Many of us remember the spontaneous keep-away games in which Tim Benua would dive at the heels of some meddlesome upperclassman who soon found himself sprawled upon the ground. Tim,s sheer deter- mination has since made him one of the best athletes in the class. On the football squad, his drive and re- fusal to quit have enabled him to outplay larger oppo- nents. This year he was baseball Co-Captain and prob- ably the most outstanding player on the team. His steady hitting and sharp fielding have been for several Thomas R. Benua, J r.

Tim's activities, how- lNC, rn ever, extend to other areas as well. Since his junior year he has been a member of the Young Americans for Freedom, a conservative political study organiza- tion whose viewpoint he has determinedly expounded to the frustration of the more liberal elements in the class. During his years at The Academy, in his activi- ties, in his thoughts, in his occasional idiosyncrasies fsuch as the wildly-colored, unmatched clothes he wearsj, Tim has shown an independent outlook few have equaled.

of 1963 members of the class have kept up a Weekly touch football game for many years that has occasionally drawn players from other classes. For many of us, The Academy has been the center of our lives during the last several years. Studies, athletics, and extracurricular activities have given us many varied experiences. A general good humor has existed in the class, and has permeated classrooms, discussions, and class projects. The projects have been rather profitable. The shysters among us have wheedled over 561500 from our Sophomore and Junior refreshment stands. This money poured in while we poured out such novelties as Om Punch. Most of us worked on these stands and cut classes to create our lavish Roman-orgy Prom. Class efforts of this sort have drawn us together into one unit that is free of cliquesg we have a host of nicknames for our more colorful members. The Academy has come to mean a good deal to us in the last few years, for it is here that We have made good friends, and that We have experienced something of an in- tellectual and emotional awakening.
