P. By far the class of 59's most formidable athlete, Pearson has been an integral part of everything around Chestnut Hill Academy. Some of Ceep's more stunning feats include his rendition of Falstaff in last year's play, Henry IV,' his singing in the Chestnut Hill Academy Cctet for the past two years, and his performances on the varsity baseball team since his fourth form year. He has the rare distinction of having earned letters in four different sports. In the fall he played in the backfield of the varsity football and was a standout on pass defense. During the winter C. P, played on the basketball team. Baseball is his big sport, but he managed to attend enough track meets to win a letter in this sport too. His biggest contribution to the school has been his work as president of the newly-formed Athletic Association, which is com- posed of the captains of all the varsity teams. Under his direction the A.A. has provided transportation for games and has given two dances. 3

Steve is a very loyal member of our class and has added a great deal of spirit to many extracurricular activities. He is in the Glee on the board of both the Senior Dance Committee and Cfzmpur Lafzferzz, and is president of the Property Care Committee. As president of the Property Care Committee, Steve has taken responsibility in stride and has done an excellent Club, Dramatics Club, job directing this organization. Because of a knee injury, Steve has been sidelined in many sports, much against his will. Nevertheless, he has been fortunate enough to enter many swimming competitions during both the summer and winter. Probably one of Steve's greatest assets is his very fine voice. For the past two years he has sung the second tenor part in the Octet. On weekends, Steve is rarely seen around Chestnut Hill. He and C, P. make numerous trips to Abington or the Main Line. where they socialize extensively. 30 Tip

Bud is fortunate to possess a fine intellectg it is not surprising that he distinguished himself in the Merritt Scholarship Contest. He manages to do good work with a minimum of effort expended. When he has a free period, he usually spends it in the Campur Lmztern room or in the physics lab where he can converse while helping others with their work. Bud's participation in school institutions includes the Players, Camjlzzy Lmzferzz, and the Chapel Committee. Although a resident of distant Valley Forge, he faithfully attends all the school's social events. Between these he finds the Main Line extremely attractive. Bud is quite sportsminded: he likes soccer and baseball. But his chief interests are boats and cars. Since his family has had a boat for many years, Bud has become an experienced sailor and enjoys spend- ing as much time as he can on the open seas. His interest in cars, already keen before his sixteenth birthday, only became more acute on the receipt of his drivers license this fall.
