LAWRENCE MATTOR Larry BATH, MAINE Wit is the .falt of conversation, not the food. Larry came from Morse High School to Bridgton Academy for his senior year, so his early life is a deep, dark mystery to us. However, his quiet wit and friendly ways give us a clue to a past full of dames and dancing, with a bit of studying on the side. Carnival Committee 4: Stage Committee, Operetta 4. PATSY ANNE MERRILL Patsy HARRISON, MAINE There are smiles that make us happy. Patsy's a gal who is always willing to be your friend, to laugh with you, or to tell you what's what. We hear that Patsy did extra good work in the Leaders' Corps--that she could really put the grammar school students through the exercises. How about Leroy, Patsy? Do you make him toe the mark, too?

ROBERT NICKERSON Nick SAUGUS, MASSACHUSETTS Ready for work, ready for play, Always happy, good-natured, and gay. Nick is one of those Cleaves Hall terrors, not only on the basketball floor but also on the hockey rink. He contributed much toward making the hockey season the success that it was, and as soon as the ice melted he decided he'd like to sink a few baskets for the basketball team. Nick is one of those fellas the girls all swoon over. What's this we hear about a brunette, Nick? Hockey 43 Basketball 4: Baseball 43 Stunt Night 4.
