FRANK HART Hiii therein coos Frank in his most dulcet tone, thus beginning another phone filibuster in the grand old Southern tradition. In his capacity as liaison man and matchmaker to the area girls, schools, Sweet Tarts' chief assets are a perfectly enunciated y'all and an adeptness 1n conversation equal to his adeptness in high-jumping. A triennial fixture of the schoolroom, Frank has striven diligently to surpass the Centleman's Cf' but remains too much a gentleman to do so. BUCKY GUMP They call him Sheriff,,' but he is really that familiar TV figure the deputy, the loyal sidekick whose quaint, slightly homespun character serves to heighten the heroic qualities of his chief. How- ever, this isn't Dodge City, and Buck is much more than a foil. His positive attitude and enthusiastic effort have been evident in all of his many activities, and his zeal for enforcing the rules is only one mani- festation of his unquenchable school spirit. Bucky's Tennessee origins are obvious, but no more so than his amiability, his dedication, and his love for E.H.S. JOE HATCH Wandering groggily on his rounds with head cocked pensively to one side and hair unkempt, Joe seems oblivious to the cares of the world. Within this deceptively shabby facade lurks the mind of a devoted scholar of the fine arts-poetry, music, literature, and clas- sical languages. Whether composing a Shakespearean Sonnet, a pointed editorial, or the school hymn, Ioe's literary talent flashes brilliantly through the haze of disorganization which surrounds him. Amid the strain of numerous extracurricular activities, Joe has managed to maintain his buoyant, entertaining personalityg his only real enemy has been Morpheus. 28

HM FITZHUGH As the only student to live legally in two rooms at the same time, and as the campusis only reptile representa- tive, Jim is unique in other areas as well. Close examina- tion of the animated pool cue with the Arkansas drawl will reveal an accomplished pianist who, as a mighty pythonf' has lived up to his nickname. Quiet and con- servative, Jim has persevered through the tribulation of chapel and chemistry, but will never be happy without his Memorial Radio and his electric blanket. JIM GILLIAM After completing his Texaco Scholarship tenure abroad im 'ctook courage and , J to the barbaric Philistines of the High School, and, more especially, the cavern of his darkroom. Horace Toadl' has done his best to force the United States to return to her mother country, but as yet can only claim Mr. Shaw as an adherent. Not even Toad's'l English tea sessions with the au- thor ofthe E.R.B. have pushed him through Fourth English, as he cannot adapt to American Literature. With derby, Cham- berlain umbrella, British passport, and Punch prominent, Horace T. will stroll out the gate humming God Save the Queenf, JOHN GOODWIN Although John has viewed the changing of many sea- sons onthe Hill, he amazingly remains inconspicuous to those who do not have the pleasure of knowing him. Per- haps his greatest assets are his feet, which boot extra points in the fall, save goals in the winter and spring, and propel him throught the back 40M in pursuit of quail and his career-that of being a wildlife conservationist. johnls quiet nature abruptly ceases when he steps on the athletic field, and his abilities as a leader are invaluable to the school. His loyalty and complete unselfishness have been manifest in all that he has undertaken.

CARRINCTON HERBERT Carrington has done exceedingly well in clearing the hurdles of E.H.S. life, although his time has been a little slow. The King has been able to apply the same wry humor to the fulfillment of his many duties that he displayed in his many undergraduate years. Be- cause of his outstanding leadership, his record number of letters from a Special-K, and his astounding salesmanship of Pink Pearls and protein pills, 'lCare', has done a great deal to shape the era of school history into which he has fallen. In view of his past, his future is anything but Gloomy',. FRASER HUBBARD Ole 3-speed is often seen in low, moping lazily along in a mood of melancholy indifference to the world. How- ever, turn on the pressure, make a demand, and the latent horsepower begins to show. Given time to warm up his wits, he can handle any question in the faculty arsenal, and match insults with the cuttingest. Frequently in the center of the action, because he has been unable to find a way out, he is most dangerous in a fourth-and-one sit- uation. With his sleepy exterior and potent internal ca- pacities, Fraser is well equipped to be the spy who came in from being out to lunch. PAYNE HINDSLEY Hal Ha! Yeah! exclaims the suave redhead for the hun- dreth time, exploring some new aspect of his Pepsi generation. Payne is a keen observer, whose gift for original phraseology adds magic to conversation and zest to the printed page. An expert at giving grief, Martin can also be constructive, and has contributed much to a school which has accepted him in spite of his nationality. Although his verbal facility has over- shadowed his sincerity of purpose, his friends get the message, I just got to, got to, got to have it!
