Current Events Club VI Polemics Club IV Squash H VI Basketball IV, V, H VI Baseball H V, VI IOHN LEWIS EVANS, II Lou Villanova, Pa. Entered 1935 It seems as if Lou is a fixture around the school. He has been here since 1935, a mighty long time when you stop to consider. From 1935 to 1948 the span is thirteen years. It is supposed to take the normal mind twelve years to mature, but Lou fooled everyone and started in Pre-School. Although Iohn is known to have broken combs trying to unscramble his curly locks, they are usually covered by a baseball hat. He shines on the baseball field, where he can be seen warming up as soon as the squash season is over. His stellar pitching has brought the team through many a game the last two years. The poker lace of Long Shot Lou has brought many a cheer from the gallery during the basketball games. The set shots for which he is famous have given him his never-to-be-forgotten nickname. Aside from the tact that Iohn has never learned how to park a car, nothing much can be said against him. If he is as successful in the busi- ness world as he has been here at Haverford, he will undoubtedly end up on the top. Ko.. ok Glee Club V, VI Dramatic Club VI Camera Club V Football VI Tennis VI EDWARD ALLEN FRICK Ed 538 Manor Road, Wynnewood, Pa. Entered 1946 Haverford was graced by Ed's smiling face in the Fifth Form, the year he arrived from Lower Merion. His main impression of the School was that the demerit system was entirely unnecessary and that something should be done about it. This investigation only led to trouble concerning the Yellow Sheet, so it was dropped. Aside irom languishing in the Big Room every Saturday morning, Ed has spent his time with the varsity football team and his Lincoln. These two things are mentioned together because when the football season was over, Ed spent most of his time on the car. His smiling face is seen at every dance with his date for the encounter. lf a new hotel is unveiled in Philadelphia in the near future, there will be many who will not be surprised to see Ed in the manager's office, for he plans to study Hotel Administration at college next fall. 16

THOMAS STOTHART CROSKEY 820 Pennstone Rd., Bryn Mawr, Pa. Entered 1942 Tom came to Haverford in the fall of 1942, and, as he puts it, went into intellectual training.f' He has done a lot more than learn his lessons since the year he entered. He has been outstanding as an athlete and as a participant in extra-curricular activities. Croakie the athlete excells in football and track. And Croakie the active student is among other things Business Manager of the Haligolulc. Recognized as a boy of great ability, Tom was elected Vice-President of the Filth Form last year. This red-haired Haverlordian is a socialite also. He vows that with wtTomf, i the exception of red-hot intra-mural basketball games, big discussions in , the lunch room, and weekly meetings of the Current Events Club, he thinks the best things at Haverford are its dances. The last word here about Tom must be ones of cheerful prophesy, for he certainly will go tar in the world with his natural ability. Current Events Club V Spanish Club Pres.

Sefior Robert Drew-Bear, Secretary-Treasurer ot the Senior Class, member ot the Signet Honor Society, and President of the Glee Club, entered the School eight years ago. He did not know much English at the time, and how much he knows now is sometimes questionable. Bob has enjoyed his last two school years very much. He will tell you that he has continually been between heaven and geometry session. He also says that if college food is as good as Oaks tood, his college life will be enjoyable. The Seiior has been outstanding in athletics for several years and is known for his achievements in swimming, football, and baseball. He was on the All-Interac Football team this year. The Glee Club must be mentioned in connection with Bob. He has sung with this organization since the Third Form and was made President this year. He has also been in the Three-Pours his last two years. Haverford has benelitted from Bob's stay, and he can be counted on to do as well elsewhere as he has done here. 15

,,-.F--v-ew IAMES EDWIN GROSSMAN lim 124 College Ave., Annville, Pa. Entered 1947 For the past several months the address of one Iames Grossman has been The Oaks. He has been located even more specifically in what he calls luxurious suite No. 9. Although he is always very soft spoken, lim proceeded to lose his voice completely for a short while this year. When it came back, it wasn't quite the same for some time. Anything around school during the first days of f' March that sounded like a frog was easily recognized as lim speaking. This winter Iim learned to ice skate. According to reports he wore out three pairs of pants before learning to keep his balance. There is safety in numbers was Iim Grossman's motto this year, as he sent applications to at least fifteen colleges. The colleges that don't get him will be sorry. He has what it takes!

In addition to his scholastic ability, he is quite an athlete. The fact is that he prefers athletics to studies. What a strange frame of mind! He complains bitterly that most of the teachers don't agree with him on this matter. Penn Charter prepared lack for his Haverford School career, which began in the First Form. During all his years here, he has been housed in the Oaks. He says that things happen there that couldn't happen anywhere else! This remark is delivered in an innocent tone as though he were completely unaware of his part in these things Taking into account lack Haas' line grades in all of his subjects, his accomplishments in extra-curricular activities, especially the Dramatic Club, the editor-in-chief post on the Haligoluk, and his athletic accom- plishmentsfone can easily see that he will be a success in whatever he undertakes in the future. Ile has done a lot for this class and for Haverford, wr- 17
