John K. Zoeller Treasurer of the Senior Class, Lettermen ' s Club, Basketball, Baseball. Congenial, lanky, nonconformist John sporadically rides such hobby horses as purposeful absenteeism and non-note-taking in P. O. D. an outstanding basketball player for Woodward, John received All Prep Honorable Mention during the 1954 basketball season and is a member of the 1956 All Prep Team. A self-styled future millionaire, John ' s more immediate projected future includes Army service and college at Western Maryland. The charter members of the Second Floor Smoking and Bull-shooting Club will miss John ' s infectious humor and renowned collection of words of wisdom. Sydney A. Abel ' ■Syd Basketball, Baseball, Log Staff, Glee Club, Skipper ' s Club. Good old Syd, Woodward ' s champion guesser, according to Mr. Stone, doesn ' t have to guess when figuring his number of friends at Woodward — he ' s got plenty of ' em. A member of the lunchtime Coffee Shop clique (which, by the way, is often joined by the astonishing Professor Stone), Syd exercises his great talent in speculation upon the identity of Bob Mangels ' latest. (In this exchange, the scope of Mangels ' operations defeats Abel ' s perception; the form just has too many chicks for Syd. J George M. Baldwin Stub Football, Lettermen ' s Club. Popular, amiable, easy-going George is good nature personified. A man of many talents, Stub does everything with poise and aplomb and the least possible effort. A consciously unconscious humbrist he gives fulsome and erudite (and repetitious) talks on the feeding and care of coons. George intends to see spaces and places and then to run for political office. 15

John M. Seekins Pellegrini President of the Senior Class, President of the Skipper ' s Club, Lettermen ' s Club, Associate Editor of the Log, National Honor Society, Glee Club, Football. Popular man on the G. Street campus , John is a man of myriad talents and interests, and has a linger in more pies than Betty Crocker. A member of the Board of Sibley Hospital for six hours daily, John still finds time for such enthusiasms as football, Ogden Nash, Wisconsin, Gilbert and Sullivan, the Bayou, Wisconsin, Louis Armstrong, Mr. Stone and Wisconsin. A fine personality and a cooperative leader, (in spite of a reputation for hassling), John expeas to dabble in politics after he is established as an engineer. Bruce M. Alexander Bruce Vice-President of the Senior Class, Skipper ' s Club, Hi-Y Fellowship, Log Staff, Glee Club, Football, Baseball. Clean-cut, able Bruce is a leader, a sportsman and an erudite student. Individualist Bruce is famed for unfailing stands against everything in arguments, but when he expresses himself, it is because of sincere convictions on the subjects. Aside from academic achievement, Bruce has also distinguished himself on the gridiron where he has been one of the mainstays of Woodward ' s football team. Bruce ' s chosen profession is that of chemical engineer and the success that he has achieved at Woodward is an augury of the success that he will attain in the future. David F. Camp Secretary ' of the Serfior Class, Vice-President of the HI-Y Fellowship, Glee Club, Lettermen ' s Club, Service Club, Football, Basketball, Baseball. A long-time imbiber of Woodward knowledge is Dave, our all-around boy. Athlete, scholar — these nouns describe D. Camp. Kind ( when it comes to helping sweet young things), friendly (when his pocket is unloaded), good-natured (when vacation time approaches) — these adjectives likewise are accurate ones for our hero. In addition, he manages to find time to explore all of our natural resources for additions to his bug collection. Future plans.- ' Dave may become a bug-ologist. Or, how about a star basketball player (if only Mr. Zook would recognize Dave ' s hidden but present talent;. 14

Wallace L. Bond Good-natured Wally, called by some Bottled in Bond, is the Good Samaritan of 1736 G. The kid looks tough, but he ' s got a heart of almost pure gold; there ' s little he would ' t do for a friend. And Wally has plenty of ' em. It ' s impossible not to like Wallace. You have to admire him, too, for his academic efforts. Wally does a great scholastic job with a rough course. This may be maudlin sentiment, but fellows like W. Bond make Woodward a more pleasant place in which to learn. I J Richard M. Curtin Dick A hard working student, as well as a mischievous one, Dick is well on his way. Despite his sardonic brand of humour he has achieved a place high on the Woodward popularity list. One thing about Dick, he never allows himself to lose that Sweet ( .- ' ) disposition. He will go far in his chosen field. Joseph L. Ciampa, Jr. Sonny Worked in Office, Hi-Y Fellowship. Quiet, amiable Joe gives generously of his time at Woodward, in such widely separated activities as helping in the administrative office and securing giant-sized headgear for giant-sized heads on the football team. A future as a wealthy and conservative railroad magnate is inevitable for Joe. Already a Republican and a builder of model cars and model railroads, he plans to prepare for his career by studying business administration, after completing his course at Woodward. 16
