DEBORAH M. BEARDWOOD As soon as she enters the room, our pet victim of claustrophobia orders the windows opened-wide. Yet the gallant person who finally opens one, is despised for life, and probably freezes to death in tl1e bargain. Besides being famous for her claustrophobia, Debbie is known for her monopoly of the drinking fountains, and, in a more serious vein, for her ac- complishments on the hockey and tennis teams, as well as for her outstanding academic achievements through her years at G.F.S. And, at any one of our famous open houses, her bouncing light brown locks, and corny jokes are always in evidence, adding Zl great deal of life to the party. JOHN B. HAGNER G. A. may have won the football game, but their great loss was when jack Hagner left them and came to G.F.S. In the tenth grade this unfortu- nate individual found himself saddled with the job of presiding over a highly unmanageable class. But it appears he survived this ordeal, as he is once again presiding, this time as class treasurer, and also as captain of the baseball team. The Imsiz' idea is that he plays second base on the baseball team, and sings third base in the choir. Possessed of a longshoreman's appetite, he has a particular fondness for grilled cheese sandwiches and cake. It will be a long time before G.F.S. forgets Froggy and his strategically placed fire drills.

1 PAUL N. SUTRO As our able class president, Paul has led us through a banner year in school and in sports. In addition to heading the class, Paul has always been an outstanding helping hand all through the school. In his senior year, Zoot was a mainstay of the choir, president of the Athletic Council, a bulwark at center on the gridiron as well as lending strong support to the varsity quintet. In school and out he is the strong silent type, quiet and unassuming in everything he does. Nevertheless, he has a ready grin, and will laugh at absolutely anything, even the most minutely funny joke, and this trait never fails to help along our social functions, as well as to liven our sometimes sagging senses of humor. Among other things, Luap is famous for the Wooden Indian play, as well as the dark green station wagon fa second school busj the ever ready hospitality at 7700 Navajo Street, that lackadaisical Sutro gait, or amble Qwhich keeps us in stitches between surprise at how he ever stays upj and the perpetual reply to any question, I'll have to see . In the class of '48, or anywhere, for that matter, you would have to search far to find a person so universally well-liked and respected as our President. We, the class of '48, are proud of him! 8

ANTHONY ALBRECHT Back from a year in Weisbaden, Germany, this youthful globe-trotter rejoined his orig- inal class this February. Tony has been closely associated with the class of '48, even though he left us behind in the sixth grade, when he was the scourge of the school. He was on the road to fame in his tenth grade MARY LOUISE Mary Lou has been with our class since kindergarten, and we missed her during the last term after she took up housekeeping and left us struggling with our books. Her ab- sence was noticed in the art room where she had spent so much of her time, and at our year when he made the varsity football team, and since has been an outstanding athlete. Aside from having two terrors as brothers, Auz is famous for his humor, and his engag- ing personality is a welcome re-addition to our senior class. ALDRICH MURRAY class parties, for she was one of the people who started us off on our long chain of open houses . Mrs. Murray is the first one of us to be married, and we all wish her every happiness. WINDSOR F. COUSINS, Jr. 'l'o look at that half-quizzical, half-com- ical expression of Cous's you would never guess that under that flame colored top lurked one of the best brains in our class. In addition to his intellectual attributes and his work as co-editor of the Pastorian, he has proved him- self in athletics fwho can forget how he snared that all important pass in the Sanford game?j in comic-opera, fremember Lord Tol- loler in Iolanthe ?Q and with his artistic ability which shows up to advantage in those hilarious cartoons of the faculty.
