Dramatic Club Vl IOHN BENTON KNOX, IR. Knoxie Exeter Rd. and Taylor Lane, Haverford, Pa. Entered 1940 Little did anyone suspect upon the birth of a baby in New York State that ten years later he would be entering the Haverford School. Since Fox's arrival in the Fifth Grade, he has been an up and coming young man oi the class of 1948. Although Iohnny never mentions his women and the Dramatic Club, both have been outstanding in his life: his aversion to women and the revolutionist that he portrayed in the March Play have helped to give a better light on Iohn's way of living. As a debater, Knoxio has no equal, a tact which Mr. Cleaves knows only too well. From the sports viewpoint, Iohn has played on the football, basketball, and crew teams. Iohn plans to enter the retail business after he completes four years at college. Polemics Club Vl if A Foreign Policy Ass'n. Vl - W!

VI Glenmary Lane, St, Davids, Pa. Entered 1944 Come, let me clutch theel These are the words of Don Lamont on the subject oi a diploma. In reality, Don has earned his sheepskin very admirably ever since his arrival at Haverford in the Third Form, and he has maintained an honor roll standing since that time. He was on the championship soccer team in 1946 and did much to bring about its ulti- mate and well-deserved title. He has been an Index columnist, a member of the Dramatic Club stage crew, on the Dance Committee, a Cheer Leader, and a finalist in the Filth Form Public Speaking Contest. Despite his impressive accomplishments, Don has always been a modest person. When he calls his diploma a seemingly impossible goal, his friends know that for Don it has been far from impossible. He has always shown good sportsmanship, both in school and in activities outside of school, and a willingness to work hard. These valuable traits will continue to make Don successful long after he leaves Haverford. 24 Signet Society Vl Soccer H V, Vl Track V, VI ll V

EDGAR SLOAN KENNEDY, IR. Ted 1 424 Chestnut Lane, Wayne, Pa. Entered 1944 Ted's iirst encounter with The Haverford School was slightly difierent from that of most boys. He entered the school in Iuly, 1943, during the Summer Session. No, Ted is not really backward, but entering the school then was a necessary procedure for one, who, coming from another school, had not had algebra. The rest oi the class had already delved deep into that fearsome and terrifying subject. The Current Events Club and the Polemics Society have heard many rousing speeches delivered by Ted which concerned nothing much at all, but were very amusing. Ted's new Ford and the Glee Club have been his pet activities. The autobug has bit Ted, he spends much of his time with cars ot all types. Ted has worked hard here and seems destined to do well in college. .

Entered 1935 Ever since he enteredthe First Grade twelve years ago, Dick has had his nose in every happening ol the class of 1948. Among his many and valued interests there have been such things as skipping check-up and trying to see how high a grade it is possible to get in Senior Math and Physics. The height of his social standing was brought forth when he be- came the accompanist tor the Glee Club. Aside from playing the wrong run at the wrong time at cr concert, he has helped out immeasurably. His duets with Eep Thomson on the organ alter school have shattered many an eardrum in the downstairs hall. Upon graduation, Dick hopes to go to M.I.T. for a course in engineer- ing. 23 i

RICHARDSON GRAHAM LAU, IR. Dick 141.2 Edgevale Lane, Overbrook Hills, Philadelphia, Pa. Entered l943 Five years ago, Dick Lau entered Haverford in the Third Form. He was somewhat bewildered at first, but soon became accustomed to the absence of girls. ln athletics Dick has been a member of the football team, and in tennis he has held the unparalleled honor of being the only per- son who has been manager of a varsity sport for four years. Dick has been a good student and as all his fellow classmates will agree, he is the hardest worker in the class. Ho says one of his chief am- bitions is to make a talk in chapel, not as a petrified Fifth Former, but as an alumnus. None of us, however, will forget his excellent Fifth Form speech. Although Dick says his plans for the future are uncertain, he says he would like to go to Lafayette. Wherever he goes, all of us wish him the best of luck.

III, IV, V, VI ALDEN ALEXANDER LOFQUIST, IR. Chief Curren Terrace, Norristown, Pa. Entered 1946 Alden Lofquist has a way of asking questions at Polemics meetings that has made more than one fearful speaker quake in his boots. Al's per- sonality is much like the way he asks his questions-direct and honest. There is no mistaking these fine characteristics. Everything about him is of high quality. Al is a terror on the soccer field. To members of the opposing teams, that is. Behind his natural skill, there is a strong will to win. Time and again he has displayed such spirit that he has inspired his teammates to do better themselves. To the mention of Al's soccer career must be added the fact that he is a star in swimming and ran for track team this spring. After his graduation from Haverford, Al plans to study engineering. 25
