HEARTBREAK HOUSE: MERION ANNEX I Far beyond the busy hubbub ot the on campus life stands a brown and white, barn-like structure whose traditions reach far back into Haverford history. It was with two years of experience under West Chcsterian tutelage that Jack Harvey sallied forth as tlie Grover Whaien of Merion Annex to welcome this fifth-entry trio in the fall of 1953. With tiieir arrival (he Annex, usually the scene of light comedy in affairs dc la cocur. sadly watched the dark d(xir of romance shut on less talented romeos. During the college theatre season the President of the Drama Club, fresh from his exploits, knee-deep in the Yukon mud, stoically undertook his part as Shane Dibbins to cope with the endless crises which confront such an organization. ( Thank you, Madam, for loaning us your fine antique chair for our set. Unfortunately, how- ever, there was an open paint can nearby, and . . . ) Bill has fulfilled his rc-spon- sibilities quietly and without complaint; his efforts have much furthered the Club, and his understanding guidance will be much missed. In four years he has been a loyal friend; we have appreciated his interest in us, his good taste, his friendly good humor. We look forward to his literal appearance on the architectural scene four years hence. Charlie Fry is most commonly found rushing somewhere in his black Chewy convertible. He might be heading for a Nautical Club regatta, a procurement mission for the Drama Club, or his own personal procurement mission to Bryn Mawr. Although a great admirer of things aesthetic, and more particularly feminine beauty and companionship, he found that Europe viewed from a bus full of laughing females was just too much. The American press reported that the bus slid off a soft shoulder and into a Dutch canal, but some of us think we know better. During his more stationary moments, Charles can be seen comparing the various ways of tackling a situation or delving into some deep philosophical problem. His helpful, cheerful attitude has made him a good friend to everyone. Jack Harvey, The Third Man Theme , came to Haverford in his sophomore year as a transfer student from Williams. He has been active in the News and the Drama Club, while his storehouse of information concerning current theatre and flick opportunities in the area has been a constant aid to his friends. In addition to this. Jacks room has provided an everfaithful sanctuary (sure sack) for weekend guests in the Annex. As a history student at Haverford, he has shown particular interest in the study of the nonexistence of feminine influence in the court system of Norman England. His aim is to be a Philadelphia lawyer , an end which he is sure to achieve. Bill Wilson (of Greenwich) would give anybody anything he has, and frequently does. His plaintive query, Has anybody seen my car? can be heard at any time of the day or night, and he has been known to go for a week at a time without having the slightest idea of where it is. Hiding beneath his suave exterior of unruffled calm lies both a heart ever willing to take on the concerns of a troubled friend, and one of the most sarcastic tongues in captivity. A staunch advocate of capitalism, Christianity and clear thinking, his unshakeable conviction that the opposition is merely confused leads to many unreconcilable arguments: ( Now, that isn ' t what you really mean. What you mean is . . . ). At any rate, his slow smile and especially his genuine friendship will not fade easily from our memory.
