We shall remember him rushing around on errands, talking with Mr. Leach about the Navy, kidding senior girls, and finally winning the audiences with his typical singing of cowboy songs. Truly, Al, your life should be very full if you continue to have as many interests as you had at Farmington High. rl of EUGENE FRANK SCIBEK Let your moderation be known among all men. Conservation Club 3, 4, Rifle Club 4. Eugene came to our class in junior year and impressed us as a boy who preferred a quiet atmosphere to that of noisy conversation. An after-school fob claimed much of his time. We hope that you become a successful business manager, Gene. .' 5 -1. 24

DONALD A. SHULENBURG Why rhould life all homework he! Conservation Club 4, Auto Safety Club 4. We wondered why Donald transferred from Bristol High to Farmington in senior year. A certain junior gave us the answer in early September. join- ing the Conservation Club, he enjoyed the activities, especially in the line of cooking. We think that you would make a good taxi driver, Don. GERALDINE G. SMITH A merry heart that laughr at care. Conservation Club 3, 4, Foreign Language Club 3, Class Secretary 3, 4, Minstrel 3, 4, Athletic Association 2, 3, 4. We wanted a cheerful girl as class secretary and accordingly gave the position to Gerry for two years. Her talent for causing gay conversation and meaningful smiles was probably responsible for the lease that she and another senior took upon the upper corridor. We can just picture you, Gerry, sit- ting down to take dictation from your employer. Make sure that he keeps his mind on his work. , Q xg Te xos 65-Q G50 32050 C' CAROLYN MARIE SPIRITO at -S She that it gentle doe: gentle deeds. Minstrel 2, 3, 4, Spanish Club 2, 3, 4, Cheerleader 2, Co-Chairman of the Senior Supper, Junior Prom Committee, Student Council 3, Junior Play Prompter, Assistant Editor of the Farmington Student. Carolyn possesses many attractive qualities. Among them we might mention neatness, friendliness, and efliciency. We found her ever ready to help the other fellow in any possible manner. With your quiet and gentle manner, you should be a favorite with all patients who will benefit by your nursing, Carolyn. RICHARD WOLFE STEIN Earnertnerr and rincerity of purpose.

We would find it difficult to find anyone who has displayed more school spirit than Richard. Consider his participation in the athletic contests, his marvelous accordion solos in the minstrels, and his high standing in the classes and you will readily see why we consider him outstanding. The crowd will miss the orchestra rehearsals and social gatherings at your home next year, Dick. We believe that you cannot evade success. 25
