Who in the Senior Class would send a week-old hamburger to a hungry friend in Canada? Only Al Farrar, the undisputed holder of the Class Humorist title. With this humor comes a penetration and poise that few in the class can equal. An independent in- dividual, he clearly prefers the life of the woodsmang he has spent several summers canoe-tripping through Canada, and he hunts and fishes with an assortment of guns and rods that any outdoorsman would envy. He has his own trio for which he plays guitar and ban'o singing im robable sonffs. At the beginning of J? CD p C last summer, Al took up photography and, in the re- markably short time of a few months, became one of the best camera and darkroom men the Caravel has had. Al is responsible for many of the pictures in the Caravel, and he is chiefly responsible for the schoolls new darkroom, for which he has done nearly profes- sional plumbing and carpentry. Al, ineligible because he transferred from Arlington in the junior year, was an unofficial assistant coach for the swimming team. This humorist and thrower of memorable stag parties is one of the most able and practical, as well as one of the most entertaining of the Seniors.

'4Now, Mr. Rosser wearily sighs, Hare there any questions on this test? Mr. Rosser always cringes when he makes such a statement, because he knows that a flood of hands will be the answer to his question. One of those hands is sure to be that of Don Epler. If Don doesn't know the answer to a question, he will ask someone until he finds the answer. He is certainly one of the most thorough students in the class. This same drive has made Don an All-County honorable- mention fullback on the football team and a fine shot- putter on the track team. Don has lettered in football Donald F.

Up until last year, he was the golf team's best player but then decided to be on a winning team: the track team. The enthusiasm with which Don does almost everything has made him liked by both his classmates and teachers. His election to the presi- dency of Varsity NA, an office which he has fulfilled conscientiously, indicates this popularity. Without doubt, Donls inquiring nature, steady drive, and en- gaging personality will greatly benefit him in the future.

R. O. is remarkable. His even temper is amazing, nothing, not English tests nor Hdiscuss-fullyisn nor even lVlr. Rosser's lab experiments elicit from him any feeling of terror or anxiety. He very calmly goes about his business, often in a very original manner. A most entertaining conversationalist, he enlivens any discus- sion in or out of the classroom. His literary criticisms and oral reports are always perceptive and often sprinkled with understatement. He has lived in Ger- many for a year, and has a fair knowledge of that country and its language. Rick dives for the swimming Richard 0. Fuller Swimming Clee Club C aravel team to the accompaniment of prayers from Mr. Mc Graw. He goes through his dives with an air of uncon cern that rattles both opponents and teammates. How ever, he is usually concerned enough to finish first or second. Rick has always lent'a reliable hand to class projects. When working on the Prom, he would startle his classmates by jumping down from the scaffolding rather than climbing because it Hsaves time. This amiable nonconformist has not ceased to amaze both classmates and teachers since he came to the school 23l
