i A.. A When the bell tolls at Norfolk Academy, we don't know whether it tolls for thee or not, but we do know that Bobby is at the other end of the bell rope -- and that you can set your watch by his tolling. And Bobby is as faithful as he is punctiliousg he is always willing to take on an assignment and carry it out to completion, or cheerfully ready to X Vx fluetttuummu 11. 43, do anyone a favor. Being notoriously good-natured, ,Que he is often at the receiving end of a practical joke, but he has never been known to take real offense. Bobby can, however, be credited with a little spoof- ing on his own account. Thinking to catch him nap- ping one day in class, Mr. Mac asked him the name of Shakespeare's wifeg without batting an eyelash, Bobby shot back, Marie Antoinette. We predict, that whatever Bobby's future course, he is destined it to live on the sunny side of life's street and spread it happiness around him. 'f . . ' w ROBERT CLOWER HANCKEL Frank Jacobs came to the Academy the first year that it opened, and has been here ever since. Big Jake as he is known to his friends, has developed over the years into an excellent athlete, as well as a good student. He plays tackle on the football team, basketball guard, and catcher on the baseball team. In addition to these accomplishments, he has as his hobby, horseback riding and is an excellent horseman.

He's the one who enlivens arduous stretches of study hall with off-the-cuff remarks, and lightens heavy class sessions of Pope and Swift with his own inimitable kind of satire. Not only does Charley have a humorous side, but also he has a more serious side. Though he has been side-lined by injury and sickness in many of the Acade-my's football seasons. he has done more than any other one student to keep up the spirits of the learns and the school throughout the year. He will be remembered for his pep rallies before games and his cheerleading at them. On the academic side, Charley's forte lies in writing. as evidenced by his two-year role in preparing the Orange and White. Charles plans to go on to W 81 L and a law career. We hope that he continues the tradition of humor and friendliness which he has CHARLES NE1I.soN COOPER Play ball - The whistle blows and George Grinnan is there. George has been a member of all three varsity teams and was a co- captain of the football team this past season. Although George stands only 5'9 tall he is a standout in athletics. He has held an office in nearly every organization in the school and at present is president of the Monogran Club. George is one of the most likeable boys you could meet. He is always willing to lend a helping hand to someone, even if it is a practical joke on them. A lot of jokes have been played on George lately. too. He has had a total of eight birthdays this year. Although he is not yet in college, he is working hard on his MA. lsn't that right, George?

E Q ' f l fx- i QQ, E F . A X xx VJ Robert Gardiner Shelly is Bob to everybody. President of the student body, his warmth, friendliness and cheerfulness bubble over and percolate down through the whole school. When Bob is serious about something, he really goes all the way, seeing whatever he undertakes out to the endg but when he relaxes, he really relaxes- with his feet stretched out into the next county. Somehow Bob's always on the ball, though, and can answer a question in class even when apparently asleep. No lover of dry and dusty scholarship, Bob is an authority on the classics of modern jazz and a versatile per- former on a number of instruments. Bob's plans for the future are not yet crystallized, but without question, wherever he goes, he will be surrounded by harmony. ROBERT GARDINER SHELLY ROBERT CLEWS WHEELER, JR. The term, one of the fellows , was never more aptly ustd than when applied to describe Rob Wheeler. There isn't a joke or a serious discussion in which he doesn't take a more than active part. The mystery of the caved-in Sixth Form door perhaps best illustrates this point. He is a well-rounded personality who is at every party, but who somehow always manages to get straight 90's on his grades. Rumor has it that he has six writers up in his room preparing his voluminous homework papers for him twenty-four hours a day. Seriously, Rob is the brain of the class and is making excellent grades consistently. Rob has had time this year to play football, basketball, and to sing in the Clee Club and undertake the responsibilities of being Vice-President of the student body. He is always ready to supply a shoulder to cry on, and a big hearty laugh to pep up any of his classmates who have met in disappointment with the opposite sex. Rob's going on next year to fields of wider en- deavor, and we know that he'll be a sparkplug for any group he finds himself in.
