MILES DENNIS BENDER Born: February 26, 7937 Entered: September, 7948 ln 1948, Miles brought his quiet, courteous manner to our class and to Nichols. The following year he began his career as a powerful football lineman. His physical fitness and ability have assisted him in his climb upward to the varsity teams. This year Miles helped give the varsity eleven the depth and support which are always necessary for a victorious team. During the spring season he may be seen driving hits on the diamond. Miles also manages to incorporate the Glee Club into his heavy scholastic schedule. During his three years as a vocalist, Miles has used his vibrant low voice as a leader of the small bass section. Next year in college, Miles will major in economics.

But these creative thoughts are not in vain, for Bruce obviously is one of those destined to build that better mousetrapf' Anything that is an adventure intrigues him, from extracting and mounting a dog skeleton to the art of trick-photography and a journey to Mexico on five-minutes notice. Despite his apparent restlessness and preoccupation with the esoteric, Bruce has one of the easy-going and care- free dispositions of the Senior Class. Happy journey next year, Bruce.

Q, JERRY ROBERT BURNS Born: September 73, 7936 Entered: September, 7954 Last fall Jerry Burns, an Irishman with a big Irish grin, came to Nichols. With his good humor and congeniality, Doc started winning friends from the first day he graced our campus, and he became a part of Nichols life with no trouble at all. But a knack for making friends is only one of Doc's assets, for he has made quite a name for himself on the athletic field. Love of sports, natural coordina- tion, and just plain hard work have brought him success on the gridiron and on the basketball court. Furthermore, Jerry plays the guitar in several bands and has appeared on radio and television. If genuine good-nature and sincerity are any criteria for success, Doc can't miss.

JOHN WILLIAM CRYER Born: August 74, 7937 Entered: September, 7947 With trusting optimism, Trey decided to face the rigors of Nichols life eight years ago, Endowed with tremendous enthusiasim and spirit, he joined the elite circle of cheerleaders and subsequently became one of the finest Nichols has produced. Not content with striving to create organized uproar on the sidelines, Trey also wished to reveal his athletic ability. The result: soccer and varsity hockey in 7955. As a member of the Dance Committee, Trey used his powers of organization to help plan and carry out the successful Fall Sports Dance. Among a class of sartorially significant seniors, Trey often flaurits an extraordinary ward- robe of mixed chartreuse, fuschia and Scotch plaid. We are certain that Trey will be noticed at St. Lawrence next year.
