You say he's a real whiz at Chemistry and for the last four years he has been an all around athlete and he was co-captain of the basketball team. Now, what else? Oh, he was on the honor society and you hear that he is going to take pre-med at Carleton University or the University of Michigan. I see, is he tall? A real friendly guy, easy to get- along with? A real sort of happy-go-lucky guy? Well, I think I've found your man. We call him Dave and everything you've heard is true. However, you forgot one thing, these things you mentioned don't just happen, they have to be worked for. It takes a lot of determination and hard work to excell academically and athletically at the same time and don't think it doesn't. But we know that as Dave pursues his profession of medicine, all of that hard work and determination will again be put to good use.

Paul Brin ar Activities Baseball 1,2,3,4 Basketball 3 Glee Club 3,4 D Club 3,4 Blue and Gold 4 When Paul enrolls next fall at Wheaton College, it is hoped that he will hold strongly in his mind the associations which he has made here at Country Day. For we, the Senior Class, know that it will be a good long time before we ever forget about him. His high standards and high ideals have set a pattern which the rest of us have followed. His outstanding knowledge of the Bible and his interest in the Ministry have added to this class a certain religious tone, which is so necessary in holding a group together, be they young or old. And so, as Paul leaves Country Day, we can look back upon his athletic prowess, his strong contribution to the yearbook, and above all, his determination to get what he feels is right. Everyone wishes Paul good luck, but maybe Paul already has that special kind of luck. Twenty-seven

Tom Garner Activities Football 1,2 Golf 2,3,4 Glee Club 4 Orchestra 1,2,3 D Club 3,4 Twenty-nine A prominent physician, 20 years from now, will probably be the reputation of Tom Garner. Tom's main ambition is to go into the field of medicine. During the summer Tom works as an orderly at Providence Hospital, thus gaining ex- perience and knowledge of the medical profession. ln school, Tom is quite active in the Glee Club, and one can hear his melodious voice between classes and sometimes during classes. Tom's favorite subjects are chemistry and physics. We all forgave Tom when he tried to blow us up in chemistry class last year, we all realized that he was trying to find a solution to a problem- how to get rid of Mr. Doe? Tom is also active on the golf team, he started when he first arrived at Country Day and now he plays a pretty fair game of golf. We all know that Tom will be a success in life.
