That his popularity carries over to the feminine set is confirmed by his vast collection of girls' pictures and his many correspondents.

After a tiresome fall or spring day, Jock has been known to take rod and reel and relax fishing at a nearby stream. Tiny” 1957 JOHN THOMAS MULVEY, JR. 522 East 88th Street New York 28, N. Y.

John is one of the gentlest and best natured members of the Sixth Form. Paradoxically, however, on the gridiron he became the bulwark of the defensive line, crashing through the opponents' offense and preventing their gains. His zeal for football tactics was again quite evident when he wrestled in the unlimited weight class during the winter. John, undoubtedly the busiest boy in the form, also does more things successfully than any other member of the form. He is the school chauffeur, tractor and truck driver, a member of the Glee Club and the Choir, and an excellent Managing Editor of the newspaper. John's hard work and amiable personality will surely bring him recognition in the future. Ben 1958 BEN WILCOX NELSON 56 West Main Street Bainbridge, N. Y. Basketball, Varsity 4; Work Project 4; A” Band 4; Dance Band 4- Ben appeared last September with a basketball under one arm and a pile of books under the other; he then proceeded to become one of the top scholars in the class and certainly the top basketball player. His grace on the court is apparent to even the most casual observer. A taciturn member of the Sixth Form, Ben says much in as few words as possible. His most frequent expression, It is three hours past my bed time”, is likely to be heard any time during the day. On Sunday evenings Ben has been known to add his trumpet to the semi-organized caphony in the tower. 20

His work for the last four years on the newspaper and in the band added greatly to the success of those two organizations. 21
