Post Fordon Since Post ioined us in the eighth grade, he has been Known as the wittiest and most colorful boy in the class. His eFFer- vescence never ceases: as a result, he has been prominent in Varieties since his Freshman year and has taken active part in many other extra-curricular activities, such as the Service Club, Library Committee, and Glee Club. Athletically, Post is a stalwart ot the tennis team, lettering in his Junior year. His popularity is not to be forgotten either. His classmates elected him Senior Vice-President, lmowing that they can always depend upon him to put his tinest efforts into anything worthwhile. Monica Maria Sterba Monica, our class Vice-President and Secretary combination, is the smallest and one of the blondest ot our number. Her literary talents are always in demand: she is on the board ot PEN POINTE and is active on the staff of TRI-STAR, not only writing but distributing and collecting as well, ably filling the position ot news convenor. Monica, too, has been a modern dancer and, at one time, a member ot the Glee Club: and on top of everything her scholastic record is enviably high. She will never tind it dilticult to malxe friends because she is that rare combination-a good listener and an interesting con- versationalist. Peter Hack Giblin Pete's cherubic face has been in our midst since I945, and he has been active in school affairs all the time. In the literary world, he was Alumni Editor of the TRIANGLE last year and has been a constant contributor to the D.U.S. WRITER. Gifted dramatically, Pete has been in Varieties tor two years and was a principal in the school play last year. He has par- ticipated in almost all varsity sports since the tenth grade, lettering twice in baseball. His scholastic achievements are in every way comparable to his extra-curricular standards, making him one ot the outstanding boys-on-campus. 26
