FRANCIS ALLEN BARTOW, IR. Pete 825 Montgomery Ave. Bryn Mawr, Pa. Entered 1935 A tall, gangling individual entered the Iunior School one line tall day, much to the surprise of Mr. Smith, who had to look up to the boy instead of down when introduced to Pete Bartow. Pete's uniailing humor has been the delight of many classes, but, just to prove that you can't please everyone, the exasperation oi many teachers. Heading his school activities is his connection with the squash and soccer teams. Pete captained the former and played goalie for the hooters. His tennis playing won him a place on the team for two years. Socially, Pete is outstanding and is invariably lound at the dances, parties, and bull-sessions. Aside irom being the class joker, Pete has a personality that is pleasing to everyone with whom he comes in contact. Upon graduation Pete plans to continue his education at Amherst.

Whatever his reason lor staying here, Iohn has made good use of the past four years. He has been connected with the Glee Club, where he sang second bass: the Polemics Society, where he will be remembered tor his many whysg and Mr. Cleaves's speaking course, as he was a imalrst in Iohn's ability to see the bright side oi lite and his brains will probably make him one of the most successful members of our class.

EDWIN ROCKEFELLER BALDRIGE fudge 1017 Walnut St., Hollidaysburg, Pa. Entered 1947 The Iudge came to the Oaks in his Senior year just to test the beds. But he claims that since that time his back has been straightened im- measurably. His voice with its Hollidaysburg accent could be heard above all others on the football field when Ed was out to mow 'em down last fall. As one of the founders of this year's Spanish Club, Ed is the only mem- ber who has been to every movie that the club has sponsored. The Oaks Boys, although they have not profited much by his talks and debates, will tell you at every chance they get that Ed is the best thing that has hit the Oaks in years. His mail, a letter from his best girl every day, and his friendly attitude have made him one of the best liked fel- l ' h ' l . Spanish Club, Sec. G Treas.

Entered 1947 Haverford's Physics classes have been interrupted continuously by a boy who always has a difierent answer from that of the author of the textbook. The funny part of the matter is that Lev is usually right. Not only was the school graced by Levis's smiling face, but also it has profited by his quips. When the soccer squad needed a man to fill a place on the team, Levis filled in so well that he won his school letter. His mighty muscles could be seen on display in the crew shells on the Schuylkill River in the spring. The School will be sorry to lose such a personality as has been present during these past months in Levis Baldwin. 8 Soccer H VI Crew VI

Entered 1939 In the fall of 1939, a tall, thin, worried-looking boy entered the Iunior School, little realizing what troubles would befall him before his Senior year. After shuffling his way through the Iunior School with a cheery smile, Bill Bid entered First Form. If the question of studies ever arises, Bill will tell you that without the slightest doubt, trigonometry was his easiest subject, but the fact re- mains that because he wanted something to amuse himself with during the summer, he took it up before school started. Bill is interested in weather, and upon asking him one question concerning it, he will launch into a long stream of words which mean nothing to the average layman. Bid was so much affected by going out for the track team for three years that in his Senior year he actually tried to run the mile for his Qualification Medal. He also had quite a hand in the March Play this year. Bill plans to enter Colorado College upon graduation from Haverford, and he will surely succeed in any course he plans to take. IOHN BIRKINBINE, II Birky 4206 Spruce St., Phila., Pa. Entered 1947 Birky entered Haverford last fall. It was not very long before he be- came interested in some of the extra-curricular activities that the school offered. He was elected Vice-President of the Stamp Club and was one of the founders of Haverford's new organization, the Iazz Club. Iohn has also been busy in other fields. His scholastic record is excellent. He adjusted himself to his new school immediately last fall and was on the Honor Roll all year. In fact, he was always close to number one in the class. Iohn received a certain amount of fame from a report he made in inter- national relations class on the Mexican Indians. In that course most boys try to stretch their reports out so they will be long enough, but not Iohn. He made his in Ianuary and it was so long that Mr. Haviland was afraid he wouldn't be finished until Spring Vacation. We might add that it was a very scholarly piece of work. Iohn plans to attend Oberlin and the whole class knows he will do a con- scientious iob there as he did here at Haverford. 10 Science Club Vl Stamp Club Vice-Pres. Vl Iazz Club Vl Honor Roll 177.
