'7 MARTIN KILCOMMONS Lefty is an able person. For three years he has held the position of star basketball guard, slugging first baseman, and ground-gaining fullback, and he has held them with ease. His popularity was attested to by the Courier poll early last year.

EVERETT LITTLEFIELD If Everett's rather antiquated vehicle should suddenly succumb to wear and tear, we feel sure that he would be delighted at the opportunity to tinker with it. EILEEN McGOVERN We don't hear Eileen very often, but when we do manage to catch her soft voice, we are generally listening to something more than chatter. Hi-Y 2 3 4: Courier 2; Dramatic Club 2: French Club 3 4: Latin Club 3 4; Ping Pong 4: Rock Rivalry 4: The Rock 4. ADELE MULLIGAN Adele is the girl who has supplied Wally Phillips with paper all year. Incidentally we wish we had her knack of looking angelic whiie muttering appropriate witticisms. Dramatic Club 2- French Club 2 3 4- Rock Rivalry 4- The Rock 4: Latin Club 2: Tennis 4.

IRENE MULLIGAN Irene is the quieter and more subdued of the Irish twin combination. Gerard says she is more affable than her sister. How does Gerard know? French Club 2 3; Latin Club 2 3 4.

JEAN POLLOCK Considerate and friendly, Jean Pollock figured in two events in the past year that were news: Jean got her homework assignments in on time, and she spoke with enough volume for the whole class to hear her with ease. The Rock 4. HILLIARD PROCTOR Hilliard, the third of the railroad coterie, was twice elected President of the Boys’ Hi-Y, and we think his outstanding accomplishment was getting this club under way after previous attempts to found it had failed.
