an EL ARCHIVERO 25 GEORGE HILL CLYDE . YALE First it was the trumpet, then he quit that, and residents of the Upper School breathed a sigh of relief. Now heis taken up the harmonica and, whatls more, has attached it to an amplifier. Racing to George's section to tell him to shut up, one is overwhelmed by the quantity of shoes, pants, shirts, and socks which drape the bureau, floor, and desk in possibly the messiest stall of the Valley. Gazing around the room, one sees the face of Mrs. Elizabeth Duncan occupying the place of honor on the wall next to the picture of the What, Me Worry?'7 kid. By this time the harmonica playing has stopped, and the feverish voice of Sister Pool is spouting from the radio. George himself is typing a N Utes editorial and smoking his pipe. Sit down and read the fine little poem I just wrote,', he says amiably. As one lounges on the bed, a searing pain jars all the nerves as an electric shock shoots through his body. Hal cackles George with a gleam in his eyes, How do you like the way l wired the bed ?', Despite George's tendency to hack around, he has been busy this year with more serious occupations, as a quick look at the statistics will show. Careful or- ganization gives G.H.C. time to write letters to a special Santa Barbarina and to water his domesticated poison oak plant. The vine-covered halls of Yale had better make sure that George doesnlt become interested in poison ivy! A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest menf, -Anonymous IUSSJO: Fourth Soccer Team, Intramural Soccer, Grceu Gymkhana Team. l'I5f--57: Masquers.

'c0h, nothingf, is the usual answer, but after the routine amount of coaxing, we find that John has hidden two or three large trophies and eight or nine ribbons under his coat. John and his steed Snowball have gained the reputation of being consistent point-getters in both School and outside horse shows. John Workday Trailbuilder Case is also the President of the Pack and Saddle Club, but his fame is not one-sided, for Snowball's', feats on the soccer and baseball fields are also well-known, and his masterpieces in painting and writing for the Notes must not pass by uncelebrated. In short, where there is activity, you will find Case. The fact that ,Iohn's mare, Snowball, is completely brown, gives us a good clue to his character. He is, first and foremost, an individualist and has many staunch supporters because of it. John always has the courage, ingenuity, and patience to stand by his decisions, ideas, and desires Whether he is advising a lowly smut, convincing Mr. Chase that the administration's point of View is wrong, or debating, a pipe clamped firmly in the corner of his mouth, with 112 Californians about the virtues of Arizona. You can be sure that he will either win, which is most likely, or die with his boots on. ' Here is one Tucsoner who may proudly carve another notch in the butt- of his gun for his four years at Thacher. ' 1 1-y. w.'!'

Freemie has a habit of letting people know he is around. If radios huzz. if lights blink. or if fuses blow. chances are that Freemie is making innocent electricity flow through capacitors. coils. resistors, and various other incomprehensible gad- gets of his own invention. WAGDFF is active in amateur radio. as all the faculty who have television sets will quickly confirm. As a Smut he first charmed the school as leading lady in The Tempest, and he has continued to participate in the Dramatics Department through his four years. Salas lna presided over the Masquers' Board this year in the production of Mont- serraf. Wlleri he is not winning Cymkhanas on his white steed Spider or scoring goals for the second soccer team. Freem will undouhtedly he taking Arch or Notes pictures of Thacher life. for there is hardly a minute when he is not seen as a smile behind a camera. If he is as exasperatingly organized at Dartmouth as he has been here, we're sure he will have no trouble in taking it hy storm.
