Preparing for HS. tourse at Dartmouth. Kg 'XL 'Eg jf 24,2 6, C IAMP came to Lawrenceville four years ago and has changed very little since we tirst knew him as a rhinie in Kennedy. On leaving the Circle. he heeame .1 charter member of the philosophical group which met on the Esplanade from eight in the morning until ten at night. VVhile in Kennedy, Champ was outstanding as an athlete in football. basketball, and hasehall. Coach Craig was delighted to have such a versatile performer and hated to see him leave. Champ has a ready ear for a good story and is always prepared to match the hest. Through the medium of his stories and iokes he has told us much about Hammonds- port. His leisure moments are usually spent reading weighty hooks and handling rather hulky eorrespon- dence-no one knows with whom. During the winter months Champ was one of the regular memhers of Mr. NVyman's Bowling Congress in Princeton. and we are told that he made his mark in that activity. Prize-winners in George are few, hut here we have one who has taken a prize in Spanish. However, Champ's popularity is not due to this award, hut rather to his perpetual geniality.

He's not a great talker. but there's magic in his lips when they touch the mouthpiece of his trombone. Many a concert of the Musical Clubs has been featured with his solos, and with true versatility he is an important member of Bob Cushir1g's Swing Band. Long to be remembered are their renditions of Getting Senti- mental with Dick and his trombone in a solo role. - Our Fifth Form being very large, Dick started the year rooming in Dawes. He has had chances to move, but never has, which shows how quickly and com- pletely he settles himself into a society, and how con- genial he is with boys of other forms, This has been his only year at Lawrenceville, yet he has 'l gained no little athletic achievement as halfback on the Filth Form soccer team. ln the important process of studying, Dick has seemed to favor chemistry as worthy of much of his time. He has spent many hours with Al Blake in the lab without. were glad to say, blowing up anything. Q4-.1 Um' Iimzdrezf Sixlewz

Qs-xii 'Eg l-22.45 fj XE? CJNE can see often moving about Upper a spectral form lost in a daze of deep thought and reverie. He is shrouded in mystery so as to make a casual observer think of magicians and weird, romantic. Far-Eastern sages. However, one is soon brought to realize. with perhaps a jolt, that it is only Defo Hunter quietly pursuing his way. Even though he is quiet and unassuming, Defo likes to air his knowledge and skill. especially in physics. He selects someone not acquainted with that subject and dares him to ask a question from the book. No matter what the question is, Red gives the answer with apparent ease. VVhen the question is easy. Defo shows his scorn of the fellow's choice and passes on. ln a winter term bull session this year the subject of discussion turned to stomachs and their capacity for holding liquids. Defo boasted that he could drink one hundred Coca Colas in a day, and was soon met with many challenges. He was offered tremendous sums of money by various parties to do as he had proposed. but as yet the lure of gold has IIOK prompted him to risk his health. Om' Hzmzfred Eigfzleezz
