BEAU WALKER fCymbals crash!!! Trumpets blarelllj Enter Montroville Bowen Walker III, famed world traveler. Beau or Walk has resided in French Morocco, Spain, and - yes, the center of Westem civilization, Virginia Beach, We hear that his most recent home in the wildemess of upper Princess Anne County was nearly washed away in the last storm. From Walk himself, we hear less of scholarly activities and more of, uet us say, extracurricular activities. The truth of what he says is corroborated by the fact that he is seen at most social activities. Walk'sl' black Volkswagen may be considered as his trademark and his high-pitched laugh is often heard in senior study hall. He has participated in football, soccer and baseball, excelling in all three. At this point the reader should stop to reconsider what has been said, for Beau is a paradbx. He maintains the average necessary for senior study hall privileges, but is rarely seen studying. Walk ranks with the best in history courses and consistently makes astute comments about world affairs, par- ticularly in the Middle East. His language ability is undisputed, since he speaks French and Spanish fluently. There is little doubt that Walk will enter a field which he enjoys. If he combines his numerous abilities with ambition, his chances of success in whatever field he enters will be very great. DOUG WOOD Doug Wood may be called one of the truly versatile members of our stalwart class, hewn of the renaissance tradition of men. His leadership is in evidence by his placement in the class stand- ings. When Doug provides his observations in class, everyone present takes notice of what he has to say. For instance, when we had a difficult problem in physics, Doug solved it with a few well-timed comments. About the only time he is left out of class discussions is when the subject concerns who is the possessor of the fastest car. Doug doesn't claim to have won too many victories with his two cylinder Rambler on the Atlantic Avenue drag strip. However, Doug has had more than his share of success with girls. We can remember last year he dated three different Beach lovelies - all in one night. On the positive side of the ledger, Doug is gifted with quite a bit of leadership. Last year he was president of his church fellowship, and this year he is president of the entire tidewater district. Besides this, he plays varsity basketball and tennis and he is Co-Editor of the Orange and Whitef' Doug wants to go either to the Naval Academy or to M.I.T. We can do no more than to wish him to continue the success he has had here at the Academy. 20

inutes of Senior Class Meeting June 10, 1959. Purpose: to decide on future date for reunion ten years hence. Seriousness of meeting slightly hindered by the fact that we had just been graduated. As usual Bruce Price came swinging in late, interrupting a game of chance between Fred Goldberg, Richard Glasser and the Bird.', Down the hall several latecomers could be heard whispering in strained voices. In here, in here, whispered Mike Smither. His cohorts, Doug VVo0d and Lar Lockwood, bore a small black auto on their backs. They succeeded in dumping it into the boiler room. Secdnds later Beau lValker came stomping down the hall. 'SOkay, who's the wise guy?,l Meanwhile, Bill Hofheimer had been interrupted from his card game long enough to open the meeting by giving a moving version of the Scriptures. An unexpected guest arrived who witnessed the reading. just as eflervescent Bobby Bennett, master of ceremonies, took over the meeting and began to speak, he was interrupted by Zack Glasser, who was describing a new song he had learned on the chords to Taze Hubard. 6'Like this,', said Zack, 'lBum bum bum bum, burn, bum bum, bum bum bum. These were accompanied with recurring rises and falls in emphasis. Hey, that's great,', wailed Taze. Bobby recommenced: Here we have one of the most outstanding seniors in the class. A person who has been my classmate for twelve years. He is the leader of the opposition to every land anyj factionf' At this, big Lar Lockwood stood up on the table, stretched out his arms, fingers extended, and all of a sudden the room became silent. 5 s. .
