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.

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.

Gil Kirk-fast halfback, basketball player, lover of Elvis and rock and roll, driver of fast cars, adventurer, and owner of a sparkling personality-is a very versatile and popular fellow. Seldom inactive, Gil has hobbies ranging from playing his guitar to cruising down Alum Creek in a rubber raft. Gil seems to believe that the best defense is a good of- fense. In football his best playing was on offense, while in basketball his height made him a constant scoring threat. A hard worker in sports, Gil showed conspicuous improve- ments during each season. Even in friendly arguments de- signed verbally to tear one another apart Gil was often the first to clobber someone with a wisecrack that rendered the unfortunate victim helpless. 26 GILMAN D.
