculty players leave their feet to try for the crucial point, suggesting perhaps the maturing mind-and body. The faculty seems more inclined to argue' vehe- mently over close decisions. Sometimes muffled threats may be heard emanating from parched faculty throats. lf the present trend continues, the invincibility of the faculty will soon be threatened.

Editor lizlifor Fafulfy Advisor Academy Life Of all the extracurricular activities at the Academy, the Academy Life is one of the most desirable: for throughout the year it provides outlets for numerous abilities. Editor Sheldon Taft was aided this year by Don Raleigh, Assistant Editor, and Mr. Thomas Morris, Faculty Advisor. Mr. Mor- ris was responsible for having cleared up many of the writing faults in the paper and for having supplied many excellent ideas. Don, with his diligent Work and likewise excellent ideas performed a very thorough job as Assistant Editor. Also on the staff were Don Katz, who faithfully car- ried out his difficult job as Sports Editor, Herb Wolman, Advertising Managerg Chris Brookhouse, Associate Editor, Rex Pave Ninety Elliott, Circulation Manager, Dave Carlin, Assistant Circulation Manager: and Pho- tographers Ioe Sculler and David Cano- witz. Some changes in the Life this year in- clude a reduction of advertising space by increased ad rates, bylines on articles, a standard setup of the paper, and editorials. One of the outstanding events of the year was the Academy Life Talent Show, which was given jointly with the Mothers' Association on Friday evening, April 29th. The Academy Liie has had a good year. Those who have helped to put it out will always look back with pride on their achievement. Top Row: Cariin, D.g Canowitzg Brookhouseg junkermarm. Bottom Row: Wolmang Katzg Elliottg Sculler.

After football season, Advertising Manager, Andy Steffan, with the aid of Brock Evans, Dick Gurevitz, and Tom Kidwell, began his campaign. Each year it is becoming more difficult to solicit advertisers. Nevertheless our campaign was fairly successful, for we managed to receive nearly all the ads that our budget required. This year the senior class voted to have its pictures taken by Lazarus Photo Studio. This contract included a clause allowing the staff to have 30 group shots taken free of charge. This greatly helped the two staff photogra- phers, Bill Rinehart and David Canowitz. A great deal of the time was spent on the Senior Section this year. Dave Boothby and Bruce Miller wrote all of the senior articles, a difficult task well done. The cartoon sketches were drawn by Bill Rinehart's sister, Becky. We are all very grateful to Becky for giving her time and effort so generously. Other members of this year's staff included Tom Arnold, Roy Deemer, and Bill Moler. lt was Tom's task to help lay out the dummy and set up the dif- ferent sections. Upon Roy fell the difficult duty of business manager. Bill Moler capably filled the position of sports editor. Early in the year Mr. Perkins and George Benedict chose Mike Callaghan as assistant editor. However Mike will not be editor next year for he has decided to go to Deerfield, where we are confident he will do well. Next year's editor will be Dave Taft, a boy capable of fulfilling the diffi- cult task of preparing this book. Naturally the entire staff Wishes to thank Mr. Perkins for his invaluable help and advise. His wise councils have helped to make this book a successful edition. With the Caravel finally in print the editor and staff wish to express their gratitude to the contributors and solicitors who performed their inglorious tasks quietly and faithfully. The yearbook entailed more Work than anyone on the staff suspected, but with a bit of application and a great deal of worry, we have completed anjmposing, yet highly satisfying task.

