We may talk about wanting to 'do something' but Joan actually goes over and helps in the kindergarten in her spare afternoons and study periods. There's not a girl in the class who hasn't secretly turned green with envy at the sight of that beautiful black hair. ll-lonestly, don't you ever have to put it up, Joanie7l Her Cadillac, too, is the pride of G.F.S. when it sits in the schoolyard among the class's less distinctive cars. Joan may seem demure to us in school. but our outside scouts tell us a different story. Seen the Sunday Inquirer lately?

TASSMAN lt' you see someone in a good-looking sports coat dashing around with his camera, or off in a roar ot laughter, it's no doubt Tassy. Bill matches these social assets with a good scholastic record and a varsity game ot soccer at right wing. As one'of the classes' hard workers, Bill can still manage to forget Physics and the money raising problems ot a relief campaign manager for some good weekends with the gang--even daring enough to drive his slowly-dying Olds in an extenuated trip to Wyncote. With an ever- ready smile and the stuft that makes for success. all that is keeping Toss from college is the need of an auto that can make the forty-five miles to Princeton. Ambition: eye doctor Destiny: Dr. l. O. Famous for: big feet Pet Peovo: late ap- pointments Postscript: dressed to kill

MARY WHITE Maybe you ve seen her in a corner at recess, playing Mister Anthony to a love-sick senior boy. ll-ler advice must be good for everybody seems happy.l Or, maybe you've passed the art room and seen her begging Mr. Goodall to please give me a period to tinish the Monthly Bulletin. Anyhow, she has turned out top-notch sketches for the past three years. Because she lives so close to school, Whitie has to play hostess more often than most, and she says she loves having us. We'd like to think it's really true: at least it gives you a picture ot her gen- erous hospitality. Any senior with a diploma from tne White Jitterbugging School will swear to her excellence on the dance floor, but we hope he breaks the habit of pointing out a Packard s every time she sees one.

THALHEIMER G F S in ninth grade When Jack arrived at . . . with his now famous array ot neckties we guessed he was quite the fireball and it didn't take him long to get into action. This year in such iobs as football manager. business manager of the yearbook, and Co-Chairman ot the Lost and Found Jack has really shown his peppy spirit and capacity for hard work. To these talents Jack can add a fanaticism for Jazz lprevalent in Class of '47l, and a record as quite the social success. We like Jack whether he's dashing around ' class proiect. to or talking up a new d in an ou He's the type of fellow that gets things one and is a valuable part ot the class.
