BERNARD ANTHONE Born: October 4, 1922 -- Entered: September 1936 Basketball squad '39, Basketball team '40, Track squad '39. As the mother once said to her baby who was too near a hot stove, Bernie, Bernie! With a friendly handshake or slap on the back, this popular member of the Class of '40 has for four years introduced all newcomers to Nichols and to himself, immediately gaining for keeps their friendship and esteem. Although the recently acquired title of Class Pessimistn might imply a lack of foresight and ambition on his part, he has, on the contrary, gone far on the road to success in both the classroom and gymnasium. Constant plugging has made Bernie's name a frequent addition to the honor list, while this same hard work has greatly impressed the athletic coaches. Almost any wintry afternoon he may be seen shooting baskets with other members of the basketball squad, while spring sees him a member of the track squad, faithfully running the ever-increasing laps under the watchful eyes of his coaches. Nichols will certainly miss this all-round boy when he leaves for college next year. Bernie plans to enter the University of Pennsylvania, preparatory to entering his father's furniture business. ROGER PLUNKETT ARNOLD Born: December 31, 1921 - Entered: September 1938 Football team '38, '39, Basketball team '39, '40, Track team '39. Although Roger has attended Nichols for only two years, he has become one ofthe best known, most popular members of his class. His pleasing personality plus being tall, blond, and handsome, seems to provide him with great attention from the weaker sex. Having been voted the biggest heartbreaker, Rog has had to absorb much abuse during the past year with that broad grin and triumphant sense of humor. . Rog's forte has always been athletics, and since his introduction into Nichols from St. 1oseph's, where he had previously shown preeminence, he has greatly aided Coach Waterman's eleven for the past two years. During the most recent season, Rog switched from end to tackle, showing even greater ability in that position. He has also figured importantly as a forward on the basketball team and as an outstanding hurdler and shot- putter of the track team. But Rog's faculty in athletics by no means indicates an incapacity for his studies. In fact, it should be mentioned that he has stood high above average scholastically since he entered Nichols. Next year, Nichols is certain to miss a consistently good performer when Roger leaves for Yale.