In his hasty migra- tion to Bexley lim did not forget his mainstay of life-his hotrod hearse-which supported him now in his new habitat. I thanked Brock for the informative' chat and started again down the street. Farther down I noticed the glare of lights surrounding a char- treuse and yellow building. In a blinking red neon sign stood out the invitation, Visit Alex- ander's Billiards Parlor. I fought my way through the crowd of young people to talk with the proprietor, Don Alexander. With his slogan, Prevent juvenile delinquency: keep our youth off of the streetp send them to Alex- ander's Billiards Pa.rlor, Don had created a very successful business. After speaking to him, I continued on my way to the hotel. Having directed my feet to this establish- ment, I discovered a battered sign with the words Night Club smeared hastily upon it. Behind this unpretentious announcement, I per- ceived an imposing structure which appeared to have cnce been a fashionable suburban home. But in keeping with its surroundings it too had deteriorated. Its stained white walls and broken window panes were in sharp contrast, however, with the joyful noises pouring out from within. I moved slowly to the door and cautiously peeked in suddenly. I felt my hand clasped and shaken rather vigorously so that I received the sensation of floating in space. After this stimulating experience, I picked up my specta- cles, my teeth, and myself and looked up into the cheery face of the keeper of the inn- Andrew P. Steffan. Andy had always been remembered for his sobriety, but some time after his graduation he had gotten married. Ever since, no one had been able to hold him down. In a popular vote held by his neighbors, it was decided to send him to Bexley. After Andy's greeting I was conveyed by stretcher up to my room where I prepared myself for the reunion festivities which were to follow. That evening as I came down the stairs, I was bowled over by a somewhat overweight person sliding dovm the bannister. I picked Compliments of Friend I. M. BOBB CO. fo o d b r o k e r s representing COLLEGE INN FOOD i PRODUCTS 6'Duncan Hines Cake M ixes Starkist Tuna Page One Hundred Four myself up from the floor only to find myself staring into the roly poly, sympathetic face of Tom Kirkendall. Tom had been an extremely talented inventor but decided to move to Bexley when he was discovered placing smoke bombs in letters to the President of the United States. After setting up his equipment in Bexley, he invented a robot with the most wonderful cooking ability in the world. Tom then retired and began putting on the 320 pounds cf which he was now proud possessor. As I crawled into the living room, I noticed two interesting chaps bent over a midget chess- board. They were none other than Ioe Sculler and Ken Abbott. After graduation Ioe had con- tinued in his line of photography to be-come a much sought after individual. Ioe took ex- tremely secretive shots of such subjects as birds building their nests, watchmen making their rounds, and bank presidents opening their safes. The underworld particularly enjoyed his latter two occupationsg but when the Humane Society complained that he disturbed the birds building their nests, Ioe found refuge in Bexley. Ken also had had an outstanding career. His skill as a doctor had been noted throughout the world. He ran into difficulties with the au- thorities, however, when it was discovered that he had sewed up small bombs with time fuses in his patients. His presence in Bexley was thoroughly feared by all so that he' was given a pension for the promise that he would never practice medicine again. Suddenly I heard a growling and a gnashing of teeth like so many lions. Glancing out of a cracked window I perceived Bill Rinehart with his collection of dogs. Bill had been en- joying a lucrative position of training dogs for show when he made the discovery that dogs could be trained to do many other amusing tricks, for instance turning on the TV set, leaping on Brinks men carrying payrolls, and doing away with incriminating witnesses for the state. Bill decided upon moving to Bexley when one of his cute little pets dragged a policeman home to play with. tContinued on page 1079 Compliments of Wilsons Auto' Service 95 N.

