                                                      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,

                                                        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.

                                                     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,

                                                        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

                                                      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.
