ROBERT KNOX BARNHART Alpha One Year at Taft Wesleyan Bob Barnhart arrived at Taft in September, 1951, with some books, a couple of trunks, and a rubber Indian. Then, having set all of these items in proper order, he began his life at School. I-le hadn't been here long before rumors of his broad- jumping ability began to spread among the students- rumors which he was to substantiate on the Track Team in '52. Bqb always took his schoolwork seriously, never .,-v-Y.-.- 'F 'T s believi hat he was doing as well as he should and, al- ways mistic, hoping the next day would bring better .3 grades In his spare time he often read books-unless, of , cours e was defending his Indian from certain members ' of .hi c ridor who seemed fascinated by its resiliency. t A tends its heartiest good wishes to Bob when he lea s hool this spring and prepares to enter Wesleyan i the fall.

FRANKLYN JOSEPH BERGEN, JR. Alpha Four Years at Taft Yale Four years ago Frank, who is better known to his friends as Tucky , entered Taftg since then he has become a prominent figure around school. During these four years Frank has done a great deal for his class and Taft by serving as President of the Press Club and Chairman ol' the Day Boy Committee. Entering Taft from nearby lVaterbury, Tucky has always ranked near the top of his class scholastically. Last spring found Frank out on the diamond, heeling the man- agership of Mr. Pennell's nine. His sincere effort and determination was rewarded at the end of the term when he was elected Varsity baseball Manager. Next year Frank will enter the halls of Yale, and we all wish him the best of luck both in college and in later life. lVe are confident that he will be as big a success as he was at Taft.
