l CHARLOTTE CLARA FREEMAN Charlotte provides the poetic element in our class, for whenever we fail to be inspired, we are consoled by the knowledge that she will produce a poem to satisfy Miss Stewart's demands. Firmly believing in the old adage that good things come in small packages, we have no doubts that Charlotte will raise the Freshman Class average at Connecticut University next year. Fourteen FREDERIC CALDWELL EARLE Actually the school day does not begin until Fred arrives just in time to enjoy fifteen minutes of recess, for this indispen- sable member holds two responsible posi- tions-l. spark-plug of the Student Coun- cil, and 2. deflator of overinflated egos. It seems that his courses in psychology and sociology have given hirn the inspiration for dedicating his life to the work of uplifting not only his classmates, but way- ward humanity in general. l l 1

RITA CATHERINE CONWAY Do you hear strange noises issuing from the lab at odd moments? You do? Well, it's no one but Rita, formulating a revo- lutionary chemical brew to astonish more conventional experts in the world of the test tube and Bunsen burner. As Hamden Hall's current post-graduate student, her extremely irregular schedule affords time for these fiendish activities. We hope that her zealous scientific aspirations will not lead to the demolishing of Cornells laboratories. ,l V t JOHN EDWARD DOWMAN lt's all right, but it's not humorous! Humor seems to be the order of every day for john, looking for it in everything and everybody. Could this have been the reason for his star performance .rs Bot- tom? It seems quite admirable that with his many worrisome responsibilities as our competent advertising manager he can still recognize the brighter side of life in all situations. We hope he will find the great, wide world as hilarious as life at Hamden Hall! Thirteen

NATALIE LOIS JAFFE To be editor-in-chief of the Yearbook, Natalie relinquished the office of class treasurer which she had managed so well for two years. Music hath charms, and Natalie claims her share both in Glee Club and as pianist, while her Thespian talents were displayed in the portrayal of Her- mia. With her many bewildering respon- sibilities she often reminds us of a yo-yo, either all wound up or all played out. We hope that all this springtime confusion will lead her to something more profitable than an aching back, ROBERT ALLYN MCGRATH Mac really isn't so serious as his pic- ture may lead one to believe. His rare sense of humor and ever-ready laugh have delighted us throughout our high school career. Whether battling john or trying to control the erratic mechanism of his luxurious Rolls-Royce, he somehow man- ages to retain composure at all times. Whenever he can't be found at school, we know he is probably taking another Naval exam. If all this avails, he should certainly be among the midshipmen at Annapolis next year. Fifteen
