WILLIAM ROBERT VANDERKLOOT ACTIVITIES Football 2, 3, 4 Glee Club 4 Dramatics 1, 2, 3 Debating 2, 3, 4 Prefect Pres. 4 Yellow jacket 3 Blue and Gold 4 D-Club Sec. 3, 4 Class Sec. 2, 3, 4 To say that Bill is active in all the functions of the school is the gross understatement of the year. For during his six years at C.D., there is hardly an extra-curricular in which Bill has not attempted to participate. Bill has played Varsity football for the past couple of seasons and very capably held down a tackle slot. Probably the most note- worthy event of Bill's high school career, was his participation in the state championship debate. It is very doubtful that without Bill's great work the championship could have come to rest at C.D. Bill's great speaking ability also earned him the Extemporaneous Speaking Award in his sophomore year. Bill also did much work in dramatics, and during his junior year he won the award for excellence in dramatics. During his senior year, Bill was honored by being elected president of the Board of Prefects. However, Bill does not neglect his studies as shown by his visits to the Honor Society. Bill has not made any definite plans for the future, but we are quite sure that Bill will be successful in his chosen field. Very convincing That's where our money is going 24 --

BRUCE MICHAEL SCHLUSSEL ACTIVITIES Durfee High School 1 Football 3, 4 Basketball 3 Captain 4 Baseball 2, 3 Track 2, 3 D-Club Pres. 3, 4 Class Pres. 3, 4 Popularity plus is the best way to describe Bruce, for during his three years at Country Day he has become one of the best liked members of the senior class. Bruce has served the class in the capacity of President for the past two years, and during that same period he has also been the President of the Varsity letter club. As Flooreleader and Captain of the basketball team he provided the opposition with some tense moments. Bruce very ably held down the second base job on the baseball team, while devoting much time to the track team. As far as Bruce went with foot- ball-which wasn't too far 7 he played defensive halfback where he will be long remembered for his vicious necktie tackles. The lone hobby of Bruce seems to be women, a field in which the fairer sex wishes Bruce would take a more active interest. Bruce plans to study law, but has not definitely decided where he will go to college. With his well-rounded background, Bruce's future can hardly be anything but bright. Two cent error So what 23 '

ROBERT TRICE WEBSTER ACTIVITIES Football 2, 3 Captain 4 Basketball 3, 4 Track 2, 3 Golf 4 Dramatics 1, 2, 3 Prefect 4 Honor Society 4 D-Club 3, 4 Class Officer 1, 2, 3 l an Probably Bob's two most significant achievements in the student life at Country Day are athletics and dramatics. In football, Bob has been a stellar performer, holding down a position as a regular since his sophomore year. He was twice selected by the Detroit Times for the tackle slot of the all-star team for our league. His ability and judgement on the field were recognized by his team-mates who selected him as one of their co-captains for the past season. Bob has held an important role in every school play since his freshman year. Last year his efforts were excellent enough to win for him the dramatic award. Although Bob rhas not been a member of the Honor Society, he has been an occasional visitor and his scholarship is commendable. This is not only our opinion, but also that of the University of Michigan, where Bob will start in pre-law in September. Needless to say, we think he'll do well. 4:30 p.m. Chief electrician , ,
