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

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. Glee Club VI Polemics Society VI Current Events Club VI Student Federalists V, VI Soccer V, H VI Swimming H V, VI Track, V, VI Spanish Club V Football III, IV, V, VI Wrestling IV Tennis Mgr. 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

IOHN NORMAN McDOWELL, IR. Mac 2619 Woodleigh Rd., Havertown, Pa. Entered 1947 Haverford High School lost a.good soccer player last year when Norm came here. When the need came for a goalie, Norm immediately ran to answer the call. Learning rapidly, Norm won a place on the first team, where he finished the season. Although the Rebels didn't win the intra- mural basketball league title, it was no fault of Mac's, who played every game and was one of the league's high scorers. The other extra-curricular activities in which Norm has been interested have been the Spanish Club and the tennis team. Although Mac has been at Haverford School for only one year, he has brought to the school an outstanding personality. His sportsmanship and all around good spirit were present the entire time he was with us. We wish Norm the best of luck in future years.
