PAUL GIESE Paul Giese is one of the outstanding members of the senior class. Ever since his first year at Lakeside, back in i'-750, Paul has been a leader, scholastically as well as athletically. He held the position of class secretary in his freshman, sophomore, and iunior years, and, as a senior, has held the office of secretary of the student body. An extremely busy mon, Paul was also elected President of the Brownells, and President of the Letterman's Club. A good athlete, he has earned letters in football and in basketball. ..Paul also plays a good game of tennis and was chosen captain of the tennis team while but a iunior. Paul, however, is not one to neglect his studies. He has often appeared on the Honor Roll and was elected to the Cum Laude Society as a senior. A fair share of Gold Stars have drifted his way, Paul has won three annual Gold Stars ond, at this writing, seems well on his way towards a fourth. Paul has been a real asset to Lakeside, as an athlete, scholar, and all-around boy. Affable and easy-going, he will not be forgotten by his many friends.

Although that reputation was soon seen to be well-founded, it told only port of the story about Bob. Immediately he captured the friendship and confidence of his classmates, and by his popular- ity was boosted into the ranks of the school leaders. His senior year found him not only presi- dent of the class but also president of the Parson Club. Everybody has admired Bob's desire for all-around perfection. lt is hard to believe that the cheerful, almost boisterously happy boy we see every day is the same man who heads committees and meetings with such scrupulous gravity, who skis and plays football so energetically that he frequently iniures himself, who represented Lakeside for the first time at Boys' State, or who remained on the Honor Roll and Gold Star list for a whole year. Nevertheless, it is the same Bob. Certainly, he is conscien- tious, but there is no reason for not enioying life at the some time. ln the summer he is to be found sailing anywhere from Seattle to Alaska on his family sailboat. Sailboating, a sport in which he is very proficient, is perhaps his favorite pastime, Bob will attend Dartmouth and study engineering. If difficulties do turn up, Bob is modest enough not to be surprised and sensible enough not to weep. College Choice: Dartmouth. Will: I leave my ability to get hurt to anyone who will accept it.

nician. If he keeps going at his present rate, there can be little doubt that his hopes will be JAMES DAVIS If any member of the class of '55 knows his geography, it is probably Jim. He has spent most of his life in foreign countries, and split his year-and-a-half stay at Lakeside by moving to Jordan. This year, when Jim returned to us from the Near East, we found that he had a wealth of fresh material to add to his already lively conversation. Jim is better read than most, and, in spite of the break in his schooling, also gets better grades than most. His success can probably be traced to his probing intellectual curiosity and to his quite unusual vehemence and energy. This characteristic comes to light especially when he is fencing with Dr, Parrington. He fences violently, yet with enough skill to give his opponent an extremely bad time. Besides fencing, his activities in sports are chiefly centered around rifle and skiing, he has affiliated himself with the Ski Club and the Rifle team. Also, he convincingly portrayed Master Adam Fumee in the play, The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife. As his fascination for anything mechanical would indicate, Jim hopes to become an electronic engineer or tech- fulfilled. College Choice: Northwestern. KENDALL EVANS In September, 1954, from Vancouver, B.C., Kendall Evans came to Lakeside, with the hope of increasing his knowledge of mathematics so that he might enter California Institute of Technology well prepared for the intensive course of study that school offers. Ken's quiet manner and friendly attitude have won him many good friends in the boarding department at Lakeside. His sense of humor is keen but a little too technical for most students. An example is the time Ken constructed a spark-coil transmitter during Physics class and pirated the radio call of another ham at Lakeside. None of us had the slightest idea what he was doing. Ken developed his great interest in radio soon after he arrived in the dormitory through his association with two radio hams , shortly thereafter he acquired a radio broadcasting license which enabled him to ioin the sports is limited to such activities of the type of man who wastes is not interested.

DAVID KEIR MARTIN HOCHFELD Martin is a quiet, inconspicuous boy, friendly to all and scornful of nobody. He has met the constant banter of his more outspoken friends with remarkable tolerance and good nature. We can only admire him for his equanimity. Although Martin has many talents and is very active in school life, he has not las he might quite well have clonel thrust himself into the lime- light. Martin's achievements in his large variety of interests and hobbies serve to illustrate his competence. A member of the Drama Club, he proved himself an excellent actor in Command Decision, and She Stoops to Conquer. His paintings have won him three gold keys in the Schol- astic Arts competition. Shifting to the other extreme of his interests, we find that he skis, plays tennis, has played for several years on his club's football, basketball, and baseball teams, and is a member of the golf team. Whenever Martin took on a iob around the school lwhich was frequently . . . for he was always willing to contribute all his energy to group proiectsl, he always did the work quickly and well in his quiet but competent way, without complaints or without coming back and want- ing to know iust how the iob should be done. There are far too few people like Martin Hoch- field-too few who can be trusted to carry out a voluntary task to its ultimate and successful conclusion without complaints. There is no doubt that Martin's future is a bright one, and we wish him the best of luck. College Choice: University of Washington. For the past four years Hood River, Oregon, has had a worthy representative, Dave Keir, at Lakeside. Even though Dave tends to be a lone wolf and to keep to himself, still his efforts and accomplishments at Lakeside have not gone unnoticed by his teachers and his class- mates. Only by maximum effort and stern determination has Dave been able to overcome the challenges of studying and of living that Lakeside has offered him. Coming from a rural com- munity, Dave had a more difficult task than most in adiusting himself to life in Seattle. Yet he made the adjustment, and learned to live at Lakeside without completely surrendering his accustomed life of the outdoors. For, as a freshman, he was active in the Boy Scout troop at Lakeside, directed by Dr. Cantonwine. As a senior, he was largely responsible for the success of the newly established work squad which was in operation during the fall and spring months. Largely because of his efforts, and because of his ability to work with his hands, Dave became the foreman of the crew. Also, as a senior, Dave did a commendable iob in his work on the stage crew for the spring play. Since his arrival at Lakeside as a freshman, Dave has volunteered for many extra-duty iobs around the campus, has participated in many class proiects, and has been an active Brown- ell Club member. But the best work that Dave has done has been in the dormitory, where he took on duties and responsibilities far beyond the minimum requirements of a worthy senior. In fact, because of his many extra hours of laborious work in the dorm, Dave is now recognized by all as one of the most dependable boys at Lakeside. Because of his accomplishments in his four years at Lakeside, we feel that Dave Keir has learned to live wisely, and we see nothing but a bright future for him. College Choice: Lewis and Clark.
