And they hit the nail on the head. jovial and wise-cracking Screecher,, revels in the bull session where his antics are priceless. Until this year Gordie was but a trumpeter in the band. 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. Next fall he will transfer from Cran- brook's Stevens dormitory to the halls of Babson. Track 6, Foreign Club 5-G, United WVorld Federalists -4-5-6. Ergasterian 3-4, Debating 5, Store Committee 6.

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. Known for his drole sense of humor and happy-go-lucky attitude, Dick was a standout in Entered Form V the class. Cabinet 6.

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. Clee Club 5-6, Forsign Club 'S PI'E'S1lltI'li 6 GEORGE HAROLD ROEHM Ccorgt is one of thc few boys who Emm-fl Form 1 would rather stand out of the spotlight and quietly do his job. 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.

In his three years at Cranbrook Jan has been a JAN WINN SIMPSON leader in nearly every field. Politically speaking, E,,,,,m1 Fam, IV he led his junior class and was senior prefect of Marquis this year. Also leading the class scholastically in the junior year, it was no surprise that the word honors was usually found after his name on the weekly yellow sheet. In the realm of outside activities, he was chairman of UWF, as well as the vice-president of Ergasterian, where he has played several leads. A inulti-letter winner, his main sports have been football, where he was voted All-League end, track, where he has pounded the cinders with amazing rapidity, and basketball. Amherst is his goal next fall, barring any action from Uncle Sam. Calesburg's loss has been Cranbrook,s gain.

JOHN WRAY STEGGALI, Ever since one of the less athletic faculty Entered Fgml 11 pitched a baseball into Stegis nose, he has H been suffering under the moniker, Dog- iacef' But behind this gentle ribbing lies the liking of students for one of the more silent of their number. No one would call john quiet, though. He loves horseplay and is known as the one boy who can make faces behind Whitingis back without Pete knowing about it. Athletically he is rough, on the soccer Held, the hockey rink or on the track. In both of the latter sports he has been one of the leading members of the team, captaining the sun worshippers and leading the Rev's icemen in goals scored.

Not a front runner in the sense that everything he did was seen by others, he stuck to his job as chairman of the lost and found committee. Not too quick on the trigger in all of his classes, he kept up with the rest of the boys and became known for his drawling uwliaaatlw After supper he might have well been found parked on a common room couch engrossed in the newspaper, always ready to quote the route to Omaha or the heights of the hills and lminmocks around Gettysburg.

RALPH THOMAS' JR, One of the most popular members of the class, E,,tc,,l,d 1.-f,,mV fair-haired Ralph managed to get into multi- farious activities during the two years that he spent at Cranbrook. In the fall he was active in varsity football. In the winter it was varsity basketball and in the spring he cleared the courts for a fast game of tennis. Marquis prefect Thomas had more than a Hair for leadership, he was advisor to and confidante of underformers on his Hoor, and knew when to clamp down. Next fall Ralph plans to ship his well-tailored wardrobe to Washington and Lee and then take in some of the southern sunshine.
