SPRINGFIELD, MASS. Technical High School Sailing, Drill Platoon, Mess Comm., Guidon Bearer .. Bob, the fellow with the friendly, almost angelic smile and easy- going air of nonchalance will long be remembered as the or- ganizer of class gatherings at the poor man ' s Latin quarter. Academics were a breeze for Bob, though he did sweat out a few finals. Many were the study hours he spent closeted in his locker with his portable listening to the dulcet tones of one Evelyn Knight. On more than one occasion the old adage, You can ' t beat the system , was challenged by Springfield ' s finest. An ardent baseball fan he became antisocial when Boston suf- fered a defeat and a losing streak was catastrophic. Bob, an all around athlete, confined his efforts to P.E. classes where his lay- up shot proved a decided asset to any team. Thus equipped with the ability to keep himself happy and with an interest in other people, this blithe spirit ventures out into the cruel world on the voyage of his career. Rahert Brauyn Grawut

Hl Ted JLane GaiBnaBvay It is said that good things come in small packages and that is certainly true of Ted. A little guy (almost had to stand on tiptoe to make the required 5 4 ), he packs a big load of fun and friendliness. A class gathering at the club will nearly always find him in the quorum. He is a true disciple of Bacchus and strongly believes that the sailing team should have several hours of intense training before every meet. Although he has done well for himself, he would be one of the last to rate the name cutter . Any hour of the day or night finds him ready for a discussion of the finer things of life or a hot hand of bridge. T. Lane has a good head on his shoulders and a way of getting along with people where it counts. SILVER SPRING, MD. Bullis School Sailing, Squad Leader 2, Platoon Petty Officer M 26

? ' V Grub — at first glance rather quiet, ' almost shy, seeming to pos sess the naivete of a freshman in the old fashioned boarding school. But on better acquaintance one finds real substance in the form of a well practiced wit, an easy conversationalist and an old hand at any social function. A touch of Oxford, a dash of Yale, a pinch of Dartmouth, and a seasoning of Harvard couldn ' t do any better, and to think that little old Coast Guard did it alone. A real Don Juan, always finding dates for the dateless and still ending up with more than enough for himself. Never let studying interfere with bull sessions and yet always academi- cally high when the final tallies came out. To top it off. Grub- ber ' s main ambition in life — to be a song and dance man.
