It was the first inning of the Hrst game in the 1957 season. The opposing pitcher sneered down upon the 5' 4- , tan-colored, blonde-haired Middle Schooler. When that easily thrown baseball left Tony Bryan's bat, the U. S. launched the first earth satellite. a fact which was recorded only by the 1-0 scoreboard. Simply to extol nMr. CARE accomplishments as wing in soccer or executor of perfect parallel Christies on the slopes of Mammoth Mountain would be to miss ilu- point that this Sclmol Prefect is basically an artist. He plays that most sensitive of instruments-the oboe: he thinks deep thoughts and then writes about them in poems. The short man works hard. Not only will Thacher's athletic squads miss the assurance of Tony's quiet smile. lrul llic whole School will rarely again find such an all-round sportsman.

EL ARCHIVERO 21 ROBERT SPROTT BOYD . U. oi C. at SANTA BARBARA Entering Bob Boydis attractively decorated room you will probably find your- self greeted with a broad grin from an equally broad figure sitting at the writing table. Upon your arrival, he will put away his well-used letter writing equipment, gaze pensively for a split second at the large Schlitz,, sign on the wall, and then turn and gesticulate towards his bed. lf you can find a few square inches between the Sports lllustratedfs, Trueis, and Playboys, accept his offer and make your- self comfortable. After he has turned down the overloud phonograph in the cor- ner and settled down into the comfort of his annchair, you will probably be privi- leged to hear yet another excerpt from the many tales he has to tell of San Francisco. Bob is a very relaxed characterg he never seems to get frustrated about theme writing, baseball pitching, soccer-ball punting or riding Kory. Most of us attribute this remarkable lack of nervous tension to the regular appointments he keeps between classes with the 'Marlboro Men' at the renowned little tin-thatched shack. Yes, Bob certainly enjoys the pleasures of life. We are certain that it was not solely for philosophical discussions that he helped form the Epicurean Club. We bet that he will find higher education still more broadening. .