DAVIS One Hundred Six While I was looking outside, I noticed a brave individual scampering through trees. Upon closer examination I recognized Tod Ross, the famous electronics expert, stringing up a radio aerial. Tod had startled the radio world when he had created a radio receiver in a red plastic case. By the by, the radio also picked signals in any language and translated them into English. When it was learned that his seemingly innocent letters to Radio Moscow were in reality reports on his female slave trade with Russia, Tod came to take up resi- dence in Bexley. Here he became an atheist broadcasting a beam which drowned out all Sunday church programs. My attention was drawn back to the party by the lilting notes of the piano in the corner. There in shirt tails and black loafers, Boy Deemer squeezed his happy music from the piano. Roy was enjoying an extremely suc- cessful career when, after a prison concert, he was found to be smuggling two convicts out of the prison in his piano. Roy then came to the conclusion that his next engagement should be at Andy's Hotel in Bexley. Operating a bar behind Roy's piano, was Stuart Moonshine Wasserstrom. In college Stuart found that bedsteads constructed of metal tubing made wonderful stills. Stu soon had every existing bedstead of this kind in his distillery plant. He was making himself a fortune when the army began to wonder how its officers' club could buy so much whiskey for so little money. In the investigation that followed, Bexley found itself with one more citizen in its tax records. After having had one of Stu's concoctions, I staggered away in search of the rest of the illustrious Class of 1955. I didn't have to go far, for suddenly I felt cz rather sharp blow on my neck, and then a somewhat forceful squeezing in the same vicinityy finally I heard the cry, Fore! When I came to and looked up to see who was unwrapping the number one wood from around my neck, I found my- self staring into the compassionate eyes of Thomas Rice. Pardon me, he mumbled. l fContinued on page 1097 Compliments of Marzetl'i's Resta u ra nt 0 16 E.

Good old Tom, up to his harmless practical jokes again. He had begun his life after graduation by purchasing the Columbus Country Club and converting it into his own private golf course. One day while arguing with his wife over a divot in his coffee, Tom discovered the remarkable capabilities of a golf club as a Weapon. He soon had the CCC clubhouse turning out golf clubs with weighted heads, with razor sharp leading edges, and with concealed 22 caliber rifles. My broken neck was consoled when Tom told me that the experiment on me was so success- ful that he was going to put that driver into production. Tom lefty and When, five minutes later, l picked myself up oft of the floor, I found that l was being buffeted about by a stiff breeze. The vigorous motion of air was being caused by no other persons than the literary followers of the Class of '55-George Benedict and Chris Brookhouse. Apparently, George thought that Chris's last issue of Mad Comics was too maleficent to the kiddies. tUpon issuance, 4,000 children murdered their mothersj Chris, on the other hand, was blasting George's last issue of the Bexley Carczvel for its lack of zest tpinup picturesl. The resultant breeze was cooling and refreshing anyway. Before coming to Bexley, George had been the successful editor of the New York Herald Tribune. When it was re- vealed that the symbols on his daily weather maps were actually secret messages to the racketeers of the town, George decided that the Muses were calling him to pour forth his literary genius on Bexley, and not New York. Chris found success in the comic book in- dustry. After having composed 69 not too profitable novels, Chris decided to buy the EC comic syndicate. He changed the EC from Educating Comics to Evil Comics and came to create such morbid pieces of literature that he forced Charles Addams into retirement. Chris moved to Bexley when he discovered that 932 of his comic book circulation was there. CContinued on page ll0l Page One Hundred Nine I turned from this educational assemblage to find myself looking over the gaming table. In the process of placing his pants in the poker pot was Bruce Miller, while nearly hidden be- hind an immense heap of chips was Don Katz. Bruce came to the conclusion that he should move to Bexley when it was discovered that he was Winning the milk money from Colum- bus Academy students in card games. Don, however, had been the only intelligent person in the class. After graduating from college, he married a sweet heiress of a million dollars and then settled down to mourn the foul ends of his classmates. At the reunion Bruce had taught him how to play black jack, with the idea of making a kill. When I left them, how- ever Don was quoting to Bruce how much he felt Bruce's watch was worth for use in the next hand. After all of this wickedness, I thought that there must be some honest individual in this crowd. My hopes were raised when I saw three scholarly-looking gentlemen perusing books of law while they were floating lazily in the birdbath in a green canoe with a large, white K painted near the stern. I was not sur- prised when I learned that the canoeists were Tom Arnold, Fred Appleton, and Sheldon Taft, nor was I surprised when I saw that the law volumes before them were merely disguising the actual objects of their interests-Mad Comics. I was preparing to ask them about their careers when two of them leaped on me and held me down while the other pushed a Keewaydin catalogue in my face and began to extol the virtues of this summer camp. When they learned that I was a little too old, they let me up and listened to my questions con- cerning their life histories after high school. Forty-five minutes later I escaped from their flood of oratory to piece together these stories. Tom had been a brilliant student of law. He had felt himself assured of a fine career when he successfully argued that Ielke was innocent of any charges imposed upon him by the state of New York. Tom soon saw, however, that such cases of criminal law were the only ones that CContinued on page ll2l Compliments of PAUL 61 VIC'S HAIRDRESSERS Compliments of MAU RY'S DRUGS Compliments of The Town House Compliments of EASTMOOR DRIVE-I N I Page One Hundred Ten Compliments of Ray Lee Jackson i Photographer 1271 E B Cl St FE 8051 R cl F' k S I u y IC a es, Incorporated The House of Sincere Service O0 E.

