“Jonesie” Nancy C. Jones Style Show (4) Nancy came to us from Rhinebeck, New York, in her junior year where she was active in dramatics, chorus, and basketball. She enjoys especially the tersichorean and culi- nary pursuits (dancing and cooking, as you must know). Jonesie’s jet black hair, pretty blue eyes, and good-looking clothes are the envy of us all. We’ve heard her mention some- thing about wanting to be an air-line stewardess. Merriam K. Knapp Style Show (2) Merriam is a gal of few words, but those few words are always well worth listening to. She was one of our first girl “pilots” and has managed to keep her vehicle on the road ever since. Her pleasant voice, efficiency, and slightly mis- chievous grin (which can broaden into a real Colgate smile) will certainly be appreciated in any office. Karen G. Kriplin Clementine Style Show (4) With jet black hair and snapping eyes, Clem is a veri- table live wire and adds her bit of spice to the spirit of ’56. There’s nothing in the line of work she won’t tackle with boundless energy and still find time for recreation, especially skating. Karen has her sights set on a secretarial career and also plans to visit the British Isles soon. Ban voyage, Karen! Patricia L. Law ‘‘Pat Librarian (3); GAA (1); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2); Masque (2, 3, 41, “The Bat” (3), “Wizard of Oz” (2); Style Show (2. 4) Got a headache? Need a nurse? In a few years Pat will be qualified to give you a pill. Rather quiet (???), Pat has a bubbling personality and is our expert on “How to Present a Skit.” Right, Pat? Her intuition, sense of humor and a kind word for everyone are three things we’ll always re- member about Pat.

Anthony R. Hill “Tony” A preliminary chuckle, a cautious grin, a mischievous laugh—Tony’s here. We seniors all agree that he’s the “Most- fun-in-home-rooms” even though the faculty may not concur with us. A happy-go-lucky, sunny-side-up sort of guy, Tony contributes much to the general jollifications here and there. Friendly, funny, and fairly loquacious, Tony represents Dignity suffused with Merriment. Timothy E. Houghton “Tim Eat, drink, and be merry; tomorrow’s uncertain is “Big Tim’s” avowed philosophy. A scintillating character who’s got what it takes, Tim’s bark is worse than his bite, we can assure you. In school, Tim’s all business. He seeks his pleas- ure on the ski slope, tennis court, or in merely “hacking around.” Marks, mind and hypotheses are Tim’s assets, and a better conversationalist is hard to find. David H. Hudson “Rock” Football J.V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3); Basketball J.V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3); Baseball J.V. (1), Varsity (2, 4); Track (3); Assembly Committee (3, 4). Chairmanship (4); Freshman Chorus (1), Boys’ Chorus (2), Mixed Chorus (2); Band (1, 2, 3, 4), All-State Band (2, 4); Student Council (1, 2, 3. 4), Secretary-Treasurer (2); Junior Prom Music Committee Chairman (3) May we present Davey “Crockett” Hudson, the cham- pion lady-charmer with the wink that drops ’em all. What would life have been without this demon to torment us! Al- though he’s a hot trumpet soloist, Dave also settles down to being a real asset to our Student Council and sees to it that our assemblies run smoothly. Janet R. Ippich “Jan” GAA (1, 2, 3, 4); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4); Pro-Merito (4); Style Show (2) One of the calmer gals in the illustrious class of ’56, Jan is very skillful in the domestic arts of cooking and sew- ing. Her favorite subject is arithmetic; but that necessarily involves her pet peeve, homework. Dependable and sports- manlike, Janet is always ready with that friendly smile and helping hand.

Bradley M. Lawrence ‘‘Brad’' Ski Club (1, 2, 3, 4), Ski Team (1, 2, 3), Letter (2); Junior Prom Program Chairman (3); Projectionist (1, 2, 3); Pro-Merito (4) Although we won’t assert that punctuality is Brad’s middle name, we do agree that achievement and Brad are synonymous. Thus far he has distinguished himself in church work by becoming president of the Troy Methodist Con- ference. Brad is happily argumentative and his unantici- pated witticisms have flipped many a dreary situation sunny- side-up. Whatever the nebulous future may hold for Brad, we’re sure he’ll be equal to the challenge. Katherine I. Lowell “Kathy” Amiable and amicable Kathy is the kind of gal we like to have around. Calm, collected, and congenial, she possesses those rather rare virtues of being a good listener and an in- teresting conversationalist. Always quiet? Nope! See that ring on her fourth finger? That goes to prove that she always gets things “Don.” Jeanine I. Mathewson “Jim” GAA (1, 2, 3, 4); Masque (2. 3, 4). Pin 14). “She Stoops to Conquer” (4); Pro-Merito (3); Office Staff (3. 4); Silver M” (4); Solonscope (3, 4); Record Board (3, 4), Business Manager (4); Junior Prom Pro- gram Committee Chairman (3); Girls State (3) Jeanine is very active on the Solonscope, Record Board, and Masque. There isn’t a committee organized around school that doesn’t want Jeanine either as a member or, better still, a chairman. Although Jeanine may seem to be rather reserved at times, she never fails to join the “gang” whenever there’s work to be done or fun to be had. She’s a wonderful gal who deserves lots of success. Peter C. Maunsell “Wedge” Football J.V. (1, 2), Varsity (4); Basketball J.V. (1, 2); Solonscope (1) Ah ha! Another football player! And how about those many hours of serious studying? Well, anyhow . . . this lithe, extroverted, devil-may-care guy with the distinctive crew cut and the flashing eyes really gets around. A natural tease, Pete’s never without that trusty wisecrack and always adds spice to any party. Our friend, “The Wedge,” aspires to be a multi-millionaire—and before you know it, he probably will be, too.
