Senior WILLIAM FRANCIS COPLEY South Gate, California Age I7 Football 3, 4. Here we have the he-man of our class. Come what may in the way of physical labor and endurance tests, Bill is always ready and eager to try his hand. He does his share and more. Truly from all the moving and building he has done around the plant, if we can't call him founder of Villanova, we can at least point to him as a powerful prop. But Bill is much more, because he can do a good job on the football ,field-he never backs up. And there is no one at Villanova who can challenge his lidelity of application to his studies. His humor is ready and sometimes on the courageous side, but it is always full of amuse- ment and utterly lacking in sting. His straightforwardness, sincerity, and com- plete cheerfulness have won the school to him. We'll miss him very much, but we'll be happy in the realization that wherever he may be, whatever he may be doing, he will be doing his best, and that will mean he is bringing success to his work and himself. We just know. 'K' n 6' Bill works hard at all he does, He tries his very best To do some more than quite enough, His joy is work-not rest. E263

l l Sveniur MARCUS ESKETH CRAHAN, JR. Los Angeles, California Age I7 Football 1, 2, 3, 4. Basketball 1, 2, 3. Baseball 1, 4. The Prep Times 1, 4. The Villanovan 4. Marcus is a man with whom you ought to get acquainted, first of all for your own sake, and secondly because you can then more easily appreciate the effects he has wrought on the class as a whole. He is a big fellow with a ready smile. He is possessed of the will to argue for an unlimited time on an unlimited range of topics. He will venture an opinion on anything from the last baseball game to the hereafter-or the next election. But he really has something to say. ln addition there is the fact that he is one of two members of the Class of ,47 to play Varsity football for four years. His influence in all class activities has ever been strong and helpful. ln fact it has been good enough to win for him the recognition of his classmates, who chose him for their president. On the Student Council he has been a real promoter of school morale. The Senior Prom so memorably conducted owes its success chielly to him. 'I' 'I' 'E' A friendly lad to talk with, A lad whos true by deed, These make Marcus one wli0's liked, And one we seniors need. E271
