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

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.

ROBERT ODLIN COYLE ffB0bU Bulkley St., Williamstown, Mass. College Choice: Williams Entered Williston: 1954 Hockey 3, 4Wg Willirtoninn 3, Dramatic Club 3, 4, Outing Club 4: Sailing Club 5, 4. ' Bob has successfully moved through the Williston scene with a serious tenacity of purpose, disguised sometimes by whimsical vagary. His sly smile and sparkling eyes can fully express his feelings on a sub- ject. An excellent dresser, Bob has demonstrated the benefits of Wil- liston's social advantages. Bob is an individualist who seems to see his goals clearly in life as well as on the hockey rink. Primed by a quick, sharp wit, he has often asserted his rhetorical powers on stage and in pri- vate. From a quiet indifference, there often bubble subtle traces of his dry humor. He has attained a solid comradeship with all those who have come in contact with him and can face a college career with assurance of success. College Choice: Duke DANIEL deSCHWEINITZ DARROW rtDdn7! 5847 Howe Drive, Mission Kansas College Choice: Amherst Entered Williston: 1953 Soccer 4, Hockey 2, 3W, 4Wg Track 2, Track Manager 3, 4Wg Willir- toniam 4: Sailing Club 2, 3, 4: Vice-President 4, Science Club 3, 4: Presi- dent 4. i A bobbing red head, a blast of almost-melodious whistling, and a cheery Hin invariably meant that Dan had passed by. Whether scram- bling around to get speakers lined up for forthcoming Science Club meetings, feverishly buckling on his hockey equipment in preparation for demonstrating his great skill on skates, or dashing off a letter to the famous Robin, he was always on the move. His ugebrochenes Deutschi' was the reason for many of the smiles on the faces of his neighbors in Ford. It seems impossible that Williston will ever replace this eifer- vescent ball of energy. 30 SAMUEL ARTHUR CRAGO ffsamll 1841 Asylum Ave., West Hartford, Conn. Entered Williston: 1952 Football 3, 4W, Log 4, Williytonian 4, Dramatic Club 3, 4, Stage Mana- ger 4, Science Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Whenever a deep, booming laugh was heard reverberating around the walls of Ford Halls first floor, it could always be traced back to Sam's room. Although dwelling in what might be considered an ominous lodg- ing, Room 13, he was anything but unlucky because of it. Possessed with an irrepressible happy-go-lucky attitude, he never let anything hold him down for long, but his large, stalwart form hunched over his desk gave not-always-silent tribute to his never-failing determination.
