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. ROHRBACH find her by elbowing your way through a hud- dle of males, fall sizes and agesj. Last year she made a charming Phyliss in Io1anthe , and we wonder how Susie can manage all this, pull in excellent marks, and still have time for that certain special crew cut.

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

El Camino Real and Chemistry were Bi1l's struggles. Sambo will be long remembered by all his classmates. MARGUERITE M. ROOP The argle socks Margie is constantly knit- ting are unforgettable even in a class of highly developed knitters because of her constant attempts to get the colors to match. They are present along with Roop's giggle in almost every class. Her faux pas are well known around school, and if you want to know who did what, when, or where just ask Margie. P.S. Never mention the art of sailing when she is anywhere around, or you're sure to be showered with the stories of her unlucky races at Surf City. DAVID SELLIN Someone looking for a model? lf it is a tall guy, with a brown hat, it is most likely Dave, one of our prime artists with pen and ink at his complete command. He entered school in sixth grade, and left in his junior year for Sweden. Dave returned in time, though, to graduate with the class of '48. He readily has become adapted to our idosyn- crasies and has pepped up' our morale con- siderably. Dave's talent is sure to land him somewhere, be it the Art Museum or the Sunday Bulletin.
