Tom Cochran. Bi , ijcnial Tom spends most of his da liKht hours staiidiTijr near Senior Kntrance and buttonholing the fel- lows as the - uo by. lie ' s ijot a lot on his mind, too: (lowers to he ordered for the girls in the latest Cap and I ' x-lls play: leather priorities to l.e finessed liefore the Siwash Teachers basketball game can go on; Ri ' .coKi) ads to cheek up on — not to speak ot Tom ' s most persistent worry: Who was that girl I saw oii with last night? B - night, Tom either engages in a masterful bridge game, or keeps a vigil at the Straw. .Xttci hops he l;ats his father ' s ear over to Camden and back, jusl to get the wanderlust out of his system. But there is et another Tom — the Tom of the gridiron and the Tom oi the C.o - department. We somehow feel that a few years heiu-e we ' ll be seeing more of him- perhaps on the co er of Time m.igazinc. Al Dorian. We are studying quietU ' and efticienth ' in our little cell. The birds are tooting happily in the treetops. All ' s right with the world. Suddenly the air is shattered by a crashing baritone. It ' s Al pouring out his soul to the world at large. It ' s Rigoletto in the morning, Tristran in the evening, and almost anything in the shower. Not that we object, of course. Every- one must find his outlet, a little salt and pepper on the dail - routine. Al finds his salt in song . . . Nor is this the limit to his accomplishments. It is not everyone who can claim to have conducted a dozen of the world ' s foremost symphonic orchestras. 1 In- mere inter ention of a phonograph record between Al and his orchestra detracts nothing from his .ibility. Inthe field of sports, Al has madeabig contribution to Haverford ' s laurels, both as president of the ' arsity Club and as a versatile athlete. On the soccer field, under the basket, on the pitching mound, on the tennis court, we see the same flourish and finesse. Always the clown, the dude, the aesthete, the athlete. What more could a woman ask? 1.?

lad ' with remained to know t Lee Childs. How often did we who knew him become spellbound as this master story-teller of them all spun his web of fiction. A man of many relations, Lee is the only Haverford man who claims cousins in both Afghanistan and in Patagonia. This the original bo ' from Syracuse has ever excelled in pinning the bovine. Often far into the night Lee ' s little room was filled with the flotsam and jetsam of all four classes as he alternateh ' did Chem 5 and told about the Adirondacks and the exigencies of existence of medical men. The bo ' with the line hit the dances as hard as he hit the books. Executing a fox-trot that would make Arthur Murray gulp, Lee would further confuse the a contradictor - account of his personality. So to most of them he an amiable man of m stery. Those who were fortunate enough he real Lee knew a simple, kind, home person who loved kids. f ' ' TSir |[ ' ' ' ' ' ? John Clark. ... And the walls come IJ k SSI v tuniljlin ' down ... That rolling basso heard for the past four years in Glee Club concerts, in so many plays — heard bouncing around the floor of Roberts Hall and tumbling down all those stairs from the Tower — belongs to Center ' s most loyal son and one of the last of our members of the Society for the Preservation of Hebron, Booneville, Boyertown, and All Points. John ' s concern over the social as well as the intellectual education of Haverford men is responsible for his being a co-founder of the Barclay Retter Bridge Bureau and Protective Associa- tion. The high point of his winter campaign was in serving as usher at the recent wedding of an honor member of the SFHBBAP, but it does not seem yet to have done anything more than put ideas in his head. He will not be a bachelor for more than five years, though . . . not without breaking a written contract. John is one of the relatively few who has found out that Swarthmore isn ' t so bad after all. Of course it took him three and a half years to discover this fact, but then the co-operation plan between us has only just begun . . . 12

Wilnier Dunham. Having passed a sober eveniiii; at the Loc, Hawkeye is wont to strip to his vividi - lined shorts and begin the next day ' s Engin assignment. This procedure oeciirs, of course, only between seasons — be- tween Soccer Season and Track Season. But at any time of year Hawkeye may be found hard at work on his favorite hobby: to wit, Making People Laugh at Themselves. Hawkeye also indulges in a sport peculiar to ( eorge School graduates: that of loudly pro- claiming the virtues of the aforementioned (George School. In support of his argument he periodically produces Fhyl, who we all agree represents the strongest possible evidence in his favor. When not taking part in any of the activities so far indicated, Hawkeye is usually at the Skating Rink, where he helps cut the ice. Mostly, Hawkeye spend his time recovering from Rhinie Year, which was plenty tough. If you ever catch a haunted look in his vyv, you may be quite sure that he is thinking of living conditions on the first floor of South when the Mayer-Steptoe gang was on the loose. Roy Dye. Since Freshman year when his match cover collection was the admiration of all Merion, Roy ' s fixations have gone through a remarkable cycle of change. Sopho- more year he campaigned fervently among his patrons in the dining room only to be nosed out by a senior in the election of best waiter. Retiring to his books after this disappointment Roy began to concentrate jHi M ' ' ' future as a lawyer. This has been a ! . L. iil ' steady drain on his time ever since. However ff in Junior and Senior years he has been f B BSIk A i K. forced to give some attention to the matter B k Hmuji of balancing the income of a waiter against H QIIhIJI H expenditures and week-ends at Welles. So inconsistent is this side of Roy ' s character with his everyday role of student, athlete, and President of the Janitor ' s Night School that his room- mates often wonder whether Roy actually does reach Welles on the week-ends when he disappears for several days. They are reassured that he is keeping up his contacts with the outside when he receives his daily letter addressed in feminiiU ' handwriting. 14
