Who wants pizza or poor boys? This loud cry be- came a familiarity as Benson Gelin was once again trying to keep the class of ,59 well fed and thoroughly broke. Because of knawing recess hunger pains he usually did an admirable job of both. Ben, a happy and boisterous fellow, was usually to be found in the middle of a group of students entertaining them with one of his numerous jokes. Ben certainly ap- peared to be a rather frivolous character. However, we knew him to possess a more serious nature. We have often known him to give up a more pleasant pastime in order to hit the books. BENSON P. GELIN Ezzfereci Z9 Football 1, 2 Bafketball 1, 2 f777d72dg6l'j Bnfebazll I, 2 ffzzmzfzgerj f f 3 A Q...

WILLIAM S. DUTCHER JR. Entered' 1946 Football 3 Varfily A 3 Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4 QQ Q 2 Gr X wk 9,5 i fa, Q Q fn my 'B WSI b Bill has made many friends with his easygoing per- sonality. His responsible attitude has been an asset to the class in many projects and activities. This was demon- strated by the excellent job he did as chairman of our Junior Prom. Bill played football last year and won his letter. When he is not meandering about in his car, he spends his time with his fine hi-fi and stereophonic sound equipment. At exactly 2:50 P.M. a blue and white Ford convertible roars out of the Academy parking lot. Before most of us have gathered our books together, it is halfway to its destination. Where could the driver be going in such a hurry? Why, to Arlington High School, of course, where he will meet one of many of his steady girl friends. This lucky young man is none other than William Dutcher, playboy of the class of '59.

RODNEY L. GOULD Entered 194 7 Basketball 2, 3 frefervej, 4 Baseball 3, 4 X xx wx N f Ill 'J However, Rodney does not neglect his studies. He has worked diligently and earned many fine marks. For some time we have noticed that, at the beginning of each school year, Rodney's speech is sprinkled with many expressions similar to those of a local newscaster who broadcasts the games of the Columbus jets. This is merely a manifestation of Rodney's great love for popular sports. Rod is always up to date on the statistics of major league sports, especially those of his beloved d . . . Yankees. But Rod is not content to be a spectator of sports. Each year he has gone out for both the basketball and baseball teams with much enthusiasm. Wfhenever he has some spare time, he either practices basketball on his driveway court or forms a neighborhood baseball or football game, W- - l in-Llti i
