DABN EY CARR I With a typically wry smile and a wink on his bemused face, our Roanoke aristocrat calmly watches as another LUCIUS CLAY Wildman Tink, masked avenger of the silent study hall, sports an outlook totally unlike that of anyone else. He is an intellectual war-lover and an admirer of the great captains, and tries to organize his life with appropriate military precisiong however, his lively imagination is con- stantly distracting him into wilder and wilder adventures and antics, especially during the prescribed hours for serious toil. The future almost certainly holds a vehicle of powerfor him, but no one can predict whether it will be a staff car or a Batmobile. of his listeners falls victim to his humor. Always eager for a laugh, Dabney nevertheless shows a deep concern for the feelings of others. Happiest when enthroned near his titanic golden gasser stack, the range of J.D. the D.J.'s conversation is as rich and varied as his refined connoisseur's tastes. With the knowing assurance of his venerable ancestors, Dabney's place in his tribal dynasty is assured. STEVE CLEMENT Why are you losing your hair? Worry. What are you worried about? Losin' m'hair. That's Steve, the laconically humorous chief postal clerk. ..-,.s.,,iW..,tsvis,s,-tail..,si.i,st,all.ii,.il.iilim ,.., vf--'7 A7,,m.fw,,i.,..ix:.urtw I' fwamsnmuuuaxuuuxu If E.H.S. were a penitentiary iAll rightlj, he'd be a trusty, if it were a republic he'd be a Senatorg he is the kind of person who seems automatically to be trusted with responsibility, by superiors or equals. Efficient as he is in his many duties, Steve is just as effective in pursuit of a good time. ln short, our red-headed Dan-town patriot is one of those rare souls who can both run with the hares and hunt with the hounds. 24

CHARLES BRAY Our boy is a prime example of the smooth operator who has already done very casually the things that most of us would like to imagine ourselves doing later. Living life as if it were ending without him, Sugar Bear some- how manages to burn his candle at both ends. Well- known for his tastes in art, music, women, and mono- grammed workshirts, Charlie has shown his capabilities not only with his lips but in his lifeg his rose-colored glasses are much too strong for most of his more reserved fellows. DAVE BURT Casually pushing back his artistically drooping locks, Dave reveals a brilliance of intellect and sophis- tication of taste remarkably at variance with his relaxed and bucolic manner. With a jovial smile as the outward and risible sign of his inward and perpetual regard for others, he has established himself as a con- fessor to the few and a counselor to the many. Neither putting his shoulder to the Great Wheel of E.H.S. existence, nor attempting to obstruct its progress, The Gopher is content to observe with perspicuity and amiable detatchment the stately round that will at last produce his diploma. BILL CAN BY ,Although Wild Bill's habitual expression is that of someone who has just missed a gimme putt, he has a well-developed sense of humor, which is on tap for the benefit of close friends. This concealment of his inner feelings seems typical of Bill's somewhat in- scrutable approach to E.H.S. society. Like the Tar Baby, he just says nothing, until people forget he is presentg then suddenly there is a molasses-jug giggle, and the whole gathering breaks up. The rare quality of thinking before speaking has brought Bill little fame, but considerable respect.

CHARLES COPPAGE Ftelentlessly agrarian in taste and manners, Charlie bustles about in his red DeMolay blazer, intent on mys- terious errands of his own. Ever cheerful, ever con- cerned for and with the antics of his fellow man, he has emerged as a self-appointed ambassador to the opposite sex and as a raconteur of graphic humor. Allowing no impediment to deter him from having his say, he de- mands to be heard for his staunchly conservative and patriotic causes, and he has shown himself to be worth listening to. BUDDY CRINER Add an Aw raight and a little mock incredulity to a sensitive -young man and you might end up with a top banana like Mr. Criner. Our urbane representative of Texas Across the River is always searching for another Chesterfield. His interest in reform has produced his fa- vorite political maxim: Stamp our poverty-stamp out the poor. Because of the keen mind that lives under his flaxen thatch, Buddy often manages to end a good bull session with a few well-placed truths, yet our amiable Senor listens to all sides, and his reassuring advice mirrors the quiet confidence of his character. PETE DANDBIDGE Although he has grown several inches, Pete has retained the deceptively fragile and innocuous appear- ance of his first year. Physically unscathed by the assaults of small gorillas on the mat or big ones on the lacrosse field, he can slash more deeply with one sarcas- tic Yeahl than lesser wits with a thesaurus of insults. He has sought neither to gain popularity nor to raise an- tagonisms, but has shown equal sincerity in his likes and dislikes. Whether wrestling with Latin or discussing the student body over an empty wastebasket, Pete remains a model of complete candor.
