ALICIA MARGARITA PIANCA 12 OCCOM RIDGE Latin, French, and conversational Spanish are but a few of Alicia's scholastic ac complishments. Her work as editor of the Harpoon during her junior year produced ar excellent paper. Constantly after tardy reporters, she could often be seen stuffing article: and papers into her bulging brown leather zippered notebook. Long black braids ar ranged neatly on top of her head, eyes that sparkle and nearly close when she laughs, ant a love for bright colors and foreign jewelry depict Alicia. Well traveled, she has spen summers at Cape Cod, in Puerto Rico and in Europe, and wherever she goes, her ability to get along with other people wins her many friends.

ARTHUR HENRY PIPER LYME, NEW HAMPSHIRE On the basketball Hoor Art is a whiz, and '54 is justly proud of its quintet captain for the past season. '6Pipe grew up with a desire to play basketball, and the trail has led him to four years on the Hanover team. As well as a star hoopster, Art is a competent baseball outfielder. He has a fine sense of humor and never seems to be disturbed about anything. Art plans to swap his habitual sport shirt and white bucks for a khaki outfit and a career with Uncle Sam.

Last year her sweet soprano voice was heard as the lead in The Mikado and as the soloist in the Chorus' Christmas rendition of I Wonder as l Wander. Although music is first and foremost on Janet's list of interests, she tinds time to take part in many other activities. As Secretary of the Inde Board, she is known for her neat, copious notes. Her ability to make friends stood her in good stead at Vermont Girls' State last summer. Jan's sparkling enthusiasm and her MI think it will be fun attitude help enliven any occasion.

ARNOLD MELVIN RICH LYME ROAD Sonny hopes someday to make a lot of money so that he may live up to his name CThat's a Rich one.l His chief interest lies in anything that has four wheels and he spends a good deal of his time labouring over his 1938 Chevy, not because he likes tt tinker on it but also because the repair work is necessary. Not content to have only the life-size versions about, he likes to build model trucks, for this is the only way in whicl he can bring them into his house. As is not uncommon among the boys in Hanover, one of his great ambitions is to run a drag race with the police cruiser on Main Street When his old car is on the blink, he goes over to Norwich and clears some of the hot-rot lust out of his system on the roller-skating floor. When Arny becomes an Army mechanic the enemy had better be on its toes, for he is bound to turn out a fleet of hot-rod jeep: that will revolutionize modern warfare.

JOSEPH HENRY MERRILL, JR. 6 HIGHLAND AVENUE .loe's specialty is never letting life bother him, always enjoying himself whether he is working or just having a good time. He may often be seen turning his charm on the girls, and the Joemobile is constantly loaded down with a bevy of them. Easy-going as he may seem, Joe has a serious side, too. A reliable movie operator since the seventh grade, his loping stride down the hall and two or three reels under one arm have been a familiar sight. The many jobs he has had have made him a jack-of-all-trades and a handy fellow to have around. Audio-Visual Aides 1, 2, 3, 4: Football 3: Basketball l. ROBERT CHARLES MORSE LYME ROAD Those outside the class of '54 may not know it, but Bob is a piano virtuoso, an un- discovered Frankie Carle. Few are as much at ease at the keyboard as Bob, but his modesty conceals this ability. Mouse is also proficient in many other fields. He is an expert dancer and roller skater and an ardent sportsman. He has a good deal of academic ability and a Hair for creative writing as well. Spanish compositions are dashed off in Control periods often with rewarding marks. One of Bob's ambitions is to have a story printed in a sports magazine, and with all of his hunting and fishing experience to draw upon, his writing should soon be in print.

Auburn hair, a slow deliberate manner of speech, exotic earrings, and a discriminating taste in selecting colors in tones of bronze, green, and gold are personified in Mary. A cosmo- politan outlook on life draws her interest into many fields including languages such as Latin, French, Russian, and Spanish. A keen sense of humor and satire, and a broad background of knowledge give her an unusual Hair for writing and for brilliant conver- sation. A fast gallop across the campus on a white horse, black mourning clothes on the day after the 1952 presidential election, and firm stands on controversial issues in current problems class are but a few reflections on Mary's high school days.

Since all females aren't bom Elizabeth Taylors or Rita Hayworths, there is a grand future for those who can enhance the beauty of others. Sandy's ambition of becoming a beautician is well on its way to ful- fillment and success. Her lipstick collection of 45 types and hues is an eyeopener to most girls. Sparkling Irish eyes, and a temper to match, attest the name O'Brien, but Sandy's pleasing giggle could originate anywhere, and her pet expression, Well, get a load of that! couldn't be anything but American Yankee.

IOHN EDWARD SARGENT 7 RIP ROAD Jack is another lover of the rugged sport of skiing. The coldest of winter days will find him out on Balch Hill, provided there's snow. If the snow doesn't live up to expectations, he might be found at the Co-op telling the salesman how much cheaper ski equipment is at Art Bennett's, or he might be across the street telling Art how much :heaper it is at the Co-op. As chairman of the Class Committee this year, .lack has ably iemonstrated his ability for this position as the organizer and man behind the scene for :he Senior Ball.

WILLIAM JAMES SMALLEY WEST WI-IEELOCK STREET Tall and quiet, Bill possesses the remarkable quality of always being on time. He has received enviable recognition for this record, achieved by only a few in the school's history, of never having been tardy or absent in twelve years of attendance, This is an achievement to be proud of, and it is this diligent dependability that characterizes him in everything he does. Bicycling serves both as a means of transportation and a sport of leisure for Bill, who is a familiar sight biking in and around Hanover waving to all his friends. He is a movie fan as soon as the sun sets, and he also enjoys woodworking. CHARLES GUY SMITH NORWICI-I, VERMONT Smitty's favorite pastime is undoubtedly the automobile. Cars were made to go on four wheels, but it has been said that Charlie tried driving his famous red jeep on two, accounting for the nickname, Suicide Smith. He drives a puck with a force com- parable to that of the horseless carriage, and there are those who can see a definite re- semblance to the way each is controlled. When not behind the wheel of his jeep, he may be tinkering with it or another car down at Southworth's Garage where many of his cronies can be found, and the alfairs of the day discussed.

Hoping some day to own her own motel or restaurant, she is gaining the needed experience in this line of work. A nimble- lingered typist, Marian spends many hours keeping in good order the correspondence and records of the Audio-Visual Aides Department. Another important position that Marian ably fulfills is that of the Head Librarian. Stray encyclopedias and scattered magazines never manage to get very far from her sight. Although she wears a ring on the third linger of her left hand, Marian plans to study for a year or two in business school before marriage.
