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. Football 3, 4, Baseball 3, 4, Conservation Club 3, Treasurer 4, President of Dramatic Club 2, Class Vice President 2, 3, 4, Class Play 3, 4, Student Coun- cil 4, Oratorical Contest 3, National Athletic Honor Society 3, 4, Rifle Club 4, Assistant Editor of the Farmington Student. 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

Minstrel 2, 3, 4, Audio-visual Club 2, Conservation Club 2, 3, 4, Motor Safety Club 4, Football 3. Good-natured Al will never be forgotten by the class of 1956. 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

Here is another of our senior boys who showed a preference for mathe- matics and science. Gerry never missed any of our dances although he did admit that dancing was not the main attraction Having had a taste of the Navy, he would like to continue in the serv' e and put his mathematics Smooth sailing, 2'G ff' . it C' 1 . .

With his little red pick-up truck, Bob was always running errands for the seniors, gathering food for the suppers or buying material to trim the cafeteria. He enjoyed his week with the Navy and it made him all the more determined to advance through the various steps of seamanship. Be careful where you cast your anchors, Bob. FRANK A. VERHAGEN Vacation ir coming. Where shall we go? Audio Visual Club 2, Conservation Club 2, 3, 4, Auto Safety Club 4, Foreign Language Club 3. If a prize were given for freckles, Frank would be our candidate. Easy going by nature, he made friends easily at Farmington High. We heard him frequently engaging in discussions on laws, cars, or classes. Pratt and Whitney always Welcomes mechanics, Frank. RICHARD LEON THOMPSON There are three day! in the week on which I do not worry, yerterday, today, and Tomorrow. Rifle Club 2, Vice President 3, President 4, Rifle Team 2, 3, 4, Conser- vation Club 2, 5, 4, National Honor Society 3, President 4, Basketball Mana- ger 5, 4, Athletic Association 2, 3, Vice President 4, Assistant Business Mana- ger for the Farmington Student. Richard's keen mind, his good judgment, and his friendly manner brought him to the fore early in his sophomore year. It is no wonder that he was selected as manager of the Magazine Drive. We think that he would make a wonderful salesman because of his ability to influence people to buy. Innumerable were the ads that he secured for our class book. We hope that you secure your college education, a successful position, a wife and family, and two Chevrolets Richie You deserve them.
