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.

.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 . .

Pam Pammy 34 Foster Street Littleton, Mass. Had I been present at the creation, I could have given some useful hints for the better ordering of the universe. Qamsfa gjzouffy -Alfonso X Pam joined us in the 7th grade and immediately distinguished herself by reading more books than everyone else in the Lower School put together. Since then she has gone on to greater glories. Although she has been known to tear her hair over seating charts, her efficiency as head of Chorus is unsurpassed and the Choir Altos would be lost without her. Music is not her only interest, however, her skill in other fields is not quite so dependable and you can often hear screams of rage coming from the tennis courts as Pammy slams another into the river. For a supposedly naive schoolgirl who is as yet unhardened by the cruel world she has some attitudes which most people find shockingly materialistic, but she defends them violently. Pam has a pretty violent opinion about everything which can usually be summed up with a loud Honestly! Noon time finds her in the jabberwock bartering the contents of her lunch box. She is notorious for sharp deals and her victims are not limited to day girls. Whenever the dining room is serving ice cream, you can bet some unsuspecting boarder will have been jilted out of her meal. But every so often she gives an enormous class party which more than repays everyone for swindled sandwichs and shows that Pammy does like to kick up her heels once in a while.
