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

Born: January 2, 1924 Entered: September 1935 Bom: July 9, 1921 Entered: September 1937 JOHN BRADY Succer Squad '39s Soccer Team '40g Hockey Team '39, '40, '41g Charities Committee '39, '40, '41, Chairman '-415 Assemblies Committee '39g News Board '39, '40, '41, Editor-in-Chief '4lg VERDIAN Board '38, '39, 'fllg Cleaner Board '40g Operetta '36, '37g Student Council '41g Honors '36, '37, '39. 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.

Born: June 30, l922 Entered: September 1938 Born: November 27, l923 Entered: September 1938 LOUIS SUTTON FUNKE Dramatic Club '38, '39. When Louis came to Nichols in 1937 he brought his camera with him, and ever since has been seen at all Nichols sports events putting the infernal machine into action. Lou couples this pastime with a love of boating-a combination which by rights should bring some rather interesting results. Although not given to much talking, he has never- theless a creditable knowledge of the Sem's most beautiful charmers, and ofthe high spots worth hitting in any fair-sized town. And who has not watched with envy as Lou drove out of school every day in a handsome Buick convertible at 2:15 on the dot! Lou will go from Nichols to U. B., where he plans to add the suffix. M.D., to his name. LEWIS RICHARD GOODMAN Football Squad '39g Football Team '40g Track Squad 739, '40. For the past three years since we first met him, Lewis has shown himself to be a hard, steady worker. Not necessarily the best in any thing, he belongs to that class of diligent students who reach their goal through nothing but toil. As material proof of this, we observe Lewis' playing a strong game of football as the team's regular tackle. The Track Team none the less bcneli ted by his good ability, and for still further proof, one need only look at the certification lists, where we find his name consistently. Lewis anticipates further learning for later experience at either Cornell or Michigan. Wherever he goes, we are convinced that he will prove capable of surmounting any difficulties he may meet.
