GEORGE GILCREST BLACK HGHH 74 Lewiston Road, Grosse Pointe Farms 36, Michigan College Choice: Williams Entered Williston: 1953 Football 3W, 4W, Swimming ZW, 3W, 4W, Tennis ZW, 3W, 4W, Co-Captain 4, Glee Club 3, 4. George is energy plus. He embodies unending spirit and drive, a combination producing great things when harnessed properly. Always quick with the joke and the stunt, George emerges as the class devil. Bright Rep ties and unbounded allegiance to Detroit are two charac- teristics that identify George immediately. Those who lived near George in the dorm this year will probably never be able to get used to quiet again, but we wish the best to our fun-loving friend. ROBERT ALAN BLUMENTHAL Bl00my 83 Smith Avenue, White Plains, New York College Choice: Colgate Entered Williston: 1954 Hockey 3, 4W, Log 4, Cheer Leader 3, 4, Dramatic Club 4, Glee Club 3, 4, Band 3, 4, Dance Band 3. Always trying to be of help, Bob became a well-known figure around the campus. In the famous Room Four bull sessions of mid- night and after, Bob would always start with White Plains, his mighty playground, and then gradually shift to his White Cadillac. Besides his activities in and about the dorm, Bob could always be seen during the winter out on the ice, stick in hand, ready to go for the afternoon's hockey practice. Bob is sure to be a success in college, and his cheerful personality will undoubtedly carry him far. ROGER KENNETH BOSKY Roger 110 Clarendon Street, Springfield, Mass. College Choice: Brown Entered Williston: 1952 Socger 3, 4W, Hockey 2, 3, 4W, Log 3, 4, Willistonian 1, 2, 3, Science Clu 3. Four years at Williston added to two more in the junior school might be expected to make one a bit cynical, but Rog has retained his basic happy personality and lightened many other boys' lives in dreary times. A first-honor student and a fine athlete, Rog will not change, though times may, and we know that five, ten or fifteen years hence we will find him as happy as he is now. 26

RICHARD JAMES ANDRZEJCZYK fffindyll 11 Dartmouth St., Easthampton, Mass. College Choice: R.P.I. Entered Williston: 1954 Soccer 3, 4. Although Andy's name was impossible to spell, he himself will be equally as hard to forget. In two years at Williston, he was never seen in a bad mood. As a member of the day-boy clique, he brought to Wil- liston a vast portfolio of tales of Easthampton escapades which will linger long in memory. Trademarked by a collection of dazzlingly-colon ed shirts and an almost unbelievable assortment of bow-ties, Andy will be long remembered as few day-boys who live away from the school can hope to be. DAVID ROBERT ATHERTON Doobie 63 Beverly Rd., Montclair, N. J. College Choice: Undecided Entered Williston: 1954 Dramatic Club 4, Glee Club 3. Dave will be remembered by all for the organization of the Doobie Club. This former prowling menace of the second floor of Memorial Dorm switched to Ford Hall'during his senior year and soon made a name for himself. His off-the-cuff dramatic and dancing sketches made everyone about him forget his troubles, with this cheerful opti- mism, Dave will amuse his future classmates. DATUS WILBUR BERLIN JR ffskiplf 17 King St., New York, N. Y. College Choice: Colgate Entered Williston: 1952 Football 2, SW, 4W, Co-Captain 4, Hockey 5, 4W, Baseball IW, ZW, SW, 4W, Willirtoniam 1: Student Council 2,053 Honor Committee 3, Athletic Advisory Board 1, 2, Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, Glee Club 3, 4, Band 1: Outing Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Science Club 1, 2. Skip has always been one of Williston's best-known and best- liked students. A hard-working student and a superlative athlete, he was always batting out either compositions or home runs. Hailing from the heart of New York, he used his experience gained there to be an ever-present leader in any Saturday night outings that were planned. However, none of these is the primary reason for his great popularity. It was mostly that his welcomed friendship extended to everyone in school, not merely a small group. He will be impossible to replace. 25

FRANCIS KNIGHT BRITTON, JR. Frank 84 Howe St., New Haven, Conn. College Choice: Amherst Entered Williston: 1952 Soccer 1, ZW, 3, 4W, Track 1, ZW, 3, Williytoniun 1, 2, 3g Student Council 5: Adelphi-Gamma Sigma 1, Chess Club 1: Glee Club 2, 3, 4, Double Quartet 4, Outing Club 2, 3, 4. Fearless Frankf' the other half of the Britton-Berlin coalition, was, throughout four years, renowned for his pungent, impromptu comments about all phases of Williston life. Author of some of the most amusing compositions ever to be submitted to a Woolley grilling, he used this gift to give humorous vent to his opinions on any and all topics. His off-the-record character sketches were a constant source of hilarity. Seldom has Williston been exposed to such a sincere sense of humor. ROBERT OSCAR CARLSON rrB0bu 167 Reservoir Rd., New Britain, Conn. College Choice: R.P.I. Entered Williston: 1954 Sailing Club 3, 4. Rambling Bob vividly implanted himself in the minds of those about him at Williston. His short naps in physics class, his ingenious questions, and his fiendish experiments there with mercury and rubber bands will long be remembered by both class and teacher. His interests were wide: he enjoyed sailing, music, and bull sessions, but his favorite activities were his excursions to the top of formidable Mt. Tom. His general good nature and sense of humor will mark him in college as an outstanding campus figure. DAVID CARMICHAEL ffH0dgyJl Foamer Rd., Southampton, Mass. College Choice: W.P.I. Entered Williston: 1952 Science Club 5, 4. One of the senior class's hardest workers, Hoagy will be remem- bered most for his skilled renditions on the violin and his speed on the slide-rule in chemistry. Famed as an authority on automobiles and Williston's staunchest supporter of Pontiacs, he could invariably be found minutely examining any new car parked within miles of the cam- pus. Although he took some kidding because, regardless of how hard he tried, he could never quite manage to keep his hair combed through- out the day, Hoag always responded good-naturedly. This June, Wil- liston will yield to the world one of her friendliest students. 27
