Dave joined the class of '57 in the Third Form year. In addition to playing football and baseball, he made the Honor Roll and since then has been a steady member. In his Fourth Form year, he joined the News Staff and the Press Board, and in the Fifth Form was elected to the Student Council and Dance Committee. The senior year found Dave working on the Classbook, having been chosen its editor. In addition he was elected a Prefect, Vice-President of his class, and awarded the Korpcr Scholarship. In his sophomore and junior years, Dave played on the J.V. soccer squads and in his senior year played for the Varsity. Many afternoons he could be seen gleefully doing laps around the new field and enjoying every blasted minute of it. To everyone's surprise, he led the team in scoring. He also was elected to the all-conference team. During the winter of his Fourth and Fifth Forms, he, along with many others, joined the non-skiing skiers group. In the spring, he joined the newly formed golf squad, earning his letter in his sophomore year. In his senior year, intra-mural hoop was his winter choice. He was captain of the Wolverines and his highly biased articles concerning his team could be read in the News. Dave's en- gaging grin and likeable ways should be an asset at Williams where he will be headed this fall. The class of '57 wishes him the best of luck. 18

Chuck is a charter member of the class, having come from Junior School in the year of 1951. He immediately became an enthusiastic member of the York Club, playing soccer, tennis, and skiing when the weather permitted. (It usually didn't.) During his first three years he won Wyverns in each of these sports. During this period, he maintained a steady position on the Honor Roll, and joined Mr. Water- man's choir in the First Form in which he has kept a singing position” (heavens knows how he has done it) up to the present time. In his sophomore year, he made the jump from York to the varisity soccer squad, earning his letter that year and also in his senior year, but an injury sidelined him during his junior year. Chuck's fighting spirit on the team will long be remembered. For the last few years, riflery has been his main interest in the winter, and in his senior year he became captain of the team. Also, this winter, for the first time in his life, he could be seen on the basketball court, setting up plays for the Hoosiers in the intra-mural league. In his last two years, he served on the Dance Committee and News Board, and in his senior year was elected to the Class Committee. We will remember his '51 Chevy station wagon, his many parties, his smile and his friendliness. Chuck, a swell guy, best of luck to you wherever you go. 17

In the Fall of 1954, Dick joined the class of ’57 as a fourth former, coining from Sedgwick Junior High. Upon his arrival at Kingswood, he picked up the nickname of ' Art , given him by a couple of his classmates. In his sophomore year, Dick chose soccer as a fall sport, and was a member of the JV team. That winter, he joined Mr. Goodwin's ski group, which to his surprise, turned out to be a winter track team. Scholastically, Dick had the troubles of a new boy, but soon became accustomed to the new system. Because of his mathematical ability, he found himself in Mr. McGuinn's A Algebra class, and has remained in advanced math divisions since then. During the junior year, Dick obtained his JV numer- als in soccer. He decided to give up skiing in favor of joining the ranks of the morning hoopsters for the winter season. One of Dick's outside interests is shortwave radio. He carries on a correspondence with many foreign countries, and receives a number of letters from behind the iron curtain. In his senior year, Dick played on both Varsity and JV soccer teams, and was a player on the Badgers” basketball team. He was a hard-working ad-getter and photographer for the classbook, and also was a member of Mr. Green's Foreign Policy Association. Scholastically, Dick hiked his average close to the Honor Roll level. Dick's baby-blue Chevrolet, his good study habits, and his helpfulness will be remembered by the class. Best wishes, Dick. 19
