CHIP CHILDS Tripping aroundcampus in his Ben Hogan cap and Black Baltimore sneakers, i'Chirpy Childrenl' is the epit- ome of the self-assured and cheerful optimist. Chip is remarkably able to combine this sunny disposition with the underlying substance of a dedicated athlete and a conscientious scholar. Possessed of an able mind in an agile body, Brute,' excels in all he attempts, and he at- tempts much. He will surely be able to grapple with the rigors of life. . JIM CHICKERING Speak softly, and carry a big Nickf, will serve as the motto of our tall, dark champion perfumed-letter collector. Dedicat- ed to serious guitar-playing, fast running, and a full social life- not necessarily in that order-Jim has worked hard to produce the appearance of effortless success. Despite his quiet reserve, the smooth style of his performances has won him considerable attention, and his cheerful, easy-going disposition has served to make friends of his admirers. 5 s CHRIS CLORE Dalrymple's fearless flack has displayed his irrepressible spirit in many legitimate - and some otherwise -endeavors, from limericks to touch football. 'lCruncher shows an ex- terior of animal energy, but inside his curly head lies a fresh creative wit that makes even his bitter moments humorous. His creativity finds more concrete expression in painting and woodcuts. The medium may be uncertain, but Cris will have a message or a massage for the world. 24 WW

DABNEY CARR Ole Dabney can best be explained as a potpourri of sev- eral different tastes and styles. A lighthearted intellectual and psychedelic soul-man, Dabney worries only about such matters as the condition of his dinner jacket. Sporting a wild sense of humor, he can hold others enthralled with his exciting and somewhat ridiculous jokes and stories. Behind his comic facade, however, lies a knowledgeable patron of the arts and high society, and a real Cavalier in the old tradition. ARMFIELD CANNON Quietly hiding plans for a new adventure, a new joke, or even a new girl friend, 4'Pit,' has been known to endure for as long as one hour before letting loose with his high, cackling laugh. Respected by all who know him, Armfield some- times contrasts his humor with devout serious- ness, but to hush his unpredictable whims would be to discontinue the Great Shake song, to throw no more rocks at St. Agnes, chaste windows, and never again to slip through a dark alley near High'sf In conjunction with his quiet, spirited manner, Armfield's potential parallels a loaded . . . well, that's his name, isn't it? LYLES CARR Lyles is a hyperthyroid hypochondriac, an irrepress- ible bundle of nervous energy who has made the common plea, But, sirlll into a notorious trademark. Either on top of the world, or sure that it is coming to a horrible end, he is predictable only not to be dull. Whether crow- ing from a High List perch, or taking refuge from a pop quiz in the Infirmary, whipping a State champion or get- ting beat up by a rat sparring partner, sticking or getting stuck, he will do things in his own way, leading his fas- cinated audience to shout in admiration or derision-but mostly in amazement-c'Oh. Lyles! 23

He has a brilliant mind and an equally brilliant ward- robe, and manages to keep up his marks and his socks with little effort and no garters. From mildly sardonic to jovially piquant, Jim is always in style. PETE DANDRIDGE Petey,' is decidedly the Renaissance Man. A talented char- acter in several fields he has used his extended t t l l . , enure o re- vitalize his outlook on life in general, and Chemistry in par- ticular A h . coac as well as a player, and a thinker as well as a doer, Pete has grown as much in character as he has in size. Once a quiet boy concerned with himself he has evolv d ' t , e in 0 a witty student leader, dedicated to the role of keeping his wild com ' panlons out of as much trouble as possible. He is as congenial as he is versatile. Q Q 2 JESSE DAVIDSON There was once this guy who wanted to make a good impression you see . . . .

Actuall 't ' ' ' ' ' y y, 1 IS Jesse, with his customarily hoarse voice, who has made the good impression on nearly everyone here.
