Km -sys 3 DAVID GAST The only boy since Jon Mathews to brave the rigors of Latin IV, David is eclectic in his appreci- ations. His scholarship is evidenced by his pur- suit ot the classics, the spiritual inspiration he derives from music is evidenced by his daily devotion to the noon broadcasts of negro spirit- uals, and his creativeness is evidenced by his proficiency in trombone versions of Dixieland. PETE COOLEY Perhaps the schools only accomplished political orator, Pete has regularly scored victories at lunch table discussions and class meetings by tatiguing the opposition into acquiescence.

'ir MIKE FAY In his perfect balance between boulevardier savior-faire and rive-gauche culture, in his pro- found comprehension of the highest-caste Brah- min philosophy that the essence of time is not to hurry, and in his discerning choice of theatre entertainment, Mike is a wonderful complement to an otherwise strictly American Senior class. Consider also the labels in his tweeds and his flawless ability to illustrate Morner-written epics and English lectures, and the sketch is complete. STAN MQRNER The greatest athlete Flintridge ever produced, Stan possesses nevertheless a wonderful hu- mility, His consistent ability to break all athletic records at Prep, even when they are his own, has never shaken his imperturbable modesty, Nor are his interests confined to the four sports in which he is peerless: he seldom finds it neces- sary to leave his own library for material to do term papers, and his collection of Immortal Per- formances marks him as a connoisseur of fine music.
