LAWRENCE SIDNEY F ALLIS ACTIVITIES Track 3, 4 Debating 2, 3, 4 Prefect Sect. 4 Yellow Jacket 2, 3 Editor 4 Honor Society 4 Extemp. Speaking Award 3 Current Events Award 1, 2, 3, 4 Larry is one of those boys who is so active in the activities of Country Day that it is almost impossible to discuss any phase of school life that he is not actively engaged in. His speaking ability was a determining factor in reaching the state championship eliminations in debating for three years in a row. Last year he proved his ability in individual oratory by winning the extemporaneous speaking award. Larry has an amazing ability to remember facts, figures, and events of any phase of history or current events. He has won the Time Magazine Current Events award for an unprecedented four years. Larry has also distinguished himself in the field of student publications by editing the Yellow Jacket. His efforts have produced some of the most interesting issues the school has seen in years. While achieving marked success in outside activities, Larry has not neglected the school's primary function that of gaining an edu- cation. His steady presence on the Honor Society has resulted in his being accepted at Brown University, where he will carry on with characteristic vigor and determination, a study in the field of Social Science.

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.

RICHARD ARTHUR GOOEL ACTIVITIES Football Manager 3, 4 Basketball Manager 3, 4 Baseball 2, 3, 4 Glee Club 4 D-Club 3, 4 Orchestra 4 Drarnatics 3, 4 Prefect 2, Sec. 3 Yellow Jacket 3, 4 Blue and Gold 3 Editor 4 Honor Society 1, 2 Current Events Award 3, 4 It is the gray dawn of early morning as our editor exhaustedly slumps over his typewriter. Beside him is a stack of corrected copy which has finally been written by his staff. His eyes are wearily closed, but he still can see in his own mind the coming dayethe urging forward to get the boys to do the job. While this picture may be overdrawn, it is no exaggeration to say that without the tireless effort of Dick, this issue of the Blue and Gold would have remained a dream. However, the Blue and Gold is not Dick's only activity. He distinguished himself in many other fields. As Ricky Ricardo, the male lead in the annual play, his efforts were worthy of the highest praise. In athletics Dick served the last two seasons as the manager of the basketball and football teams, while he added his arm to the pitching staff of the baseball aggregation. There are other numerous activities which Dick took part in including the Prefect board, the D-Club, The Glee Club, and the Yellow Jacket. Next fall will find Dick at the University of Michigan, studying business administration and chemistry. With his fine showing at Country Day, he should do very well at the home of the Wolverines.
