As singer, newspaper and years book man, Student Council member, co-cap- tain of hockey, and avid supporter of the vir- tues of Nlanhattan Island, Dave has done more than his part in making the Sixth Form both a constructive and a happy group. And finally there is The Man! Although a denizen of Davis's pet hate, Long Island, Student Council boss Sam has been the one around whom the Form has united and with whom it has worked on the stage, in the gym, at many meetings and bull sessions. and in various classrooms to make the year 1953-54 a memorable one in Fountain Valley's history. The Form's leisure time, what little there was, centered around the Common Room, where at any given moment Barney could be found cleaning up and dissertations on the home-town, school, sports, and McCarthy could be heard in that order. The Sixth Form this year has been as varied and hard-working a group as any in the school's history, and it has led the school through a successful year.

Sixth Form History This Sixth-Form history is not going to be one of those sentimental records which start out, There were three of us in the beginning. Instead this history will review our last year at Fountain Valley and attempt to show the part that each person has contributed toward that integral known as the Sixth Form. The class of l954 has had as busy and active a year as any in the school's history and has had representatives in every activity available. Each new opportunity for participation and oftentimes hard work has been accepted as a challenge by one group or another in the Form. Student government, publications, sports, and other extra-curricular Helds have given us great pleasure and at times taken the sweat of our brows. One field in which the Form has excel- led, indeed the most important Held, is studies. The class has done consistently well with Rory Cross and Robert DeJong leading the way. The Student Council, with Sam Silverstein as President and Dave Davis and Pete Verstap- pen as the other Senior members has done a fine job, taking a great deal of responsibility and using it effectively. With Mr. Poor's help and -Sam's leadership, much has been accomplished in the direction of better faculty-student un- derstanding and effective student government. The Sixth Form is not composed of athletes, and representation on teams has not been large. Most of the boys in the Form, however, have earned a letter. Bill Schmid and Bob Rahm, probably the Forms two best athletes, have been relatively inactive sportwise this year, though both have been ardent supporters of the various squads and have arranged all the athletic receptions. B.ll has performed just as brilliantly on the stage in Mr. Kitson's Pinafore as he did in former days on the football Held and hockey rink. Bubba Rahm, no mean man with the squash racquet as his winning of the school tour- nament indicates, has carried on the family tra- dition as Chairman of the Dance Committee by producing rand they are productionsj, with the assistance of Sixth-Form members Schmid and John l-laldeman, outstanding dances to be long remembered. lncidentally, The Hoop l-laldeman, as captain of the basketball team, is destined for immortality as one of the highest scorers in the school's history. Publications have taken on new life and have been extremely active. Bryant Barnard, fearless editor of the Viking, has turned out a top-notch newspaper every third week, with assistance from Sixth Formers Dan Tex Benson, David Dormouse Davis, Sam The Man Silver- stein, Peter Rabbit Mitchell, Erich The Swiss Bucherer, and Managing Editor Rory 'iSheepherder Cross. Benson, an amazingly good humored and witty Texan, has also done a tremendous job as President of the Glee Club and Yearbook Sports Editor. Rory Cross has been our scholar during his stay here and has also been most studious and conscientious in dumping opposing linemen who bothered him. Tom Lehman played a scrappy game at guard with Cross for the basketball team and has the distinction taccording to his own wordsj of being our only six-year man and a product of that tourists' paradise, Colorado Springs. Erich Bucherer, on the other hand, hails all the way from Switzerland. Erich has proved himself invaluable as an artist, doing most of the art work for the dances and the operetta, On the football field The Swiss demonstrated that he was no pacifist, playing a rough line game. Our other representative from Europe, Robert deJong, embarrassed us all when we discovered that Dutchy was getting consistantly better grades than most of us in everything, including our so-called mother tongue! Leslie Alex Rivvy Magruder is Tom Leh- man's fellow Pikes-Peakan and is generally conceded to be the Porm's fix-it-man. Magrud- er's room has been stark evidence of this fact, for it is filled with a strange assortment of odd- shaped boxes. Peter The Rabbit Mitchell has played football, been a member of that exalted body known as the dorm committee, and sung in the glee club and operetta -e all with equal ability in this, his Sixth-Form, year. Andy An- derson, on the other hand, cannot sing a note but is renowned as a traveller of wide repute. As a nimblefingered end Andy did a consider- able amount of travelling with a pfgskin satchel last fall. Bill Fairburn has done a hne job as one of the Senior Proctors and has managed the foot- ball and hockey teams efiiciently. Dave Dornan, Prexy of the Mountain Club, has led that or- ganization to previously unattained heights. Dave is also the Porm's photographic historian and has done an excellent job as Yearbook Pho- tography Editor. Pete Verstappen, Editor of the Yearbook, has also been a fine Proctor. Pe: Vee was the Porm's sole backfield representa- tive in that gentlemen's sport, football. Dave Davis, Assistant Editor of the Yearbook, has had his Hnger in as many pies as there are inches
