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

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

ROBERT GOODMAN After 8:30 on any week day, the wise clear the streets leading to Norfolk Academy. The reason for this strange phenomenon is that at any moment the green bomb might tear into the parking lot. Undoubtedly, before the car rolls to a complete stop, a bright-eyed fellow with a pile of books under one arm will appear, jump the chain, and head for the dank Academy basement yelling, Hey 'Batf did you get the physics?', '4Rob is always ready to voice his opinion on any sub- ject, especially the unfairness of homework, tests, or grades. However, despite this injustice Rob manages to keep an honor roll average. Rob's voice may also be heard in bleachers at almost any athletic contest. Bob is a serious young man, and a hard worker. VVe expect him to go far, travelling by way qf Dartmouth. 'I 1 MU ,aoram Qatar cttw First of all, It should be said that Greg is certainly one of the nicest Hguysl' that ever walked through an Academy door. There isn't one thing that he wouldnlt do for you and it is very sure that not only old N.A. but also the metropolis of Virginia Beach will lose a great asset when he goes off to Stetson University in Florida this fall. Unfortunately, Greg's career in sports has been re- stricted by a back injury suffered during a football game in his sophomore year, but it is a certainty that great things will come from Henry during this year's soccer and track season. Though he had a rather hard year with biology, he has gotten along better than satisfactorily with the rest of his subjects. Finally, I feel that any biographic sketch of g'Greg would not be complete if it didn't mention his prowess in the ancient art of sophistry, especially in the automo- tive field. This classmate of ours has more uncles with cars powered by Corvette engines than there are Cor- vette engines in existence. He will entertain you for hours with these tales unless someone interrupts by mentioning his other favorite subject - girls. 17
