Don's beet red blush is famous, and he has the distinction of being one of the few boys ever to give open houses, fSpecially that MIRIA Mimi is our class liberal-need we say more? If you're looking for a good argument, just mention lfVestbrook Peglar, or Russia, and you'll wonder later what hit you, and if she will ever give up without having the last word. Keeping up with her beaux is harder last Novemberlj Janet is also a fiend for jazz, and invariably turns our subject of conversa- tion to the latest jazz concert.

Shouldering the responsibility of the Student Association this year, and having been our class Vice-President in junior year, Bill still seems to keep up with the three other divisions in his lifeg namely, sports, school- work, and women. QO1' perhaps we should say just A woman.j Sam has that certain something which makes everyone like and respect himg that is why he was elected cap- tain of the basketball team. 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.

-ina. CLEMENT SWISHER Clem came swishing into our class in ninth grade. Through his years at school, Clem has been in that select organization, the stage crew, as well as being general handy- man around the school. He can usually be found puttering around the loft, at almost SARA E. Sara is one of those people who make even their best friends wonder. Our favorite Southern belle certainly proves that brains and beauty do mix. She can also give us some good extra-curricular advice, whether it be golf, or the opposite sex. Although she is a anytime of day, or looking frantically for Mr. Price, or George. Clem is quiet and retiring fusually at jane -kintownj and although he avoids the limelight whenever possible, Clem has always been a loyal member of the class of '48, SPEDDEN calm and serene mainstay in our somewhat boisterous class, we wonder if perhaps she's meditating on her past or future summers in romantic old New Orleans. We won't forget that southern hospitality which unfailingly greeted us at the Spedden threshold, either. MERCER B. TATE Something new was added when Merc's heap appeard on the lot, and since then we've heard nothing but questions about greasing the motor, or descriptions of what paint is going on next Saturday. Merc is one of the original members of the class of '48, J- . and one of the most faithful. Whether he is tearing around managing our basketball team, working on the Service Committee, or cutting a mean rug, Merc is always in there plugging for the class of '48's cause, and with plenty of spirit, too. u ' 1, 4 - l .- .
