BILL COX Several years ago our noted professeur of geometry, while questioning Bill about several mysterious theo- rems, referred to him as a Virginia Beach sandcrabf' a name which has stayed with Bill since then. Crab', seems to have an easy-going attitude about life, in gen- eral, and termpaper deadlines, in particular. However, he is not lax in his studies, for at present he is in the top half of our class and a staunch member of senior study hall, where all of us enjoy his original adages and unquotable quips. Socially, Crab holds the distinction of being the only man in our class who with his date watched the sun rise after the junior-senior prom. Bill is also an avid hunter, a speedboat enthusiast, an excel- lent wrestler, and a line fellow around the school. I am sure that in whatever field he enters Bill will be both well-liked by his contemporaries and successful in his endeavors. F OY DEVINE Foy, known to us as mole or wolf,,' the latter being more true to form, has several ambitions in life. They are to eat, gain weight, stay happy, date, and play football. Although he has been at the Academy only two years, he has received many distinctions. Among these is being the first Bulldog ever to be ap- plauded upon entering chapel. He is the Second FOI'Il'1,S idol, and he used not to be satisfied with his lunch un- less he had two milks and desserts - now it takes three. On the serious side though Foy is a real aset to the class of l60. He has a very pleasing personality and is well liked by everyone. He has received many honors among which are being an honor student and captain of the first undefeated football team the Academy has ever boasted. 15

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-

BRIAN DONNELLY It is third period in Room A Senior Study Hall. On the back row sits Brian Donnelly, a predominantly quiet boy, with a French reader decorating the desk be- fore him. However, he is not thinking of French fwhich is his favorite subject?j, but of the coming week-end when he becomes S'Low-Gearf' Donnelly behind the wheel of his dashing Oldsmobile - as fine a piece of machinery that has ever rolled off the assembly line in Detroit - so Brian thinks, at any rate. On the serious side, Brian's interests include hunt- ing, fishing, water-skiing, mathematics, and last, but by far not the least in the eyes of Brian, girls. Wle can be reasonably sure that some of the experiences encoun- tered by Brian during hunting and water-skiing will be remembered for many years. Among other things, our hero possesses a keen sense of humor, and while he is usually happy, he often becomes disgusted with the cur- riculum of his Alma Mater, and oftentimes makes side remarks to that effect. Grade-wise, Brian usually maintains an average sufficient to keep him in Senior Study Hall, which shows him to be scholastically ca- pable. Brian plans to enter the University of Virginia, where he will study architecture. f A 7 UMW! , ,A L ,bfi V VJ, Cow 4, ,t ffl he A I z url! M7 H g ff ,, L f W ,wer ,4 , J' My 1 N X .

JOHN FYFE John, or better known as the Jap, can usually be seen riding in his green and white convertible with the radio playing loudly and a carefree smile on his face. This scene sums up the Jap's,' life out of school. He has a wonderful sense of humor, and although he is quiet, he is very popular with everyone, When he is in school the Jap is a very conscientious student. He studies ardently and shows great enthusi- asm for athletics. This is evident by his various compe- tition in varsity sports. Jap will suffer a terrific setback next year, when he enters the Naval Academy. He will have to say good-bye to his car and his harem. Norfolk Academy's loss, how- ever, will be the Naval Academyas gain. 16
