Rick's scholastic achievement needs no advertisement, it speaks for itself and is the consequence of intelligent and relentless study. Ricky is a logical, confident non-conformist. He seldom makes mistakes but is amenable to suggestions and correction. Although Rick has a serious nature and devotes much time to study, he has a good sense of humor. His lazy smile through half-closed eyes is the trademark of his humor, dry but sometimes hilarious. Two subjects which never fail to provoke a laugh are his Green Beast, a decrepit but faithful '48 Dodge, and Scandi- navian women, whom Rick studied closely during a summer in Sweden. Intensely loyal to his school and his friends, Rick is always willing to serve both. His interests range from music to athletics and dramatics. I-Ie is active and creative in both music and drama. In sports his determination is his major asset. He was co-captain of the varsity football squad. I7

Besides a blithe disposition Pete shows an assiduousness proven by his mastery of English, which he had studied but briefly at Baden. Exhibiting a willingness to learn, Pete tackles his courses, some of which are quite alien to him, and works industriously. Pete's entrance into class discussion shows his mental keenness. Eager to learn American customs, he uses this insight to discover them. He has divers extracurricular interests.
