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.

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.

JOURNAL This date, June 9, 1963, has been one of grave significance and portent to the scholastic history of Weslyan College. Today Dr. Christopher Rich was grad- uated with unpreoedented honors and unanimous acclaim. He received his B.A. in 1961, after two years of graduate work, and was awarded surnma cum laude honors. Plunging doggedly back into the lvy halls, years of brilliant research were culminated yesterday in a Ph.D. in Tickology. First-hand experience for his thesis, on The Sex Life of the Mule Tick,', was obtained by Dr. Rich in the days when he spent many summers packing mules and observing ticks in the High Sierras and many winters of intensive study and informal seminar in other aspects of his subject at the Thacher School in Ojai, California. ln his youth, Dr. Rich was a fiery player of soccer and baseball, and his commanding stature will attest to this even now. Accompanied by his beautiful wife, the new Doctor seemed confused by the fiashbulbs and reporters, but the good wife offered revealing comments about his early life: He was always pop- ular in school and active in student government. The other boys said the 'Crich' was an excellent conversationalist, prone to using vivid descriptive adjectives. He was usually involved with some girl-l had a terrible time with him. Dr. Rich smirked.
