BERTRAND BEASLEY CASSELS, JR. We all know Bert by his flaming red hair, according to legend, he should be quick-tempered, but this is not true in Bert's case. ln fact, it is almost impossible to make Bert mad or even a bit angry. He is one of the most active and conscien- tious students in his class. He has turned out for Brownell football, varsity foot- ball, and varsity basketball. He has won two letterman awards in varsity bas- ketball, and during his senior year, was awarded the Inspirational Trophy for that sport. Both his determination and his ability contributed to his winning this award and high honor. Bert was elected sergeant-at-arms of his class in his junior year, secretary of the Brownell Club and president of the Athletic Council in his senior year, Also in his senior year, he helped start an active i'pep movement which helped keep high morale both in the teams and in the student body. His excellent spirit and friendly manner have aided in making him one of the most popular students in the school. Bert was the chief delegate to the annual Northwest Religious Confer- ence, and delivered two chapel talks on this subject. He was also very active in planning school social functions and helping his classmates in any way possible. Bert's interest in all school functions and affairs, his activity in them, and his enthusiasm have made him a vital member of his class. His diligence, ability, and friendly manner will all contribute to make him a successful engineer or naval officer. College Choice: University of Washington.

CHASE Tbny came to Lakeside in his senior year and found no difficulty in making new friends and adiusting to his new school. Tony is a likable fellow, always ready with a smile or a ioke or a friendly comment, but he is also a good, hard- working, conscientious student. He has participated willingly in many class and school activities, proving himself to be a loyal and deserving companion to many a Lakesider. He is another one of this year's graduating class who seldom shows his anger or disappointment, no matter how angry or disappointed he might be. Tony is a pretty fair tennis player, but, being ineligible, he could not partici- pate on the tennis team, he did, however, enter into the fall tennis program. He surprised himself and most Lakesiders with his agility on the basketball floor by competing in the winter Brownell basketball program and likewise by partici- pating on the Brownell baseball team. Tony proved himself to be a hard-working student this year, he hopes to en- ter law when he graduates from college, and we are all sure that he will be- come a competent lawyer aided by his diligence, determination, and ability.
