KYRAN WALSH CARSON I NKHU 99 Mountain Rd., West Hartford, Conn. College Choice: Undecided Entered Williston: 1954 Hockey 4W, Track 3, 4, Sailing Club 3, 4, Secretary-Treasurer 4. Although Williston has had many representatives of Hartford in the past, Kit is the boy who has made the name of that town famous by his ringing descriptions of his escapades there. In his brief sojourn here, he has made friends right and left through his eager readiness to join any undertaking or out-joke any and all comets. He is not an outstand- ing athlete, but everyone connected with him knows and respects his courage and desire to do his best. Always remembered for his smile and helping hand, Kit will be one whose friendship will be coveted wherever he goes. DAVID CHASE ffDa1jeU 191 Gulf St., Milford, Conn. College Choice: Trinity Entered Williston: 1954 Tennis Manager 3, 4W, Log 3, 4, Associate Literary Editor 4, Willis- tonian 3, 4, Copy Editor 4, Dramatic Club 3, 4, Sailing Club 3, 4, Y- Cabinet 4. ' Dave, with perseverance and patience, earned himself a fine record at Williston. His invaluable aid in getting the copy typed will never be forgotten by the Willirtonian and Log editors. Always carrying a smile and ready to help, he could be found in the Gym, the snack bar, or Ford Hall keeping the wheels of school life turning. Dependability was his watchword, if he said he would do something, it was done. All that hard work and faithfulness can achieve in this world Dave is sure to get. PETER DUDLEY CLAPP Pete 367 Blossom St., Fitchburg, Mass. College Choice: Denison Entered Williston: 1954 Football 3, Skiing 3, 4, Track 3, Glee Club 3, 4, Double Quartet 3, 4, Band 3, 4, Dance Band 3, Science Club 4. In the two years that he has been at Williston, Pete has shown himself to be a hard worker and a firm friend as well as an incomparable musician. Displaying his great versatility, Pete was not only a member of the Glee Club and the Double Quartet but also a trombonist in the Dance Band. In the dormitory he has added his musical touch to the confusion of the dorm chatter. His love for Dixieland was continually audible as streams of hot music flooded Ford from his home-made phonograph. This and one of the most easy-going dispositions in the class make it easy to understand why Pete has made so many friends at Williston. 28 .A it rw '- Rm .af .V K, ei- . 1 we . gt.t--a'+1f- .. va ,., 1 U vlehili 's-1i.,2.jWK K ws 31 ' ' x . -www!!--,-QL gs -QA 'f Avia sz gs.

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

JOHN ANTHONY COE rrjohnu 186 New Church Rd., Hove, Sussex, England College Choice: Undecided Entered Williston: 1955 Football 4, Glee Club 4. From Piccadilly to Soho, john must have moved with easy assurance. His indefatigable charm quickly manifested itself from the moment of his arrival. Much impressed with American society, he has assimilated much from that experience which Williston offers. A diligent student, John has associated himself with the scholars here. His Heetness has made him a star in the football and track scene, and his form has cut a dashing figure at the social functions around the school. England's legacy has been well accepted and much admired at Williston. MICHAEL BRADFORD CONANT Smokey 19 Cannon St., Norwalk, Conn. College Choice: Wesleyan Entered Williston: 1954 Log 4, Willmonimz 3g Adelphi-Gamma Sigma 3, 45 Radio Club 53 Science Club 3, 4. Mike has been an easily recognizable Hgure on the campus because of his unruly red hair and constantly smoke-filled lungs. His resounding voice made his constant jokes and parodies of the faculty heard through- out Ford Hall, while his Hi-Fi set loudly proclaimed his love for rock- and-roll music. Mike's unofficial and heated debates always enlivened Adelphi meetings and sharpened Mr. Thotnas's temper. However, be- hind the outward appearance, Mike was a diligent worker with clear goals in mind and never failed to achieve success when he could. CONRAD THEODORE COULOMBE Connie 14 Second St., Auburn, Maine College Choice: R.P.I. Entered Williston: 1953 Hockey 5W, 4W, Track 1, 3, 4. Connie has gone through a metamorphosis in his three years at Williston. His famous escapades are things of the past. This year Connie really settled down in his first-floor abode and proved himself a tireless worker -- one capable of getting great results. He could, when he chose, amuse his classmates with his inimitable Coulombish French. His aggressiveness, mixed with just the right amount of happy-go-lucky humor, should really take him places. 29
