                                                 Jim  Giddings,  somewhat overshadowed  by
                                               the  wonderhorses  in  the  past,  came  to  the
                                               forefront  this  year  by  being  the  first  senior
                                               to gain  acceptance  to college.  Athletically  he
                                               earned  himself three letters, two in track and
                                               one  in  cross  country.  But  most  importantly,
                                               Jim  will  be  remembered  as  the  shadowy
                                               member of the class;  between periods he had
                                               the  habit  of  furtively  slinking  along  the
                                               walls  of  Friends  Hall  from  one  dark  corner
                                               to  the  next,  mysteriously  clenching  his  brief­
                                               case  to  his  knee.  This  suspicious  mannerism
                                               caused  Doc  to  wonder  what  was  really  in
                                               that  briefcase;  but  Jim,  true  to  form,  sus­
                                               tained  his  heroic  silence.  Nevertheless,  that
                                               constant  ticking  from  the  back  of  French
                                               class,  although,  partially  camouflaged  by
                                               grinding  sounds  which  Jim  made  on  the
                                               end  of  his  pen  with  his  teeth,  frightened
                                               Doc  to  the  point  of  distraction.  Jim  may
                                               never  succeed  in  laying  his  tormentor  low;
                                               but  he  will  always  be  remembered  as  Mon­
                                               sieur  le  Tigre.

                                         Gullible  Goofy  Gormley  is  our  Warwick
                                       Necker.  He  drives  a  Cadillac,  a  T-Bird,
                                       smokes,  drinks,  swears,  and  went  to  Europe
                                       last  summer.  What  the  . . .   is  he  doing
                                       at  Moses  Brown?  Well,  it's  been  rumored
                                       that  he  hates  to  study  but  loves  to get good
                                       marks.  His carrel capers and  honors standing
                                       seem  to  bear  this  out.  Who  else  could  take
                                       a  thirty  point  drop  in  math  with  such  out­
                                       right  high  spirits?  A  goody-good  at  heart,
                                      John  tutored  at  Jenkins  Street  School,  was
                                      the  Rotarian  representative  at  the  Biltmore
                                       (he  claims  that  school  lunches  had  nothing
                                       to do with  it),  and  ran  a good  thousand  for
                                       Doc  until  he  gleefully  announced,  "Eve  got
                                       a medical excuse.  No kidneya!" John’s casual
                                       attire,  no-stretch  sweat  sox,  a  crazy  hat,  and
                                       a  goofy  haircut,  have  made  him  a  leader  of
                                       the  M.B.  grubs.  Also,  he  is  so  forthright
                                       himself  that  he  will  believe  anything  any­
                                       body  tells  him.  O.K.,  John,  you’re  going  to
                                      Yale!
