A craftsman first and last, Bill WILLIAM PARSHALL WHITFIELD is well remembered for his con- Entemd Form IV structivei' ideas. Aerodynamics is his avocation and his many model airplane creations include several prize- winners. Though he is so tall and thin he has to stand twice in the same place to make a shadow, Bill uses his build to advantage in soccer and track. His running form is nearly perfect in its speed and grace. This Tower has resisted the worldly temptations of dayboy life and kept his marks well above average.

Harvard and the advertising business Ergasterion 6, Pillar Committee 6, C Club 6, Soccer 6 LAURENCE B, WILLIAMS Among the strict boogie elite, Larry's care- free dayboy life is the true existence. The slow passing of t'me has so mellowed him in the orthodox big time tradition that his two-wheeled station wagon, unwitting class room quips and famous caught in the act decoy smile are almost legendary. A well-feigned ignorance sometimes involves him in minor troubles, but a line of modest corn often gets him out. To many, Larry is a hero in shin- ing armor, representing cruel school fate versus innocent boyhood. He will continue his very liberal education at Babson.

ALVA CHARLES TOMLINSON III Crack marksmanship is Tom's Entered Fenn I speciality. On his way up from the Hrst form, he has collected many trophies to attest to his skill in targeteering. Sportsmanlike, but hard checking, he has made his weight felt at defense on the hockey rink. Even when not playing, his enthusiasm shows itself in spirited cheerleading. Social Com- mitteeman Tomlinson is easy to talk to and remains one of the picked men who has survived the six year climb. Tom outlines his future plans to include being a millionaire with plenty of time to indulge in his urge for hunting and shooting.

Church Choir 5-6, Social Committee 6, C Club 6, Hockey 6 The forbidden pleasures of weekend DAVID EDMUND TOMPKINS revelling, late hours, and an occasional Entened Fern, HI pipe smoke seem doubly tempting dur- ing track training but Dave triumphantly and painfully turns them down. From saddle shoes to bow tie he is a nonchalant day boy and a pert epicurian. Dave likes good companionship and makes a close friend of almost all who know him, thanks to an adaptive wit and ready smile. Not even little bruisers mind being flagged down by this Fountains prefect. Long legs and a rhythmic running stride helped him develop into a two year cross-country standby. Prefect.

Scooping along as he does, this literary giant's monumental journalistic achievements speak for themselves. A twinkle in his eye, a boyish smile and a look of innocent coyness are apt to disarm the unknowing before the vigorous Mr. Editor hands out assignments for a six page edition. R. G. occasion- ally ventures over to the wrong side of the lake where his gentle satire makes him a popular and all too influential enemy. Never seeking the limelight while doing his thankless and unappreciated chores, Dick is indeed our man Friday.

Long-limbed and amusingly caustic, this high-stepping Pageman notched five varsity letters which he won by virtue of his baseball pitching prowess and soccer fullbacking efforts. Since he does not have any qualms about writing or telling others what he thinks, many improvement-minded activity leaders consider him a healthy iniiuence and their dearest foe. jim held the associate editorship of the BROOK. where his succinct phrasing and energy were put to work. However, second to none among his talking points are his designs on Williams College.

Other than his athletic duties, the pride of Pontiac's chief contribution is his adroit oboe and clarinet playing. Surprisingly enough, 1erry's hobby is chemistry, although he has not blown up anything as yet. Most Cranbrookians have infinite trouble mastering the fundamentals of chemistry, much less making a hobby of it. This well-rounded Stevens man plans to study medicine and strive eventually to become a psychiatrist. Band 5-6, Lost and Found Committee, Soccer Manager 6
