JEFF GAYLE Although neither hard, cold, nor particularly brilliant, Jeff can be pictured as a diamond, with the light of each persons knowledge of him reflecting a different facet of his personality. Some see him as the teammate they de- pend upon, some as the genial impresario of the waiters' table, and some as the terror ofthe chaperones. All, how- ever, can agree on the soft-spoken courtesy, the conta- gious laugh, and the refreshingly candid outlook of life that make the Pooh such good company for anyone. A man for all seasons, Jeff-once more like a diamond- is highly valued. CHUCK GILCHRIST Genially sauntering along, furled in his white London Fog, patting the shutter of his favorite Nikon, Charmin' Chuckl' is the epitome of the darkroom dude. He is proba- bly on his way to another confrontation with the estab- lishment, to strike a Dylan-style blow against pomp, conformity, and the high cost of haircuts. Since his strictures are delivered with a smile, they are generally well received. However, real satisfaction must await the day when our Cyrano, gingerly mounted on his Harley Hog, roars off to freedom. BILL GRAY n Although he has been not exactly quiet about his aims and aspirations, Bill has achieved results to match the great effort that he has put into the many important tasks required by his position. The Phantom Sprinter has taken the time from his school responsibilities to master a few other tasks, such as the arts of tackling, putting the shot, and handling his woman. An avid discusser, W.C. has found something to say to everybody. including J.W.H., about everything, including why ducks fly South. Truly, considering all that Bill has done for the school, the least he deserves on parting is an elegy.

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

PETER HOWELL School Spirits? He'p y'self, he'p y'self. With his coffee-stained waiters jacket and mussed-up orange hair, Pete adds a touch of color to the drab breakfast scene. Hisrierky movement is unexpected in a tennis fanatic, while his easy-going attitude toward life reflects his affirmation of the cool. Pete, with his sometimes boisterous humor, often clips into the affair of others, but with a much needed mirth. The Shuford Terror can be serious-in his carefree way-when the occasion requires, but his bouncy style is all his own, and it is what he will be remembered for. .- .,,.,,,.,.

Palomino presides here, reprimands there, sculptures smiling faces everywhere, and settles arguments with such statements as The Nose knows. Brash and boisterous one minute, humbly repentant the next, John has made himself alternately insufferable and irresistible-in any case, irreplaceable. Easy-talking, slow-walking John leaves not with a whimper, but with a whinny and a wink. WREN HUDGINS Blessed with an attitude bordering on the incurably romantic, Wren is always ready to flash a toothy grin to show his enthusiasm for any project involving a possibil- ity of fun. As a connoisseur of French music and art, not to mention vintage raisin bread, Wren has taken on a dis- tinctly Gallic air. With the snow-darkened face of a skier, the adventuring spirit of a motorcyclist, and the driving curiosity of an intellectual, Wren certainly has possibili- ties as a Renaissance man.
