YW? as bmi' Qi tk 55 if m,'if-Kiwi' fgwi 7? st :S E wi s as SWAN HM CROWELL Possessing a sneer without peer, on a campus where sneering is something of a fine art, J.C., no matter how he tries to be bitter, cannot help drop- ping a smile every thirty seconds-possibly because his is an essentially friendly and tolerant nature. 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 . . . . Thus, Jesse relates his immortal joke, a joke which he tells almost twice a da . Actuall 't ' ' ' ' ' y y, 1 IS Jesse, with his customarily hoarse voice, who has made the good impression on nearly everyone here. A capable performer in all fields, Trusty Calmostl has earned the respect of those who are still laughing at his off-beat humor. The Postmaster-General, ilesse rules his office as a branch of the Federal Government, and not a . W. . . . ounge it such a combination of humor, authority, and respect as he has displayed, Jesse is destined to put Bedford on the map. 25

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

GRIF DODSON- Peering quizzically from under his seldom- cut, straw-colored forelock, Grif has the expression of a friendly chipmunk-alert, inquisitive, and very much interested in any activity that is going on. Never one to put himself forward, and capable of long silences, he has nevertheless made himself respected for his ability to work hard and efficiently at every- thing-except studies-and well liked for his cheer- P ever the project, the Gripperf' is always ready to bear a hand. GEDDES DOWLINC When Prince Alberta, mahatma of the squatty body gang, rounds the corner, trilling his usual affectionate c'You second-hand fatheadf' or the more penetrating c'C,mon, you guys, he is probably on a mis- sion involving his latest money-making scheme. Geddes has preserv- ed a refreshingly illogical outlook on the world which makes associa- tion with 'iBig a truly confusing experience. Geddes's diligent, level-headed approach to his responsibilities makes him a valuable addition to any society. STEVE FITTS As a freshman Elijah,,' the bow-legged Alabaman, seemed hardly the material for a respected and popular school leader. But, despite his reserved and quiet air, Steve has endeared himself to his schoolmates through his unselfishness, warm con- geniality, and unexpected flashes of wit. By dint of hard work and dedication, this. deceptively unspectacular farm boy has developed his hidden leadership qualities, athletic prowess, and scholastic ability to become a well rounded leaderg but to his closest friends he will always be i'Skillet. ful dis osition and willingness to be helpful.
