PETER K. KLASSEN Entered .7 951 Glee Club 4 Dramatic! 4 CABBI Intellectually inclined, Pete has for the most part dis- dained athletics, and has excelled in skip ing physical fitness, perhaps so that he can sneak off andiwork on his sailboat. But by no means does Pete stay on a mountain top by himself, for he will pop up at any party, gathering, or discussion. Unobtrusive as he is, a surprising number of practical jokes seem to originate with him, and quiet as he is, his slyly injected comments will frequently disrupt a class. Chalk and erasers fill the air, and the room echoes to the scuffle of a subdued wrestling match. In the midst of the storm sits Pete Klassen, fortified behind his raised desk top, the very picture of serenity, reading a copy of The Allmzfir Moufloly. As one might expect, then, Pete works seriously and maintains good grades, without, it seems, worrying about them, and the breadth of his read- ing enables him to offer an intelligent opinion on anything from Russian novels to Mari.

Gil Kirk-fast halfback, basketball player, lover of Elvis and rock and roll, driver of fast cars, adventurer, and owner of a sparkling personality-is a very versatile and popular fellow. Seldom inactive, Gil has hobbies ranging from playing his guitar to cruising down Alum Creek in a rubber raft. Gil seems to believe that the best defense is a good of- fense. In football his best playing was on offense, while in basketball his height made him a constant scoring threat. A hard worker in sports, Gil showed conspicuous improve- ments during each season. Even in friendly arguments de- signed verbally to tear one another apart Gil was often the first to clobber someone with a wisecrack that rendered the unfortunate victim helpless. 26 GILMAN D.
