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.
FRANCIS JACQUES SYPHER, Jr.
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.
