She invariably pulls through with an unexpected adjoinder, keeping a straight face, or a bai'Hed air, while we lapse into hysterics. She has a slight temper, but only seems to use it on weekends. Neverthe- less her Saturday nights are always occupied. PAUL A. Commuting from Burholme has failed to subdue this man of many talents. Whenever l1e is able to tear himself away from the joys of home life, he can usually be found ram- bling after birds in the swamps of Maryland, at the Audubon Club, or cruising along the MARGARET E. Peg or Mfigger, as some of us like to call her, is always ready to take part in the violent political debates to which our class is ad- dicted, but at least she usually has a few facts to back herself up!

PAN COAST of a bridge game, Peggy is seen, running off in all directions to get a fourth, and she cer- tainly knows the rule book backwards and forwards, too. VVhatever course Peg chooses, be it marriage soon, or marriage later, we are sure she will make a success of it.

WALLACE S. MARTINDALE, III Since kindergarten, jerry has been the class pro on the 88 keys. If there is a piano, and jerry is around, Bumble-Boogie is the in- evitable result. jerry is outstanding in every- thing he undertakes, especially bridge fwe think he must have started playing in the cradlej. In sports, jerry is captain of the racquet men, and his wicked serve has won many a game for us. jerry is a speed demon on the highways, too, and we are expecting him to come in any day now, with a ticket for parking in the middle of the street. SUZANNE VAN LOEHR NOLDE Do you see someone who looks very familiar peering at you vaguely? Don't worry, that's Van, and she's probably left her glasses some- where. Il' she hasn't lost her glasses, she's usu- ally running around with a hockey stick in her hand, wondering if she'll make the game JAY A. .lay came to us in seventh grade, and during these six years everyone has known him for ll likeable, good-natured chap, ready to laugh at anyone's jokes, especially his own. Y'Ve all associate him very closely with the Hearse , which adds its share ol' character to the other vehicles in the school yard. No one can deny in time. We hear that Van has a secret flame, but her true love is her horse, and what girl will forget those wonderful dollar an hour rides out in the country. Her house, too, is always open and there are few of us who have not enjoyed the Nolde hospitality. McGOWAN that jay has a distinctive way,on the dance floor, and as for his piano playing, no Open house would be complete without hearing tIay's repetoire of Darktown Strutter's Ball , Peg O'My Heart , and Darktown Strutters Ball .

S. has been amazed by his endless antics and clowning. More recently, he has given vent to his energy at Wistar Brown and the gym. Any spec- tator at a G. F. S. basketball game couldn't MARGARET Patsy is one of the few seniors who can do everything from driving a jeep to winning a game of bridge or tennis. As president of the Athletic Council, Pat did a wonderful job, which proves that there is little that she can- not accomplish. With her sweet, winning have helped noticing the agile fellow with the distinctive crew cut, playing an outstanding game. Whether his destination be Spray Beach, California, or Burnham Road, we're sure there will never be a dull moment when Gene is around. C. PAUL manner, and winsome smile, Patsy is one of the best-liked girls in the class. YVe will al- ways remember the lifts Patsy has given us in the jeep and those famous argyles she labored on so tirelessly during history-Qbefore the Ban, that isj. GILLES PIERRE The feminine hearts of the senior class have been beating noticeably faster this year, due to the addition to the school of a French- man from Falaise named Gilles. Much to the distress of the ladies, however, his hangout at an open house, is as near to the ping-pong table as possible. He is hard to beat, as many people have discovered. But ping-pong is not his only sportg our soccer team was given a big boost by Gilles, when he joined it, and showed the boys just how the game should be played. Its been lots of fun having Gilles with us, and we only hope he won't decide to return to France too soon. Q.. 64 I' in -F
