jlM MciCANN, .1 philosophy student who first grounded himself in science, forsook math to move into the higher re;ilm of ideas. A Central Higii Latin background com- bined with the rigorous workouts of Post in Greek m.ide J. R. one of the sharper etymologists on campus. Commuting from Germantown his first year, Jim then moved to Lloyd into a nest of cracker-barrel philosophers, moved on to Founders the next year, happy to find his adversiiries older and wiser. And .so the philosopher, four years of wise reading and deep thought behind him, continued the task of keeping chaos from creeping over cosmos and the task ot .varching for a photo. ynthetic female. HARRIS ARNOLD has a physical size that corresponds with his sense of humor and his wit. And it is these characteristics that have helped him beat a path through the Lunt-Drake-McCatfery trio while becoming an expert on bad bourbon and good women on the side. It was F. Scott Fitzgerald who spoke of a man being able to hold two opposing views in the mind at the same time and still being able to function. This seems to apply to Hack : he had a host of metaphysical reasons for the fact that Merion Annex was still standing, but he lived there just the same. DON KERNOVOTCH KERN, born during the proletariat revolution and discouraged by its lack of success, turned his efforts to the enlightened socialism abounding the Political Science department. After spending four years in this atmosphere, he became the only Political Science major to graduate a Republican. Because of the difficulty of posting notices on the Tenth Entry dart board (he was using it), .the athletic department had to do without his services. But he managed to attain a modicum of cultural sensitivity by cultivating cats and attending Wednesday evening philosophical meetings in New York. He was the only man to drive a Cadillac without a dime, but more in keeping with his new home, he learned to strengthen his legs by the walks from the Annex up to the campus. After receiving the M.A. from Uncle Sam, he plans to go into business. THE SOUND AND THE FURY Thirteen

KNIGHTS GAMBIT NORM HILL, unlike intrepid Sch.itannfF or Mdlani, forsook the sodden eeilings of the Annex for the soppy floors of Barelay. Norm had the distinetion of never touehing a drop or a weed until his Junior year whereupon he met up with the Mike Dunn Cult and from there wended his way to sueh urban hangouts as the Blue Note, the Rendez- vous, ete. This encounter subsequently won him first prize for the most underslept person in the class, awarded by Schatanoff, runner-up in the contest. In the early hours of the morning, (before the migration to Barelay) after briefly considering the classes for that morning. Norm could be heard moving to his bed, flopping down on the edge of it and lamenting the double tragedy of B.M.C. (a haven for out-of-it wenches ) and the graduation of Mike Dunn. RALPH JAECKEL, one of the few men in the Annex vv ' ho goes to bed at night, seeks solace from this dilemma in the secluded quietness of the library. Having avoided the twin Merion Maisons his first year, he endured a year of mental cruelty in North Barclay only to forsake this for the outer fringes of the campus. And there the faithful menage of night owls welcomed him to h;s new home (Schatanoff even risked his life one night, skirting from his window to Ralph ' s to open the door of his room. Ralph lost the key.) Once situated m this outpost, he had to learn to ride his bike and balance the brief case at the same time in order to make it to Russian classes. But when Cohen lost the former, Ralph returned with his sHghtly bouncing walk to the footpaths toward upper-upper campus. JOE SCHATANOFF can usually be seen between the hours of one and four in the morning, his long lean angular appear- ance framed in the doorway of IHMA. The only man, besides Malani, who has been able to stand the Annex for the full four year stint, he offsets his surrounding moribund maison by hourly jaunt off to the Toddle House to fortify himself against Cohen s banalities and the pursuit of chemistry, or until Dannay makes his harrassed appearance for a game of chess. A dangling cigarette between the lips of a vague smile bestride the chess board while intermittent chuckles punctuate the otherwise silent concentration of the game — before Joe flops back into his rocker, sighs quietly, reaches for a cigarette, glances at the clock, sighs again, and at last picks up the Chem book — long since fallen to the floor.

PIERCE HAZLETON moved down to 17 Merion in his senior year and liked it (the charm usually wears off sooner). But he found this far-fiung quarters more in keeping with his quiet and meditative soul. Frank Versaci joined him frequently in these metaphysical excursions over the imported beer; and Pierce finally conquered the problem of writing Loewenberg papers: a careful and subtle translation of the class notes. He also constructed a mobile once which was burned. He also plays Bach and the banjo and nothing in between, and draws in his spare time. HARRY RAPER. the other half of 17 Menon, wished he had lived there all four years. He is easily the most talented musically in the class, having written two brilliant scores for the Jun ior and Senior Class Night shows. And in his spare time, he played the violin, trumpet, bass, french horn, and worked over the Old Ford in his frequent trips to and from Bryn Mawr. (He discovered Marilyn and Bryn Mawr simultaneously in his Sophomore year.) Unlike his roommate, he was not disappointed with his first choice of majors, and looked every bit the musician with the horn-rimmed glasses, the hair in the eyes, and the flailing arms over his Class Night Orchestra. BOB LEWIS spent his Junior year in France (no one seems to know where) and returned grudingly to the campus to go his own quiet Bohemian way. He continued in his track talents while over in France, running in his first indoor meet, and brought back distinct continental attitudes com- bined with his initial concern for running form. A paragon of form in track, he is also a professional athlete of the tongue in linguistic diversity. POR TRAITS AR TISTS Foiiiiccii
