JAMES ALFRED BOURNE Born November 77 7936 Entered September 7949 Many is the hapless student who has found to his dismay at the end of a free period that his time has been completely wasted in laughing at Jtms wlttlcisms Hilarious interpretations by our satlrlst of various sublects from courses to kzsses have often amused participants in after school sessions For two years .lim has turned his knowledge of mechanics to good use as a member of the technical staff of the Dramatics Club While he takes an active interest in the out of doors Jim s philosophical deductions drawn from nature differ widely from those of a certain English teacher His acute comm nts while not of great length and his aplomb in argumentation have enabled hum to maintain skull fully his position in any discussior- Drafnatncs Club 53 54 ROBERT DOUGLAS CAMPBELL JR Born March 37 7937 Entered September 7947 Bob has distinguished himself through many accomplishments the culmma tion of which was his accession to the exalted position of Co editor of the Nichols News Two years in the Forum have revealed the same trait of enlight ened mulishness which has characterized his espousal as editor of the cause of freedom ot the press Bob has demonstrated the range of his knowledge by win nmg the General Information Test and the Football Poll Excellung in the field of English RDC has spent two years on the Gleaner board as well as the News staff. Of course Bob is one of the original Bohemians of the fencing team. We are sure that next fall our non-conformist supreme will heckle lta their advantagel his associates at the college of his choice.
