His calm demeanor enabled him to wait patiently for hours for a little nibble. Of course his car enabled him to go to the choicest streams to test his skill at angling. May all your catches in life be satisfactory, Warren. CORNELIUS FRANCIS O'CONNELL The world ir ar you take it. Conservation Club 2, 35 Minstrel 43 Assistant Business Manager for Farmington Student. No one of our class ever saw Connie disturbed or showing a display of temper. We admired his persistency as he maintained a steady pace in all his classes.

Barbara is our idea of a typical Irish colleen with her black hair, blue eyes, and Irish wit. Usually surrounded by a group of friends, not excluding the boys, she made a decided impression upon all.

Conservation Club 4, Baseball 5, Golf 4. . George does not believe in wasting words. There is a special time, and that time is sports, particularly golf and baseball.

EDMOND NIEWINSKI H e majored in alibiologyf' Conservation Club 2, 5, 4, Rifle Club 5. Edmond believes there is more fun when he comes a bit late to school. Gramp's corner is his favorite spot, and we wonder whether he is waiting for some particular female. If you become a television repair man, you should never be without a job, Eddie CATHERINE A.

One of the lirst girls in our class to get her driver's license, Kathy delighted in hurrying down the avenue in a Chevrolet or Pontiac. She never lacked transportation to any of our games. A member of the girls' basketball team, she had the spirit of a true competitor. Don't memorize all the boys' telephone numbers when you become an operator, Kathy. 21
