Day, Tony Anything but history, for history must be falsef, -Sir Robert Walpole FTER SPENDING TWO YEARS in exile from the Senior class fone year in England and a sec- ond year with the Class of '62, , Tony Day returned and was readily reaccepted by his old class- mates. Tony has fallen in with the intellectual group in the class. He certainly has the qualifications. He ranked third in the Senior class after midyears, and he has read widely in philosophy, novels, and history for the AP course. The elfects of this reading are best borne out in Government Class, where he has several times tried to introduce some of his muy reading. A He was elected Editorial Editor of the 'Newsi last spring, U and he has served extremely well in this capacity. He is one I of the hardest workers on the paper, yet he also finds time to write for GYRE and was even seen at an ALBANIAN deadline. Tony,s prestige is highest in Government Class, where he perhaps enjoys the widest respect of all speakers. One of the lcey Liberals, he made a speech on civil rights primarily responsible for a Liberal victory. Since then, he has shown somewhat of a soft spot for Red China, leading the fight for Red China's admission to the U.N. and advocating US. economic aid to the Asiatic power. X j With his intellectual capacity and his leftist leanings, he will certainly be at home at Harvard. We expect much of him in future years. ,Q 1 i ' l f on N ff ' 'f ' .

He quietly works against time, for he knows that soon the frolicking ones must begin their math and that he, math scholar supreme, will in- evitably be called upon to solve their more difficult problems. George's scholastic abilities are not merely confined to the advanced mathematics course. His schedule leaves him with fewer free periods in a week than the normal person has in a single day. Even though he rarely ever works on weekends, he somehow finds time to do good enough work in his other subjects and to rank in the top fifth of the class. T' 'HT'-f f gk George is prominent in School activities. He has already X xx Il won two Varsity letters this year, and, as Captain of the ten- 1 nis team, he should win another letter, despite his modest , IX insistence that he will not make the team. y tiff- p Born in Turkey, he has been globetrotting ever since.

Pete has the gift of making hard work fun, and with that gift he will excel and help others to excellence. do anyway-hide? And so it has been with Pete Dove, Biographer to the Class of 1963. It is no simple job to assemble biographies of 45 people, to be accurate, to be kind, and to be original. Pete ' I took this task willingly, and he has done it well. Convincingly, ig ' he has wheedled material from the unready, and eliectively, he has forced material from the recalcitrant. In short, Pete n F-'-'ax'- has done a first-rate job of running the largest and most L 4 sensitive part of the ALBANIAN. ii X I-Ie has never lost his temper under these pressures.
