DONALD PAUL FRIEDRICH One of Don's many claims to fame is Entcml Form 1 knowing all the Bloomfield Hills police by their first name. Another is his quiet, friendly and dependable character. His arrival at school each day was usually quite an event, with a cloud of dust for spray of slushl and a few throaty roars from his souped-up Ford. But around Cranbrook Don settled down, working hard in the model and rifle clubs and studying enough to keep his marks up. But this year he has come to know Cranbrook all too well, having started at Brookside in the Hrst grade. Nevertheless Cranbrookis boarders had not gotten to know Donnie well enough to appreciate his friendliness and unassumed per- sonality. Next fall at State he will exercise his brain through the courtesy of an NROTC scholarship. Long, lanky and Bill Brown's best NORMAN WINSLOW GABEL friend, Norm is at his best over a cup E,,,m.d F,,,.,,, 111 of Miss Harwoodis after dinner brown brew with a copy of the Detroit News in his hand. A study of solitude in a crowd, smoking committeeman Gabel can be found in the smoking room after meals, experimenting with every type of hay burner except an Indian peace pipe. With activities that range from the camera club to UWF, and an occas- sional hand of bridge in his bay-windowed Stevens room, he has been a buddv to some, a friend to many and a welcome fellow in any group.

But what makes him even more of .in individualist are his exceptional marks Can innovation of recent yearsl and his innate ability to overcome people by argument. His physical strength helped the football team last fall when he played in the fullback spot. In other sports a.nd most activities the Baron displays his unique, heedless attitude that sets him aside from the rest. But when heis with the boys in the smoking room or lounging at faculty-senior coffee, his sense of luunor and story-telling knack appear. Still the individualist, the Baron has decided not to go to college but go back home and raise cattle. Ed is reserved, but everyone likes EDWARD RAWSON GODFREY and respects him for his hard work, E,m,,,t.,l ppm, IV determination and self-developed ability. Easy Edis finesse with the basketball this year was wholly due to his efforts during the summer on an improvised backboard out in a field. This sort of drive has shown up everywhere in his Cranbrook career, in his academic life as well as in cross country and track. As a dayboy, Easy's contribution to school life is harder to see, but he has toiled on the not-too-glorified Lost and Found Committee and has stretched his 6,50 frame over the mats in the rifle range. Next fall Ed will be ducking through the doors of U. of M. Lost and Found Committee 6. Cross-Country 5, Basketball 6, C Club 5-6, Rifle Club 4-5-6.

Quiet and capable, Dick has never RICHARD MILLIS FITZGERALD tried to become the center of at- Entcrr'zlForm1 traction. Academically sufficient, he has worked hard throughout his six year stay at Cranbrook. A backlield whiz as a freshman, he matured through the IV and varsity ranks, winning his letter in his senior football season. A Hash and dash man on the gridiron, his swivel- hipping raised the spectators out of their seats several times this year. One of the more flashy dayboy drivers, he quit the bus routine last year and has been weaving his way to school in a green Pontiac ever since. After another summer at the Pontiac Daily Press, Fitz will enter Arizona in the fall. Football 6, Lost and Found Committee 6, Rifle Club 2-3-4-5-6. THOMAS CLYDE FORD Be happy-go-lucky and work like a dog E,,tm,d Form V seems to have been Tomis motto in his two years under the tower. With a smile for everyone and a good-natured jest now and then, he has plowed through his work with a fire that makes sure of line results. Although not what the Admiral would call a cross carrierf' Tom nevertheless put himself into the 4-5:30 setup in JV football and intramural. He has survived Uncle Hubie's class where he took the usual beating along with the rest of his comrades, but during his spare time he has especially enjoyed shooting it with his senior buddies. Still smiling and giving the good word, Tom leaves Cranbrook with a feeling of having accomplished and won part of his educational battle. School Improvement Committee 6, Rifle Club 6. Wbtn Ray smllts, which is quite often, PETER his eyes can hardly be seen. But he takes far from a narrow view of school life. Graduating from the IV, Ray put his tenacity to work in the varsity line last fall. Socialitcs could place some of the laurals for a successful year around his neck, because Rayis work on the Social Committee turned up new ideas at every meeting. And his studies failed to suffer, for he picked up a writing award from the Detroit News during his junior year. One of the Admiral's stalwarts, he is not above a little clowning around now and then. But when it came to laying down points in the disciplinary meeting, justice was stamped out with a firm hand. About the highest compliment that could be paid to any- body could be said of Ray-be is just the kind of a guy you like to have around.

FRITZ CARLETON FRIDAY As Cr lnbrooks twenty first be ld prefect E,,,c,Ud F,,,,,, HI Fritz was in the spotlight during the year. He stood up under the test and set an example for the rest of the seniors to follow. Although his athletic career was stopped short by a knee injury, he became the successful football manager. Early a member of extra-curricular activities, he ranks as the classmate with the longest membership in the glee club and consequently, the church choir. Booming out the announcements at lunch and supper, be habitually lowered his voice to bellow across the campus and put his unassuming manner to work making guests feel at home. His final position should be high on the ladder of success. Head Prefect 6, Football 6, C Club 6, Glee Club F3-4-5-6, Fiiie Club 4-5, Foreign Club Cassociate memberl 5-6, Junior Class Secretary 5.

john has the admirable characteristic JOHN MARSHALL HARLAN of sticking with any job until its com- E,,,m,,1 Form II pletion, whether he is carrying out an assignment on the gridiron or plotting a proof in Uncle Ilubieis CAST class. When he is not whizzing around the hills and dales of beautiful Bloomfield Hills and neighboring Birmingham in his very green Henry 1, john will most likely be found taking pictures around the school. For this husky dayboy and his Craphlex have become a regular feature in Crane captions. With the electrical business blinking in his future, john will continue to work hard at Michigan next year looking toward an engineering degree.

Nobody exemplifies this E,m,m1F,,,,,, V school motto more than Chris, whose ready laugh has become his trade-mark since he entered in the junior year. Along with maintaining a high scholastic average, his writing brought him five major prizes in the Detroit News scholastic writing contest in his junior year. In the fall he led the cross country team in all its meets in his First year out for the sport. In the Winter he led the special English class with his dissertation on VVordsworth and Coleridge. In the spring he ran the mile on the track team, and worked with Ergasterian and on the Crane, where he was a staff writer. A Lower School prefectship added slightly to the curvature of his spine, but as anyone of the little rascals will tell you, he did a great job.

A ltadtr in Ins class since his first form WILLIAM RAMSAY JAMES days, dayboy Bill capped his Cranbrook E,,,m,,l F,,,,,, I career this year as varsity basketball captain and senior prefect of Towers. Activity-minded, he has been a Crane staffer since the first form and a Bnooic staffer in his sixth. Ile was associate editor of both publications this year. Elected to the Church Cabinet during his junior year, he contributed during the after-church meetings. Scholastically, he led the class three years running and has been at the top of his house list as long as anyone can remember. And he took Cranbrook seriously, Working con- scientiously toward a better school. To top it all off, he is not above lending a helping hand to the younger boys and keeping them out of trouble. A great fellow, his absence will be felt in the years to come.

From Dayton, Ohio, where he played football and picked up the Ohio bug of motor mania, he brought that winning smile and carefree attitude. Majoring in football in the fall, captain Kimes plunged his way through the line time and time again during the University School game that now stands as one of the feats of the athletic year. A typical scene in his room might bc a few of the uninitiated thumbing through copies of Motor or Cycle with the blaring brass of Dixieland pouring from the vic.
