For every stu- dent is a part of the school aswell as an individual, and thus one's death affects the entire Academy. ln the summer before our Senior year, lohn Leslie Williams '61, died in a bicycle accident. During his two years at Andover, he showed himself to be outstand- ing in high character, one of the most courteous, considerate, and unselfish of Andover men. lack Williams entered Andover as a lunior in September, 1957, from the Lexington Massachusetts lunior High School His lunior year was spent at Williams Hall, his Lower Middle year in Fay House. Last year he finished on the Second Honor Page 1 O Roll for the Spring Term. He was Vice-President of the Audio Club, and an unusually enterprising Worker with the Audio-Visual De- partment. He was in charge of the sound effects for Coriolanus. During the summer of 1959, he embarked on a cross-country bi- cycle trip alone, intending to visit his roommate in Colorado. Some time in the evening of August 2 he was killed, apparently having been run into by some truck or automo- bile. Of lack Williams, Mr. Benedict said: ln my opinion We have lost one of the finest and most promising boys in school, one Whose ideals and energy and intellectual curio- sity were strong grounds for predict- ing a very distinguished career.
