KG ea ommanclanfa . . . Classmates will remember Margaret Ann Chiaborel long after she has been graduated from Lafayette because of her sweet personality and admirable character. She is a member of the National Honor Society which proves that she is an excellent scholar as well as a popular leader. Her splendid work on the Light staff Won for her the responsible po- sition of Editor-in-Chief of this annual, The 1941 Oak. Her ability as a leader was proved when she was chosen as a member of the Girl Re- serve Interclub Council and of the student senate. Because she is a diligent worker and a very lovely person, lllargaret Ann has been invited into many clubs and organizations and chosen to act on numerous com- mittees. Lafayette can indeed be proud of Maragaret Ann Chiaborel. Popular Bob Geiger has the official bars on his sleeve of President of the Senior Class of 1941, and it may be said that he is a very success- ful executive. Bob's versatility is proved by his talents which he has demonstrated in the Orphe-Delphian Society, the Hi-Y, the Student Sen- ate, and the National Honor Society. In the world of athletics, he has been one of the most brilliant stars, shining brightly in football, basket- ball, and track. He well might be envied for his friendly smile, his pleas- ing personality, his complete mastery of relaxation, and his leadership. He is prominent in all activities and is to be complimented on his many achievements. Bob is one of those fortunate persons who do everything well, as his sincerity, intelligence, and serious side are counter-balanced by a fun-loving and modest nature. Jerry Augustine's official title is President of the Student Senate and never has this office been more competently filled. His outstanding char- acteristics of efficiency and leadership have won the respect and friend- ship of the faculty and the entire student body. Under his direction, the legislative body has been functioning smoothly and the activity ticket has become a reality. It is not surprising that this friendly senior is active in the Hi-Y, Orphe-Delphian Society, and National Honor Society, and has held high offices in these organizations. It might be said that Jerry has a prominent part in all school activities as he is a veteran trooper of the Fun Fest and an experienced actor, having taken part in many school plays. Sometimes I Wonder, is one of his favorite expres- sions, and sometimes we Wonder how Jerry ever satisfactorily executes all his varied responsibilities.
