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.

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

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.

When he finally arrives at his chosen college, it will receive a valuable asset to the studen body.
