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.

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

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!

VVhatever course Peg chooses, be it marriage soon, or marriage later, we are sure she will make a success of it.

The fem- inine half of our co-editorship of the Blue and White is famous for her smart, and tailored clothes, her preference for Haming locks, and WALTER Have a question on religious problems or world affairs? Lee is the man to see for the inside dope, along with his own personal opinions. Lee is a Momba from way back, and divides his time between their meetings, and his activities at G.F.S. Conscientious in SUZANNE L. In tenth grade a perpetually energetic, infectiously enthusiastic, personality-plus young lass thrust herself into our midst. Since then, Susie has been briskly occupying herself with one interest or another. When she is not racing madly down the hall dis- charging some Pastorian business, you may without a doubt, Woody's open houses have become revered by the class. Though she's one of our youngest, because of skipping a grade, Mary-Clay has proved herself equal to guy tazk that was set before her LEE UBEL f 4, Z ',f ef WMM!

Waw-Waw's anti-sodapop campaign has drawn on our sup- plies of milk, and has been one of the stand- ing jokes of the class.
