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.

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.

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.
