It is difficult for us to write about Larry, for he has only attended the Academy for two years and we have not gotten to know him as well as we would have liked. Never- theless, in those two years, Larry has shown himself to be a friendly but shy type of non- conformist. He has not been particularly smart in school-workg but, this is not because he is stupid, but because he has not worked, despite this, he often astounded his critical classmates with his knowledge of music or some obscure aspect of chemistry. Perhaps the greatest mark of Larry's char- acter is that he has remained considerate and friendly despite the constant indifference and sometimes outright hostility of his class- mates. He is always willing to help on a project or job, and has never been known to heckle a fellow classmate. But, what kind of person is Larry? None of us knows. It is an indictment of the class, not of Larry, for none of us has taken the time to shatter Larry's natural barrier to find out. 20 LAWRENCE M. BRANSCOMB Ezziereci Academy in 1966 Soccer ....

Shakespeare: Is not beauty, discourse, man- hood, learning, gentleness, virtue, and such- like, the spice and salt that season a man ? -jolly right, Will, ol' chap. Pity there isn't n'er many left with spicing like that, Mr. Shakespeare, zounds, but I know o' one. There's one in th' kingdom 'erself-lives in Australia, I think they call it, gov'na. It's one of them islands down under, I do believe. Lad there named Borrowdale-john Borrowdale. I-Ie's got those things you was saying, gov'na-to a one. In his single year at the Academy, john has overcome the truly challenging obstacles of his adjustment. He has permanently dis- spelled any misimpressions that an All- American boy must be American. John exerts a maturity, good-naturedness, and an articulateness which transcend any difference of nationality. His warmth of companionship, his sincere selflessness and dedicated friend- ship are truly satisfying to encounter. john has made a deep impression on each member of this class by showing us that America has no copyright on virtue or patent on integrityg that those qualities which make a boy a man are as universal as man himself. The class of 1968 regrets that john has been our friend only one brief year. His chair will be conspicuously vacant when we reunite. In just this short year, his spice has flavored our food unmistakably. After he is gone, the feast will have lost that unique, foreign, and thoroughly-enjoyable gusto of his presence. That John is a Foreign Exchange Student seems inappropriate to mention, for John is certainly not foreign and is much more than just a student .,Unlike exchange stu- dents before him, John is not merely a curious alien who talks funny. He is a true and remarkable friend to us all. JOHN E. BORROWDALE Entered Academy in 1967 Baseball .............. Soccer ........ Academy Life Varsity A . . Dramatics .. Honor Court A.F.S.

During his four years at the Academy, Charlie has established himself as one of the studdest guys to hit the school in recent memory. During these four years, Charlie has been the class authority on everything from Otis Redding and Carla Thomas to Man-Mountain 'Cannon and the Shiek. The graphic descrip- tions of his weekly pilgrimage to Cooper Arena have kept the class informed on the happenings in the big-time wrestling world, while his knowledge of music has made him our only contact with pure soul. Besides his four point in these two fields, Brouhaha has maintained a respect- able three point in school. Despite the large amount of time he has devoted to play- ing organ in, first, the immortal Blue Notes and, now, the Instrumentals, Charlie man- ages to make second group, and be an officer in the Spanish Club and a proctor. Nevertheless, the mundane world of the Academy is not Charlie's favorite domain. He is much more at home at Cooper Arena or behind his organ. 2l
