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

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

A true southern gentleman, Dick has real stature as a baseball player. Manager of the Woodward Basketball and Football teams, Dick regretfully turned down a tryout with the Baltimore Orioles, being too busy with such activities as escorting dowagers down the carpeted aisles of Constitution Hall and running a still in the chemistry lab. In the fall Dick will leave the not so old family plantation to study veterinary medicine at Iowa State College. Woodward will miss his generous and enthusiastic loyalty. L. Charles Rumsey Rumi Asst. First Aid Instructor. Fun-loving, racing-enthusiast Rums combines a proDensity for cynicism, with service to his community as a volunteer on the B. C. C.

A pleasant and talented person, Jack expects to attend the University of New Mexico. 21
