GREENWICH, CONN. ■ Greenwich High School ew Haven State Teacher ' s College Dance Committee, Track Manager, Squad Leader 2, Company Executive Ofiicer ' 4 V A native son of Connecticut, Hank came to the academy after a year at New Haven State Teachers College. Since his arrival, he has been giving the Dance Committee the benefit of his ideas and energy. Hank has been Fig ' s right hand man for the past two seasons with the track team, running the show all the way. He seems to like the summer cruises as he has taken more than the usual number as a cadet. However, wherever he goes he seems to attract the female element. Then he plays everything K.G.I. Studying and Hank are definitely not synonymous, and for him there is only one way to spend liberty . . . outside the gates. Never completely dry, always happy, and full of gay repartee. Hank will certainly do well in any environment. Metury Herhew t Belt

L . - r : HayMnantl Charles Bassett Jr. A firm believer in the old adage, In obscurity lies security, Ray has been recognized as one of the quiet and more reserved mem- bers of our class. He is also recognized as one of the more talented members of Fifty-one, for Ray has become the distin- guished artist of the Dance Committee and all of the various cadet publications. The cartoons in this book illustrate quite well not only his fine work, but also his keen sense of humour. And who could ever forget the 400 club posters back in ' 48! Ran- some (his pen name) is also a musician of sorts, to those who like harmonica and guitar. He relishes fresh fruit and more than once has been bounced for lumpy laundry-bag. Though he lays no claim to being a lover, he has been seen with some very nice bundles of pulchritude. With his level, easy going nature and sense of humour, Ray should be in for smooth sailing.

Class Boat Crew, Monogram Club, Publicity Comm., Sguad Leader 2, Company Executive Officer Take six feet of kinetic energy, sheepish grin, and constant wilhngness to help out, top it with a vermilion thatch, and you have New England ' s own Bill Bleakley. In his wake of activities and accomplishments you can find almost everything from soup to nuts. Cheerleading ( Wilfieee!!! ) varsity swimming, manag- ing the baseball team, taking the pictures you see in this book . . . these just mention a few. The Bleak always does OK with the books, too, and many ' s the time he has been seen tutoring some of us more unfortunates. And the best part of it is that success doesn ' t phase him a bit. He ' s still the same old easy- going, hard-working, friend-in-need fellow that everybody likes. Wilfred Robert Bleakley, Jr. t C
