S they think back to it, the Seniors reioice in remember- ing the day when Pete Gessner entered the narrow portals of the tenth grade room. A spirit of mature cama- raderie and a Gessnerian sense of humor have been felt ever since, for Pete has gently worked his way through three years with us and has won a large number of close L? friends. Academically well above average, Gess has also V, E' k assumed a position of leadership athletically and socially. F l' E ' Football, basketball, and tennis, Sacred Heart and Nightin- V? gale, duties of Alumni Editor and Student Council Treasurer, .ff wh i 'N , I all have tried unsuccessfully to distract him. Beer parties, 1 I Greenwich Village, and the cinema have similarly tailed to 1 e,.X,, 1 WF P- 4' to make him a playboy, but everything has been instructive and entertaining. Pete's only enemies have been made in English class, where his Freudian interpretations of Dos- toyevsky and rash claims that Hamlet suFlered from an Oedipus complex have appeared unfathomable to all. The fall of 1957 will find either Harvard or Amherst enlivened by Gess's presence on the campus as an engineering or psychology major, and vacations in New York next year will see Pete and the Downtown Boys reconvening for an- other blast and a few nostalgic memories.

WILLIAM STANLEY WESTERMAN EDGAR lll VERY school has its leaders, and Terry certainly falls into this category. President of our class for two years, he left that position for the more important one of Student Council President, in which capacity he has supervised a smoothly-functioning organization which concerns itself with all phases of our school life. Besides being Business Man- ager of the Drama Club, he portrayed the title role in The Rainmaker and the romantic lead in You Can't Take It With You. Terry also stars in athletics and can boast of be- ing a three-letter man 1he was forced to purchase a new wordrobe on which to sew all those letters1. On Thursday nights and Saturdays Terry works as a sales- man in the paint department at Gimbel's 1 Lady, you just can't paint your kitchen chartreusel 1, and in what little free time he has left accomplishes his duties as Vice-Presi- dent in Charge of Entertainment for the class's exclusive 1three members1 Greenwich Village Set, An enthusiastic lumberiack, Terry plans a career in forestry. Study hall often finds him hacking at Dudley's ankles with the window pole and yelling 'tTimber! We are confident that Terry's diverse abilities will bring him a great measure of success in the future. 20 ml. 1 Xl ll Q l m! -1 -5 4 Ymgffiwl 'll 'J v s 1 4 9 ., Q.

LEWIS HAYS GOLDMAN O day at Collegiate when Lew is around passes unblest by a heavy dose of his renowned Rabelaisian wit. To the entertainment and desperation of the faculty, to the cheers of the appreciative Seniors, Lew is always ready to oblige his listeners with a wise and earthy quip. His monthly Pencil Sketches and Underground have a loyal group of followers, and his dramatic efforts in Three Men on a Horse and his own adaptation of Winnie the Pooh have made him a favorite with the Lower School. Not a follower of conventions, Uncle Lewis has acquired an extraordinary number of acquaintances among Manhattan's high school elite. A social gathering is never unknown to him, and but a daring few take place without his presence. The Peach- tree is his familiar alternate address, the Penguin Bar a favorite site for evening revelry. Lew has given a mundane prestige to the Senior Class, and he represented it abroad by cutting a dashing figure in Paris and Monte Carlo during his Christmas vacation. Acknowledged by all to be the prototype of the informed man of the world, he has an intellectual curiosity which should assure his success in law, teaching, or whatever he chooses after four years of college. 22 Entered 4th Grade Student Council l121, Dutchman lSenior Class Editor 121 French Club HO, 11, 121, Science Club I121, History u 111, 121, Drama Club 110, 11, Business Manager 111 e Club 110, 11, 12, Madrigal Group 11, 12, Quartet Journal 19, 10, 11, 121, Tennis l1O, 11, 121, Student Facu W Committee HO, 111, Evaluating Committee 1111, Class Secre tary 111, 121, Color Group Blue.
