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.

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.

EL ARCHIVERO 27 ROBERT RUSSEL GALLAWAY CALIFORNIA As We wander through the Upper School during H-hour, the unmistakable smell of roasting popcom wafts out of the northeast section. From the fireplace to a door we follow pieces of the beautifully charred delicacy which are on the floor. There is a joyous laugh and the tell-tale click of a poker chip. lt must bc Gallawayis room! Upton entering the hideaway we see it all: a drunken revelry-fritas, more pop' corn, cancly, and what are those green thingsfp? Tenfno, twenty! More than that, it looks like . . . eighty-seven coke bottles lempty, of coursel. This boy is an athlete at heart! Seriously, though, Rob has other interests besides drinking Coke and dis- cussing philosophy with Mrs. Mason at the Pop Stand. Our Hred-lobsterw tennis captain from sunny Sacramento can be seen on any fall or spring day headed towards the courts with a great bucket of balls to practice his serves. In winter Cut mounts Star to win consistently in the sack race. Sometimes he even plays basketball, and Bob Cousy cringes. Or else, Rob is up at the Smoke Shack acting as self-appointed campaign manager for the Republican Party. The University of California will have to look twice when red-faced, smiling Cut arrives next fall carrying his tennis racket, popcorn, and a carton of Cokes. l think the world is but a Tennis- court . . . -Alexanrlerlw Tragedy, Earl Sterling lllii-56: Varsity Tennis Team.
