STEPHEN KELLOGG Born: September I5 7937 Entered: September I947 It takes a certain intangible quality perhaps doggedness to stagger suc- cessfully through eight years of rigorous Nichols training. Steve is one of the few originals of the class who has made it. And somewhere along the way he acquired an enviable moth aptitude which later won him the secretaryship of the Math Club. Steves genuinely cheerful personality and social savoir-faire made him an obvious choice for the Green Key Committee. In athletics he has started for both the soccer and the tennis teams for two seasons. As Co-circulation Manager for the News Steve performs creditably under the ceaseless pressure of the varied activities. Steve plans to major in business administration in college.

Irwin, better known as Sonny, better known as Bowie, although one of the more easy-going members of the class, nevertheless devotes much of his time to school activities. He has been a determined member of both the football and basketball teams in addition to putting the shot for the Big Green in the spring. Bowie's firm belief in spare the rod and thus the child has made him a very popular lower school study hall proctor. In today's pessi- mistic world, Irwin's optimistic attitude toward pressing problems will do much to lighten the burdens of his future acquaintances.

JAMES LEWIS HOWARD Born: June 9, 7937 Entered: September, 7957 Ask Louie, is the usual reioinder to many an anxious question concerning anything from football to physics. And Jim has more than amply iustified this trust in both his mental and athletic prowess. His uncanny attainment of honors every year since his entrance in the third form has gratified his teachers and amazed his classmates, while his accumulation of eight major letters in three years on the varsity football, basketball, and baseball teams has made him a favorite of coaches, players, and rooters alike. Jim's classmates recognized his superlative leadership when they elected him President of both the fourth form and Senior Class. His never-failing modesty in the light of his superior ability will make Jim a welcome personality at any college.

OLIVER PERRY JONES Ill Born: December 27, 7937 Entered: September, 7957 Leadership, scholastic achievements, a lengthy list of extracurricular activ- ities, six varsity letters, and a nice guy-What more can you ask? Yes, we're talk- ing of O.P., Vice-President of the Senior Class. Quite a versatile fellow, as one can see, Ollie is a member of the Math Club and Charities Committee, Art Editor of the VERDIAN, and recipient of an Honors prize last year, a fitting reward for his diligent study. Ollie is equally prominent on the athletic field, as proved by the number of varsity N's he has amassed in his few years stay at Nichols. With his most pleasant personality and ability to get things done expediently and correctly, we will not be surprised to hear of Ollie's future success.

44' 'F LAWRENCE MAXWELL LEVY Born: April 26, 7938 Entered: September, 7957 The year 7957 brought to Nichols one of our most active students. As Busi- ness Manager, Larry had the responsibility of handling the complicated financial affairs of the VERDIAN. Larry managed this position and all the others he held with great facility and a pleasant lack of officiousness. This year, he was also chosen a member of the Green Key Committee, on which he fulfilled his duties with his customary cheerfulness and amiability. ln addition, Larry was a member of the Glee Club, Forum, and Dramatics Club. His inexhaustable energy also led him to play varsity soccer. Although Larry's extracurricular schedule was an educae tion in itself, he found time to hit the books enough to achieve honors for three years.

GEORGE NELSON LOCKIE Born: October 28, 7937 Entered: September, 7947 Eight years ago a chubby, black-haired boy came to Nichols in search of the great Tree of Knowledge, and for eight years he has waxed strong on its nourishing fruit. However, a few of us think that for some time now the Tree has assumed for our embryonic Einstein the stark outline of a telephone pole, for George's erudition in the field of electronics has bewildered his classmates and won him the respect of his masters. Telephones, radios, electroencephalographs -he builds them all. But electricity does not occupy all of George's time. As halfback on this year's soccer team, he helped spark the Green through one of its most successful seasons. Our expert in electrodynamics should give any college a charge.
