Carmen spends most of his time at the Sports Shop or Recreation Center. Carmen's pet-peeve is homework. It is very seldom anyone sees Muzz overwork himself. Two of his favorite sports are football and basketball. Muzz showed his athletic ability to the school by playing center on the team this year.

CHARLES PERSON And here we have Chally , a very popular fellow. He is usually found with his pals Boyer, Sander, and Williams. Al- though he has many extra curricular activities, he manages to find time to study. Some days you may find him bustling into Mr. Diehl's room just in time for opening exercises. His excuse is usually that a long and slow freight train held him up. The long walk from his home in Weissport does not seem to tire this ener- getic lad, for he is always busy keeping the 11-1 section in stitches with his antics.

DALE REHRIG Presenting one of the rural boys of our class. If you don't know Dale you might think that he is quiet, but, brother, wait until you get to know him. Dale likes to go hunting and fishing and when the season opens, you can find his seat in Mr. Gernerd's room vacant. Dale isn't very interested in extra-curricular activities, but he does spend most of his spare time on his studies. Incidentally. Dale claims his least interest is girls, but we wonder. Dale has no plans for the immediate future but since his home in Ashfield is so near to the fields and streams we predict he will be another Paul Bunyan. Safety Patrol 10,' Nature Club 9.
