PAUL GRAN GER BROWN ELL I ACTIVITIES Football 3, 4 Basketball 3 Baseball 3 Golf 4 Glee Club 4 D-Club 3, 4 Blue and Gold 4 Petey Boy , as he is known amongst us seniors, joined our brotherhood in the sixth grade. Since then Pete has excelled in living it up in the classroom . You can always hear Pete say, Man is this thing undemocratic? , or Boy did I ever get rooked? . Seriously, however, Pete has done quite well in the classroom and equally well on the athletic field. Pete played Varsity football for the past two seasons and proved himself as an invaluable member of the team. He also contributed largely to the efforts of the basketball and baseball teams, winning letters in both sports. One of Pete's favorite hobbies, about which we hear for twelve months of the year, is sailing, and from all indi- cations he is a very adept sailor. He furthers his cause by participating in the Coast Guard Reserve. Pete plans to make his next stop Denison University, where he expects to study pre-medicine. With Pete's very pleasing way and his wholehearted cooperation with his classmates he should be very successful in later years. All right who hocked my glasses Possible? -, 15 -

KENNETH RYAN BOWDEN ACTIVITIES Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4 Class Vice-Pres. 4 Every week-day morning, near Birmingham, approximately seven miles away from our hallowed halls, an immacu' lately groomed young man carefully carries a note book and a collection of fantastically clean school books out to an equally clean car. He takes a last look at his hair in the rear view mirror, whips out his comb to return a few errant spears into place, and heads for Country Day. No more than seven minutes later this same lad will be in the D.C.D.S. parking lot, and, after again consulting the mirror for any un-groomed locks, heads towards the doors of the fount of knowledge. Of course, the boy is Ken Bowden. Ken's reputation in the fields of dress, orderliness, and driving are well known throughout the school, but he has distinguished himself in other ways. After recovering from a severe attack of polio two summers ago, he has gone on to render yeoman service on the pitching mound for the Country Day nine . His popularity with his classmates is evidenced by his position as Vice-President of the Senior Class. Ken plans to enter General Motors' Technical School in the Fall, and with his qualities of neatness and organization, we know he will go far.

RICHARD GEORGE DI CKMAN ACTIVITIES Track 3 Cranbrook High School 1 Highland Park High 2 Ferndale High School 2 Dick could easily be called the Happy Wanderer , for he is by far the most traveled member of our class. Travel in the sense of schools for Dick attended Highland Park, Cranbrook, and Ferndale High school before finally coming to a stop at Country Day. Since becoming a member of our class in the eleventh grade, Dick has been a real sparkplug in the vivacious spirt of the senior class. Dick always has a story to tell whether it be about his narrow brushes with death or about mugsy or just a plain old bull story. He is always in a gay mood and there is seldom a dull moment when he decides that things should be livened up a little. Dick could not be called the most ardent student as he figures that studying is something in the way. Dick had a very promising career as a Varsity football, basketball and track candidate: however a very bad tricked knee curtailed any activity and forced him to sit on the sidelines. Western Michigan gets the call as the establishment of higher learning for Dick. He hopes to study Business Administration, and we all feel that with his terrific personality and fun-loving nature he should be able to find any situation easy to conquer.
