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.

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.

OJAI PLANET-FREE PRESS JUNE 9, 1959-Tc O B I T U A R Y Pericles Cates Passes Away On June 2 the passing away of our dear friend occasioned extensive mourn- ing throughout the surrounding countryside, particularly in the Lower School. Vital Statistics: Mr. Gates was of medium build and height, in excellent health and in full possession of all his strong appendages. He was in complete control of all his faculties, we think. Remembrances: He played soccer viciously. This may have been one of the causes leading to . . . He was usually spotting a small, woolen skull cap. This is significant because it is one example of many Eastern idiosyncrasies. He sacrificed himself to the school and worked unhealthily hard. He could be seen at the gymk- hana field upon his benevolent Steed or at Mammoth Mountain contemplating suicidal ski runs. Coronefs Report: 4'The poor.boy was obviously demented. He kept talking about the 'Big City' and certain members of the opposite sex. This was not a monomania, but was an obviously unhealthy sign. My colleague N.K.C. is the mortician in chargef, P. Gates has passed away, passed away to Williams. He must have gone to heaven--Smith is close by. He has at last shuffled off this mortal coil. 'E I' F -.,.' wt- ,A
