For some time we have noticed that, at the beginning of each school year, Rodney's speech is sprinkled with many expressions similar to those of a local newscaster who broadcasts the games of the Columbus jets. This is merely a manifestation of Rodney's great love for popular sports. Rod is always up to date on the statistics of major league sports, especially those of his beloved d . . . Yankees. But Rod is not content to be a spectator of sports. Each year he has gone out for both the basketball and baseball teams with much enthusiasm.

Because of knawing recess hunger pains he usually did an admirable job of both. Ben, a happy and boisterous fellow, was usually to be found in the middle of a group of students entertaining them with one of his numerous jokes.

In our Junior year Mark joined the class. It is really re- grettable that he did not join our ranks earlier, for he is the type of individual who benefits any class or group. He goes about all that he does with a sincerity that every- one admires. Scholastically Mark has maintained honor grades since his entrance. His industry, clarity of thought, and speaking ability were shown by the fact that he reached the city finals in the I Speak for Democracy contest. Despite the fact that Mac lives in Newark, he has participated in many school and social activities. He prac- ticed diligently in basketball and as a result gained a posi- tion on the team. Mark has the kind of personality that is an asset to any party. 20 MARK D.
