Now just drink this pleasant potion and we'll see whether you're a base or an acid. What do you mean 'how'? It's very simple. If you're a base, your feet drop off, if you're an acid, your head turns purple. Win Essex has just taken another giant stride forward in his mastery of science in all of its more interesting aspects-such as corrosion, explosion, and general de- struction. Win's knowledge of chemistry is already so great that, if he chose to do so, he could easily blow up each member of the class with a different kind of 26 WINFIELD S. ESSEX, JR. Football - 1, 2 Swimming - 4- Academy Life - 3, 4- Glee Club - 2, 3 French Club - 4- explosive. Fortunately he has not yet chosen to do so. Another reflection of Win's interest in the scientific is his shiny red Jaguar, which spends about two thirds of its time dismantled in Win's garage. Although science and cars occupy much of Win's time, he still manages to maintain good grades, support Academy athletic teams, and serve as an advertising manager for The Academy Life. While carrying this heavy schedule, Win is, of course, always waiting for the great day when Mr. White will let him blow the entire football field sky-high.

STANLEY P. DEUTSCH Swimming - 3, 4 Glee Club - 2, 3 Caravel - 4- When someone comes to a party at 11 P.M. on a starless, moonless night, wearing very, very dark sun- glasses, he is either crazy or Stan Deutsch. Stan's cool antics, his bongo drums, and his dialect conversations with Mike Sussman have kept our class in hysterics many times, occasionally to the intense displeasure of some of the squarer members of the faculty. Without a doubt Stan is one of the most humorous characters in our class. 5 3 But, although Stan would be the first to deny it, he is actually much more than a carefree comic. Through hard work he maintains good grades, often making the Honor Roll. Moreover, his athletic abilities have earned him a position as a diver on the varsity swimming team. Stan's humor and his hard work have won him many friends at The Academy, friends who will surely post bail when he is arrested for playing his bongos in the office of the Governor. 25

C. JAMES GALLANT III French Club - 3, 4 Jim Gallant is in many ways typical of the rebirth of interest in the intellectual in a country which for many years considered the learned man almost a plague upon society. Jim's aptitude for learning and his love of knowledge have led him to acquire a working knowl- edge of three foreign languages-French, German, and Russian-and to take several advanced courses at Ohio State University in addition to his regular curriculum at The Academy. His propensity for learning is reflected in the fact that he received a Certificate of Merit in the National Merit Scholarship contest. Jim's intellectual capabilities and his strong desire to learn have already assured him of success in whatever he chooses to do. 27
