J % Stephan S. Kaufman Steve Service Club. Fun-loving Steve has the most disarming smile at Woodward, a Characteristic which will be of great service to him in his chosen field of insurance. Jovial and clever of wit, Steve has brightened many a dull session with his whimsical nonsensicalities. His adventures in his Freshman year with many of his classmates have never been equalled and never will be. There is no one in the class of ' 56 who surpasses Steve in generosity and good-fellow-ship; and he is a man with a will and an ability to succeed. Thomas H. Lyons Tom Hi-Y Fellowship, Service Club. Vital, energetic Tom is a man who has planned a long-range but precise future which includes chemical engineering and a walk down an aisle four years from June 15, 1956. In the chemistry lab, Tom keenly enjoys the experiments from the front row. With a light-hearted philosophy Tom has survived the down-to-earth realities of National Guard Service, and now he is ready to experiment with the explosive possibilities of college and married life. Michael W. Mooney Mickey Basketball. Pleasant, unassuming Mickey has a well-rounded personality, which reflects his philosophy of life, live and let live. His late arrival at school had no connection with his home address, Occoquan, Va., and Woodward was mighty glad he came. Still a late arriver at chemistry classes, he holds the class spellbound with his test tube mixtures. A real spell-binder in his performances on the basketball court and in bull sessions, well-informed Mickey will continue to develop his talents in college. IT- ' ■il ' ' 19

Richard S. Heller Dick Triangle, Year Book, Scholastics sports Association. Dick, Woodward ' s Man with the Pen, is a fellow who ' s planned his future: he ' s going to become the next Grantland you-know-who. Already Managing Editor and ace reporter of The Washington Daily News ' Scholastic Sports Association, Dick puts in plenty of time writing his fine articles. His best fans ' ' That ' s a cinch; his ' Woodward schoolmates. It ' s been rumored that Dick has a helicopter to take him from the Y roof to that of The News. Despite his extensive newspaper duties, Dick still manages to be one of Woodward ' s better and more popular students. Richard W. Hill Speedo Glee Club, Bowling Club. Generous, determined, Dick seasons his interest in sports with an intellectual flavor, having a fine collection of books on sports and sporting records. Possessed of a large portion of fortitude, Dick is a man who is bound to make himself heard, not only in the stentorian tones which reverberate through Woodward ' s halls, but also in successes in that college in Ohio which he plans to attend after graduation. Sanford W. Horstman, Jr. Tony President of the Honor Society, Skipper ' s Club. Editor of the Log, Hi-Y Fellowship, Glee Club. Likeable, intelligent, imperturbable Tony is a man whose good humor and charm of manner are only equalled by his sincerity and his singularly even temper. No one knows better than Tony the value of the kind word and pleasant smile. Under all this suavity of manner there lies a singularly forceful character and a will and purpose that sees its objective and then, with Teutonic thoroughness, sets out to achieve it. Tony has swung a mean ski on the mountains, has hurled projectiles into the skies, and after only two years, has left a distinct impression of his high aims and engaging personality on Woodward. 18

Charles M. Murphy Pops Quiet, amiable Pops is a man who spends several hours every afternoon trying to memorize the I.B.M. slogan, Thimk! after leaving school and Mr. Stone in a state of silent awe at the workings of his keen analytical mind. In addition to the more mundane tribulations of his school-work-worry program. Pops ' life has been further troubled by the rumor that he is, in reality, Mr. Seekins ' father. After completing his planned course of studies at George Washington University hard-working, ambitious Pops, with his winning personality, is certain of success in his chosen field. Michael L. Murdock Mike • . C - w iA Lettermen ' s Club, Hi-Y Fellowship, Basketball. Pleasant, personable Mike is a fine student whom Woodward has had to share with St. Alban ' s. Woodward was temporarily deprived, not only of an ace dancer and swimmer, but of as fine a collection of garments for gentlemen, as ever were paraded forth from a single closet. A June graduate, happy-go-lucky Mike has a head start on his classmates. After completing his studies at the University of North Carolina, socially talented, gregarious Mike is destined to have the most meteoric career, in advertising since George Washington Hill and Luckies. Marcus E. Penn Mark This is Woodward ' s mystery man, Mr. X. In the traditional mold, he ' s dark, if not particularly tall and handsome. Penn ' s singular claim to immortality is this: how can he make himself so conspicuous by merely sitting still all day. ' Though Mark is hardly one of Woodward ' s more dynamic persons, his cute little mannerisms are familiar to fellow students (who adore them) and teachers (who don ' t) alike. But we are sure Mark will make his mark in the world. • fe 20
