HAROLD ARMSTRONG ADAMS I lal lias managed to become a necessary part of the Managers Parlors; Nvithout him the room is quite bare - or maybe just quiet. Best known as that streak of hoht- ning that flashes tfnougli tlie underpass just as a train pulls in. Hal commutes daily from his home in Philly - really effervesces when he says hello. He s a K vinker and one to swell the stag lines at college dances -and he spends a lot of perfectly good time getting c oncerned over a little matter of an Engineering major, but a close rival to over-abundant work is that eternally brain-twisting matter of women. WILLIAM COLBERT ADAMSON Bill is a paradox. Republican in political faith, staunch and die-hard, one of the old school, yet, contrary to cus- tom, he s one of the clearest thinkers to be found. Besides that, ■we suspect he s turning fast into a jitterbug. Pint- sized jayvee soccer player, Glee Club supporter, devotee of Martin labs for pre-med courses. Bill, who is precise in all he does, continues to work like a little beaver — so he says, on through the night. And it ' s much to the good- natured dissatisfaction of his roomies, as well as secret admirers vho, so ve ve heard rumored, wish he devoted more time to their social life. RICHARD BRADSHAVV ANGELL An idealist with plenty of power within himself to tr ans- fer his convictions to actual practice, that s Dick. And perhaps it s these qualities that have led him to become chairman of the ASU s program committee. Dick is ex- tremely sensitive to his surroundings, and this quality, combined with a rare appreciation for beauty and form, is developed in his poetry, written for the Poilfolio or purely for enjoyment. Honors work in the social sciences which he intends to utilize, gives plents ' of room for his inquiring mind. Dick s college life is rich and varied because he has the strength and energy to make it so. NEWELL GILDER ALFORD, Jr. Alfy, the human paradox, is one of those people that defies pigeon-holing. A brilliant, tempestuous honors student, an equally tempestuous and skilful defender in jayvee lacrosse, an actor for Little Theatre with a leading part in Judg- ment Day, and a clever person possessed of a smooth and dangerous wit, are gen- erally clifjerent people around campus, but Alfy is all of them at once or each of them in different season. W e are really certain about one thing however; Alfy never bores us, and although his be- havior may be unpredictable, it ' s always intriguing. •MItW
