WILLIAM BARCLAY PARSONS, JR. Harvard You never know what Pars is going to do next. If you should ask his frank opinion. he'd tell you that his ruling passion is to lead a jazz orchestra. But one never knows. Bill often reminds one of the old Down East chore man who says he has 101 jobs to do every day. but only gets 100 of 'em done, and, as a 64355 result, in a constant state of dis- ,, Mn organization, confusion, and dis- orderliness. But somehow he always 5 K seems to come through, nobody knows how. Who ever heard of a V missionary society or a minister's convention without Pas-a swear word or cross word by Bill-an evil thought or drink in Bill? He claims J to rate as a B.M.0.l'., but in ten 'a years his semi-idiotic qualities will probably land him under a table in some booze parlor, or in a home for the feeble-minded. 1 I Aoousrus fiIBSON Pi-x1Nr:, II Princeton We always recognized Stavy as being meticulous, clothes wrinkless, never a hair out of line, but there broke upon us the final jolt when he shipped his baseball shoes off to Brooks for reconditioning. You know, being St. Mark's social dictator, he has quite a following around here. VVhy, not long ago he was the cause of a minor s,, catastrophe in the life of a certain traveling salesman. He announced fthff to the press and the world at large f 1 that young men today are wearing 4 their trousers without pleats. Uonse- 'i quently every suit being fitted that gk day had to be sent back to the shop ' L for the removal of the pleats. He has ' an passion for telling the most un- Y believable stories. For this reason some of us have taken to calling A . . l him Hyperbole, That works like dynamite. so if you use the word in Stavy's presence, be on your horse. M1958

STEPHEN EDWARD NAsH The wave of that great hand and the Aw go on that accompanies it is enough to rattle the most intrepid arguer. Four Eyes is another one ol' these hibited his glorious sense of rhythm at the Sixth Form Dance by truck- ing at every available opportunity. Steve is no idle man when it comes to the women-folk. His weekly average is about ten from Jeanne and eight from Winnie, with one or two extras thrown in. Weevil is credited with Polish ancestry, but hc stoutly denies it, asserting that he intends to become a flag salesman.

In spite of the absence of his two thoroughly cowed iso he tells usb servants. Hosee and Maria, he has managed during his six years here to keep up that well- groomed appearance. Nerltoisy has proved to be the best hockey man- ager in S. M. history, for none of his predecessors was clever enough to get an efficient stooge. The two weeks preceding each vacation are, for those that dare enter his room, ones of excruciating agony, for Masta Neuhaus sa! wanders about, gun in hand, aiming at mythical bandits and generally practicing . ' . f his aim to ensure self-protection upon his return home. The school will miss Phil, but can console itself with the fact that, during the sixth Form Dance, he gave one of the Master's daughters her first lesson in rolling the bones.

SHEFFIELD Pumps Yale Wheflield! What are you doing? Before you know it you are encircled by his long arms and completely surrounded by Goon. If someone suggests turning on the vlctrola, Shef yodels, You do it, explaining why he can't with numerous argu- ments introduced by, Do you realize-. Renowned as a fabrica- tor, Fi Fi's pet anecdote deals with a friend of his who drove a golf ball ten miles down the Hudson River in mid-winter. We have also discovered that Whef is not the only male off- spring in his family. The gawky one is quite a crew man when he is not Hopping around on the piano. Some say that his secret ambition is to become a zeppelin commander. ZR5 ,111--1 41- l l GARDNER HART PIERSON Harvard Say, Gaudy Gar from Rochester, New York is the nattiest fellow in the institution. that was not completely X m y s STMAQKS 26 He would not be seen in a costume approved of by Ifsrlzaire. Whether a question of formal wear or of a costume for a Tyrolean Party, Gardner Harte is always ready with advice which can't be beaten. After all, he is a great musical critic. though limited in expression to the one phrase, Gawd this is good! A great traveler, Gar has many tales to tell of experiences in gay Paris or among the movie stars of Hollywood. The quality of his criti- cism and mockery is surpassed only by that of his witty puns which, as a matter of fact, are rather boring. They say his advice to the Love- lorn is unbeatable. Perhaps he is that way too.
