Walton Page Clark Clason One of the oldest members of our class. Page began his outstanding career in the upper prep in ’39. He immediately joined the York Club and was elected its secretary in the second form. During the next two years Page received two intermediate football letters for his regular work on the line. After joining the ever-popular 3:30 Club the second winter, in the spring he played his easiest game, softball. A book monitor that year. Page could also often be found annoy- ing someone with his interpretation of Einstein’s theories. During his fifth form year W. P. C was a regular on Joe Gargan’s varsity football squad, worked very hard on the Wyvem, and later was elected co-editor of our literary publication with Tom Sherer. Awarded his Kay during the year, at Commencement Page was awarded the Harvard Prize, given annually to the member of the junior class most outstanding in scholarship and good citizenship. Appointed a Prefect, he was also awarded the Downs Prize, awarded to that mem- ber of the junior class who, in the opinion of his classmates, has contributed most to the class of helpfulness, good fellowship, and good humor. In his last year Page won his letter and gold football as a regular guard on the undefeated football team. He hopes to pursue a scientific course at Princeton next September, and our highest wishes for his success go with him! They are never alone that are accompanied with noble thoughts.—SIDNEY. 12

I I Edward Stratton Carrier The resolute face of Ted Carrier first peered over the pigeons roosting on Russell Gates in September, '42. His soccer-playing style was, however, not nearly so cautious, and he won an intermediate letter. During the winter a member of Joe’s gargantuas, he played on the intermediate baseball team that spring, and was an eager (to get out) helper in the kitchen. Ted's fourth form year bears a remarkable resemblance to his previous one; in fact, it’s the same. He won an intermediate letter in soccer, played intermediate baseball, and won two more holidays for his help in the kitchen. In his junior year Ted won a major K with the varsity soccer squad, played first string tennis, continued work in the dining hall, and was appointed a lose property monitor. Obtaining many advertisements for the Wyvern, he became one of the outstanding members of the Business Board, and learned how to type out bills in Mrs. Weldon’s typing class. After Ted’s inclusion in that big political machine, the senior class, he was unanimously elected the Business Manager of the Wyvern, to the chagrin of Shylock” McDonough of the News staff. E. S. was this year awarded another major K in varsity soccer, played tennis, and ''rifled’’ with Colonel Wainwright. As Ted plans to go to Dartmouth or Williams, we send him knowing that he’ll go a long way on his subtle sense of humor and his easy way of making friends! Broadcloth without, and a warm heart wi'hin.—COWPER. n
