EL ARCHIVERO 17 IOHN FRANKLIN BEALL, IR. . POMONA TIME PEOPLE NewPremier .... Stepping out of his Buick '59 near the auditorium of the Thacher School last week, was actor-singer John 1Daddy Cooll Beall, 18, the talented impresario who first hit the headlines three months ago with the publication of his intangible creative poetry. Beall, handsome and intellectual, posed in varying profiles for the assembled press men, and when asked why it was his last performance as Montserrat in the hit play by Broadway writer Lillian Hellman, he replied, 5'Manl That part just kills mein N E W S W E E K Contemporary Authorities Size Up Great Literary Figure of This Century, JOHN BEALL D.

There is no more positive proof of the saying that a boy's room is a good indication of his personality than Derek Anderson's abode. As we enter it, we find a cuhicle literally lined with all types of paraphernalia-pictures of sports cars, pictures of girls, a greeting card with a cave man on it, pictures of girls, cat tails swinging from the ceiling, a great glob of radiophonohifidelity, an old sword on the wall, pictures of girls, a bridle pendulating from its peg, tennis rackets in a corner, a few stacks of a'Luckies', on a dresser, an Anderson master- piece in oil flopped against a wall, pictures of girls, and piles of no-longer-sweet smelling letters protruding from the hollow leg of a rhinoceros. After surveying the room, we notice that its owner is not present. We there- fore saunter up to the smoke shack to engage in a hull session with Derek, who is all hut hidden hehind a cloud of twisting vapors. For Derek,s sake we certainly hope that there's a Smoking Cluh at the Colorado School of Mines.

The crowd cheers wildly as an enemy soccer forward approaches Thacher's goal. ,lust as the opponent is about to drive the ball into the net, a large, solid form intercepts him from the side at blinding speed and with powerful grace dribbles swiftly between two oncoming players. In another moment, after feinting his way into the open, the massive fullback sends the leather spheroid catapulting sixty yards down field to a waiting wing. Dave Behnke does not confine his athletic talents to soccer, for in the winter he may be seen on our air-conditioned basketball courts rebounding the ball high off the blackboard or at springtime on the baseball diamond pegging a man out at second with a fast, accurate throw from home plate. Behnk,' works just as hard as he plays. Nightly the lamp burns late as this student's eyes are wearied by reading Milton or physics. The effort shows, for he has one of the highest grade averages in the class. ln all of his many endeavors Bedink', always carries with him good sports- manship and a relaxed sense of humor. His friendly kidding and good nature are merely two of the qualities which make Dave Dave.
