In five effervescent years at Cranbrook, Bob ROBERT DALLAS LEISTER has bubbled over with school spirit twenty- Enmed Fam, H four hours of every day. A do or die winner of countless varsity letters, big Bob is a follower of many sports and perpetually manages to show it, come game time, by getting all muddied up, no matter how dry the field. Covering spot passes rather than spot passagesi' appeals to him, though his above-average marks testify to hard work. In recog- nition of his leadership and ardent participation, Bob served as Page senior prefect this year. The responsibility was easily carried on his broad shoulders.

A spring quarter miler and fall cross-country man, he has taken his plaudits in his stride. If jack were as fast in physics as he is running, he would rival Einstein, but he performs well in both, thanks to a certain spark of genius and a lot of perserverance. Beside serious learning, he devotes some of his time to Ergasterion and a lot to the opposite sex. These complex relations sometimes become entangling, but john follows the Admiral's advice of never give up the ship.

He also wrestles with the emneshing problems of the fair sex, though here his quick knowledge of holds gives him an advantage. Full of spirits, he is very talkative and a colorful story teller. Always ready to attempt anything that looks dangerous or exciting, Ben spends his spare time brushing up on Charles Atlas in case he meets some top-notch grapplers at the college level.

Even though he has been dubbed the happy hypochondriacr by his friends, this has not prevented him from developing his athletic prowess as a varsity football guard and intramural basketeer. He plans to apply his mental dexterity to engineering at General Motors Institute. There he will con- centrate on his chosen field of business administration. Bob also enjoys week- ends at Grandma,s or Cleveland, where he always manages to have a good time land tell the whole school about itl. Glee Club 5-6, Christmas Pageant 5-6.

His tremendous power enabled him to dominate football line play and opposing grid hopefuls thought twice before trying a second off-tackle play on his side. As track captain, he has broken the 50 foot mark and school record in the shot-put. His handsome and respected figure was an energetic influence among 'C' Club members and on the school athletic scene. Summer finds him outdoors camping and canoeing in Canada, but he will go East to Princeton for a projected foreign service career.

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.

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.

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.

MILTON MATTER Milt combines mental alertness and a love of sport Entered Form In with some mischief in his diverse personality. Con- sistently line stage work and handsome features have netted him character roles in several dramatic productions as well as Ergaster- ion's presidency. Milt found his athletic ruggedness and Wrestling skills much in demand as Lower School prefect when his little charges good-naturedly piled on him before bedtime. His outdoor interests led him into the field of biology in the Conservation Club, and he would like to continue his nature studies along with a liberal arts course at Princeton. Lower School Prefect, Ergasterion 5, President 6, Rifle Club 3-4-5-6, Camera Club 4, Con- servation Club President 3, Servers Guild 5-6, C Club 4-5-6, Wrestling 4 Toby lances out like a scared CHARLES THQBURN MAXWELL II rabbit at the beginning of a Entemd Fmm I cross-country race and just stays in front for two miles. This is characteristic, for his success has come through conscientious work and perseverance. Cheery and voluble, miler Maxwell has been sprinting for top academic honors since Brookside days and has absorbed more than a formal education in his European travels. His journalistic skill has been busily creative this year as Crane sports co-editor and BROOK head. Toby aims to polish up on his diplomacy at Princeton.

Virtuoso maestro supremo, he has not yet come around to tickling the ivories with ubebopi' but does enjoy playing all the popular classics. With a Hair for the dramatic, Bill has developed into one of Ergasterion's standbys on stage and radio. He spends long hours practicing drama and the piano or studying, but it has paid off in satisfaction and high grades many times over. Tall and amiable, Bill hopes for a teaching career after Kenyon. Entered Form IV Ergasterion 5-6, Administrative Committee 6, Cv Club 6, Cross Country Manager 6 Surrounded by the foibles of human nature, FRED ELMER MEAD JR. F red, the Cranium's able country wit,', likes Entewd Fam, IV to sit back and poke fun at the local yokels in his famous syndicated column. His habitual cynicism gives way to complete depression when track season rolls around and he's forced to go out and pace the quarter mile. However, Fred braces up under the straln and manages to crack a weak smile when books are layed away and he can spend some weekend time in the big, bad city. Michigan State College beckons him come autumn.
