If you had lurched into Chris Henzeis room one day last year. you might have caught him scraping the remains of a semi-rotten brown mash from his ceiling. What are you doing? you ask. That darn applefjack bottle blew up all over the roomln After cleaning up the mess, Hen rushed up to the smoke shack to satisfy his craving. After this he might have hurried over to the music box to practice on the clarinet, or have paid his weekly visit to see Caruso. Although you might look into his dark eyes and see nothing but truth and innocence, hidden directly behind them is a constantly scheming mind which may he planning the works of a campus distillery or finding a semi-legitimate excuse for getting out of gymkhana practice. The inquisitive brain under Chrisis shiny black hair is constantly searching for new meanings in commonplace words. Hen is a real master of the moo. His quietly uttered remarks in the section sessions are classic. The honors English student put his ability to work by writing an extensive Code of Ethics for Thacher dances. Pomona, BEWARE! l

EL ARCHIVERO 29 IOHN HEARD . STANFORD 'CSTREAKH BEHEMOTH IS HEARD TO HAVE DEFEATED LEPIDOPTERA CECROPIA IN TITLE BOUT Thank you, Maxey. Yes, ladies and gentleman, ol' Streak, a very close friend of mine, has done it again! Weighing in at 230 lbs, in the north corner, Behemoth absolutely flattened ol' Lepidopy in the first go. Weighing in at two grams, in the upper south corner near the ceiling, poor ol' Leppy never had a chance. Be he a moth or not, Behemoth swatted ol' L.C. into the upholstery! What a iight! Thank you, Maxey. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I remember how all was silent and morosely peaceful in the o-l' Upper Training Barn. You could scarcely hear the low voice muttering: 'I can't stand trigl' The pitch of this appalling statement increases: 'I Carft Stand Trigffi 'Suddenly a blood-curdling scream pierces the gloom: 'I CAN'T STAND TRIG.'!!' Yes, he put everything he had into his training and often burned the midnight oil in preparation for the next day's bout. He kept in shape with an elite group of trackmen and would dine on the following delicious meal: protein pill pudding, vitamin C juice, smelling salts seasoning, and, to top it ol'I, wintergreen oil on the rocks. This diet sparked him to other sports. In soccer, opposing players dared not approach the goal. None can top his riding ability, he holds two state championship titles and was high-point in the '58 Yale-Thacher gymkhana. Man! What an athlete! Thank you, Maxey, Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Streak is quite a scholar. He did a re- markable job in all of his interests. He played '6Ma.lagueria on the piano with vigor, and was a good photographer, too. I remember him for his smiling face, rollicking laugh, and dowwtoearth manner. Streak's a great guy.

EL ARCHIVERO 31 IOHN GREENOUGH LEWIS. IR. L'ECOLE NOUVELLE DE CHAILLY SUR LAUSANNE Scene: The Dining Room Characters: John Lewis and lVIr. Chase Yes, Mr. Chase, I think itlll be all right for you to do that.'7 The Administra- tion has just been given the OK. on a pressing ailair of Thacher policy. Scene: The Parking Lot, beside the Yellow Bug Characters: John Lewis and Unidentified Teacher Hjohn, do you think we'll have a holiday tomorrow. nlim positive we willf' Sure enough, the next day was a School Holiday. What supernatural powers does this boy have, that see through the paneled walls of the I'Ieadmaster's office, the oriental haze of the kitchen, and the heavily- guarded corridors of the infirmary? Long ago Thacherites ceased asking. The ans- wer: impossible to ascertain. Beside creating a legend, Uncle john has swung his hulk around as head of the Camp Supply, chairman of the Indoor Committe, third team baseball coach, varsity soccer goalie, and mark-slinging prefect terror in the eyes of the Middle School. Next year John is going to Switzerland to attend L'Ec0le Nouvelle, where he will undoubtedly be chasing Continental females all over the Alps and helping Lilfcole to function smoothly. The Coordinating Committee will indeed have a hard time when it tries to coordinate a replacement for Uncle .lohn. 953 I -b 'I As merry as the day is long.
