Baseball QI-Ijg Student Councilg Chairman of Work Committeeg Varsity H Clubg Athletic Board of Control. Don was known to everyone at Hackley as a cheerful guy who had a smile and a hello for CVCYYOHC. Wliile at Hackley, Don achieved a great record. He was president of the junior class, and this year president of the school. Also a good athlete, Don was captain of the football squad this year, thereby completing three years of Varsity competition. Don has played two years of basketball and was captain of this year's basketball team. Don said that he had no hobbies. but the alert observer noticed he had a peculiarly willful way with the opposite sex. Don occupied the rest of his spare time with golf. tennis and skiing. Sheing is the activity he enjoys most. After college Don looks forward to a career in advertising. lil

swimming team during the winter. In the Spring of 1952 we ofiicially took over the running of the school and received Senior privileges. Most of the boarders returned from spring vacation with new radios, only to discover that they had been for bidden until Senior year, The election campaign was unusually calm with no recorded deaths. The usual promises of more dances and privileges were made on speech day. When the returns came in, Don Saunders had won the Presidency of the School by a large margin. Al Kelly defeated four rivals and became vice-president. His never-to-be for- gotten campaign was ably managed by Steve Weiss and Keith Russel. As the academic year ended, we looked forward to the glorious days which awaited us as Seniors the following September. Our Senior year was marked by the outstanding quality of our athletic teams. Almost all Varsity squads improved their records over the previous year, due in no little part to the Seniors them- selves. Our academic average again led the school as we wended our respective ways through music appreciation, mathematical analysis, chemistry, and fourth year Latin. The Hackley Octet made a record number of appearances providing good entertainment and good publicity for the school throughout a wide area. The Glee Club gave a concert in Philadelphia, which marked the first time any large Hackley organization had made so extensive a trip. We doubled the size of our news- paper, THE DIAL, with the help of our British Exchange Student. A series of successful tea dances were held throughout the year in the Tuck Shop. The International Club promoted two dances, both of which were held in the Dining Room. This year's Senior Prom will be held in Good- hue Hall, which has been beautifully redecorated. Perhaps our foremost accomplishment was the beginning of the Hackley Work Program. Three Seniors laid the groundwork and put the program into operation. We have passed the program on to the Class of '54, and we hope it will benefit Hackley to a great degree. Now as graduation nears, we soon become col- lege Freshmen. Who knows what will become of us from college? Undoubtedly some of us will enter military service or some business. Wherever our paths may take us, we shall always remember our years on the Hilltop.

-IAIME ALVAREZ V. Footballg V. Track: lnternational Club. One of our outstanding Latin-American representatives was 'laime Alvarez. who comes from El Salvador. jaime came to Hackley from the Hill School, and during the fall. he did a line job as tackle on the Varsity football team. In the winter and spring he participated in track. -Iaime was also a member of Hackley's International Club. Those who knew jaime, found that behind his apparently quiet nature he hid at combination of Latin fervor and American friendliness which emerged in the company of an intimate group. JOHN BAUGH V. Football Manager QHJQ Dial: Tuckshop Committeeg Senior Gift Committee. john entered Hackley during the fall of 1950 as a dayboy, but he decided to spend his Senior year as a studious boatder. He was liked by all and was willing to lend his assistance wherever needed. He wholeheartedly supported all extracurricular activities on the Hilltop. There were very few occasions upon which john did not honor us with eloquent oratory. While not a born athlete, he aided Hackley':: athletics in his own way. His work as a manager for different teams contributed to the success of our athletic seasons. Throughout his stay at Hackley, john did much to bolster the school spirit. FRANK BOGARDUS Football QHJQ Basketball CHJQ Track QHJQ Glee Clubg Choir. Frank came to Hackley this year from Pleasantville High School. lmmediately his ability as an outstanding quarterback on the football team was shown. His tranquillity on the playing field always kept the team together and enabled them to win many games. Perhaps more important than his athletic ability was his ability to hold sincere friendships. Frank quickly made many new friends at Hackley and he became one of the most popular boys in the Senior Class. Because of his modesty and sincerity. we are sure that Frank will always have many friends wherever he goes. One of the most notable characteristics of Frank was his con- servative way of dressing. Vlho will forget the inevitable bow tie with the white pants and blue jacket. or who will forget the dark purple shirt with white tie. all combined with Western boots? After Frank leaves Hackley we know he will be a success. 15
