Morrie’s flair for dramatics is well emphasized in his list of honors. His talents, however, do not terminate in this field; he was one of our class’ outstanding musicians.

Franny” may best be described by the adage, A friend in need is a friend indeed.” Always willing to lend a helping hand, he assumes responsibilities modestly. Unique possessor of a rare sense of humor which invariably is the center of many a gab- fest,” Franny” is always able to hold his own in a friendly argu¬ ment or on the dance floor.
