Probably the most relaxed, unperturbed individual to tote leath- er on the CG gridiron, Russ never saw fit to change his poker face, direct speech, or wandering mind. He may have climbed a few trees in his time, but he was never endangered by the academic meataxe. Never one to let the other sex get on his nerves, this man ' s man sure stirred up theirs. When a job was to be done, Russ accomplished it with solidness and drive, re- maining always independent and self-contained. Though still in diapers as a new swab, maturity in experience and outlook was not lacking in Russ. His sinister looking left eye and Dead End Kid expression fool no one who know what an easy going and sincere guy one-eye is. Itussell HtBralil Ferrier « r.

ir PARIS, KENTUCKY Prrrig High School Boxing, Track, Tide Rips, Publicity Comm., Catholic Chapel Comm., Pla- toon Commander i Don ' t let that shy look mislead you because when it comes to the Fightin ' Irish Pinky is right in there. A real sportsman and somewhat of a basketball addict himself, George is never at a oss for the latest hot word on the WILDCATS. Being the loyal son that he is, it ' s a good bet that he has a can of Kentucky soil somewhere in his possession. So far he has successfully shielded it from the view of alien eyes. Swab year George was as jumpy as a caged squirrel, but the situation has since changed — now - we ' re all jumpy. Evidently that had something to do with his dropping Miss G. (the mechanized one) near the end of second class year. Since then it seems he ' s found another Miss G. While in the Land of Tulips during the cruise George found out that there was at least one good thing that did not come from Ken- tucky. In fact he is one of the first to admit that Herr Heinniken markets an excellent product. Gearge Thatnas Dayle

Jahwu MiaBvtBrd Faumier Here is a guy who would rather diddle with mechanisms than date Betty Grable. With more inventions to his credit than Eli Whitney (witness his eight tumbler burgle-proof cash box) this Red Mike amazes everybody with his apparent disinterest for the fair sex. Recognized as something of a loan shark, it is rumored that he has more money than the Treasury Department. Happy Jack has given generously of his time to the Dance Committee, and every formal is a fine product of his efforts. In the world of sports he ventured away from the radiator long enough to pound the leather for one season and trot with the Hill and Vale boys for a couple more. Jack is a confessed career man; we all wonder how long he will be a confessed bachelor. I POLAND, OHIO Poland High School Cross Country, Boxing, Drill Platoon, Dance Committee, Chairman.
