The activity which Jay has received little credit for, but has done much for, has been dramatics. For the past three years he has been responsible for painting the sets and working on the sound effects. However, Jay excels in athletics as shown by his winning eight varsity letters. In basketball Jay has stood out, particularly when he played in the tournaments. In his Junior year he was awarded the Coaches Award for the most valuable basketball player on the team. As catcher on the baseball team he has done an admirable job. He also was a standout on the line for the football team. Much credit must be given to Jay for his outstanding work on the yearbook, for he has done a tremendous amount of work and has put forth the utmost cooperation. Whether Jay goes to Michigan State or Wayne to study hotel management, we feel that he will succeed in his chosen field, and we wish him all the luck in the world.

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.

NORMAN LAWRENCE LIPPITT ACTIVITIES Football 3 Captain 4 Basketball 3, 4 Baseball 3, 4 Track 3, 4 Glee Club 4 D-Club 3, 4 Norm is also one of the earliest members of the present senior class, having started in the second grade. From that time forward to the present, Norm was to establish himself as one of the most versatile athletes in many a year. As a varsity football member for three years, during one of which he served as Captain, Norm displayed an unequaled amount of skill. Playing halfback, he continually ripped holes in the opposing lines. Baseball was another of Norm's accomplishments. During his senior year, he had the distinction of breaking No-hit efforts by both Smith and Fraser pitchers. However, one of the most spectacular events of his athletic career, was his participation in the 1954 League track meet. Without practice, Norm won the 220 yard run, took a second in the 100 yard dash and the shot put, a fourth in the broad jump, and ran a brilliant anchor leg of the 880 yard relay and won that event. Norm has a terrific sense of humor and there are very few dull moments when he is around. Norm plans to take Business Adminis- tration, and we all wish him the best of luck and hope that he can further his athletic abilities. i 3 - j f ,E N , . x 5 1 5 xx Ak - e Muscles A'The pause that CHicD refreshes YY, .-.
