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.

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

The lights sink into a dark dimness, and a powerful figure is illuminated on- stage as he swings his body with the pulsating drum-and-piano beat. Dark glasses and hell-red jacket identify the R'n B singer as the notorious Little Boy Lew. The girls in the audience are completely fascinated and respond wildly during his surging sax solo. Ah, fame! , Lewi is combination unscrupulous headwaiter and hypochondriac track-cap- tain. People collect different thingsg Lewi collects Olympic speed pills, rubbing ointments, and canned-heat. These evidently work, for he is a fine runner and in- evitably plaoes in or wins the dashes. The Upper School constantly resounds with Lewi's uaffaires des femmesf, and he usually has at least five dilierent girls on the hook simultaneously. We at Thacher will remember Lew and his humor fhowever ribaldi for many years in the future.
