JIM EVERETT And then along came the 'Daddy Rabbit, singing his Carolina tunes and cryingiout hysterically, I told you numerous times. Behind his darksome visage is the light-hearted boy who goes to sleep on any dorm in any bed he finds vacant, sings in the shower, and bends basketball rims. The Big E is tough enough to tackle the largest opponent, sensitive enough to turn bright red, and thoughtful enough to win many friends. it -tx, .L - 1 I E I? , S is if ff ,tt ts ft gli fl It .3 I .54 I is I5 it Q fi ' 32 ., fkl JIM FITZHUGH As perhaps the most eminent representative of the Red-Headed League, Jim has made huge strides toward proving that hot tempers and carrot tops don't necessari- ly go together. Possessing the rare ability to combine an easy-going nature with conscientious dedication to any of his many responsibilities, from nightly phone calls to Sunday afternoon nature waIks. Versatility is the key- note to BurIy Jim's personality, as he fluctuates between brutal athletic prowess and surprising poetic sensitivity, or perhaps from AP to the High List in suc- cessive grading periods. BILL FLOWERS Once upon a time there was a fuzzy little bear, a roly- poly, jolly, kind, and helpful little bear, respected by the other animals because he tried so hard, and loved by lots of little girl bears because . . . well, he was. Fuzzy ran in the big race for the silver scroll, but on the last lap a naughty Doctor said he had a tragic flaw and could not finish that year. However, by running an extra lap and trying even harder he won his scroll, and everyone was happy. CThe moral, if you can bear it, is that there is a scroll for everyone who tries hard enough.l 27

COLIN EAGLES DICK DULANEY An effortless genius, master of academic success without labor, throughout his high-listed years Dick has been known as a quiet intellectual. His friendliness and sense of humor, although hidden under a layer of re- serve, have, when uncovered, won him close friends. Although he appears so indolent with regard to his own academic pursuits, Dick shows more diligence when he is involved in such group endeavors as soccer and literary societies. Here the dynamic roll of his elliptical shape has managed ingeniously to keep various circles from becoming lopsided. ROWAN DOUGHERTY What could be more exciting than a bull in a chinal shop? How about a wild horse on a crowded dance floor? Our talented Tennessee Walker, with his strange interjections, has become relied on to enliven dances, meetings, and practices. Rowan, with his masterful impersonations and gallops around campus, appears to be a completely spontaneous child of nature, but we have also seen the fascinating, sophis- ticated lNir. Dougherty, devotee of the fine arts- including classical music and painting. He has the refined tastes of the gentleman that he is. Without much help from the English Department, Colin has mastered the art of poetic license. Even though his stories are hard to believe, Colle-Q's bawdy sense of humor and ability to entertain anyone have put him on many mailing lists. Colin's interior decorating talent is only surpassed by his talent for flabbergasting, which reached a pinnacle when he was on a physical fitness kick. Without a doubt, Colin has made a deep impression upon the minds of the faculty and students, and, with a little more effort, should be able to make some of his stories come true. 26

STEVE FOGLEMAN lf you can picture Jack Falstaff stomping down the hall to the tune of the Marine Hymn you will have a fair idea of Fogie Our compact colossus is as well known for his ready laugh as for his military enthusiasm interested In the bizarre and fantastic he has to be somewhat unusual himself his Idea of a summer resort is Parris Island. Ex- uberant or serious depending on the occasion Steve has always given that little extra beyond what was expected of him and has broken through many stronger obstacles than Cinder blocks. The Viet Cong had better negotiate before it's too late. TED FOOTE Marked by a refreshing lack of pretense, Ted is a para- doxical combination of savoir-faire and naivete. With the diversity of an affable grizzly bear, he is equally adept at forearm smashes and mental gymnastics. Never one to sit idly by, Ted wouldn't hesitate to go around the world for a penknife. Flashing a ready smile, and with a heart- ening word for everyone, Ted diplomatically handles every situation. As the only boy ever to be threatened with the firing squad on Hoxton Field, he nevertheless maintains his unruffled disposition. ALEX FRASER I All the E.H.S. world is a stage to Alex, on which he has successfully played a number of roles. Foremost, he has acted as an actor, with a proper Thespian's appreciation of his own talents. Then, he has swum into prominence as a water-polo star of the soccer team. There have been some good bit parts as an intellectual. Finally, he has had to sustain the character of an adult, good-naturedly putting up with the inanities of his juvenile companions. Beneath the masks is the real Alex, the earnest striver who has managed to maintain his individuality in the face of mass conformity. 28 - . ,ma-ff ill, Fil i E a l E
