%2 JAMES LATIMER BELLIS At the beginning of our eighth grade year, a small, bashful, and quiet hoy en- tered our class in the person of Jim Beilis. He soon proved himself to he anything hut insignificant by excelling in all sports in which he participated for the Lancaster Club. As time went on, Jim came more and more out of his shell. By the time that our class entered the senior school, he had proved that he was a leader as well as be- coming one of the Darling Doctor’s Mon- day morning colic kids. This change into a regular weekender is still a problem as to whether it was for better or worse. His Fourth Form year was rather stag- nant when it comes to being outstanding. Although he did play Intermediate soccer, Jim had an unfortunate accident in the winter when he injured his knee and was kept out of hockey. This was the year that Jim decided to see how the other half lives and consequently did a great deal of prowling about on weekends. Last year was a gala one as Jim became a shining light in our class. He was elected secretary of his class at the beginning of the year and became a stellar part of the varsity soccer team. Continuing throughout the year as a kingpin in sports, he played a vicious game of both hockey and lacrosse and finished up the year as a three-letter man. This year the tables turned. Jim, who used to be one of the few Oxford woman-haters left in our set, gained quite a good deal of interest in them. Now his favorite extra-curricular activity is “wolfing” a certain member of Oxford. In the short time that he spends in school he has managed to find time to cap- tain the soccer team through a brilliant season and play a rugged game of both hockey and lacrosse again. Needless to say he proved himself to be still an all-around athlete and good guy. As most of us know. Jim is headed down the river for Wesleyan, where he hopes to “pass” the next few years. 8

CARL MICHAEL BENGS '42 When school opened at the beginning of the freshman year, the class had a new member in the person of Carl Michael Bengs who, entering in one of our more notorious years, proceeded to hold his own in a scholastic way with little trouble. In the fall of this year Mike played tennis as one of two who chose this sport. That first year, and, for that matter, each year since then he has gone out for skiing in the winter term. Unfortunately this skiing has consisted mostly of running the mile because of the rather consistent lack of snow. The sophomore year found “Mike” a little more interested in extra-curricular activities. The Rifle Club attracted him to its membership and he promptly won his first seven bars. Mike’s athletics this year followed the same pattern as the previous year. In his junior year he changed his athletic program violently by entering football, also violently. The end of the year found Mike a member of the Wyvern board to which he contributed from time to time. In the spring term he was listed as a member of the softball team, but he passed the season without showing up to a single session. After 1940 had slipped into the past and this year was upon us, “Car- michael” was again to be found on the football field, but this was soon changed to a blanket excuse from exercise. He widened the scope of his extra-curricular activity by enrolling as a member of the Choir and Choral Club to which he has lent his support throughout the year. His contributions to the Wyvern con- tinued, and he was elevated to the post of Exchange Editor. This spring Michael again was among the members of the softball team. This year, however, he exercised faithfully. His main hobby is his music. Unlike most of his classmates he tends to keep pretty strictly to the classics of which he is the class master. Though uncertain about his choice of college he expects to follow a pre-medical line. 9
