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.

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.

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.
