Wads Wadhams -an unbelievable bookworm who reads constantly and likes quiet, intelligent girls who read constantly. Wads sings, plays electric harpsichord, electric piano, fuzz organ, writes most of the group's material and aspires to M.I.T. and Harvard.

Furvus Evans -5'9", likes a special girl who is tall, blonde, quiet and very pretty. He plays drums and maracas, and combines an easygoing personality with a tremendous ambition to "make it" in show business. 

D. William Shute --too tall to count, comes from Springdale, Conn., like the rest of the Fifth Estate. He plays electric mandolin, fuzz guitar, likes \\dark, thin, quiet, beautiful girls" and would like to know if there are any fellas who don't. Well, some guys dig loud, fat blondes. To each his own.

The Fifth Estate is the direct result of Wads' fantastic enthusiasm for parties. Wads gives parties for every known occasion including Bastille Day, and often throws parties to celebrate terrific parties that he's just had. Since all the boys live in the same neighborhood, the Fifth Estate just naturally grew out of Wads' cellar, built a local reputation, knocked on doors in New York until they got Steve and Bill Jerome of Real Good Productions to listen, and from there made the jump to Jubilee and stardom. But the guy who plays flute on "Ding Dong" deserves a lot of credit, too.

The boys dress casually - their clothes reflecting individual tastes and moods --constantly switch instruments during a performance and generally work themselves into a frenzy entertaining.

"The thing is," Rik will tell you, "\we enjoy it all so much it's hard to say who has a better time --us or the audience."
