AGNES ARMINA DEROIAN Her quiet nature seemed to be tuned to each season' s harmony. Aggie is that quiet girl with the jet black hair. Her olive complexion contrasts beautifully with her ebony halo. Since child- hood she has sung with the Christ Church choir. Her zeal for sports may be readily deduced by her presence at all school games. During her senior year she worked part-time for Mr. Butler and Mr. Dufour. She plans to become a secretary. HARDY DERON DEROIAN Speech is good, but silence is golden. Hardy is interested in things military and particularly in that phase of it that deals with aviation. Not only does he fly but he has studied the mechanics connected with planes. He also likes photography, belongs to the Camera Club, and keeps busy taking pictures. He manages to find time to get a true grasp of his school subjects and keep up on world affairs.

Phyl, the other half of the Desmond twins, has many of the characteristics, likes, and dislikes which are noted in Bobby. Only her closest friends can distinguish Phyl from her twin. However there are differences which can be noted by those of us who have come to know her. After graduation Phyl would like to be a dental hygienist.
