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.

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.

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.
