THOMAS HARDEN EIGHMY Born: .lune 22, 1937 ' Entered, September, 7951 To scan multitudinous themes and choose unerringly the most appealing for our literary journal is a task to tax the most critical of minds. Tom's appoint- ment to the coveted Gleaner Editorship and his success in that post stem from a superb verbal aptitude and writing ability, the prime assets of an English scholar-par excellence. Tom generously shares his talents with the News as its Alumni Editor. As a freshman, Tom surprised the school by winning the General Information Test, an unprecedented feat for a third former. Not only a scholar, Tom is an indefatigable representative of the Charities Committee. With his im- aginative mind, subtle humor, and solid scholastic ability, Tom will become an educated engineer at the college of his choice.

GEORGE RAYMOND EMPSON, III Born: August 2l, 7937 Entered: September, 7952 Fifteen, ten, five-he's over for his third T. D. today! booms the loudspeaker with gratifying regularity. The eighty yard kick-off return, the quick drive for the basket, and a deer-like 220 won for this nine-letter man the captaincy of the track team and both the Jack James Football Trophy and the Lehigh Track Trophy. But many are unaware of Ray's achievements off the field. A superior student, he frequently achieves honors, a popular leader, he is on the Student Council and ably heads the Dance Committee, and as a sophomore Ray won the Yale Award for outstanding character and scholastic performance. Along with a certain poet, we too can say to all the world, 'This was a man'!
