BOULDER 1940 Guy Rudolph Corbosiero Wit is the flower of imagination. , • Guy can usually be found bustling around the school, snapping pictures left and right with his trusty Argus. He is the most candid of candid camera fans and his pictures show that he is no amateur in the art of developing and printing films. His fame as a debater is well known and he is often seen preparing for his next battle of wits and words. He is looking forward to a career in the field of medicine.
