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

'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.

After more rhythm and harmony study at the University of Virginia, he hopes to join the staff of his father,s musical store. 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.

JOHN RICHARDS HOLDSWORTH Ricardo is a dyed-in-the-wool Latin. He speaks iiuent Span- ish, has travelled south of the border, and there are those who say he even takes a mental four-hour siesta every afternoon. Be that as it may, Dick is an appreciative observer of life in our good neighbor republics and would like to enter a business field where he can put his international talents to work. Glee Club and wrestling have absorbed his interests here at school. Getting away from this cold country, Dick aims for Entered Form IV Trinity College in Connecticut. Glee Club 5-6, Administrative Committee 6 Don has great mechanical and artistic DONALD THEODORE JONES perception. His tastes are gratified in Ememd Form IH clay or woodworking in the shop, and as a sophomore architect he designed Mr. Sperryis Biology Research Building. Don does not believe in a hurried, frustrated life and likes to achieve results at his own speed, not to do things for doings sake but to enjoy the task each day. He does not find school work too hard and relaxes from studies with an occasional game of tennis or Glee Club singing. His modest but steady plugging should carry him a long way in engineering at Colby. Glee Club 5-6. Christmas Pageant 5-6, Choir 6, Biology Research 4-5, Game Room Com- mittee 6 TALCOTT ALDRED JONES Athlete supreme and socialite undaunted, Entered Form IV Tal has put his accent on extra-curricular activities at Cranbrook. Captaining this year's quintet, the little monsterv has netted seven varsity letters in ball carry- ing, hoop shooting and ball hurling. It is this spirit and drive that made him an All American Page Hall prefect QHHOW neat can we get? l. Outside the class- room this Chicagoan has been especially active in Glee Club and Choir, taking the role of a wise man in the Christmas Pageant. Providing his encounter with a Spanish book turns out successfully, he will enter Georgia. Prefect, Glee Club 4-5-6, Christmas Pageant 4-5-6, CU Club 4-5-6, Football 5-6.

Howard is handsome and powerfully built, though he inclines to the quiet side of school life, prefering to kick up his heels on weekends, He has handled the clarinet in the band since Lower School days, but his ultimate destination is in the field of designing at Michigan State. BROOK 6, Rifle Ciub 3-5, Band 2-3-4, Pillar Committee 6 ROSS MACKINNON LAVERTY Anything concerning jet fuels or rocket borne radar weapons is lively conversation for Kinnon. Long time model club member and aerodynamic ex-president, his adaptable scientific apti- tude shows itself in all classes where he consistently ranks high. Modest and of retiring disposition, Kinnon has chosen his opportunities and friends carefullv and devotes a lot of time to hitting the books. He is not built like a prai- fessional football player but his size came in handy on the wrestling mat. Mechanical engineering at Stanford or Cal. Tech. is his goal.
