Quiz 'Em on the Air Team Red Cross WILLIAM MCPHERSON Bill, a member of the Red and Black staff for four years, was in his senior year associate editor of the paper and editor of the Pen. He took the place of Dave Darbro as the leading voice in the first tenor section of the Glee Club and was also active in the presentations of the Prompters Club. ln Virgil Bill became interested in poetry and, being Bill, cultivated this interest, bringing forth a series of verse efforts in a Red and Black column called Mads Almanac.

Equiiation is one of Bill's many hobbies. On weekends he can be seen around town, wear- ing a ten-gallon hat, western boots, and a most colorful shirt. lndeed, he tried, at the begin- ning of the year, to wear a different exotic shirt to school every day, but by the end of November he had exhausted the ingenuity of the shirtmakers.

He appeared in last year's Prompt- ers Club production, Brother Rat, and this year was in charge of electrical problems connected with Bernardine. He won the major P in wrestling his senior year. l AND WHEN HE WALKS THROUGH THAT DOOR it I Goethe's extensive knowledge of ultra-violet light and the effects it creates aided the Stu- dent Council in creating a false sky for the Christmas dance.

A member ofthe Varsity Club for three years, he was elected treasurer in his senior year, in which he also turned his attention to acting as a member ofthe Bernardine cast. Steve is an extraordinarily keen student of chemistry and physics. Especially interested in theory, he nevertheless waxed intensely prac- tical when he had to gather up five pounds of mercury he had accidentally spilled on the laboratory floor. His penchant for argument resulted in his classmates' dubbing him Socrates. ONCE MORE-I'LL EXPLAIN IT ONCE MORE . . . Red Glee Reichel Award 25
