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

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

ICHARD CERRUTI is the funniest person in the Senior Class. No day goes by without our sampling some of his hilarious humor, An expert at the delicate art of teacher-baiting, Dick is constantly catching the faculty oft guard. Although not actually a member of the faculty, Dick supervises the scheduling of tesiss and the organization of the curriculum. As Head of the History Department, he instructs Mr. Barker in the teaching of the courses and also UE, M it writes critical letters to the authors of the texts. Mr. Adams 3' , 0 is greatly indebted to Dick, who keeps order in English gf. Z. lg, class and corrects him whenever necessary. Messrs. Chiao 3 .' H- and Newsom have expressed their gratitude to Mr. Cerruti, F4 Q. k 1 whose tutoring swept them into Cum Laude in a blaze of R, Cerrutean glory. ' - Dick's prowess on the gridiron is known throughout the league. His six feet and four inches towering over the opposing center has caused members of other teams to com- ment apprehensively, Whadda they got, college guys? He has also been a member of the Drama Club stage crew for two years, and in the last production held the office of Keeper of the Nightingales. We wish Dick the best of luck as he leaves for New England and college. RICHARD JOSEPH CERRUTI 4 1 .
