Amid cries of Oh, Bill, have you looked at ic?H he blithely streamlines through his work and finds time for an occasional pool game, a trip to Ernie's, and a lengthy round-trip between Silver Spring and School. After graduation in June, return tO I'1atlVC state of Nevada to beglfl 3 ll1CI'aIlV6 part-time job-trash-collecting on the beaches of Lake Tahoe. In past years he has returned in September in high spirits, or l at least with the best sun tan.

And thus Tap Bennett once again displays his wealth of historical knowledge, much to the chagrin of the Ameri- can history master and to the scorn of his less intelligent colleagues. His contributions to American history class are but one small indication of the new Tap Bennettf' Hours of strenuous exercise have slimmed Tapleyys frame, and months of study have sharpened his mind. He has excelled this year as an out- V Q 'P 'V 5 7 standing scholar, placing first in the class at mid-years. He spares no effort in keeping his grades at the highest possible level, and has been known to argue for as long as fifteen min- utes over two points on a quiz. Tap has been an active and energetic, if occasionally frustrated, Liberal Leader of the Government Class. He has contributed stacks of mimeographed propaganda sheets and X many entertaining speeches. Concerned over the propensity of ffl 3' in skillful political maneuvering-occasionally even refusing to make his position known to the Class. This secrecy is a source of great amusement to all Conservatives. At Haverford next year, Tap's dynamic personality should soon make him an outstanding man on the campus, as he has been here for the last six years. a J ,Q if I If- ,fiii I Z , J, Fifi. M .

BLAKE WINFIELD BLACKWELDER Born: June 25, 1945, Buffalo, New York Entered St. Albans: Form IV Activities: Librarian, IV, V, VI, Football, IV, V, V15 Soccer, IV, V, VI, Baseball, V, VI Awards: StA-3 Soccer IV, V, VI, StA-3 Football, Vg StA-3 Baseball, V Special Interests: Paleontology, geology College: Duke W Blake Sermons in stones and good in every tbingf, i -Sbakespeare LAKE IS L1v1NG in another age. Surrounded by shells, bones, and shark teeth, Blake explains that his treasures are fossils of the Miocene epoch-some 25 to 30 million years old. One of his most prized possessions is a rock containing traces of life of 180 million years ago. Blake spends his summers and vacations along Marylandls Chesapeake Bay, where he searches for more fossils to add to his collection. He now has about 150 varieties. With his mind fermenting in paleontological bedrock, it ' K - l is no wonder that Blake has not been noted as one of the more mph, - active partakers in the Common Life. He has, however, made or X sizable contributions to this year's Varsity football and base- ball teams, and he has been a starter on the undefeated Junior 4 ll I I Varsity soccer squad for two years. In the classroom he re- ,., I x R x rf u lbs 5 1 X K, mains aloof, silent and inscrutable, and occasional efforts by , r fxw the back row boysv to label him as a rowdy in American o 4 be! history class have always ended in dismal failures. ij , N f ' h Also noteworthy is Blake's artistic success. He began K X Q taking art only last year and did so well in water-colors that N li, r 'S this year he has gone into oils. He works slowly and care- if G ,RJ fully, and his paintings always seem to reHect elements that V R . are also in his personality: refinement and conservatism. We ig i are sure that Duke will aid Blake in his unique interests and H Q35 I J offer him scope for the talents that he has displayed here. N TI-IE ALBANIAN 19
