Editor of the Nichols News, chairman of the all-important Charities Committee-, etc., this prominent member of the Senior Class seems to have a finger in everything. Coming to us from the School of Practice, John's rise to fame has been marked by an imposing list of activities. And his performances on the Hockey Team as goalie have earned him a varsity letter for three successive years. Despite ,lohn's pressing school schedule, he seems to find time for outside activities, since he scores as Biggest Social Light among the seniors. J.B.'s Biggest Blul'fer attitude has helped to insure his popularity in the senior class. John is undecided as to where he will matriculate next year. WILBUR NEVIN CONLEY Pbotball Team '38, '39, '40, Basketball Team '37, '38, '40g Track Team '37, '38, '39, '40g Dance Committee '40,'4l. During Bud's first year at Nichols, he put himself on record by making the Varsity Basketball and Track Teams. He has been a member of each of these teams for the past four years, as well as playing Varsity Foot- ball for three of those four. Bud, as a member of the Dance Committee, was influential in organiz- ing a number of successful dances. Nosing out ahead in the Best Danc- er and Marry F irst titles on the senior ballot, Bud seems to be doing all right with the fair sex. Bud plans to enter the General Electric Training School next year, where he will undergo preparation for a job with the General Electric Corporation.

CHARLES PALMER BEAN .Soccer Squad '40g Dance Committee '40, '41, Chairman '41, News Board '40, '4lg VERIJIAN Board '39, '41g Gleaner Board '39g Dramatic Club '39, '40, Student Council '40, '41g Class Ojicer '39, '40, '4l: Honor Roll '36, '3 7. One of the real leaders of his Senior Class, Charlie took up his studies here as a F irst-fomler. He soon gained a reputation for his witticisms, which brightened many of Mr. Verrill's first period English classes: and who can forget his announcements at lunch? In the extra-curricular fields, our Vice-President has done more than his share. After serving two years on the Dance Committee, he assumed the Chairmanship this year. Charlie has been a member of the Student Council for two years, as well as serving on the boards of all the publica- tions, having edited the Alumni column of the News for the past season. Charlie's argumentative inclinations should stand him in good stead when he begins his law course al U. B. EDWARD TH EOPHILE BEER Football Squad '405 Gleaner Board '41, Coming to us only in his senior year, Ed has definitely impressed us and brought himself reward both in his schoolwork and elsewhere. Besides studies, we may contribute to Ed's credit skill in checkers and chessg The Embodiment of Concentration as he calls it. Ed, who certainly doesn't lack in regard to nutrition, again deserves praise, for be not only played on the 194-0 Football squad, but also is an excellent swimmer. Plans to further Ed's education will be completed at Harvard Uni- versity. Born: November 27, 1923 Entered: September 1935 Born: April 8, 1922 Entered: September 1940

WILLIAM FRANCIS CURRAN Football Team '40. Coming to us from St. Joe's last fall, Bill was one of the four Seniors to be with us only a year. As the football team shaped up, he gained a reputation as one of our fastest linemen and played from the guard position. Bill's social life leads us to the conclusion that his spare time is not spent entirely in study, in fact it leaves him no time for extra-curricular activities. Hailing from the fair city of Snyder, he is one of the few people fortunate enough to own a car, in which he appears each morning. Bill intends to enter Cornell to study Hotel Administration and it is super- fluous to say that he will be well received. CHARLES MORGAN EPES, JR. Soccer Team ,405 Dance Committee ,415 News Board '41g VERDIAN Board '41g Student Council ,415 President '41g Class Obmcer '41g Honors '40. Morg was first imbued with knowledge at Nichols in the Fourth Form. His career here at the start marred by a serious accident, he came back strong, and soon proved himself one of the brightest hopes of his class. He has received honor grades consistently, and was this year elected President of the Student Council. To keep up a front for this office, he bought some clothes, and consequently was voted Best Dressedl' on the senior ballot. Although he attained this position on the ballot, do not think he is afraid to get his hair mussed by athletics, for he played a flashy left-halfback on the soccer team. It's Princeton this fall for Morg. Bom: ,luly 13, 1922 Entered: September 1940 Bom: February 14, 1923 Entered: September 1938