Fred had been a great economist. The United States Government soon heard of his skill and had him at work minimizing the ex- penses of the government. Fred did a magnifi- cent job by cutting the U.S. budget from 80 billion dollars to iBl93,288.56. Question arose, however, because although the government spent only this small amount, it still took in 80 billion dollars in income. W'hen people began to ask what had happened to the differ- ence, Fred decided that his health required some good, Bexley climate. Sheldon had shone in politics. After his start in Congress, he pushed through a law allowing 18-year-olds to vote. Then with the motto, No draft with Taft, he was swept to the office of President of the United States by the greatest majority in history. When he dis- covered that the White House couldn't contain his family of eleven children, he retired from the job of president after one term at the ripe old age of 39 and returned to Bexley Where he was elected mayor. I left these three to their canoe and wandered into the kitchen where I discovered two indi- viduals working eagerly over a pot on the stove. The two turned out to be Dave Boothby and Frank Iunkermann. Dave had once been a gentleman farmer with the most productive farm in the world. He grew the largest turnips, the largest ears of corn, ond the largest lemon drops. He decided to move to Bexley when it was discovered that his mythical money tree grew not on water and sunshine but rather on fine paper, green ink, and two steel plates. Frank had been a famous scientist. He attained his highest point of success when he discovered a method of making a bomb ten times as powerful as the hydrogen bomb from lV2 cups sugar l cup flour V2 teaspoon salt lV4 cups egg whites 2 tablespoons water V2 teaspoon vanilla V2 teaspoon almond extract Continued on page ll4l Compliments of PEMBRCKE Insurance Company Page One Hundred Twelve FLOWERS Anytime-Any Price just Call-CA. 4-1201 VIERECK THE FLORIST 84 S. 4:11 at Stare Compliments of FAR EAST RESTAURANT Columbu 2801 East Main Street s 9, Ohio DO. 4113 HUTCHINS MOTOR SALES INC. 744 N.

I had just about come to the conclusion that there wasn't an honest soul remaining in this class when suddenly I heard a weak little voice singing hymns and quoting passages from the Scriptures. This voice of hope originated from none other than Rex Elliott. Rex had been sent by the Salvation Army as +a missionary to convert the lost souls which inhabited Bexley. Having spent only fifteen years here, he had not yet had any success, but his hopes were still high: for as he said, Another flood might comep and he had the only ark in town. Disillusioned, I decided to leave this den of iniquity. As I was stalking out through the door, though, whom should I run into but Iames Beatty. Putting out ia sports car called the lim had been the most celebrated auto manufacturer in the world. He was best known for his police car specials. These speedy autos, however, had a nasty habit of running oft of the road whenever they were pursuing a particular green car from the scene of many crimes. When it was brought to light that the gre-en car was Iim's and that his police car specials could be controlled by a special radio device in his car, he decided that Bexley wouldn't be such a bad place to live in after all. That was the end. I couldn't take it any longer. Without even caring where I was going, just so it was out of Bexley, I began to run. I ran and I ran. I finally got to Columbus some days later, where I rushed to the offices of the Columbus Star to submit my story. It was never printed. Two weeks later I was sent to Dippy Hill Mental Asylum, where I now reside.
