DONALD POOL are English Eagerness to broaden his scope of knowledge, together with a desire for self-improvement, has helped Donald to become a superior Eng- lish student. Donald's well-organized research papers and his clever short essays give evidence of his writing ability. The demand for his appearance as a panel discussion member and as a master of cere- monies offers proof of his excellence as a speaker. In all of his ac- tivities, whether in English class or elsewhere, Donald maintains his indi id al' ' v u ism and at the same time is an unselfish contributor to his group. K It DOROTHY BELL Girl's Physical Education Dorothy has become an outstanding student in physical edu- cation because of her co-operation and respect for her te am- mates, her ability as an all-round athlete, her optimistic att1 tude , and her constant perseverance for improving her skills. JOHNNY NICOL Social Science Social Science is difficult f th or e ordinary student because he fails to get the overall picture of history from start to the present, b t lm ' u jo ny Nicol has that rare capacity to see how the past relates to present events. His understanding and his co t 'b ' n ri utions of current events as they relate to the past are what makes him the choice of the Social Science department as the outstanding student. johnny also found research a challenge to his curiosity and th . us he proved himself above average in this field. Although johnny enters into the class discussion readily, his long suit is in reading both in and out of class. Thus he deserves to re- ceive the highest award in this department. The Physical Education Department is proud to be t s ow upon Dorothy the title of Who's Who in Physical Education. 515 'F
