TOM WYLES DAY Tom has suffered with us since his entrance into the eighth grade. He entered in a haze and leaves with a cheer. He has sustained his existence upon this lowly globe by delving into the divine art of dramatics, which endeavor foisted upon us his magnificent rendition of Algey in The Importance of Being Earnest. As well as being a dramatic star, he has been a strong member of the Glee Club. Left to himself Tom would run a mile a day, and join every health club. The rest of us are forced to silence this exuberence in the fear that we might be coerced into following his example: nevertheless, Tom has succeeded in playing very well on the A football, soccer, and tennis teams. May our parting wish be that he never lose his briefcase. NANCY GENE BURGER We know that Nancy is about to join us when we see a brand new Ford hurtling by and hear the screech of brakes and the slam of a car door. Nancy is one oi the gayest members of the class, as well as one of the sweetest and most generous. She is known for having as many new men as new cars. When confronted with the long list of escorts in her life, a dim- ple appears on her cheek as she smiles guile- lessly and says, I'm not really fickle. She has done a wonderful job of keeping us in- formed in the gossip column of The World. Nancy is one of those people who receive very frequent mail from friends, and for whom she knits argyle socks by the dozens. Incidentally Nancy is an automobile salesman of no mean ability.

I-IARRIET VIRGINIA BLAND Stories ol Pine Blutt, Arkansas, a Southern accent, and Ginny became one of us in the eleventh grade. Although that Southern accent doesn't help her in dramatics or Glee Club, the Arkansas men seem to like it. Since Ginny has moved to St. Louis, the most important man in her life is the postman, who brings her warm letters from cold Alaska. While Ginny managed to cut her way through Husmud for a good grade in Biology, algebra will always be her favorite course, Dixie's lucky number was nyne. Ginny will long be remembered for her winning personality, con- sideration for others, open houses, and last but not least, her great ability and enthusiasm for Physical Education. Hail to Dixie! DENNIS PURVER COX Dennis is one of the old guard, having com- pleted the cycle that started at Community and finished with six glorious years at Burroughs. Dennis is not the type of person who does a lot of talking, but he's the kind of person Whom We like to have around because of his understand- ing and his good sense oi humor. There are numerous reasons for admiring Dennis, and we all look up to him as being a man of many ways. Besides being an Air Scout and also showing great interest in Aeronautics, Denny has been an enthusiastic member of the soccer team and of the Glee Club. Dennis is very proud of the fact that he hails from Webster, and is equally proud ot the I-Iudsons that have dominated his family automotive transportation. 'Not bud! Take me back to Arkansas.

Pl-IYLLIS SUSAN CALHOUN A groan and sigh are very characteristic of Phil. How she manages to listen to the Lone Ranger and do her homework at the same time is still an unsolved mystery. Possessing a pair of long legs, she always manages to come through on Field Day covered with high jump ribbons. She is also the star center halt on the Varsity hockey team. Who will ever forget her lectures on sailboat racing technique, the wild tales about camp, and her staunch arguments upholding the South Side? lt is not unusual for Cal to down four glasses ot milk and tive desserts at one meal. She portrayed the per- fect Mildred in Spring Dance, chewing gum and talking with a decided accent. Her sense ot humor and her contagious laugh will long be remembered. l AMES ROGERS DEAKIN Any discussion involving philosophy, class- ical music vs. lazz or any given WORLD article will invariably center about our loquacious, brilliant, and entertaining class critic, lim. An outstanding student ot literature and of social problems, lim has proved his ability to express his ideas as seen on the editorial page of the WORLD and in the class room. His ability in creative writing has been proved by his articles in the lohn Burroughs Review and by his vic- tory in the Star-Times Writing Contest. lim is a master of the art of argument and enlivens all social gatherings by his ready wit. lim is one of the few who know definitely what they want to do for a living. lim wants to talk politics and to write. Life s but rx walking shadow. This stuff drives me. Page Nineteen PHYLLIS SUSAN CALHOUN TENTH GRADE: All A Teams, Review, Sculpture, Photog- raphy, Athletic Medal.
