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. Com- ing from Texas, the Mop has nevertheless con- vinced us that secession is not necessary.

JOHN CLARK John knows howto keep his own counsel better than anyone in the Senior class With ease and polish he successfully resists the subtlest attempts to learn the details of his private life He is also respected for his Swiftian satire, his fastidious taste in fine writing, and ofcourse for his un- bounded hatred of the faculty, who accept the caustic wit and brilliance of his jabs in the same good humor that he gives them. ,Ms
