 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.

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.

Kenneth Fairbank Whenever there was work to be done on the prom, on a float, or on any other occasion, Mono was there to lend a hand. He divided his time among track, football, and basketball. This participation in sports made him a member of G Club for two ,vears. Geoffrey) wrnald Practically any night of tbeyvA»eV Geoff could be found filing books At the pub i4Tlbrary. His activities in sports gave hifh V «odd background for announcing at our tball name}. Lawrence Forni Larry has probably been the only football lineman to play in the band consistently. Every basketball team needs a manager, and Larry filled the bill for four years. Sally Gains What would school have been with- out Sal? Her never-failing ambition and ideas as a cheerleader added spirit to pep meetings and games. As a senior she was elected Home- coming Queen and has been co- editor of The Viking. Claude Gianetto Though sawed-off, Claude made All-Conference football team, was elected co-captain, and played bas- ketball. He was class president his sophomore year, and president of Spanish Club and vice-president of G Club his senior year. Barbara Grow Barb has been a real fireball around Gecohi. In addition to her fine record at school, she traveled to the Town Club in Chicago to swim. As a junior she was editor of Gecohi Life. George Hawkinson George—our own undisputed peer ! As an athlete, he was a faithful and reliable player and a member of G Club for three years. Yorie was always ready with a wisecrack or a friendly word. Bob Hetherington Not always the cigar store Indian, Hezz's wimmin troubles added much life to our years at Gecohi. Three years of football, one of basketball, and three of track made him a member of G Club his senior year.
