FORREST  ALLEN  SPOONER
                                                                          Entered  1953
                                                                            Williams
                                                     Allen  must  have  spent  his  earliest  days  in  a  crib  with  chalk
                                                   and  blackboard  close  at  hand.  Inappropriately  called  “Woody,”
                                                   he  has  betrayed  since  the  first  algebra  class,  and  we  can  assume
                                                   before  that,  a  phenomenal  ability  in  math  and  all  its  tortuous
                                                   and  devious  derivatives.  His  often  caustic  sense  of  humor  can
                                                   be  quite  as  acute  as  his  mordantly  mathematical  mind.  When
                                                   he is not giving helpful hints to his masters, Allen  is to be found
                                                   running circles  about the  reservoir,  or contributing his  histrionic
                                                   talents  toward  the  betterment  of  the  Dramatics  Club.

                                                                          Entered  1947
                                                                            Columbia
                                                     Since  when  walking  he  barely  manages  to  displace  air,  and
                                                   when  touching anything  he  handles  the object  as  if  it  were  cov­
                                                   ered  with  axle  grease,  Frank  has  created  around  himself  an
                                                   aura,  ethereal  but  pervasive,  of  things  quite  beyond  the  pale  of
                                                   the  ordinary.  Artiste  extraordinaire  and  notorious  freethinker,
                                                   Frank’s  seldom  sober  bon  mots  and  za-oi/is  have  enlightened
                                                   and  frightened  his  classmates  at  one  and  the  same  time.  His
                                                   classy middle  name  and  impeccable  French  accent—with  accom­
                                                   panying hand signals—often combine to make M. Bolduc appear,
                                                   in  contrast,  like  an  American.
