At first sight, John might seem retiring, but those who have attended his esoteric disscussions, which may range from the color of Coleridge’s opium pipe to the merits of existentialism, know differently. Besides his intellectual interests, John has a gift for mimicry which he combines with a keen wit to make him a much sought after companion. Having more than a casual acquaintance with athletics, Noles was the 157 lb. man for the Varsity wrestling team; and in the spring he plays a fine game of tennis.

An Eagle Scout of some acclaim, Bob attended the International Jamboree in England two summers ago and toured Europe. His work for the last four years on the newspaper and in the band added greatly to the success of those two organizations. 21

In two years, Jock has won a great many friends with his good sense of humor, facetious remarks and his repertoire of adventures in Garden City. That his popularity carries over to the feminine set is confirmed by his vast collection of girls' pictures and his many correspondents. Jock started on the Varsity soccer team, captained the newly formed skiing team and pole-vaulted and high-jumped for the track team. 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

George’s zany antics never cease to electrify even the most staid master. His is the master-mind behind every major plot or prank to liven dull routine. George’s even flow of good temperament, twinkling blue eyes and impish grin never fail to soften the shock of his most exciting performances. He played Varsity football for two years; this year, at mid-season, he changed from end to tackle, a position he played dependably and well.

When not arguing with his roommate, discussing cars, or pounding out English notes on his typewriter, Jack can be found putting the finishing touches to a design he has for a new house. Usually the house is so expensive that no one can afford it or else the stairways are not to be found. Despite a miscalculation now and then, Jack has the desire and the ability to become a good architect. Because of his proficiency at typing, Jack was the star typist for the trinitannus. His room, which is usually in a form of neat disorder, is many times the gathering place for intense baseball discussion. 22
