Charles Abbott. During his college career, Charlie established the impressive record of being the first person in the dining room every day — rain or shine — morning, noon, and night. Whether it was his regu- larity and promptness or his love of eating, it is hard to say. Probably these two qualities also led him to the Co-op where he ultimately became manager and almost achieved the Her- culean task of bringing the store out of the red. A Quaker from the country somewhere near I anghorne, Chuck arrived at Haverford to spend his Rhinie year with Adams Kay Inc., in third entry. After moving to Found- ers where he could keep an eagle eye on the Co-op, he retired in his senior year to South Barclay with Charlie Schaeffer, another solid up-countr - boy. Charlie never created much disturl:ance. He went about his work quietly and good-naturedly, whether it be as Circulation Manager of the News or squinting through a mi- croscope in the Bug lab. Dependable Charlie liked nothing better than to let out one of those deep-throated resonant laughs. James Neal Addoms. We have always looked upon Neal as a solemn and dignified chap who lived in Lloyd Hall for four years and e ' ery one of those years managed to snare a Corporation Scholarship — a fact that in itself is enough to make us wonder some- times about our little life. It turns out on further examination that Neal does many (jlher things beside study, and remember we many an envious prom evening when our James would toddle in, togged out in all his finery, and place himself gently but firmly in the very midst of the gaiety. The sciences have always captured his somewhat non- mercurial fancy more than anything else, and he has made a fine thing of them. Which is not to say that w c have never heard of Neal getting hilarious at a football game or chewing garlic au gratin in the center-bleachers. Well-rounded per- sonality is one of those expressions to be avoided wherever possible since it frequently applies to someone who can do most things in mediocre fashion. With Jamie, however, the expression carries more weight, and his serious nature is topped off with a keen sense of humour— a phenomenon which will, to our minds, inevitably place him in the hierarchy of Those Who Will Suc- ceed. Bonne chance, Aniigo, and ma ' never that golden bowl be broken!
