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 , ,

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 --

61065 FPOIQAQCV Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Washington, D. C. June 5, 1967 Dear Mr. Shaw: In compliance with your request for information concerning the whereabouts of the graduates of the class of 1954, this ofiice sent Special Agent William Bagley on a round-the- world hunt for information. Following is the report that he submitted. I began my search for the graduates of the class of '54 by questioning Dick Gooel in his spacious Manhattan office. Dick had risen from an assistant mixer in an obscure paint factory to become the undisputed king of the paint industry. Dick gave me a list of places where I might find the people that I was looking for. I thanked Dick and eagerly rushed to the airport to board a plane for Mexico City, the first place on my list. It was no surprise to learn that the pilot of our plane was Captain Jay Jacobs. Jacobs had lost his Civil Air Patrol job after he was caught dropping napalm bombs on Detroit Country Day School. Jay had received the job on the personal recommendation of Mr. Shaw who said that Jacobs would go far, and the farther away he went, the better. Landing in Mexico City, I hurried to the Sandler Hand Laundry to question Marshal Sandler. His servant told me that Marshal had graduated from the University of Mexico with highest honors in Spanish. The servant went on to tell me that Marshal was staying at a place called Green's in Panama, while preparing for the Pan-American Road Race. I later found out from the police that the Sandler Laundry was a front for a gang of black marketeers and that Marshal had fied to Panama in order to avoid prosecution. The next stop on my list was London. There I found Dick Dickman, the world's champion typist. He was lecturing to a group of bored Oxford freshmen on the history of the typewriter. Asked what he attributed his success to, Dickman replied: I owe it all to carriage return and paper insertion drill. Across the Channel at the Hague, I located two Country Day grads. Justices Webster and Schlussel were presiding over an important session of the International Court of Justice. The case before the court dealt with a shipment of obscene literature consigned to the Silver Shack in Detroit. This literature had been confiscated by Customs' officials. Before handing down a decision, both judges decided that they should personally study the questioned books. Days later Justice Webster returned to announce that his study was not yet completed and also that Justice Schlussel had ordered the court adjourned until next year. It was from a retired English teacher that I learned the whereabouts of Bill McCoy. With a bottle of wine in one hand and a street map in the other hand, the ex-teacher led me thru the alleys of Paris shouting, Vive la France, Boy! and, On to Columbia! We finally reached the office of the noted psychiatrist Dr. Wofgang McCoy, B.S. and F.S. Instructing me to lie down on his couch, Dr. McCoy told me that I was crazy and that my sore feet were obviously due to a childhood frustration. He then presented me with a bill for one hundred dollars. As I paid him, I made a mental note to report him to the AMA and the Better Business Bureau.
