C2 ,YO ,t BOB HALLER Above the din of a home-made two-speaker stereo- phonic high-hdelity phonograph, the faint scratch of a pen may be heard as Bob Haller lists his reasons for not doing his homework. Although he doesn't seem to be worried about anything, his chief concerns are for his record collection, his week-end dates, and his old Dodge, which he is trying to sell to a local museum. His congeniality and easy-going disposition make him well liked by his fellow students: and his interests in school include the tennis team, the Science Club, and the mu- sic honors program. Bob is an ardent advocate of the philosophy of living the present to the ultimate and letting the future take care of itself. This is evident in his wild driving habits and his frequent incomplete homeworks. However, he never seems to have any trouble getting a date, ahead of time or at the last minute. Bob's plans for the future are undecided Cas usualj and, although no one knows whether or not he will be successful, everyone is sure that he will be happy. , 6 .ff K ,eff ,QW XXW MICHAEL HORSTMAN On a dark and wintry afternoon, we see our friend .vfike running laps on the tennis courts, wearing his flashy soccer spikes and a tan camel-hair Q'KBut, honest, it's warmlul sport coat. Mr. Tucker jogs out of the main building just in time to see the courts being shredded by Mike's spikes. 'I'hat'll be enough of that, Mikef' grimaces our worthy tennis coach. Hliut, Sir, I gotta get in shape, don't I? pleads Mike. Seriously, Mike doesnlt run laps on the tennis courts, but he manages to stay in good enough shape to excel both in soccer and tennis. Having played three years of each sport, he is the captain of the tennis team and co- captain of the soccer team. Aside from these notable athletic achievements, Mike, who is a three-year man at the Academy, is a gentle- man and a scholar. He is a member of the Monogram Club and is President of the History Club. Another honor that he has attained is that of becoming a Semi- finalist in the Merit Scholarship Tests. Mike hopes to attend VVest Point, and we are sure that he will be as much of an asset to that school as he has been to the Academy. 18

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

HOWARD MARTIN Who is the character in the hall that is invisible when he tums sideways S the same fellow whose slow drawl and sharp wit keep his classmates hopping in senior study hall? The individual I'm talking about is, of course, the one and only Terror of Princess Annef' Howard Martin. His tall, angular frame has become a school trademark - both in athletics and academics. Howard was immediately accepted by the student body when he came to the Academy from Princess Anne two years ago. His dexterity in schoolwork, basketball, and baseball was quickly recognized. He has maintained steady honor roll grades while doing an outstanding job playing center in basketball and first base in baseball. He has lettered in baseball and is looking forward to be- ing first string in both sports this year. Howard thinks he will probably major in law, and will go to W.8cL., Cornell, or Duke. Wherever he goes, Howardls easy- going personality and quick wit will make him an im- mediate success. RICHARD MARSHALL Richard Coke Marshall, Jr., known to his class- mates and friends as Marsh,,' has many characteristics all of his own. For example, he can usually be found: in a pair of size eleven shoes, on the telephone, under the watchful eyes of the librarian, behind a large orange drink, and beside Jay Fyfe. He is always armed with a valid gripe about an injustice which has been forced upon him and will defend it anytime he can acquire a debating partner. In the field of women, Marsh is without peer. He can always get a date, many times end- ing up with more than one. In his two years at the Aca- demy, he has won many friends with his smile and per- sonality. Rounding out any group with which he is as- sociated, Marsh is a tremendous asset to the Class of 1960. 19
