Mary Gamble 1 shall laugh myself to death”—Shakespeare Mary exemplifies Pope’s chaos of thought and passion, all confused. She has an uncanny knack of turning a simple statement into a tortuous mass of words which clarifications only make worse. A philanthropist at heart, she can always be found with a cheery smile, attempting to raise the spirits of gloomy classmates whose thoughts arc many males away. Mary’s bounding enthusiasm and unique ability to whip up songs have proved themselves valuable assets in her job of all school White Team Captain. A loyal supporter of the Dramatic Club, she displayed her dramatic talent as Lydia in Pride and Prejudice. Besides these activities, Mary is one of the lucky few who are qualified to enter the select discussions of the Eastern Situation, in World Affairs Club, that is. We know that Gamble’s sunny smile will cheer up as many new friends as it has old ones. ’46, '47, ’48 Senior Dramatic Club ’48 Athletic Committee ’48 Captain of School White Team ’48 Varsity Hockey 48 Dance Club ’47, ’48 World Affairs Club ’47 Publications Committee '46 School Procedure Committee ’45 Junior Dramatic Club 20

Jerry Fosseen Creeping like a snail Unwillingly to school. —Shakespeare Slink” I'osscen, in her plaid glasses, slithers over the Senior Room transom at 12:30 to find herself just in time for lunch. Sorry, girls! The alarm clock failed again. I can’t understand it!” As she sits down in one of her typical poses, Jerry relates a dramatic narrative accompanied by elaborate gestures. Lou’s subtle jokes and experienced advice make her a very valuable member of our class. Her originality and executive ability made her a good chairman of the Entertainment Committee; she ambitiously holds down a job, while the rest of us regard her energy as mad folly. Seriously, Jerry is respected for her sincerity, her candor, and for her sense of humor which has proved a foremost asset to what might, without her, be a retarded class. ’48 Entertainment Committee Chairman ’48 Dance Club ’46, ’47, ’48 Senior Glee Club ’46, ’47 Senior Dramatic Club ’47 World Affairs Club ’46 Public Relations Committee ’45 Junior Dramatic Club ’45 Junior Glee Club 19

Marjorie Louise Gibbs A poet could not but be gay, In a jocund company.”—Wordsworth Hearing an uncouth laugh from the vicinity of the nearest Bridge game, we know that Marjorie is again with us. Our jocose Bridge enthusiast, gently pleading for a fourth to join her and her evil cronies, settles down once more for a strenuous day over the hot card table, pausing occasionally for classes, gym, and other such trivia. Marjorie’s love for sports has far exceeded that of most seniors and has won for her a gorgeous figure and for the seniors, many a game. However, despite the pressure of Shoey’s Superior Strength Solarium and life in the Senior Room, Marge manages to work up enough brainpower to keep her grades consistently high and her classmates consistently hysterical over her witty comments. Here’s luck to the chic damsel, whose jocularity makes her such fun to know!
