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.

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.

I W ,MJ WILLIAM M. BRETHERTON 3, 7p'Q'BII1 f 376 Bala Ave Bala Cynwyd Pa ay, W Entered 1946 He is the manager of the most interest g team tra-mural bas- ketball league, the 'Hot Rods' What more need be said about Bill Brether- ton? Actually, there are many more things to be said about him. He learned alter quite a long time at Haverford that he was able to dodge Mr. Shafer's demerit session. At least he claims to have done so. Not many other boys have the nerve to make so daring a statement. Bill played football here for one year and then switched to soccer. In the latter game, he did quite well for himself, and he was captain of this year's wrestling team. Strangely bewildered is how Bill describes himself when he first en- tered Haverford. He was much surprised by the lack ol female pupils in the classrooms. In the three years since then, Bill has changed this be- wilderment into a serious outlook on his surroundings, and he plans to continue his education at the University of Virginia next fall.

'QD Entered 1939 - In September, 1939, a new scooter with echo pipes and mutflers was seen drawn up before the Iunior School. Now it is Iune, 1948, and a new convertible is drawn up before the Senior School with Hank's hot-rod equipment all over it. Henry is known for his escapades on Friday nights after Glee Club rehearsal. In spite of his size Hank is one of the loudest and noisiest cheer leaders that Haverford has seen in a long time. The Index came alive as far as advertising was concerned because Henry established an all-time record for securing ads. The Glee Club has been blessed by Hank's booming tenor voice, and the monkey who is seen swinging from the lights in the gym before a senior dance is not really a monkey, but Henry William Breyer, Ill, who is one of the stalwart mem- bers of the Dance Committee. Henry will always be remembered at Haverford as one of the liveliest fun loving boys who have ever passed through these honored halls. 11
