Although much of his time was absorbed by ou ,' e activities, he did his share by faithfully attending most school functions. As a member of the Dramatic Club, John played the distinguished Ambassador in the United Na- tions Assembly program. He also participated in boys' inter- class and the F.B.L.A. Always working, John could be found delivering papers at an early hour, after school he busied him- self making milkshakes and sundaes behind the soda fountain at Broadway Arms. An avid follower of current events, John will discuss politics at the drop of a hat and can support his views by information gleaned from his daily reading of the news.

PATSY LAWRENCE IOZZO I-li: bark ir worse than bi: bite Patsy, always bursting forth with a boisterous greeting or a mocking laugh, was the creator of many a homeroom up- roar. Unrestrained and enthusiastic, his comments decidedly enlivened our class meetings. His good nature, however, bowed to fighting determination on the athletic fields, where he starred. A member of the football team for two years, Pat proved himself to be a half-back of considerable merit. In shortstop position he sparked the baseball nine to many victories. His favorite sport, however, was basketball. In his four years on the basketball team, he made a name for him- self with his tireless defensive work, and proved himself to be an all around athlete. Although excitable, Patsy's joking manner has combined with his outspoken but cheerful nature to win the friendship of his fellow students. His ambition is to someday own a bus company. RUTH SHEVLIN JONES ' In qutetnen and confidence shall be your strength Ruthie appears to be quiet but her bursts of enthusiasm reveal her true personality. Her many and varied interests make her an absorbing convetsationalist. After her trips to the Farm she returns with an endless supply of interesting tales which she tells with a flood of words. One of the most helpful and cooperative members of the class, Ruth's willing attitude has been a distinct asset to the many activities in which she has participated. Among these are: Dramatic Club, Chorus, Girls' Sports, Career Club, Twirlers, and Activities Council. She held the office of president of the Ushers Club and secretary of the Honor Society. With patience and per- sistence, Rwth accomplished a great deal and was 'invaluable to the Periauger as Make-up Editor. The qualities which have made her well-liked in Dobbs Ferry will make her a success in college. Page twenty-two -....4,T. .. -,.-.... ... ....-. L Me.-. ... M , ....-,. 2- - -
