M YRON THOMAS GRUBHAM .-Xnd now presenting the other half of the Frontyard Philosopher twosome: Myron Grubham. From Blessed Sacrament to Prep is his success story and like his part- ner in crime, Donnelly, Myron has made his stay in Prep, a quiet and successful four years. His ambition in life is to sleep in past 6 :XM just once. His hobbies include cars, flying, and water sports. When irri- tated hc can be heard to mumble, Cars, cars always getting in my way. Once out ofthe clutches of the local jesuit institute, Myron plans to go on to Electronics, per- haps to invent a bigger and better electric chair. With Myron's ability to think out a problem, he will no doubt be a very suc- cessful success in life. THOMAS MICHAEL HACKETT Let's all go home during first period, says our next grad of the preparatory school for Prep's grads, St. joseph's. Tom has decided that life shall be filled with cooking, working on cars, women, and sleeping, all of which he claims are hobbies of his. Tom joined the Orphean Club 2, and spent the rest of his time at Prep putting up with punsters who said, Hey you, can you hack it? Otherwise Tom has plenty of time to drive his car over the hill and spend some of his sentence at the Mixer and the Names His serious ambition is either to write or to be an engineer. Both fields need energetic, steady men like Tom. DWAINE PAUL HARRINGTON Zeke isa Holy Rosary man who found the lure of a jesuit education irresistible. He arrived from the depths of West Seattle and soon made his name playing Soph-Frosh Baseball 1-2. His main ath- letic activity, however, has been intra- mural basketball. Besides being the leagues' top scorer for the last three years, Dwaine had the honor of being the only Sophomore on the All-Stars. He spent his spare time as a junior, yelling for the Pep Club and getting tonsorial trims from the faculty. His ambition is to make friends with everyone he meets, and to type faster than jacobson. We can see no reason why he shouldn't accomplish both of these goals. 23 , ,- ,V-,N-at-Q., 5 DAVID JAM ES HARRISON Quiet Dave zipped into Adelphia as a Frosh from St. joe's. l'nlike most Prep- sters, he says little and goes to work. This grim determination has made him one of the few three year Lettermen in his class. He earned his letter in Track for three years, and thus found a niche for himself in the Letterman's Club 3-4. His favorite saying, Don't mock, is the only thing a lot of people have heard frotn quiet Dave, but his magnificent writing style and com- mand of the English language have earned him a lot of recognition. Hobbying around with chess and stamps, has earned him the reputation of being studious, a quality he'll need if he's to recognize his ambition of being a nuclear physicist!

ALEXANDER THOM GRANT Abandoning the South's cause, Al ar- rived from the land of cotton in '52 and joined the ranks of Frosh. Memphis, Ten- nessee, was his former home and St. Anne's School there was his former grade school. Al probably has the greatest ambition of all the grads this year. He wants to be a ballet dancer with the Seattle Prep Band. On the serious side, Al likes fishing and his favorite saying is Nothing ventured is nothing gained. His activities at Prep in- clude Pep Club 3 and tooting a horn in the Prep Band 2. Al's real goal, however, is to join the ranks of engineers. Perhaps with his engineering knowledge he can return to Prep and build the band a soundproof practice room. - -: -r in ,i..+ , T? ie as ,2 GERALD MICHAEL GRANT Help! Thus we introduce Feet or to be more exact, jerry Grant. As soon as Christ the King gave him his parole Jerry headed toward Adelphia and became a two time loser with a four year term. Though no doubt disappointed that he was in another institute Jerry didn't let it weigh him down and to pass the time he joined the Sodality 1, Pep Club 3, Harle- quin Club 2-3-4, and was a finalist in the junior Elocution Contest 2. Audiences who saw jerry as the maid in See How They Run and as a gambler in Green Pastures won't soon forget the Harlequins or the productions he took part in. jerry's hobby is picking on Flor. At present he hasn't decided on his goal in life. 22 3 - LEWIS STEPHEN GRENZ Boxes on a mountain top --these words apply to Davy Crockett and Lew Grenz. Davy was from Tennessee, Lew hails from St. Anne's on Queen Anne Hill. That's where the resemblance ends. Lew, whose favorite saying is Lets go have a smoke, spends most of his time hustling girls rather than shooting bears and his ambition is to become a manager of his own A 81 P store rather than killing Indians. Seriously though, Lew played Soph-Frosh Baseball 2 and was in the Pep Club 2-3. He wants no more out of life than a chance to get an education and to take care ol his car. Lew usually can be found in one of these four places: with Coughlin, with girls, in the garage for a smoke, or on his way to the Names in his Merc.

And with Assumption goes Dave Hermes. Consider- ing himself the most pessimistic student at Prep, his fellows would never know it by his attitude toward all phases of Jesuit ed- ucation. Having the honor of being ad- dressed as Mr. Hennes by a certain religion teacher, Dave doesn't let it go to his head and plans not to be tempted in a chemical field. Instead, he plans for an education toward a diploma in either electrical, or aeronautical engineering. His hobby is hunting, and we hope that through life, Lady Luck is not as elusive as the deer and ducks that Dave has tried so hard to find. THOMAS JOHN HERM SEN The only thing about school that the next Assumption lad d0esn't like is the principle of the thing. Tom scooted up to Prep in '52 from the North End to serve a four year term for lack of high school education. joining Sodality 1-2, and play- ing Cub Basketball 1, he kept the first two years of his stretch occupied. As a Junior, Tom first felt the ground under his feet as a member of the Track Team 3-4. This piece of historical literature which you are now reading is also blessed with Tom's talent as a staff member. His ambition is to sneak out of the windows of Fr. Fal- setto's lab and paint the flagpole a loud, eye-appealing color. On the serious side, Tom hopes to go into business. The type of business is not known. GEORGE CLARK HOYT A small green car squeals to a stop and twenty-nine people climb out. The last man to appear is our next grateful grad- uate-Clark Hoyt! Rasmus migrated from St. Catherine's four years ago and assumed the burden of spending four years with the Jesuits. He got off to a good start by cavorting with the Cubs. He spent the remainder of his sentence making friends as fast as he met them. He joined the Harlequins as a Senior and helped the 4-C's Basketball Team over the rough spots. He claims his ambition is to own a chain of men's stores. His future is bright and with his likeable personality and sharp mind, he is sure to be successful. 24 ALFRED JOSEPH HYDE Al Hyde is another man from Seattle Preparatory's Preparatory, St. Joseph's. He first coasted down the hill to school ir 1952, and began to establish himself as one of the most popular and amusing people at Prep. Raw is a very fine basketball player. His accomplishments as a twine-snapper include: Frosh and JV 2-3 He was the team's leading scorer as a Junior. He lists his hobbies as sailing, play- ing cards, and relaxing, in that order, and he has shown himself to be very apt at all three. Occasionally however, he is serious enough to plan for his future and he has decided to make a million dollars. While making that money, Al still plans to have time to fill his address book.
