N --Sl11llc1'.s'pf'r11'r 1 - . . . l'rom out of the steaming jungle that is the Sixth Form Lounge comes Tiger Tom Edge. Crowling profusely. Tom with his long stringy mane fills the hearts of his antagonists with panic. To his fellow scholars. Tom presents a more docile mien. The one outstanding char- acteristic of Tom is that he respects silence. To Tom silence is an institution holding the key to Peace in this harried world: and he tries. in his quiet way. to convert his companions. Yes. Tom is a godsend to all masters bothered by classroom noise and erudite nonsense. Hiro- hito is never bothered with questions, foolish or otherwise, from Tours corner. His attempts to prove that silence is golden is very much in evidence on the athletic field. During a foot- ball game Tom goes about his difficult job of line-backer with a grim determination and reserve that would shame one Mr. XVilliam Triplett on the trail of a malefactor. In soccer. T exhibits a ferocity and go-get-'emu atti- tude unusual for that fun loving aggregation. Sneaking up from nowhere, he hooks one foot in front of an opponents and claws the ball away. Tom plans to carry his crusade to the new Air Force Academy. He has decided that. although peace is the desired element, a few atomic bombs may be necessary to persuade the obstinate of its value. So. we leave Tiger Tom with the hope that in the Air Force Academy. at least. he may break the sound barrier. 28

ll'or'rl.vsl1'4'el 11vlunu'g1fron: his lips' rlistill'1l -l'np4' Being blessed with every conceivable form of high-school stereotype. it is no wonder that there exists amongst us a child prodigy. Descending on Landon School in the first form. this shining star quickly blazed through a whole host of opposition on the tennis courts and then proceeded to become the necessary 'well-rounded individual' The methods be used to prove that the latter was not a difficult achievement were merely subtle ramifications of his masterful techniques in the world of sharkskin shorts and clay courts. Already an established tennis idol. he set about convert- ing that close-knit. highly competitive family organization that runs Landon School into the L. S. L. T. A. Accomplishing this with little effort. he next set about becoming Number One universally ranked by this newly converted group. Using all of his vast knowledge of tennis deception. this more difficult task was achieved by his fourth form year. when his efforts were rewarded by proclamation from above. Having completely conquered the small world of Landon, Donnie decided to challenge the world of the opposite sex. Finding that the fast volley was the most effective. he scored ace after ace in this department. culminating his achievement with the acquisition of a blue Cadillac convertible. Thus in his final days at Landon. Donald Dell can justifiably argue. as he often secretly does. that football is not what it is cracked up to be. 27 Doxsisusox LUNDY DELL i'Donny'l Don Entered Form l Princeton Siuclenf Council 5. 6g Vive-Pr'e.s'iclcr1I 61 Dance Cmnniittec 3. -1. 5. 6: Landon News -l. 5. 61 Glen' Cluln -1. 5. 6g Special Music Group fig L Club 4. 5. 61 Bear Clulz 64 Quill mul Scroll fi: Bzlsketlmll 3. -1. 5. 61 Co-Captain 51 All-Prep 5. 61 xkll-.llf'fl'01IUlllllIl 5. 61 Tennis 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 61 Captain 4. 5. 1- l.
