WILSON BROWNING If some cold December day you chance to observe someone preparing to attach a water ski tow-rope to his sail boat, and hear a cry, 4'It can be done, as a sixty- mile gale sweeps him out to sea, fear not, for it probably is none other than Wilson Browning. Seriously though, Wilson is known to be a fine master of the helm, as he has victored in numerous regattas including the State Junior Championship. However, Will's talent doesn't cease as a man of the sea, for he fares equally in music. Before coming to the Academy Wilson participated in the Virginia All State Band on drums, and though we have no musical groups, one may sometimes hear a Cuban cadence ris- ing from the back of math class. Although not the best, Will's,' tennis abilities are above average. Anyone will admit that his unharnpered dialogue enlightens any game, especially when he drives his backhand into the net or sends a new tennis ball swamp-bound. Wilson's future will probably be as bright or brighter than his past due to the fact that Wilson is, as Dr. Kep- char aptly puts it, a gentleman and a scholar. sf- 4, se HARRY BROWN At 8:30 in the morning at the Academy one hears the squeal of tires at the beginning of Cedar Level Land and the B.R.C.,' fBrown's Red Convertiblej comes flashing into the parking lot, stealing McWilliam's park- ing place, and nearly smashing Wert's door to bits. A young gentleman hops out of the car, laughs at McWil- liams, and strolls toward chapel adroitly tying his tie with one hand while holding a stack of books in the other hand. Seriously though Harry is quite a jovial guy and is one of the unforgettable in the class of '60, I don't think the senior class would be quite the same if Harry wasn't around day after day and year after year. When I think back over my school days, my memories most certainly include Harry. 13

FRED BAYDUSH Five short years ago, Fred came to Norfolk Academy. He was an anemic ninety-seven pound weakling. To- day, that ninety-seven pound weakling has tumed into a two hundred pound powerhouse, referred to as the Bcast', by his intimate friends. Fred not only excels in football, but also has been on the starting basketball team for the past two years. Fred is known to take an interest in other sports, predominantly girls. Fred is a member of the Monogram Club, and the History Club. whom you be pertain- other busi- of '60, and I am sure that he will be a huge success in any future On the more serious side, Fred is a person can rely upon in any situation, whether it ing to school work, school activities, or any ness. Fred has been a real asset to the Class endeavors. BOB BALL Bally, as he is known to the numbers of the senior class, is the world-renowned traveler of our class. Dur- ing his fifth fomi summer he made an elaborate tour of Europe, thus familiarizing himself with names and places that he knew he would surely meet in Mr. Tuck- er's Sixth Form History class. Bob, though seemingly quiet and reserved, really lets his hair down at parties and is usually at the center of any situation at any social function. On the serious side, Bob is as good a friend as anyone could find. Bob also makes friends very easily. He is a member of the Church of the Good Shepherd and he has held many offices in his church district including the presidency of his Episcopal district. Bob is a member of the business staff of the annual and does a fine job. He hopes to attend the School of Business at the University of Virginia and after gradua- tion to become a Certified Public Accountant. Though he is quiet and unpretentious, he leaves a feeling of good humor and lasting friendship with those with whom he comes in contact. X 4 12 5 I 5- vp

JOHN CARRAWAY The story you are about to read is trueg the name has not been changed because the person would be identi- fied anyway . . . A tall form moves swiftly across the athletic field, turns left at the fence, and is soon lost in the distance. This is John Carraway, returning home after another profitable? fpunctuation John'sQ day at N.A. The speed with which he leaves school has, in rare instances, drawn comments to the effect that John does not like to lin- ger near his alma mater when he is not required to do so. John has never answered to these comments, ob- viously finding them absurd . . . An enthusiasm for life, a rarely-found sense of fair- ness, and a keen understanding of human nature com- bine in John to form a truly individualistic spirit. We feel that this individualism, along with sound scholar- ship, will make john an asset to whatever college he attends fwe hope, moreover, that the college of his choice will have a good Department of Water Skiingj. NICK COHEN fBeatj Nick Cohen -- co-editor of the annual, foot- ball player, beatnick - developed a bad case of beat- nickism, as evidenced by his beard fwhen he can slip out of the house unobservedj and by the fact that his term paper is on the beatnicks. Voted the senior who most needed a shave, Nick could be classed as the Larry Lockwood of the class of '60 - a non-conformist. For a person with so many widely diversified inter- ests, Nick gets surprisingly good grades, even managing to squeeze onto the senior study hall list. Nick has been around old N.A. for an awfully long time and has proved to be a great asset to the class of '60, With his personality he can't help being a success at W. 8: L. and afterwards. 14-
