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.
