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

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

Spanish Club IV, V Science Club VI IOHN CHRISTOPHER MARSCHER, IR. lack 119 Argyle Rd., Ardmore, Pa. Entered 1944 lack entered Haverford in his Third Form year in 1944, and although it took us a while to unscramble him from his deep Southern accent, he quickly acquired our Yankee ways. Athletically, his principal sport is crew, and in the spring you can find him in the coxwain seat in the shell on the Schuylkill River busily calling out instructions. In school activities, lack is a member of the Dramatic Club's stage crew. Behind the scenes, he and Dick Quillman put on a show of their own. lack is also an active member of the Science Club and is one of its staunchest backers. He says his only disappointment is that he will leave Havertord before the new science building is built. lack is planning to go to Georgia Tech this tall and study electrical en- gineering, and if his work here at school is any sign, we're sure he will be a success in this field. Dramatic Club VI Glee Club Vl Crew V, VI ANTONY MASON Tony 1413 35th St. N. W., Washington, D. C. Entered 1941 Tony Mason is one oi the leading boys in his class. Last year, while in the Fifth Form, he was one of the five boys chosen to form the nucleus oi this year's Signet Society. Although he has distinguished himself in many school activities, Tony is perhaps best known for his praiseworthy feats in the swimming pool. He was captain of the mermen this year, and he well deserved that distinction. His work on the football iield also deserves mention, as do his excellent performances with the Dramatic Club, espe- Dramatic Club V, Vl Current Events Club Vl Index V, VI Athletic Association V, Sec.

It must be noted, nonetheless, that he once nearly started another Oaks fire by putting a match to a ping-pong ball which was un- fortunately kicked under a stutied chair. Tony will be remembered for a long time at school: any Haverford boy would do well to fashion his school career after Tony Mason's. 26
