RICHARD GLASSER The purpose of this article is to reveal the truth in the secret life of R. Glasser. The green monster Ca 1955 six-cylinder Ford with a two- barrel carburetor and one exhaustj comes tearing down C10 miles per hourj North Shore Road and squeals into Cedar Level Drive, The car skids into a parking place and out jumps a tall, short, fat, thin young hoodlum wearing black motor- cycle boots, hat, jacket and denims. He runs to the locker room, changes into his ivy league suit, shirt, tie and socks, brushes his hair out of a duck tail, puts on his sunglasses, picks up the school books he had left there the night before Qnever take home a book is his mottoj, and walks out. He then proceeds to the senior study hall where at eight-thirty he relates to his classmates the statistics of the previous night's drags. i This is a typical morning in the secret life of R. Cfor racingj Dick Glasser. Seriously though, Dick is a real asset to the graduating class of '59, Contributing to all of his classes and working for the beneit of the school, Dick continually maintains an honor roll average. He is always in the center of all activities, be they in fun or in seriousness. Q lr 'Stix uv-Z -Y FREDRIC BRUCE GOLDBERG VVhen Fred entered the Norfolk Academy three years ago, lVilson High's loss was Academy's gain. The Academy gained a boy that excelled in scholastic aptitude while at the same time added greatly to any group. Frequently laughing and habitually cheerful, Fred is enlightening to all who know him. In Fred. one clearly sees an individual who is enjoying life and receiving the benefits of a gay existence. Quite the lady's man, he has that dashing appearance as he dashes about in his Ford convertible. At the present his romancing necessi- tates occasional week-end excursions to Richmond, with a report the following Monday on his - shall we say - ad- ventures. In all seriousness Fred has been a definite asset to the class of '59. His contributions of enthusiasm and friendship have made him a popular and accepted member of the class, and he will long be remembered by his classmates for the phrase he made immortal, But, Sir. you're picking on me.

Tr1- al-:l-vxt I na ' '....:x -lf DAVID BOWMAN David has been at the Academy for two years, and during that time he has proved to be both a gentleman zmcl ai scholar. The members of the senior class will long remember llznve for two momentous reasons: Cll his keen sense of humor and Q21 his red Mercedes 300. However these are only 11, few of the notable reminiscences that will keep Dave's name immor- tal in the annals of Academy history. One of David's unusual talents is that of originating unique ideas. Last year when we were stuck for 21 theme for the jim- ior Senior, Dave immediately came up with a solution. Ile suggested that we tear clown the walls of the gym and call our theme Jungle Night at the Academy. Seriously, Daveis sense of humor and gentlemanly manner have been a priceless contribution to Form Vl. We the grad- uating class of '59 are proud to have David as a member of our organization. W N fl I I L 1 Jia -I Jw' 1' 'C ' in 5? s' ISAAC GLASSER A short, stocky figure darts into senior study hallg Are we going to have a quiz in history tomorrow? this apparition frantically asks. If the answer to this question is in the af- firmative, the figure will go into needless agony and rantings on the evils of pop quizzes. You know by now, of course, that I'm talking about the one and only Zack Glasser. Zack sees - with his long-range specs on - three sides to life: school, social, and business. If y0u're in search of a fast way to make a million dollars on the stock market, Zack's the man to handle your investment problems. On the other hand, if you're looking for the answer to a question on the previous night's homework, here also is the man to see. A very consistent and conscientious worker academically, Zack fills his spare time composing music for whatever it isl, playing an excellent game of tennis, wrestling, and sign- ing autographs for his fan club, which is made up entirely of the opposite sex. Zack has become somewhat of a permanent installation at the Academy, and this being his last year at the school, there will be a very definite vacancy when he leaves. 15

BILLY IIOFIIEIMER Bird, as he is called by his classinates, is definitely the one who brought about the eoining of the phrase. Make hsiy while the sun shines, as he is an ardent aclvocate of tue phi- losophy of living the present to the ultimate and letting the future take care of itself, llowever do not let this fart lead you to believe that he is entirely devoted to pleasure for pleas- ure's sakeg for Billy has an excellent mind and, even though his grades are only average, the list of subjects he can talk intelligently about is almost endless, and he will long be re- membered for his classic argument as to whether or not AO:l. Billy has also contributed much to the Academy in the way of athletics, being a member of the varsity football, basket- ball and baseball teams. During his high school career 'LBird has made many friends, ranging from members of the Virginia Beach Police Force to employees of the Norfolk Municipal Airport. Billy is still undecided about his future, but I am sure that his keen mind and sharp wit will carry him successfully through any undertaking. 2. 7 il Wes I WADE JOHNSON Wade doesn't say much, so we won't either. When he does talk, it's to the point, and his genuineness of character has quickly communicated itself to the Class of '59, which Wade joined just this year. As in his speech, so in his action, VVade progresses to the point he is headed for with conscientious steadiness. He will turn aside for a joke, and is just as good at taking one as pro- moting one. This year, there is talk of The Lost Class of '59 but cer- tainly, with Yvade as one of our number, it is not likely that we will share such a fate. 17 , 11. 9 ll
