Who has the Playboy in the senior homeroom? Who's always up ? Only the infamous Eric Rick Brandes. Often the topic of conversation among seniors, Rick has varied interests. An athlete, he has put the shot on the track team and started for two years as guard on the football squad. A musician, he is active in the Glee Club and plays piano. Although he is sometimes hard to find, Rick is at all the parties. Determination marks Rick's character. In track, he puts in long hours of practice. In football, he always puts all out. In his studies, he is an assiduous student. If such determination were prevalent in more of us, our class would be alittle bit better than it already is. 21

If friv- Brad Bradford is the most uncommon member of the class in that he has no enemies. Brad is a very quiet, shy person who never says much in or out of the classroom. He can never be heard talking about anyother person or doing anything which could disfavor him in anyone's eyes. He will also do anything possible for his friends. Even though Brad is quiet, he always seems to be in on anything that happens. Wherever the action is, that's where you'll find Brad. In sports, Brad is a silent leader, leading with actions rather than words. He is a co-captain of the swimming team. Brad is indestructibleg he never seems to get hurt or sick. He has also been a consistent weight lifter for several years which has made him almost solid muscle. In future years you may find Brad leading the best travel agency in Colrunbus or drumming at the Maramor. Yet wherever you find him, you'll recognize immediate- ly his affable character and warm greetings. 20 PHILANDER S. BRADFORD, III.

Entering the Academy in the junior year is indeed a social task as well as an academic task for a student. But to make the adjustment so well that he impresses his peers is a great achievement. Steve Coleman has done just this. Steve is a great 'Gonk' guy. His honesty and friendliness have gained the deep admiration of the seniors. There was no better choice for the Senior Honor Court than Steve. When underclassmen hear seniors yelling, Gonk, this is not a chant or a ludicrous sound. It is Steve's nickname. Steve is such a friendly guy that even the big, bad OHSAA had to consent to his playing football for the Vikings this season after having started one game for Marysville. Playing a tough tackle, he was an asset to the team. A member of the basketball and track squads, Steve's service has been in- valuable. Steve's attitude is always forthright. He never has second thoughts when doing somethingg he goes ahead and does it. A member of the fourth period bull sessions, he is never afraid to speak his mind. Steve has won our admiration at the Academy. We are certain this feeling will not end here. 22 STEPHEN C.
