Bill, the most traveled of the seniors, is as familiar with the Alps of Switzerland as with the valleys of Brazil. His travels have given him a continental air quite apparent in everything he does. He is a firm believer in the old adage, a picture is worth a thousand words ; and as photography editor for the yearbook, he has demonstrated his belief by producing an abundant and excellent collection of pictures. In addition to photography, Bill's other love is music, a subject he is quite ready to discuss at any time. He is as well informed about Spanish gypsy music as he is about rock 'n roll.

J., another one year man, is held in high regard for his knowledge of hockey, rock 'n roll and women. As a member of the Varsity football team, John was well known throughout the league for his Rock-of-Gilbraltar brand of football at right tackle. His skill at hockey is equal to his unlimited knowledge of the sport. He can rightfully say that he contributed a great deal to the success of the hockey team. A serious and modest boy, J. J. has devoted a lot of time to mastering chemistry. He plays a twangy guitar in the Dance Band, but sometimes he gives private recitals in the bathroom of Johnson Hall with the Rhythm Boys.

Whatever Rod does, whether it be kicking up cinders on the track, booting a soccer ball out of shape, or complaining about the mysteries of chemistry, he does it with spirit and vitality. Rod, an example of what hard work and perseverance can accomplish, has won the Most Improved Soccer Player award for two years in a row.- 24

Al has been termed a study in solid geometry due to an alleged physical resemblance to a triangle. However, Al manages to keep his head whatever his shape, and retains an abundance of good nature and carefree gaiety. Unjustly termed a Glee Club ringer”, Al is a staunch supporter of the Choir, Octet and Glee Club; he has the rare ability to learn his part and sing it in key. A fair man with the ladies, Al spends a great deal of time in the Johnson Hall phone booth keeping the flame alive . When discussions about vacations arise, he is instantly willing to tell about summers on Cape Cod. Dick 1957 RICHARD HUNT VAN HORN Wingdale, N. Y. Football, J.V. 3; Hockey, J.V. 3; Wrestling 4; Track, Varsity 4; Rifle Club 3; Project Group 4; Acolytes’ Guild 4; Glee Club 4. Dick is the class expert on science fiction, trapping and guns.

A sports enthusiast, Dick played football, and during the past winter he tried wrestling. Coaches found he had the natural qualifications to be a very good wrestler, and his record shows the coaches were right. Besides his many interests, Dick finds time to get good grades in spite of his schedule, which is the heaviest in the Senior Class. A good mathematics student, Dick is headed for a career in the field of science. Bubby 1957 ROBERT SAMUEL VAUGHN 455 Woodland Street Bristol, Conn. Football, Varsity 3, Captain 4; Basketball, Varsity 3, 4; Baseball, Varsity 3, 4; Trinity-Pawling Times 4- Bubby’s career at Trinity-Pawling has added a cheerful note to many otherwise unbearable situations. His husky laugh has endeared him to his classmates and, after a bull session in his room, participants leave chuckling over a newly coined phrase now universally recognized as a Bubbism . On the gridiron Bob was the man the team depended on for that yard for a first down or a desperately needed long gain. His fiery spirit and consistent performance won him the Captaincy of the football team. Bob was an outstanding member of the basketball squad; and, as star catcher on the baseball team, his big bat is the terror of the league. 23

A rare combination of musician and athlete, Ken was the president of the Glee Club and an active participant in the Choir and Octet.

He was a triple threat quarterback for the Varsity football team and a tremendous pitcher for the baseball team.
