EL ARCHIVERO 35 WESLEY REIMER PETIT STANFORD Suddenly striding into the Dorm, Wes lowers his head to get through the door of his room, and slumps with a crash into a well-worn armchair . . . After propping the broken leg back into place with a nail, a piece of wood and a lot of ingenuity, Wes wipes the perspiration from his high brow so that he won't sweat too much over the Spanish book he has just picked off his immaculate shelf. Wes has probably just come in from a set or two with the other top men on the tennis ladder-or maybe from a session out on the New Field with the Soccer Team. Ahal Now I realize that heis been playing tennis, for I see he is trying to give himself ptomaine poisoning by drinking half a reservoir-full of water out of an empty tennis-ball can. As this is his only major vice fa part from making violent anti-cigarette campaigns in Public Speakingl none of us can really complain about the unusual habit. When Wes adds a beard to his elongated face and a Stafford education to his natural good sense, it is our contention that the name Petit will soon be added under the face already on the one-cent piece . . .

Dr. Myrin, using colorful illustrations from his own experience, explained to his flock that the lack of religious feeling among the youth of today was preval- ent even when he was a school boy in the West fifty years ago. HDuring my sen- ior yearf' quipiped Dr. Myrin, I remember standing in the middle of the dormitory with my shirt reversed and a sardonic grin on my face, as I preached my seemingly unchangeable views on atheismf, At the Church tea, held in the Rectory after the service, Dr. Myrin re-united with one of his former classmates, now Professor of Pathology at Harvard Uni- versity. The Professor reminded Dr. Myrin how he used to spend all his wakeful hours quietly meditating amid clouds of smoke on the hill behind the dormitory. lt was revealed that the Doctor had the habit of phoning home to North Carolina every week tto his mother, of coursel. The Church elders were interested to find that their pastor had not only excelled in soccer and in tennis tit seems he was adept at wrapping racquets around the school net postsi , but also in two other sports which will he unknown to you Ashville readers-ngyrnkhanan and upackingw.

A firm, friendly handshake is yours as you first meet Mike, but the most powerful impression is that all-worry-dissolving smile for which we shall remember him longest. When 'gHap'py,' first arrived at Thacher, he was the studious typeg marks were rare. Since then, an inimitable spontaneity has been acquired, which sometimes leads to trouble and always leads to fun. But Mike is still basically a conscientious, if care-free gentleman. He has read by the light of the midnight oil. This combi- nation of uninhibited fellowship with self-discipline is exceedingly rare. Pleas can express his personality with equal perfection on the drawing board. the soccer Held, or the stage. This Cymkhana Captain-Outdoor Committee Chairman-Camper has obviously been a mainstay of the horse department. Is there any stone left unturned? L'Ecole Nouvelle doesnit yet know what it's getting as Mike packs up to leave. lt won't take the Swiss long to learn what theyive been missing.
