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

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.

F. Michael Hertenstein Football l, 2, 3, 4 Track 2, 3, 4 Varsity HA 2, 3, 4 The familiar cry, usteinli' is inevitably heard wherever Mike Hertenstein is, on the athletic field or in the chemistry lab. Mike is a natural athlete who has done well in every sport. As a halfhack on the football team, Mike was hampered by his light weight: how- ever, whenever he had a broken field, he was almost impossible to bring down. For many an opposing half- back or end he was an unshakeable defender. His speed has been even more useful to him as a trackman. He is undoubtedly one of the best sprinters the school has seen. He runs the 100 and 220 yard dashes and is on the 880 yard relay. His speed has also proved in- valuable to him in getting away from classmates unap- preciative of his genius as the class,s master practical joker. Mike is not all play, though, he has always maintained honor grades in several subjects. It's a wise policy to watch Stein, if he isn't doing something noteworthy, he's dreaming up some clever trick you'll probably discover too late.
