RICHARD RONALD TAYLOR Entered 1946 Colgate-Student Council '50, Treas. '51, Yearbook '51, Trinity Times '51, Varsity Cross Country '51, Varsity Wrestling '47, '48, '49, '50, Capt. '51, Varsity Track '50, '51. Whether it be telling tales of happy hours spent on Long Island Sound, tying nautical knots in the cords of window shades, or beating up everyone in sight in the wrestling room, Dick is in his glory. His five Varsity letters in wrestling prove his adeptness in that sport, he has been a star of the team ever since his lower school days. DUDLEY BRECKENRIDGE THOMAS Entered 1947 Washington and Lee-Yearbook '51, Trinity Times '50, '51, Glee Club '49, Varsity Soccer '48, V. Baseball Mgr. '48, Descending from a long line of Southern gentlemen fso he tells usj, Dud can usually be found delivering a speech on a topic relating to the Civil War. An amiable personality and long blond hair have made Trinity's Dixie-crat a busy man on weekends when he entertains many a rose-lipped maiden. RICHARD EDWARD VALICENTI Entered 1947 Columbia-Trinity Times '51, Chess '50, '51, Glee Club '50, '51, Varsity Tennis Mgr. 151. Volatile Val has kept us laughing since his arrival at Trinity. He does everything with equal zest, a trait that has made him the star of the lunch hour entertainment group, as well as the terror of the intramural leagues. His main talent seems to be his ability to get along flawlessly with everyone. 21

Basketball '48, Varsity '50, '51, Varsity Track '49, '50, '51. Choo-choo Sig, the galloping Greek terror will long be remem- bered for his athletic abilities. Sig blushes through it all, however, to be one of the best liked boys in school. When not arguing with Heller or dodging sisters who come to watch him play basketball, he can be found standing on his hands. WILLIAM LEE SIMMONDS Entered 1944 Princeton-Cum Laude, Yearbook '50, '51, Trinity Times '50, 51, Varsity Cross Country Mgr. '51, Varsity Track Mgr. '51, Early in the morning you can find Bill, in his post as student librarian, waylaying fellow students trying to sneak by with books long overdue.

CHARLES PETER SMITH Entered 1941 Trinity-Glee Club '50, '51, Varsity Soccer '48, '49, '50, '51, V. Baseball '49, '50, Pete can either be found sitting in the back row munching on a sandwich or brushing up Mr. Bruner-Smith on his grammar rules. A mainstay of the soccer team, his versatility in the music Held is looked upon with awe by his jealous classmates, for whether it be piano, drum, or sax he holds his own with the best of them. 20

ROBERT ARTHUR WACKER Entered 1948 Columbia-J. V. Football '49, '50, Varsity '51, Varsity Wrestling '51, V. Baseball '49, '50. Handsome Bob, well liked by all because of his ingratiating manner, lives under the careful scrutiny of Mr. Dann, and thus spends most of his time trying to keep out of trouble. However, he makes the best of it, and is a tough man on both the gridiron and wrestling mat. PETER WALDBURGER Entered 1947 Colgate-Tau Delta Sigma, Trinity Times '50, V. Football ,50, Varsity '51, V. Baseball '50, '51. Happy Boy is definitely a hold over from another generation of Trinitarians. One of the last of the vanishing herd of carefree Douglastouites, Peter keeps us from taking ourselves too seriously. He is a talented athlete, if gay, and keeps himself in trim by oiling the Waldburger machinery in various night spots. KARL HANS WENDT Entered 1947 Cornell-Trinity Times '51, Rifle '48, '49, '50, '51, Varsity Soccer '50, '51. As the shining light of Mrs. Rogers' Mechanical Drawing class, Karl shows the talent which will enable him to go far in his pro- posed career: architecture. A Jackson Heights man, he is an ardent marksman and plays some good soccer for Mr. Groebli. Karl may usually be found deploring the woman situation in the Heights with T. E. White. ' 22
