.QDCLLLZQ fag ton, Space Hillside Road Greenwich, Conn. Never elated while one man's oppress'dg Never dejected while another's bless'd. Pace Paceiki - Pope Oh, what am I going to do? I've lost my glasses. Pace runs in just a little late to House Committee Meeting, followed by a trail of papers which indicates not a paper- chase but merely a lack of organization. Then, after the meeting, 'iOh, what am I going to do? I can't find anythingli' Well, that's Pace, disorganized but competent Head of House Committee. However, her energy has other outlets. When she is not playing dic- tator to the boarders, she loses plates as business manager of the Chameleon, disrupts Student Council meetings, and very occasionally cleans the chapel. But not to be forgotten is her need for stuffing, as on French bread, chocolate donuts and COKE. This all- American amazon regularly warms the varsity benches each year, and occasionally, when the score is very much in our favor, plays. If, in his nightly rounds, the little man should see a candle flickering just before daybreak, he must know that it's only Pace beginning her term paper due that morning. flncidentally, the same paper will be returned with a B+, just one of her secretslj Maybe she uses the same methods on the faculty as she does on the boardersg she has taken to hypnotizing her helpless subjects. Maybe that's why there have been so many excuses from study hall to go to bed and sleeeeeep. We do hope Paula will manage to combine concentration and organization to the point of sending in her five college applications before the deadline. However, she probably will, and will eventually run out of C. A. and into college with papers and colors flying with her favorite cry of What am I going to do, I've lost . .

Donata 01530 Dona! Nodata Monte Savello, 30 Rome, Italy In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. - Saizzt-Exupery Yodele-i-ti . guess what, I'n1 in the best mood. Oh well, I didn't really have any homework- I suppose when you're taking six subjects as Donata does it's absolutely necessary to spend the whole two hours of study hall writing letters. This of course leaves her plenty of time to practice the piano, so that the poor girl nearly died of bore- dom the day she smashed her finger in the door UQ and couldn't have her lesson. Donata with reckless enthusiasm has gone all out for sports. Unfortunately numerous sports excuses have prevented her from pursuing her most favorite interest. However, skiing comes first, and it is on the ski slope that Donata excels in more ways than one. Who hasn't heard of those enticing winters at Kitzbtihel? Donata can easily be put under hypnosis .... you are getting sleeeepier and sleeeeeeeepier . . . you are finding that food is very repulsive. French bread, butter and cheese, coffee-cake, and cokes are no longer predominant in your mind. You will never stuff again. Unfortunately, hypnosis has not had much of an affect on Donat . . . Although Donata spends many a night in the closet with a flashlight, she has not yet lost her talent for laughingg indeed, the slightest indication of a joke will leave your ears ringing. Too bad that Donata, coming from Italy, knows English better than most of usg she also has been the love of every language department as she speaks perfect Italian, English, and French, and knows Latin, Greek, and German. Although two years in America have proved a good experience, Donata will be leaving us next year to liven up the Sorbonne. Byeeeeeeeee . . .

Bafincfa fpfaaaanfs Binnie Groton School Groton, Mass. But you were something more than young and sweet And fair, - and the long year remembers you. - Edna St.Vifzce1zl Millay Binnie came in the seventh grade as one of the numerous B8cM commuters, and joined the rest of us in the lowly lower school. Today she still upholds the honor of the Groton contingent although its numbers have diminished considerably. Our tall dark one possesses the longest pair of legs in the class, which have proved disastrous to many a visiting varsity team. She excels at hockey, basketball and lacrosse. But her talents are certainly not limited to athleticsg she has been a loyal supporter of octet and choir and was president in Class V. Her dimples are a constant source of envy and she-is one of those lucky people who never has to worry about POUNDS. fMost of us still haven't learned how she manages to wear a sack and not have it look like one.j Belonging to two different campuses could present a problem, but Binnie has managed to divide her affections quite fairly, although we suspect she's not always as impartial as she should be. Bin is one of the quieter members of the class, and she has contributed an element of dependable stability during her years at C. A.
