GARY GBSON lf somebody were to ask, How does it work? , the person to answer before the question stopped vibrat- ing would be Gary. If it moves, Gary usually knows why. This is because Gary, you would say, is inter- ested in motors, in fact, this seems to be his main hobby and interest. His car is a product of this interest-it is a 1953 modified, Kaiser, a real sharp', conveyance. Among other of Gary's likes are both swimming and golf, and these reflect Gary's what you would call, out-door-ness, for Gary likes anything that requires skill and this is what you need to play both golf and swim, and also is one of the basic requirements for taking a part a car. Among the other of Gary's characteristics is his level- headedness or rather his ability not to be swayed by an emotional argument or be carried away by some radical ideas. This gives a general picture of Gary's personality, which could best be described with the word moderation. This is because Gary never does anything too much, as exemplified by his di- versified activities, but hews a line straight down the middle.

GY MCCARROLL Our class is mainly a sports', class, that is the majority of the class play, or participate in one or more of the leading sports and some in all three major sports. Dave McCarroll is one of the few who has won, or rather has earned, a letter in all three of the major sports. He is captain of the basketball team, a pitcher on the baseball team, and a driving halfback on Country Day's fighting elevenf' Dave is a competitor not only in sports but in anything he does, academic or extra cur- ricular. Dave not only likes sports but he had the necessary elbow grease to get on in his subjects in such a way that he has won the respect of all his friends, which are many. Dave came to Country Day in the eleventh grade and has added his Texas drawl and opinion to our class discussions on any- thing and everything. Dave plans to be an architect and he will, we feel, be a welcome addition to Albion, where he plans to go. Twenty three

SMITH Athletic, witty, and lastly epigrammatistic, all describe Dave Smith. He is one of, if not the, most popular guy in the senior class, and consequently has been chosen class president for the past two years. Smitty's laughter can be heard resounding through the hallowed halls of Country Day in uni- son with all who are around him at any given time, class or no class. But in a larger sense he is a competitor, as seen by his achievements in sports and his participation in various school activities. Dave has played in every major sport, almost every season and consequently received the annual Sports Trophy in his Junior year. In his Senior year he was chosen one of the football co-captains. Even so his golden bass can be heard in harmony in the Glee Club during its aftemoon and evening re- hearsals. Dave is also sports editor for the Blue and Gold and this experience will help him in his chosen field of journalism. The college that Dave chooses will receive a member whom they will be proud and pleased to have in their student body. Twenty-five
