LOUIS A. RUSS V. Soccerg Baseballg Manager, Wrestling: President, International Clubg Glee Clubg Choir. Louis came to Hackley in 1951 from Monrovia, Liberia. He will be remembered for his dogmatic pronouncements in Hackley school meetings and the studied ease with which he moved about the Hilltop. While at Hackley, Louis was president of the International Club, a member of the Varsity soccer team for two years, and manager of the Varsity wrestling squad. He was also a member of the Hackley Glee Club and Choir. MANOCHEHR SABOURI V. Wrestling U-UQ V. Soccer QI-U1 V. Tennisg International Clubg Bridge Club: Headwaiterg Chapel Usher. Manooch was one of the Iranian contingent which was well rep- resented in the class of 1955. Although plagued at first by a language difficulty, he soon overcame this as was well shown by his vitriolic attacks of British imperialism in Iran. His most famous oration in a forum last fall was directed against our English exchange student. In sports he played tennis and soccer, but his forte was varsity wrestling. Although he weighed only 120 pounds, his muscles were steelg he wrestled in the light weight and was a pillar of strength there for three years, scoring many valuable victories. A back injury curtailed his participation in his Senior year. Manoochehr was active in the International Club. However, prob- ably his best-known activity was that of the weekend headwaiter. DICK SAVAGE V. Football fHJg V. Baseball QHQQ V. Basketball fl-U3 Corridor Monitorg Rifle Club. Dick was a newcomer to Hackley this year. Big Dick. as he was called by his classmates, was very popular with his fellow students. Among Dick's favorite phrases was lets live a little and he did just that. Dick was a contributing factor in all three major sports, football. basketball, and baseball. His vigorous tackling and blocking were a great help in our successful season, as was his sharp eye in basketball and baseball. Dick comes from Irvington, New Jersey, where he was a standout performer in sports as well as being a good student. One of Dick's contributions to Hackley was his service on the Sophomore corridor, and undoubtedly his stature aided in his rule of that den of iniquity. 23 isnvvm
