ROLAND ESBY ESBJORNSEN Roland Esby Esbjornsen, we, the class of ' 55, dedicate our year book to you. You are graduating from Glassboro with us this June. We want our book to be a good-by present to you from the Senior Class. li would be foolish to even state here why we have valued your presence, for we have watched your uneasiness and embarrassment on frequent occasions when you were praised in the past. We are more than aware of the outstanding work you are doing for the handicapped. You have been applauded for your dedication to this job many times before. We appreciate the fine reputation you have built for the college with your clinic. We have enjoyed your teaching, your constant threat of summer school classes, and the well-worn declaration uttered in familiar gravel tones: Don ' t bother learning how many sheep came out of New Zealand in 1941! But most of all, on this page, we are just trying to say as simply and sincerely as we can: Thanks Esby for always being down to earth, an individual, a real friend — thanks for being Esby. We know we are going to miss Glassboro. We are sure we are going to miss you, its heart. Four

. JeeJ APPRECIATE MR. LESTER BUNCE— CLASS ADVISER Mr. Lester Bunce, our senior class adviser, has been a steadying hand to our class for four activity packed, hectic years. We have always been aware of his unobtrusive presence during those contro- versial class meetings, where he could pull us out of a difficulty with his slow-talking, clear-thinking arguments. The class has watched and appreciated his never failing attendance and assistance at our tire- some, last minute panic assembly rehearsals. It will be hard to for- get his easy-going portrayal of the poor old cow-poke in our Sophomore wild west show. That quiet, subtle humor had its time to shine when he rendered his few well chosen words at class banquets. We thank you for your comfortable relaxed aura of self-assur- ance. We thank you every minute when you have generously vol- unteered to give the Class of ' 55 a gentle push, a guiding hand, and quantities of thoughful good advice. DR. GEORGE HAUPT Dr. hiaupt, who has always appeared to us like a rosy cheeked, de-whiskered Santa Claus, would probably be shocked to be con- fronted by this un-scientific description of himself. As Senior Class adviser, although unpretentious and retiring to the casual observer, his quiet manner and methodical reasoning have been a stabilizing factor in the planning and carrying out of complicated class activities. The jolly little bartender, wrapped in a voluminous white apron, wiped the bar and polished the glasses endlessly during our Western Assembly — with mustachios glistening provocatively in the spotlight. But his portrayal of the bartender has been overshadowed time and time again by his real life portrayal of teacher and friend. Scientific Method be praised! ! CHARLES WALKER Mr. Charles Walker came to Slassboro in our Sophomore year and adapted himself to the new environment almost immediately by serving as guidance adviser. Although we broke many of his scheduled appointments or straggled in hours late, we have appre- ciated his patience, understanding, and hiarvard humor. The Class of ' 55 was so much impressed by this college teacher who could pass for a crew-cutted freshman, that we were happy to have him as class adviser. He has worked tirelessly for the class, but the height of his efforts came during the Circus Assembly. Dressed and made-up in a manner beffitting a hiarvard grad, he stood on the Glassboro stage and was serenaded as no man has ever been before. May his youth and jestful neckties entertain collge classes for many years to come. Five
