CHARLES DESSAU ATKINSON III e school library, nor the city li- brary, nor Ldary's of Philadelphia can supply a certain book, periodical, or reference, the next person to whom he invariably turns is Charlie Atkinson, whose vast libraries offer a limitless source of reading material, and whose large vocabulary attests to his extensive reading. His main means of unleashing his vocabulary are in English class and in his DIAL column, Once Over Lightly, in which he manages to use most of his newly-acquired tongue-twisters. In the Senior Room, Charlie is usually seen either madly attempting to arrange his three shelves or desperately cramming for a History test or Math 'quickie' which is coming up next period. As well known as his bibliomania and honor grades are his feats on the basketball court, where he has played varsity for the past three years, and on the football field, where, snagging fingertip passes from his right end position, he acquired the appropriate nickname, Bird, Charlie is quite a tal- ented, though self-made musician, having taught himself to play the piano the Dean Ross way,', as well as the ukulele and the guitar. He sings bass in the chorus, and he enjoys harmonizing in the Tower Hillbilly fashion both in school and at parties. How- ever, not until the boarding school vacations does Charlie show his true self, and only then does he manage to show up at parties and dances with a date. During what little time outside of school that he can call his own, Charlie can many times be found either loafing or playing tennis, two favorite pastimes at which he's expert. Despite Charlie's qualms and fears about being accepted at the college of his choice, it is certain that he will be accepted with open arms, and that wherever he goes, Charlie Atkinson will open doors of new pleasures and adventures which will never include a dull time or-a small vocabulary.
