EUGENIA GENTIEU Ming No matter what season of the year it is, Ming can be found participating in sports. She has been active on the school teams-hockey, basketball and softball-Ysince ninth grade. She also enjoys playing tennis, ping-pong and badminton. Without her work on our prom as general chairman last year, it wouldn't have been nearly as successful as it was. Ming's future plans include becoming a gym teacher and returning to Claymont to teach.

CARL LE ROY FRANCIS 6'Carl The music department has been one of many groups to benefit from Carl's contributions. In fact we think he is Claymont's answer to Enrico Caruso. If classes get boring you can be sure Carl will come to the rescue. His fine leader- ship qualities have helped make the Hi-Y one of Claymont High's leading organizations. Carlls future plans include col- lege. We all know he will succeed.

JAMES LEWIS GAMBLE Wim Jim is one of the hardest working members of this year's graduating class. Whenever work has to be done, Jim is always ready to put his talent with the tools to work. As a member of the stage crew, Jim has contributed much to the success of many school plays and programs. He has proven his ability as an active member of the football team. Without Jim's tire- less efforts in decorating for our Junior Prom, the Prom could not have been the success it was. We're sure that if Jim works as hard and long as he has in Claymont High, he will be an asset to our community and country.
