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

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

Harlan G. Fisk Harley Quiet, handsome, afiFable Harley is a young man with autos and things automotive on the brain. He is a good sport and devoted to the sport of auto racing. Harley ' s enthusiasm for instrumental music is reflected in his well developed talent for the .guitar and the banjo. Howevei, he is most famous for his bristly hair, his penchant for Spillane, his enthusiasm for Fords, and his ghostly disappea rances from Woodward. Four years from now, Harley expects to step out into the world as an automotive engineer with his college ambitions fulfilled at the General Motors Institute. No one can more rightfully claim a sheepskin on graduation day, for Harley ' s scholastic endeavors are always of the highest order. Charles G. Frey Garry Baseball. Good-looking, gray-eyed Garry is one of those quiet, unassuming young men who go about their duties efficiently and without much fuss. He is a living example of the old proverb, Still waters run deep. Garry is a compendium of literary knowledge. Gifted musically, he has impressed everyone with his talent for the piano, the saxophone, the accordion and the drums. Already experienced in military service as a member of the Reserves, Garry expects to attend college at Stetson after service in the Navy. 17
