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

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.

Look, man Gig's been around. He knows every Deb from Phillie to New Jersey. He even knows that stud who ran off with the princess. Gig knows everybody down at the Varsity Club if you're interested. But let me warn you, man, stay off Gig's back. Gig played some football and baseball last year, but cause he's a transfer he was ineligible this year. Do you think that phased Gig? Heck no, Gig iust became Freshman assistant coach and taught the boys everything he knew. Gig's been watching the Phillies this year, and you can bet he'll find the game on the radio no matter where he is. Gig's sort of a genius too. He's got an LQ. of 140 he tells me, and when he wants to, he can really spout off some facts. Like I said, he's been around. Gig's an actor too. He tried out for the C.S.G.-Academy play last year and did a pretty good job. Gig's taken a lot of gaff from us, but I guess he's used to it cause it doesn't seem to bother him. It's hard to say what kind of a guy Gig is, but I guess none of us will ever know. Yea, Gig's been around. 22 William P GIIICSPIC, IV Football Basebal Va rsity l IIAII Academy Life Dramati Proctor CS Apollo
