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.

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.

' YLORD With a roar, a cloud of smoke, and the squeal of tires, the big, beautiful, red, modified Mercury comes to a graceful halt and out slips Johnny Gay- lord. Johnny's main distinction, interest, and love is his car, be it rain, snow, or sleet the car will be washed, dried, and polished by Johnny himself. Johnny's abilities in other fields, besides autody- namics, are shown by his being circulation man- ager for the Yellow Jacket, a singer with the Glee Club, and his participation in track and baseball. Johnny has always been at odds with his books but he has had enough intestinal fortitude to, not only graduate, but also to win the esteem and respect of his teachers throughout the school. Johnny plans to go to Nichols Academy to study business administration, and we are certain he will be a success with his work. Twenty-one
