An orange colored car streaks into the Academy parking lot with a sonorous roar. The driver guns the throbbing, power-packed motor and shatters the early morning still- ness. Then turning off the mighty mill of this bomb the owner climbs out and grins at the spellbound witnesses of his impressive entrance. Paul Kerschensteiner and his Volkswagen, all four cylinders in perfect running condi- tion, have arrived. Paul has taken an active part in athletics. A regular this year on the football team, he was a mainstay of the line. In winter his height and spirit were valuable to the basketball team. A lover of boating, much of Paul's time in the summer months is spent racing about in his boat on Buckeye Lake. 24 PAUL K.

DRURY D. JOHNSON Entered 1956 Temzif 3, 4 fmmmgerj Varfiiy A 3, 4 It'5 not much-1 but lf'ZS Y-Lgrne, As a volunteer for class projects, and a veteran of the junior Prom, we have always found him dependable. Because of his amiability we look forward to his com- pany and even more so the entertaining stag parties, dances, and picnics which, much to our delight, he frequently spon- sors. We ho e that his lans for the future will not carry him too far fiom Columlbus, for we will miss him. Wfhenever you see a black and red Volkswagen bus piloted by a lean, rustic figure smoking a pipe, wave, be- cause that is Dru Johnson. Likely as not, Dru will wave back, because he is by nature friendly and congenial. Every Friday evening he loads his bus with Seniors, and off they go in a cloud of tobacco smoke questing after sport, con- viviality, and girls. Dru made himself a valuable member of the celebrated ice hockey team, and as manager of the tennis squad he twice earned a well deserved letter. His knack with tools, his way with people, and his Microbus have made him a valuable member of the class. t x w x 23

A cheerful, amiable soul is Gale King. He shambles into school, kicks his little brother a tender good-bye, and meanders into the Senior homeroom, where he dumps his books. The day has begun, for Rex Cas some long-forgotten Latin student once named himj. Gale's chief interest is indicated by his not entirely un- deserved nickname Xy Rexy. It has been estimated that Gale divides his time about equally between sleeping, studying, and dating. In addition to these activities, Rex has found time to join the DeMolay fraternity and to become a bit of a hunting enthusiast. Moreover, in his first three years in high school, he was a member of the football squadg unfortunately a leg injury prevented him from playing this year.
