Wouter Korringa Math Club Forum Track Cum Laude It's a simple game requiring only rudimentary genius. Some boys have become known among us as the class intellectuals, the class humorists, and so forth. Wouter Korringa has the unusual distinction of being the class chant. Actually there is a con- siderable reality in the distinction of his position. For as many years as we can remember he has been a symbol of the pride, independence, and determination of our class. Whenever we have sought to assert our spirit we have turned to him. Wouter will be more seriously remembered as one of the finest minds in the class. He has been on the First Honor Roll for most of his high school career. He has shown exceptional aptitude for the fields of science and mathematics, he often tinkers with extracurricular experiments in chemistry and physics at home. He has dabbled in archaeology. Wout returned this year after spending his iunior year in France. Born in the Netherlands, he is a true cosmopolite. Wouter is known among us, and he will be remembered when many others are forgotten. 29

The Class of '64 was not famous for being quiet and courteous. Nevertheless a few of its members were mature enough to realize that the class's con- duct was not always the best. One of these boys was Mike Jones. Throughout his two years at The Academy Mick displayed a rare blend of quiet strength and the willingness to express his con- victions. He had the nerve to write a letter to the Editor of the Life attacking the attitude of the boys of the school. This was not done out of bitterness but out of a sincere desire to improve the image of the school. Mike was an extremely capable student. He was consistently on the honor roll and his work in Science and Mathematics are especially commend- able. In fact, Mike received the Glenn Seule Good- win Cup for science at Commencement. Mike has also served as photographer for both the Life and Caravel staffs. He has participated to the best of his ability in athletics and few can overcome his towering height in intramural basketball. Because of his intelligence, courage, and willingness to stick to his convictions Mike can be assured of success at college. 28 Michael B.

John, are you all right back there? Mr. Toffey is iust checking to see if Larrimer is awake. Al- though John seems to sleep through every class, he always manages to maintain about the highest grades in the class. He is always in First Group and was inducted into the Cum Laude Society his Jun- ior year. These achievements show that John is not sleeping but that he is probably iust dreaming of swinging through the jungle or something. In the summer of I963 John was chosen to the all-Columbia Avenue whiffle ball team. Although he claims whiffle ball is his favorite sport, he contributes to the Academy's teams too. All-County haltback two years, County League's leading scorer, district second leading scorer by two points, tri-Captain-John plays football. Consider- ing the fact that few people see him score, John claims that he plays basketball. Inspired by his idol, the immortal Jim Rader who nicknamed his protege Ferret, John runs track. He was a mem- ber of the state champion 880 relay team as a sophomore. Ferret has also provided the com- munity meeting house where everyone may be found watching Chiller Theater at 2:30 Saturday mornings. Certainly John's unassuming modesty and pleasant personality will win him friends and success wherever he goes. 30 John Footba I I Basketball Track Varsity A Class Officer Library Proctor Cum Laude N.
