Donald Goodman: Goody”— Better not stand in the school driveway—can't you see Don is crawling (ha ha) up the hill.

Art Club 2, Key Club, Com- munity Council, Junior Play Committee. Joyce Dufly: Joyce — Most any seventh period Joyce can be found teaching her pupils the finer arts of baton twirl- ing.

Rita Hartnett: Rita —Here's a puzzle—she's beautiful, but lives in an ivory tower. Is she shy or does she want to be alone? That lovely smile com- plicates matters still further. Rita is new to us this year, but what is going to happen when she gets better ac- quainted? Activities: Chorus 4, Library Club. Maurice Hay: Morrie — Here's another of our senior road experts. Coming from the country, he always takes pleasure in arguing with Mr. Egan about -the latest farming methods or the cost of insur- ance on a DeSoto. If the rest of us had a build like that, we wouldn't need machines to do the work. Activities: Student Council, Band 6, DeMolay, Barnyard Basketball 4, Future Farmers of America, 4-H Club 7. Philip Hayduke: Phil — An- other of those tall country boys who is way up in the clouds with a great big grin. He's more the quiet type, but he'll talk for hours on his 4-H projects. Everything seems to point to a farm in the country with honest Abe Hayduke splitting rails. Activities: Barn- yard Basketball. Paul Houck: Paul —A whiz on skis if there ever was one. There isn't a hill that Paul wouldn't tackle even if it were a glare of ice. He should be able to outdistance any of the Olympic jumpers any day. He just seems to take off like a bird. Activities: Scouting 6, Varsity Football, J.V. Base- ball 2. Evelyn Heron: Evie” — Look out, here comes Evie, terror of the sixth period dramatics class.

Activities: Chorus 2, Red Cross 2, French Club 2, Jour- nalism 2, Volleyball 2, Basket- ball 4, Junior Play, Senior Play. Robert Hourihan: Bob —One of Mr. Egan's bad dreams—so he claims. Bob manages to turn up at the most unusual times to haunt the health classes. It's just a new way to keep the class moving, and with that wit, it really moves. Activities: Chorus, Red Cross, Athletic Association, Barnyard Basketball, Interclass Basket- ball, Varsity 3. Robert Johnson: Hickok — The Corner Pharmacy may well be called Bob's hideout —only he just works there. He plays a mean toot on the sax, either alto or tenor, and some- times he Iries to play both. Some of that music just isn’t written for the times that Mr. Whitman isn't there, is it. Bob?
