'H -.J:!5ir- ROBERT ERNEST ESCH 'KWSBXC calling CQ . . . come in CQN . . . is a familiar sound in Bob,s home radio station. Proud possessor of a first class operatoifs li- cense, his profile lights up like a tube whenever the general discussion turns towards the pin ball reactionisms of diastrophic condensors. Other ventures into the theory of sound have made Bob a deep bass in the Glee Club. Mental and physical sturdiness, liberally sprinkled with wit, characterizes him. The acrid fall air inspires him to painstakingly study the variable contortions of soccer balls. Tuned up for an electrical engineering career, Bob is on the right ware Entered Form 111 length at M.I.T. Gift Committee 6 Casual and soft-spoken with a melancholy DUDLEY JAMES GAECKLE voice, llomer', plunged into the spot- Entefed Form V light at the fullback post in football last fall. In other sports, his sharp eye on the basketball floor is mute evidence of the type of Kingswood women he picks. This Dakotan can adapt himself to all situations, even that of Lower School prefect which, he says, reminds him of his job as line-backer on the gridiron. After slicing up several opposing gridmen last fall, Jim decided to become a doctor and study pre-med at Carleton.

When the day is done, Si likes to relax with his record player and read the sports page. He is an avid athletic enthusiast on the soccer field, and in his dorm room he is at no loss to discuss the relative merits of alligator wrestlers, college quarterbacks or Siberian polo ponies.

A little applied elbow grease plus a clever wit have kept his marks arching around the ceiling since his freshman year. Cum Laude honors and a BROOK board position have been a few of the tangible rewards for conscientious cerebral endeavor. One of the busiest day boys, Iohnis extra-curricular activities are almost limitless. To stay close to sports, he has managed basketball for two years. An engineering career is his ambition, and Amherst his first step.

Coming to us from Manila where VICTOR LANGAR CARPIO JR he had gone through all of the Enmed Form VI terrors of war, Vic has seen a part of life that many of us never want to. This quick-witted Filipino has an un- usually good comprehension of the English language and has been quick to understand Cranbrookis customs and rules. A member of the Rifle Club, he hopes to make some guns by hand in the near future. Vic plans to take a liberal arts course at either the University of Michigan or the University of the Philippines in Manila.

His long boots and aggressive fullback play were predominant factors in the soccer team's highly successful season. A rolling laugh and ready wit have gained for him a host of friends. Never one to discourage friendly relations, Bill has found Kingswood companionship to his liking, although he says he prefers sophisticated girls. Future plans for Mr. Tall include a business education at Michigan. Ergasterion I3-4, Lost and Found Committee 6, C Club 6, Soccer 6.

His seeming melancholy at Cranbrook stems from the fact that Tom is striving seriously for his goal of an engineering degree at Northwestern through hard academic plugging. Tom enjoys all kinds of music and claims he can fall asleep to Bach counterpoint or raucous Ken- ton. Always involved in the sciences, Tom's chemistry and physics have led to an interest in photography, though socially he is seldom in the dark.

Harnessing his vitality as head cheerleader, he is always ready to match stories with anybody. Warren is gifted with that rare ability to laugh at himself as he constantly entertains others with his deliberate blunders and common-sensical humor. His imperturb- ability serves him equally well on the football field and at parties, where he is always the good-natured goat. With a wide-spread influence among his large following, Warren's frustrated teachers and many friends will miss him.

To be closely associated with music is HARRY LEONARD HATTON one of Harry's basic loves. He saws a wicked cello and enjoys singing in several choral groups as an outlet for his rhythmic creativeness. Comes the warm air of spring and Harry drops Tschaikowsky and starts tennis, for this top-notch netter is a mainstay on the courts. Following in the family footsteps, he earned a prefectship and was exiled to the Lower School to practice his child psycholo- gy. A big success there, he plans, in later life, to enter the tanning industry and has been getting some practice recently on his mischievous charges.

Few chairs can accommodate him as he is an advocate of the slouch and relax method which enables him to listen or sleep in the classroom on the horizontal level. Bob likes rough fun, informal football and Kingswood girls. In the Christmas Pageant, though, he starred as a wise man and his voice, pitched like the bottom of a well, has been a Clee Club standout.

Possessed with Entered Fmmll lightning coordination and a muscular physique, he literally sweeps the ladies off their feet. While engaging in most of his extra-curricular activities on weekends, riflery is his main interest on campus and he has won many awards for his sharpshooting. Though he prefers four-wheeled transportation for dates, Bill is at home among the clouds in his light plane. In winter he plays a ferocious brand of hockey at defense, reputedly able to stop anything from a Mack truck down.

Gifted with an easy-running Entwed Form V stride and exceptional wind, he has whirled around the cinder paths for his share of points in the mile. Something of a lone wolf in the off-season, Warren hides behind a big pair of horn-rim- med glasses and pretends to take studying seriously. Although he does well at his books, he prefers to sit back and ruminate on weekend fun and the frivolities of women or allied topics. Warren plans to push on to Miami University, Ohio, after graduation. Clee Club 6, Model Club 5, Game Room Committee 6
