ANTHONY FREDERICK von WENING Entered Sth form: Chess Club 8, 9, 10: Rifle Club 8, 9, 10, 11: Glee Club 12: Ledger 10, ll, 12: Arrow 9, 10, ll, 12: Tennis 8. 9, l0C. l1C, 12C. Honorable Mention 8. Rusty, who entered Country Day in the sixth form is one of the few musically- minded members of the Senior Class. Being a jazz enthusiast, he has written the jazz column in the Ledger for the past two years. He really knows his artists and titles, and he can play the piano very well himself. His athletic ability shines in the spring, at which time he is a mainstay of the varsity tennis team. In his Senior year he also served as assistant manager of the football team. Rusty, one of the driving members of the class, has been commend- ed by his classmates for getting himself out of several traffic jams . At any rate the old green Buick will be missed on the parking lot next year, when Rusty will be attending Yale University. lm GEORGE WILLIAM WEGMANN Entered 9th form: Rifle Club 9, 10: Art Club 9, 10, 12: Auto Mechanics 10, 12: Football 10, 11C, l2C: Track 10, 1lC, 1ZC: Hockey 10, 1lC. l2C. George, or Bill, has been recognized as one of the outstanding athletes of the Senior Class. He came to Country Day in his freshman year and since that time has won six major letters. In the fall he played guard position on the football team. In the winter season he proved to be a good shoveler as well as an excellent goalie on the hockey team. Spring has found Bill an important part of the recently revived track team. Since Bill is one of the few members of the class who do not drive a car, he may be seen tagging along with that prominent group, the so-called gun- ners . His home on upper Lake Drive has been the setting for many a grand stag party. George has Northwestern in mind. No matter what the college may be, Bill will fast become one of the more amiable un- dergrads on the campus.

WILLIS GREGORY SULLIVAN, IR. Entered 8th form: Glee Club 10, ll, 12: Rifle Club 8, 9, 10: Auto Mechanics 10, 12: Ledger ll: Football 10. llC, l2C: Hockey 10, ll. Bill, or Sully, came to Country Day in his freshman year. In his four years at the school he has been prominent in extra-cur- ricular activities including the glee club, rifle club, and auto mechanics. For his hard work in the tackle position he won the distinction of being elected to the All- Conference Second Team in his Senior year. After a winter season of fighting in Senior League basketball he joins the track squad as a weight man in the spring. Bill also maintains his fighting spirit in the classroom, where he has waged many a battle with a faculty member. Of course, the teacher always won, but Bill must be congratulated for his aggressiveness. Bill did, however, win many an argument with the freshmen, while he was serving as chairman of the initiation committee. So far, Bill is undecided as to the college question: but, wherever he goes, he has our best wishes. MARSHALL ALFRED STAUNTON Entered 12th form: Glee Club: Religious Discussion: Football 12: Varsity Hockey 12: Varsity Baseball 12. Marsh entered Country Day as a Senior this year and rapidly established himself as one of the most popular boys in the class. His amiable disposition and good- natured smile are always welcome as are his humorous remarks which, incidentally. are made at the most unexpected times. In the fall Marsh devoted his time and talent to varsity football. Winter found Marsh braving the elements on Mr. Church's hockey squad, and spring discovered Marsh out on the baseball nine. Besides these athletic accomplishments Marsh be- came a bulwark of the bass section of Country Day's glee club. Unless there is a change in plans, Marsh will probably en- ter Brown University next fall, where we are certain he will make as many friends as he has made here at C. D.

IOHN MCCONNELL WOOD Entered Kindergarten: Student Council 10, ll, 12: Art Club 8: Auto Mechanics 12: Glee Club 9, 10, ll, 12: Glee Club Manager 11, 12: Arrow 10, ll, 12: Arrow Advertising Manager ll: Arrow Editor 12: Ledger 11, 12: Baseball Manager, 11CM. IZCM: Publications 11, 12. Iohn is the only Titian-haired boy in the class of '47, but unlike most red-heads Iohn does not possess the proverbial short tem- per that legend attributes to them. When one thinks of Iohn, one immediately envi- sions a good-natured, reliable young man. His work on the business staff of the '46 and '47 Arrows pleased Mr. Devine and even P.W.W., when he saw the statements of profits and no losses. Iohn's outside interests are music,-classic and boogie,-les femmes fatales, and driv- ing. A staunch member of Senior Leagues, a manager of the C. D. nine, and a life- member as well as manager of the glee club, Iohn leads an all-round life at C. D. Brown University will welcome Iohn, when he arrives in Providence in September. RUSSELL GRIFFITH WINNIE, II Entered 10th: Glee Club 10, 11, 12: Rifle Club 10. 115 Ledger 12: Auto Mechanics 12: Gamboliers 11, 12: Baseball 11, 12: Vice President of Glee Club. Griff, or the self-appointed average boy , came to Country Day in his sophomore year. He is undoubtedly one of the most popular boys in the class, having made many friends in his brief career at Country Day. In the athletic line Griff has played varsity football, Senior Leagues, and var- sity baseball. He has demonstrated his vocal talent in both the glee club and that select group, the Gamboliers. He served as the vice-president of the glee club this past year. Griff has been one of the chief contributors to the popular luncheon con- versations, at the same time managing to eat his share of the meat allotment. In his spare time he may be seen giving his many female friends thrill-rides in his ever-shiny convertible. Next year Griff will probably be at Brown University: but, wherever he goes, C. D. will certainly miss his always-smiling face. r E
