lf anyone in the Class of '64 played the role, it was John Exline. John has been in Stadium Theater extravaganzas and Players' Club productions, but the consummation of his Thespian career was his appearance in The Academy-CSG plays of 1963 and 1964. Despite the stringent demands of amateur theatrics, John was able to devote himself to other valuable extracurricular activities. Going out for the first time in his senior year, he lettered as a center on the football team. In addition, John was a stalwart of the baseball Vikings, and won intramural Bas- ketball's coveted most valuable player award. As Academy Life circulation manager, responsible for distributing 1000 copies of each issue, John spent many hours of his time. John came to The Academy as the Freshman Alumni Scholar and has consistently maintained honor grades in many of his courses. Perhaps John's most famous asset is his dancing ability. He is one of the few people in the entire city who has won a dance contest at the Button. In spite of his many activities John has always been a friendly and pleasant individual . 20 John B.

David N. Cohen Forum Swimming Tennis Glee Club Cum Laude l'd be happy if you would leave my book bag alone. 2, 3,4 34 4 I leuui No one will forget David. His personality has im- pressed itself upon us in a way that nobody else's can be said to have equaled. We have enioyed and appreciated him for seven years, sometimes the appreciation has been rather lively, such as the time when his desk was lifted out of the window during recess and deposited in the snow in front. But one of David's wonders is his endless cheerfulness and enthusiasm. Very few people have known Dave when he is gloomy or dis- couraged. David's unquenchable energy and spirits have led him into an active life. He is a member of several Jewish youth groups and is past president of the Agudas Achim Synagogue Youth Organization. For all his social life though, Dave has consistently been one of the best students at The Academy. He has been on the honor roll throughout high school and was inducted into the Cum Laude Society this year. Cheerfulness, industry, and irrepressible warm- heartedness-they are simple to name and praise, but hard to find in such clear purity, as they exist in David Cohen. I9

Daniel J. Friedman Forum Academy Life Caravel Class Officer Debate Club l l, 2, 3, 4 l, 3, 4 4 4 CPresidentj Who else but Dan would be looking forward to summer vacation so that he could go to Antioch. Dan was a noted intellectual during his twelve years at the Academy and was famous for his somewhat less than conservative views. He was one of the few students in the class who was capable of putting a teacher on the spot and could debate superbly as evidenced by his pres- idency ofthe Debate Club. Dan has served the school on both of its publica- tions. For the Life he was a reporter and for the Caravel he can be held responsible for most of the Senior articles. With Tony West and Ted Spiro Dan formed the awesome fifth period educational study group which explored virtually every aspect of social and school life. If he was not in the biology room during fifth period, he could be found at Ming's. Dan performed meritoriously out- side of school. He was chairman of many Jewish youth organizations and was chosen to receive the Pops Dworken award as the Jewish Boy of the Year. Dan is a free thinker who should help shape the philosophy of the United States in the years to come. 2l
