                                         Tom Gross,  potentially the greatest athlete
                                       in  the  class,  once  reeled  off  seven  no-hit
                                       games  in  a  row,  on  the  eighth  grade  base­
                                       ball team—unfortunately he was a batter and
                                       not  a  pitcher!  As  a  result  Tom  decided  to
                                       change  his  tack  and  become  a  runner.  He
                                       now  possesses  more  letters  and  fewer
                                       ' Greenies”  from  Doc  than  anyone  else  in
                                       the  school.  Tom’s  achievements  also  overlap
                                       into the realm of studies; he holds the record
                                       for the shortest answer  to  one  of Mr.  Nutt’s
                                       full-period  tests.  A  good  deal  of  his  intel­
                                       lectual curiosity was  stifled  by the Babe, who
                                       kicked  him  out  of  class  for  failing  to  cover
                                       his  effusions  with  a  handkerchief.  Outside,
                                       of  school,  whenever  he  could  manage  to
                                       tear  himself  away  from  the  mirror,  Tom  is
                                       a  whiz.  His  good  looks  and  suave  guitar
                                       playing  provided  him  with  a  large  clientele
                                       for  the  Gross  Blind  Date  Agency,  and  his
                                       strip-laying  sports  car  always  raised  "ooh’s”
                                       of  admiration  from  the  opposite  sex.  With
                                       such  a  violently  loyal  following  how  can
                                       Tom  not  continue  to  succeed  in  the  future?

                                                                     ROBERT  TERRY  HAAS

                                                     Spring Track, Editor-in-Chief of Delphian.




                                                 "Big  Ter”  has  the  distinction  of  holding
                                              a  rare  position:  "main  cog”  of  the  football
                                               team  and  Editor  of  the  Delphian.  Since  the
                                               latter  publication  was  slightly  in  debt,
                                               Terry’s  persuasive  abilities were  put  to good
                                               use  when  a  compulsory  subscription  pro­
                                               gram  to  the  Delphian was  instituted.  Terry’s
                                               free  time  is  spent  racing  his  go-cart
                                               (equipped with two engines of course)  down
                                              Interstate  95,  where  he  has  on  one  occasion
                                              been overtaken  by a state trooper.  Next time
                                              Terry wears his "go to have an  X-ray” pants,
                                              we hope he checks for stray rocks. Never one
                                               to  waste  study  halls,  Terry  tried  to  improve
                                               his math by figuring Hi-low-jack odds on the
                                              side.  Whereas  Terry  is  a  good-sized  lad  at
                                               5' 10"  and  230  pounds,  he’s  also  large  on
                                              brains  and  should  therefore,  with  his  win­
                                               ning  personality,  be  a  big  man  (one way  or
                                              another)  at  college.
