Born at Kansas Citv, Missouri, May 21, 1912. Concert Club. Came to Lawrenceville September. 1959. Preparing for ll..-X. course at Dartmouth. 'i ll lTi'f'?'PTQ l ' DELBIE talks the way he walks, dragging out his words the same way he drags along his legs ..,. During school he recuperates from waking up around noon and starts going back to sleep around eight at night. Perhaps the main reason for this is that he seldom goes to bed. He is extremely susceptible to the bull session which frequently disrupts his schedule. Since he will not go to bed before his work is completed, he occasionally finds himself burning the oil into the wee small hours of the morn- ing ,... Started as a rhinie in Kinnan, but he and his roommate, Pringle, moved up to George after the first report. Somehow the two of them have it so timed that they can get to breakfast every morning just as the doors close. They never miss and get every minute of sleep in the morning that the School schedule per- mits .... Delbie is long, lanky. and easy-going. He often wears a cowboy hat, why. we don't know except maybe to remind himself of his mid-Western home, Kansas City, where girls are one hundred per cent better than the Easterners whom he met at the Prom.
