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.

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 . . .

Herr- is a dear and true industrious EL ARCHIVERO 37 RICHARD OLNEY RHODES . STANFORD Dickis many and varied talents are brought to the attention of anyone hap- pening to enter his room while he is sending Morse Code through the wires around his desk, welding a tennis can with the blinding White glare of a carbon arc flick- ering in his goggled face, or photographing a flashlight as it swings on a string from the ceiling. Dickls achievement by no means stops at the scientific level as those who camp or ski with him will quickly confirm. He is also agile in such major sports as varsity tennis, soccer tconsistent curved corner kicks catching the cageb, third-floor baseball, and pluto-platter handling, at which Dick is the un- disputed champion. Though a little quieter than most in a bull session, '4Rhodus usually man- ages to get across what he has to say, often using humorous reproductions of certain classroom monologues. D- yk 1 W v an I I , . sa IL meets any new and chalengmg assignment with his widely known curiosity. Stroking his chin, he mutters, HWell. Hmmmmml Weill have to look into this matterw. With qualities such as these, we wonder how Dick can help hut make college life more interesting for a chosen few.
