One of the 'gold guardf jack can relate JOHN PALMER MANNING tales of the good old days for anyone who E,,,m,,1 1.-,,,,,, I will listen. And he should know. Frorn his days in the lower school to his senior year he has been an outstanding athlete. Lettering in baseball in his sophomore year he has followed the diamond sport through summer American Legion ball and spring vacation trips. Football letter- man and hockey goalie, his athletic interests carried him into the veepis post in the CU Club. A friendly, curly-haired little guy with a wide grin, he plans to make WVashington and Lee, a stop-off on the spring baseball trip, his stopping place next fall. Football 6, Baseball 4-5-6, Hockey G.

RICARDO NUNEZ Rotund Rick looks like fl genuine product of one of 15,,,,,,,1 FWD, V llavana's more select social circles, having a phv- sique that closely resembles a barrel of Puerto Rican rum. But mention anything about the Puerto Ricans to Rick and you're likely to undergo a half-hour of ear-splitting invectives. But he is more often mild than callous, especially when comfortably settled in a smoking room chair. or watch- ing a stack of ,45's melt down on his record changer. Never one to miss a party, dance or afternoon siesta, he was one of the boysv in the bull sessions. Some of his more drole bits of humor have developed from his observations of life across the lake. Far from being a content with his casual existence, future lawyer Rick wants to expand intellectually even more at his home University of Havana in the fall. No one can be around Paul for long without PAUL L, PENFIELD, JR, realizing one of two things: either radio is Empmd F,,,.,,, 111 the only hope of American civilization or all masters who make Paul take off his yellow radio-equipped hat should be doomed to a den of silence. Amazing the boys in physics class with his daily demon- strations of new and unplumhed scientific truths, he has been a natural for the Radio Club, which rewarded him with the presidency after a three-year mem- bership. Another of the laughing dayboy tribe, Paul has proved himself capable in the classroom and on the work program. College for him means just one big chance for scientific research. If Cranbrook is any indication, he should make a go of it. Common Room Committee fi. lladio Club Il. President 6. Cabin Committee fi.

Quiet, yet observant and competent, be enjoys watching passing events serenely and draw- ing his own conclusions. George is, however, anything but backward. He de- lights in a friendly, serious conversation and often volunteers his views. He was one of the football players during the fall and, possessing a good physique, naturally likes athletics. Rifle club and Erg have also taken up part of his energies. Whether he enjoys a good joke or not, he often comes out with a slv remark which only be and the instructor are able to understand. Most likely only his classmates will remember George, but he would have it that wav, for he knows what he wants and where he is headed. 4 Lost and Found Committee 6, Clee Club 5-6, Rifle Club 2-Fl-4-5-6.

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.

Outstanding on the sports scene since his JOHN D, A, KNOBLOCK Lower School days, Knobby put his edu- E,,,,.,.,.,1 Fam, I cated toe to good use this year booting vital extra points on the gridiron. 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.

But last fall he took over and converted one of CI'tll1lJl'U0k,S lesser activities into a smooth-functioning, highly respected organization. In this work Gordie has left his mark. One of the harder working seniors, he has played an important part in running local social life, going outside of the usual channels to give the students something above the norm. But he will always be remembered as one of the fixtures in the Palmers' apartment and as one of Cranbrook's foremost senior contributors.

Dick has the type of friendliness that RICHARD MARTIN SAFFIR people cherish-he is, as the saying gmmml Fmm 111 goes, quiet and unassuming. Ile would almost go unnoticed about his duties as a member of Erg, the debating team or the Foreign Club, unnoticed, that is, until someone wants his help. During the latter half of his four year stay Dick put himself on the rosters of the United World Federalists, the store committee and varsity track as a manager. Apart from all of this, he plans to go into business. He gained experience last summer working in a Detroit sporting goods store.

St. Louis' gift to women, he also did well in the social world. A church cabinet member, his proudest boast was that he was on the worship committeef, Perpetually dressed in a rep stripe tie and gray flannel suit, he was once mistaken for a successful alumnus by a mistaken faculty wife.
