Winifred Bayne For four years our gal Sis'' has screamed at the cheer- ing section ''YELL! Her flighty personality has added sparkle to the pep meetings and junior class play. Let's give a short cheer for a short gal. Sharon Bond When it comes to decorating, Sharon's the gal to see. Her original ideas lent a gala atmosphere to Home- coming and many a dance. Decorating didn't occupy all of Sharon's time; she was a southern belle in our junior class play. Marjorie Acciari Having won her I in her junior year, Margie became vice-president of GAA. She was on committees for the junior class play, prom and banquet. In her last year she helped in the library. Neil Ahrens Neil transferred to Gecohi from Batavia as a sophomore. After two years of basketball and three of football, Neil gave up sports for diversified occupations. In his last year he took an active part in the new Cameraman Club. Ronald Anderson Slim, an FFA boy, made the daily mile to St. Charles. Speaking of miles, Slim's running raised the score at many a track meet. Head- ing the committee on food for the banquet, he satisfied our appetites. He took diversified in his senior year, working at Harz' welding. Ronald Anderson 2C's first love seems to be sports. (It certainly isn't girls.) Our flying Swede really came through in both football and bas- ketball as a senior. He was one of our three Vikings who made All- Conference football team. Dick Arbizzani Dick was a busy guy at Gecohi. For two years he was a class offi- cer. As a junior he had a role in the class play. Four years of bas- ketball, football, and track, two years in G Club, prove that Dick concentrated on sports. Charlotte Bankson Chuck's busiest year was her sen- ior, when she was president of GAA, secretary of Student Council, and assistant business manager of The Viking. As a junior, she shot her way to fame in the GAA basket-shooting contest.

 class officers We made it! The unified cry rises from our throats on June 6. We have strug- gled through four years at Gecohi. As freshmen we won that annual magazine drive, and as sophomores sold coffee and cokes to stuff our treasury so we could throw a great Junior-Senior Prom and Junior-Senior Banquet. Our junior class play, LOVE IS TOO MUCH TROUBLE, brought us laurels and a flush of success. As Seniors we gave another play and in the fine tradition of the class of '52 again succeeded. Resting at last on our oars, we look toward the future with anxious eyes.

 Jack Burgwaldt Now here's a boy who is interested in something be- sides sports. Stroll through the art room anytime and you can find Jack working on a report on Renoir or tacking up one of his watercolors. John Butler Jack's a whiz kid from his head to his toe. He made the Honor Society in his junior year, which is quite a feat. During his senior year he kicked the extra points for our Vikings. Lou Ellen Carlson Wherever she went, Louie always took her knitting. During her frosh- soph years she knit through cho- rus; in her junior year her needles clicked away as we struggled over the banquet; as a senior she's brought her knitting to the Vi- king staff meetings. Jeannette Cherry Cookie and her car—how would our junior float, class play, Hal- lowe'en party, the prom and ban- quet ever have materialized with- out them! Donald Colyer We ought to call him Dry Cleaner Don, because he is learning this business in diversified occupations. An easy going, likable fellow, Don will be sorely missed. Bob Davidson As manager of the varsity football team, this guy behind the scenes saw to it that the Vikings made an impressive appearance on the field. He supplied the ragged uniforms used at pep meetings and on the Homecoming floats. Bill Donahue In his sophomore year Wild Bill's pacing led the track team to a victorious season and he became co- captain of the frosh-soph team. Bill's height proved of great value in basketball. He participated in band all four years. Marianne Dunn Spending her junior year away from Gecohi, Marianne returned for her senior year. She has taken all honors for her long tresses. Any day of the week she might be heard saying, Hope I got a letter.
