UGS is the anarchist of the Senior Class when it comes to education. Mathematics is repugnant, chemistry is droll but useless, history is nice, though a bit on the boring side. French-only a native can hope to speak it fiuently. English is important, but those books have too many theses. They should be read for their impact and beauty, not dis- sected with scalpel and forceps. But Peter's acting and writing have more than occupied the time that most of his classmates spend on school work. Evening courses at Stella Adler's, summer stock, and a Shakespeare Festival in 1956, as well as an array of plays and stories, bear witness. The creation, interpretation, and appreciation of emotion, not rational scholarship, have been Bugs' love. Four years of college seems to lead in a direction opposite to his interests and will be forgone in favor of a serious stab at acting. He leaves Collegiate with many memories of himself and his spontaneous wit, and he regrets that the hair of certain teachers has grown a shade whiter through his presence. His classmates hope to see him on Broadway in the future. Who knows? He may be favorably reviewed in As We See It some day. PETER BOGDANOVICH 15

MlCHAEL PETERS BLANC Entered llth Grade History Club il2i, Drama Club lil, l2l Gle Club fill Color Group Orange. VERY member of this year's Senior Class has some dis- tinctive feature, and Mike's is utter silence. ln a class period punctuated with raucous outbursts and cynical obser- vations, Mike's quiescence is a cause of wonderment and a pleasant relief. His ability to sit quietly and listen atten- tively to the teacher with apparent lethargy has won him the affectionate nickname of Vitamin Pill. But Mike's seeming lack of vigor is not to be believed, for in class meet- ings he voices his opinions emphatically, proving to one and all that those corpuscles are red! Mike spends a large part of his school day in extracurricular activities. Besides lend- ing his talents to the History Club, he opens his mouth wide for the Glee Club and the Drama Club. A mainstay of the Collegiate stage, Mike will be remembered for his hilarious portrayals of Eeyore the Donkey in Winnie the Pooh and Donald in You Can't Take It With You. Although we feel that Mike would find great success as a salesman of spring fever tonic, we wish him the best of luck in whatever career he chooses. I4 VF CJ

PAUL FREDERICK BUBENDEY HE name of Paul Bubendey will go down in '57 annals as the biggest dealer in many a year. A sunny Saturday afternoon will find Paul, a devotee of the Sport of Kings, in front of the two dollar window at Aqueduct. He has endeared himself to the more sporting members of our class A A with his frequent and accurate tips on the nags. A skillful - ', 'iff' pool player and a card sharp with remarkable luck, Paul 'K' -q'yg5':5lc-LL 2 ix. has spent many evenings with us until the wee hours of the ., morning at the class's renowned Friday night card sessions. Paul has his erudite side, however, with classical music be- ing his great love. We have often seen him emerge from the Record Hunter with a newly-purchased stack of Wag- nerian discs. His musical interests are visible at school, too, where as President of the Glee Club his fine tenor voice has added much to the concerts. A respected member of the Student Council and Secretary of the Student Court, he has done a fine iob in keeping the lower classes on their toes. We all look forward to the day when, hard-pressed for a pair of ducats to the Met opening, we will encounter Paul scalping tickets outside the Opera House. in l Y 16
