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.

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.

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.

ROBERT EDWARD KIRK Among those weeping at Bobls graduation E,,f,,,,,,1 F,,,.,,, IV will be the coaches of varsity football, basket- ball and track, for Bob has made a good showing on these squads in each of his years at Cranbrook. Of all these sports, Bob is most prolicient in track, having won a letter each year. Wliile the band and glee club were among his major activities, his interest in medicine showed itself when he rejuvenated the pre-medical club and became its president. But while he may have his serious side, he is also one of the wits of the after- dinner coffee table, able to discuss women and wonder drugs, housemasters and history. It all adds up to one versatile boy.

His two conversions spelled the difference in the 20-19 win over Nichols. This spring as baseball captain he set an admirable example for the many younger ball players with his line play and sparkling hustle. The same spark has been manifest in his presidency of the CU Club and in his duties as Towers prefect. Briefcase on shoulder, Knobby has kept up with his studies with meticulous exactitnde, served on the Church Cabinet, rifle and glee clubs and rounded out a successful six years at Cranbrook.

Ile has been doing it for four years and some day hopes to be switching from the Cranbrook diamond to some big league park. Pictures of his big-league idols beam down on him from the walls of his room. But it has not been all baseball for him. He picked up an All-League soccer tag last fall and has been getting in shape for baseball through the wrestling team. Along with this multiplicity of athletic interests he has been active in half a dozen other activities, being interested in Ergasterian and the press club. His press clubbing last year has earned the presidency for him this year. Soccer 5-6, WVrestling 4-5-G, Baseball 4-5-6.

The only boy in school who could name every University School athlete, his only excuse is that he lives across the street from the school in his native Shaker Heights. Working during the summer as a loader on beverage trucks and as a guide in the wilds of Canada, Pete found the experience paid off during the year. A standout as a tackle on the football team, a defenseman on the hockey team and a double letterwinning shotputter, the label of athlete is an underestimation. His booming bass voice has been heard in glee club and church choir renditions for the past three vcars. Next fall he will be following the steps of his brother to the East and college.
