f. V. Barketball 3, 4 Track 3, 4 ARTHUR J. PETERS Artie Winn, college P Artie came to us in September of 1951, at the beginning of our junior year. Since his arrival, he has endeared himself to his class- mates by his ready wit and agreeable personality. There was never an argument in which Artie did not have the last word. He was best known for these retorts, and continually had his classmates in an uproar. From a more serious point of view, however, Artie is one of the fine students of the class and excels in mathematics and French. As for sports, Artie was a mainstay of the J. V, basketball team and a steady track performer. Arties's plans for the future are uncertain, but he has narrowed it down to either the field of engineering or a naval career. However, it is not uncertain, that whatever the chooses, he will be a credit to his parents, his school, and his country. ,A ,. , -,,,L
