,.,kt twM't'..f9f QM M, ,tiny FREDERICK CHARLES WAGONER Fred's 6-foot frame joined the class last year, and has become a familiar sight around the campus since then. This year, as one of the leading lights of the cabin committee, Fred helped put the cabin in a much more important position on the Cranbrook scene. He has been one of the main actors in Ergasterion, as his record can testify. With his casual and friendly manner, Fred has been one of the prime advocates of the happy day boy existence. We understand that he has quite a reputation as a Romeo in the Royal Oak area. Fred's sights for next year are set on Wabash College, a men's college.

He has been a member of both the band and orchestra for the past four years. His French horn was one of the outstanding instruments in this year's operetta and in all of the select groups that have stemmed from the band in the past. Bob has done a good job in his studies and has applied to Michigan State as a preliminary step in becoming an osteopath. He has been a loyal member of the Student Federalists since their local chapter was organized. This year Bob was elected as secretary-treasurer of the band in recognition of his fine leadership.

QW t HARLEY DAVIS WARNER' II Most of Harley's six years at Cran- brook were spent as a day boy. In his sixth form year, however, he was committed to become a boarding student and took up his residence in Marquis Hall. His commendable record for so many years paid its reward, and Harley was elected to serve as Lower School prefect for the second half of the school year. In his fifth and sixth form years Harley won his letters in both cross-country and track. He was elected captain of both teams in his Senior year, an honor seldom bestowed upon one man. Harley plans to enter Washington and Lee and study Business Administration. With his winning personality and ready smile, we can see much ahead for him.

This name is well recognized from Kings- BRUCE DAVID WILLIAMS wood to every nook and cranny of the Cranbrook quad. Never one to overlook a dance, Bruce's social life has never seemed dull. His many extra-curricular duties have been carried out with his usual well-planned methods, as this book can witness. The heavy temptations of a day boy life havenit kept him off the honor list. His methodical way and persevering spirit have kept him among the top few of the class, and the same method and perseverance have put him high on the list of Ergasterion's actors and the Crane staff writers. Bruce's plans for next year include Harvard. Baoox Staff 5-6, Editor 6, Crane Staff 5-6, Ergasterion 5-6, School Social Committee 6.

Although Erwin's skills cover a large field, ERWIN A, J. STIRNWEIS the study of the stars commands most of his extra-curricular time. Though the Moon Mann is of a rather quiet nature, he makes his presence known through his genial cooperation, good-naturedness, and by his friendly personality. Erwin has been a member of the Rifle Club and of the rifle team since he joined our class. He has developed into a crack shot and one of the mainstays of the shooter team. Preferring to limit his athletic ability to soccer, he has become well-known in athletic circles for his hard play on the field. In his first year of varstiy play he developed into a hard-driving fullback, which earned him his varsity letter.

DOUGLAS LARRY VAN zAND'I' One of the most popular members of the mid-century class, Doug marks everyone at Cranbrook as his friend. He has been a sturdy center on the football team since his Sophomore year, much to the dismay of opposing backs. Doug is a stern advocate of the rough-and-tough western life, and holds several trophies as winner of Western rodeos, a side of his life unknown to many Cranbrook boys. Although a day boy, Doug has resisted the many temptations of outside life, as his excellent job as Towers senior prefect can witness. His plans after college include ranching in the wide open spaces of the YVest.

Wwyh ,J gg,.,.,,'s3':. Wg!! R If you've wondered about those strange RICHARD VANCE WILSON noises coming from a certain Marquis room, don't worry. Itls only Dick trying to get Afghanistan on his home-made radio. It seems surprising that with all of his Ergasterion roles, Dick can Hnd time to pursue his interest in radio, but he has done it. As a speedy track man, Dick has gained points for the Crane stalwarts in several meets. His main claim to fame at Cranbrook, however, is in his work on the stage, for he has held leading parts in every play for the last two years. Ergasterion 5-6, Senior Gift Committee 6. l l Pau' qmewza RICHARD IIIUEBNER ZEDER Dick is one of the best business man agers to serve on the Crane staff in many a year. He has been on honors most of his years at Cranbrook, and has helped keep Fountains high on the honors list. Dick is extremely apt with his hands, and everything he creates, from a model to a map, is a line piece of Work. He is also a skilled photographer, as is witnessed by his position as pho- tographic editor of the BROOK. Day boy Dick has a keen wit and vivid imagina- tion for comical situations, and has managed to be a quiet but popular Senior. He plans to attend the University of Michigan and then follow a career in Engineering. Buoox Staff 6, Crane Staff 6, School Improvement Committee 6, Model Club 3-4-5. JAMES NIELSON W 61 ,.
