THOMAS CARPENTER McicARTHUR Born: February 73, 7937 Entered: September, 7947 lt's hard to imagine the Senior Class without Tom MacArthur, whose delight- ful levity and sparkling witticisms have lightened the burden on many a tiring day. Possessed of a booming voice, Mac has put it to varied use in terrorizing Junior School study hall delinquents, amusing his friends with tolk ballads, and making announcements that at last can be heard. Besides being President of the Glee Club and Chairman of the Hockey Dance Committee, Tom has won three varsity letters in soccer, coached and captained the fencing team, and nimbly hurdled and high jumped to fame on the track team. His wit, self-con- fidence, and ingenuity in unexpected fields will amuse his college acquaintances.

No, not the Green Hornet, just Chan in his green Ford headed for home after a hard day. Chan, so devil-may-care when cruising the countryside, is really a quiet, pleasant character when hitting the books. Apparently, Mr. Verrill's principles have had great ettect on Hatch as he has spent several summers relaxing in the Canadian woods. However, if one headed over the Bridge for Canada last summer, he could see a tall, blond figure in blue standing at the ticket booth-Collector Maguire, Nichols' answer to inter- national cooperation along our border. Conscientious is the word for Hatch, as those who try to hide in his back seat find out to their regret. Luck, Chan! 25

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.

WALTER FRANKLIN MAISCHOSS, JR. Born: May 2, I937 Entered: September, I949 Since entering Nichols in I949, Walt has established himself as a hard-work- ing student and an adept athlete. In football, he is renowned for his precise centering, clean blocking, and hard tackling. Assuming the role of goalie for the hockey team during the winter, Maisch drew wild praise for his sensational net-minding, and when spring arrived, he stepped up to the pitcher's mound to hurl his specialties. Wally climaxed a successful career on the News' staff this year with an appointment as Co-circulation Manager. When he raises his voice in his study hall, quiet prevails immediately, for Walt has the respect of classmates and underclassmen alike. Maisch's conscientious effort and sense of humor will be appreciated on any college campus.

PHILIP EDWARD McNAlRY Born: March 6, I937 Entered: September, 7950 Nichols football opponents would be amazed if they could see Captain McNairy off the gridiron. Phil, a rugged terror when turned loose on the football field, is in reality one of the most gentle and good natured members of our class. He'll always stand still while classmates cry on his shoulders. In addition to doing a fine iob as captain of football and as a miler in track, Phil, as a defenseman on the hockey team, has broken up more plays than we could shake a stick at. The Glee Club and Charities Committee have also benefited from Phil's generous and cooperative spirit. Nichols' fighting deacon will be a sure bet on the college campus.
