US Since the class of '43 are reluctant about revealing their pasts and since they all have exceptional talent for malicious slanderings, they decided to use them in descriptions of one another. For obvious reasons the name of the author of each paragraph will not be revealed. Step out of the way, people, there's a storm coming up. CHARLIE For the more obvious details: Charles Ashley is about five feet ten inches tall, a husky boy, has light-brown hair, a pleasant smile, and a laugh that comes out in punctuated bursts. For the more important characteristics: he is intelligent, very well-mannered, and congenial company, he loves to have a good time Cdates or stagl , and makes an excellent host. Charlie likes all sports. His good build and knowledge of wrestling make him one of the best I have seen in the unlimited weight class. As for football, an oHensive backfield-man might find a brick wall if he happened to hit Charlie's slot in the defensive line. In addition, he is a fairly good field-event man in track, with regard to the shot-put. Charlie's fun to be with at a party, because, among other things, he takes to almost any suggestion and makes a good time of it. He likes to dance, especially to Waltz. He is often heard singing arias from Gilbert and Sullivan -some people protest, others enjoy it immensely. All in all, Charlie's a good man. DIANA Dee is about five feet two, very pretty, has a tiny figure and long black hair. She has a mind of her own and is not afraid to use it, as her arguments with C.A. prove. Her playful moods are hilariously funny. Her maternal side is shown by her defiant affection for the most troublesome little demons on the school bus. Dee, or Dracula, as Dee is sometimes lovingly called, has a distinct aver- sion to studying in first hour study hall. She prefers to burrow into a blanket and go to sleep on the couch. This procedure is altered in class only by the absence of the blanket. Dee makes an intelligent remark and then rests on her laurels and spends the remainder of the period staring into space. Dee has a Persian cat who looks a little like Dee with its mysterious changing eyes. Napoleon is given to racing madly about the room hurdling obstacles in his path, and acting a bit demented. But, as Dee says, He's such a sweet cat. We're all going to miss you next year, Dee, when youlre in Arizona. CThe army camps out there couldn't have influenced you, could they?J We'll miss your unfailing sense of humor and your cheerful banging on the piano. COLETTE For a person of a seemingly conservative nature, Colette has certainly experienced plenty of adventure-from careening down Reynolds Road during a test drive, to returning home from Paris alone just before the bomb- shell in Europe. She is forever attempting new things. During the Christmas holidays she sold sweaters fto fickle women, in LaSalle and Koch's main aisle. 26
