TOM JENKS Possessed of a talented editorial mind, Tom has an ardent and unflagging desire to improve his school not only through a penetrating observation of its faults but also through hard work and dedication to a wide range of activities. Fighting an over- emphasis' in athletics he has proven himself that one need not be a sports hero to be noticed. c'Tomasito's principles are high, and he does not mind if the rest of us are out of step with him, as long as he can lead the parade. iff MEN ANDY MARION Galloping in from the right, the White Knightv has kept up a steady attack on school policies and other injustices. The exuberance of his Crusades has beaten down monitorial resist- ance, and brought such dramatic results as more phones on dorm and fewer magazines in the schoolrooms. When not mending broken bones or shattered lances, Swampy has found time for the Student Investment Club, of which he is President and sole member. Basically cheerful, despite his disapproval of the way the world is run, Andy may be the new messiah the AUHZO boys are waiting for. 31 GREGG JONES An exceptional individual with an unexceptional name, Gregg is a well-adjusted Boy Scout-from trustworthy to reverent. To such routine tasks as waiting and managing he has brought the extra zeal that distinguishes the virtuoso from the time-server. c'Sam Brownf' as he is called by those wishing to distinguish l1im from the other Jones boys, is as friendly and outgoing as he is conscientious and responsible. His contributions to the school have been many, and he leaves few opportunities unexplored.

BUZ JACKSON With a mind like a steel trap for the trivia of life, and like a sieve for the trivia of Physics, Buz bestrides his Pendleton world like an electronic colossus, although on somewhat fragile legs. Meeting the recurring crises of his existence with a char- acteristic C,est la vie, Buz reacts with equal nonchalance to academic misfortunes and demerits for illegal appliances. Dra- matic productions will miss his trenchcoat, his skilled hands, and his untiring driveg in the most literal sense, Buz was the one who made the scene. ED INMAN Ed, a man not afraid to take a gamble, can easily be recognized by his old Samis hat, con- struction boots, and illegal Levi's, covered by his camelis-hair overcoat. Although he presents bitter front, those who know him well know that between his sideburns is a feeling individ- ual. When not brushing up on his student hand- book and his attitude, Neddy has managed many successful safaris to Washington, where he has bagged several splendid specimens of the local fauna. Ed is a real person and a cool individual. ARTHUR JACKSON 'Tll fix his little red wagon! cries our irate senor, and proceeds to do so. This can mean anything from raising a lump on a hapless soccer opponent to drowning a neighbor's soul soundn with his own preferred classics. A certified electronics wizard and math shark Artie is happiest with a soldering iron in one hand and a log book in the other, putting together a computer to keep track of his Tops ord ers. He would rather listen than talk, but when he says anytlung it is a mathematical certainty to be worth hearing.

WALKER MOORE And anyone that disagrees with me is narrowmindedln exclaims Walker, stressing some such point as the status of St. Mary's in relation to school bounds, or the lack of a swimming pool. Though probably suffering the con- sequences of his latest toad move, George is always ready to engage in a lively conversation with the nearest person or telephone. Walkie combines a basically easy-going nature, the explosiveness of nitroglycerin, a surface cynicism, and a risque sense of humor to produce a per- sonality all his own. KEN NICHOLSON A real worker in any field he attempts, Nick has a pas- sion for speed, either in getting around the track or through a passage of Latin. Nothing but the best will do, although he is not always sure what to do after he gets it. Seemingly well informed about everything, and always willing to share his information, Zorba has shown the school what determined pessimism can achieve. He scoffs at the possibility of his ever being Number One, but no one tries harder. RANDY MORRIS Though much disheveled, Randy-pooh enlivens any gathering with his belated but sparkling arrival. His wit and affability have led to many successes in his blooming social lifeg and Randi's predilection for arduous physical work, coupled with his leadership qualities, has led to repeated con- quests on the athletic fields. Randy has been remarkably able to combine the seemingly incongruous traits of dedication and lovability in his own individual formula for success. , 32
