PHILIP CLARK WEBB
Alliance Francaise, III, IV, V, VI; Dance Committee, III; Football, III, IV,
V, VI; Glee Club, III, IV, VI; Proscenium Club, IV; Radio Club, III; Tennis,
III, IV, V; Wrestling, Varsity, III, IV, V; Letter, VI; Tutoring, VI.
P.C. Webb is usually seen wearing some wild new bit of mail
order apparel, flashing a toothy smile, and trying to flatter some
influential acquaintance. Phil has a lot of inherent ability; he is
not, however, renowned as a hard worker-—who has ever seen him
studying, or even found him in his room (closet?) during evening
study hall? Yet he has a certain seriousness of purpose about him.
He is a dedicated Quaker; various Quaker handbooks, such as The
Conscientious Objector, are strewn impressively about his room.
In his monarchial quest for knowledge in American History class,
Phil waged a year-long battle for supremacy with R.S.N. ("Philip,
would you like' to teach the class?") To top all this off, Phil oc
casionally hit the sports scene, and this winter made it big as a
top-notch wrestler.
CHARLES DEARBORN W ICK
Alliance Francaise, III, IV, V, VI; Baseball, IV; French Club, III, IV, V, VI;
Mosaic, VI; Proscenium Club, III; Quaker Cartoonist, V, VI; Soccer Manager,
V, VI; Tennis, III, IV; U.N. Club, V, VI; Wrestling Manager, IV, V, VI.
If you chanced upon the wrestling room any day for the past
three years, you probably beheld a tall, rather loose-jointed lad,
mop in hand, scrubbing the mats with a fanatic's zeal; it was
Charlie Wick. Charlie's academic career— a part of the all-out ef
fort we have come to expect from him— has been most successful.
Those who were present in IV English the day Chick appeared,
looking all the world like a teen-age singing idol, sporting Ray-
Banns, snapping his fingers to "Rockin' Robin" will most certainly
remember that festive occasion for years to come. Neither to be
taken lightly is Charlie's immortal "Box and the Cats", which gave
him his niche in Moses Brown's Writing Hall of Fame. Chickie's
cartoon efforts, "Wick's Pix," became a Quaker regular, much
to the delight of editors and subscribers alike.
ROBERT MARDEN WILSON
Cross Country, Letter, VI; Oceanography Club, VI; Winter Track, Letter, VI;
Spring Track, Letter, VI.
In the Huntington track meet this winter Robert Wilson broke
school records in both the mile and the 1000-yard run (former
properties of classmate Tommy Burnett). "Bubbly," M.B.'s long
distance running machine, deserves his laurels; he runs between
seven and ten miles in afternoon practices, and may often be seen
by creatures of the night in the half-light of freezing dawn doing
three and a half miles before breakfast. (This daily mileage may
not impress long-distance runners, but to us ordinary mortals it is
awesome.) Bubbly s fine SAT scores indicate that intelligence is
cleverly concealed beneath that friendly, guileless facial expres
sion, faintly reminiscent of Dumbo. He even has aspirations to
the college where the ivy has been growing longest. Wherever
Bubbly may have come from, we know he is no ordinary mortal.
