AL KELLY V. Football fHjg V. Swimming, Captaing V. Baseballg Dial, Editor-in- chiefg Honor Councilg Varsity H Clubg Vice-President of the School. Al Kelly was probably one of the quietest, but certainly one of the most popular Seniors. A conscientious student as well as an out- standing athlete, Al stood out as a tackle and a line backer on the football team. His determination and ability won him the captaincy of the swimming team. Here Al switched from the back stroke to breast stroke, a change which was very important to the teams success. Al contributed much to Hackley as a member of the Community Council and Vice-President of the student body. The Kelly campaign vslilllgo down in Hackley history as the most colorful and original o al. He was also editor of the Dial, the school paper. Hackley is deeply indebted to Al for all he has done. LEE KOHNS V. Soccer fHjg V. Swimming QHJQ V, Trackg Social Service Com- mittee: International Clubg Board of Deacons: Corridor Monitor, Debating Teamg Art Editor Hilllop: Glee Clubg Choirg Community Councilg Board of Magistrates. Lee came to Hackley in the eighth grade. and ever since his arrival busied himself in the many activities on the Hilltop. He was on councils. clubs and committees past listingg there were few major organizations in which he had not participated, Perhaps this is the keynote of Lees character variety. One of the lower schoolers whom he watched over as corridor monitor might have looked into his room to see him photographing a praying mantis, reading a book, or sampling the cider he kept outside the window all with equal glee. From fixing his perpetually falling apart bed, to playing any position on Varsity soccer, everything came natu- rally to Lee. Nevertheless, he was not a boy to take all things seriously. He could see the humorous side in many of the school's activities, and from these he got ideas for his Dial articles and other literary ven- tures. He was, however, able to be serious on occasion, and by these two qualities he won the respect of those who worked with him. He had the distinction of being the only Community Camp counselor who could successfully keep his charges in bed until reveille. This was Lee Kohns: monitor, executive, writer, illustrator, student, and friend. JO HN KRUETTNER V. Wrestlingg Basketball, V. Tennisg Dial: Hilltop: President of the Senior Classg Debating Societyg Athletic Board of Control. john Kruettner spent four successful years on the Hilltop. He utilized his mental and physical qualities, both in his studies and in his athletics, to emerge a Fine example of the Hackley student.

Among his athletic interests were tennis and wrestling, in both of which he excelled. john's friendly smile and warming personality brought him many friends among the student body. To further point out this fact, he was elected President of the Senior class. His other activities included assistant editor of the Dial, and secretary of the Hillmfl.
