Activities Track 4 Lab Technician 3, 4 Science Club 4 --r' l i Oli Mr. Doe. Nineteen Wally adds the international flavor to the soup, which is our class. He can speak German fluently, having spent two years over there, and his abilities in other languages are well known. He joined our ranks in the tenth grade and since then has proved a welcome addition. Wally is quiet and unassuming, but after being around him for a little while you begin to realize that Wally has an excellent under- standing of almost any subject. From languages to mathematics and from physics to chemistry can be brought forth at almost any given time by Wally in a class discussion on any subject to give it the much needed punch. Wally has the balanced personality that can laugh at anything that is humorous but yet he has the tenacity that makes him finish any task that he starts. This shows that Wally has the per- sonality that is necessary for success in this complex world of ours.

If you ever had occasion to wander into the lab at Country Day you might have found a rather tall fellow with horn-rimmed glasses working diligently. This would have to be Arthur Erhard, or, as he is known, '4Art.', Art can always be found in the lab either calculating Young's modulus by experimenta- tion or finding the reciprocal of the trig functions to the base e , Art and his constant companion, his slide rule, are usually to be found at similar tasks. He is the brain', of the class and is always answering the questions which have the rest of us stumped. But he has done more than add his in- tellectual qualitiesg Art has never failed to voice his witty comment at the opportune time. He has been on the Honor Society many times, worked on the Yellow Jacket, was secretary of the Prefect Board, and was elected editor of this yearls Blue and Gold. Art has chosen physics as his preference for a profession and we know that his abilities will prove this to be a wise choice. We are sure that Art will go far at the University of Michigan where he plans to go. Eighteen Activities Golf 4 Blue and Gold - Editor 4 Yellow Jacket 4 Prefect Board 4 D wuts BREAK Tennis anyone?

Anyone entering Country Day's room 12 is likely to see a rather stout, not too bad looking, chap slouched over his book of Emerson's Essays trying to figure out who said what, and why. This would be a newcomer's first introduction to Bob Foss. Fearless, as he is called in lighter moments, is the kind of person no school can do without, stout as shown by his being a very good tackle on the Country Day Eleven, witty, as shown by his ap- preciation of a good joke, his stocking cap, and his over all disposition, and aggressive by his being head of photography for the Blue and Gold and sports editor for the Yellow Jacket. But in a larger sense he is the back bone of our class. He helps when help is needed, he is a part of almost every activity, yet still finds time for the elbow grease necessary to understand Emerson, Newton, and Kant. Bob will be a helpful and rewarding addition to Albion and we feel he will be a success in his chosen field of chemistry.
