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!

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

BUZ JACKSON With a mind like a steel trap for the trivia of life, and like a sieve for the trivia of Physics, Buz bestrides his Pendleton world like an electronic colossus, although on somewhat fragile legs. Meeting the recurring crises of his existence with a char- acteristic C,est la vie, Buz reacts with equal nonchalance to academic misfortunes and demerits for illegal appliances. Dra- matic productions will miss his trenchcoat, his skilled hands, and his untiring driveg in the most literal sense, Buz was the one who made the scene. ED INMAN Ed, a man not afraid to take a gamble, can easily be recognized by his old Samis hat, con- struction boots, and illegal Levi's, covered by his camelis-hair overcoat. Although he presents bitter front, those who know him well know that between his sideburns is a feeling individ- ual. When not brushing up on his student hand- book and his attitude, Neddy has managed many successful safaris to Washington, where he has bagged several splendid specimens of the local fauna. Ed is a real person and a cool individual. ARTHUR JACKSON 'Tll fix his little red wagon! cries our irate senor, and proceeds to do so. This can mean anything from raising a lump on a hapless soccer opponent to drowning a neighbor's soul soundn with his own preferred classics. A certified electronics wizard and math shark Artie is happiest with a soldering iron in one hand and a log book in the other, putting together a computer to keep track of his Tops ord ers. He would rather listen than talk, but when he says anytlung it is a mathematical certainty to be worth hearing.
