CECILE THERESE FANNY Life and love are all a dream Every class needs a silent, reliable element, and our class has this component in Cecile. She's the gal with the million problems to which none of us can offer a sound solution! Her subject of conversation, when she does have anything to say, centers on her man of the day. Thiscan be Jimmy, Joey, or Dick. Whoever it is, you feel as if you actually know him after she's through with her analysis! Possessing a persistent attitude and a dependable character, we 're sure this gal will find her place in the world training 3, Christmas play 4. CLAUDIA LOUISE FRENCH Silence is one great art of conversation A little bit shy, but a friendly classmate nevertheless, is Claudia. Always ready to lend a helping hand, this member of our class can most often be found studying while we are frittering our time away. Usually, when we are still fretting over some hard task, she has done it without saying a word. Claudia is a quiet, demure little miss, but, despite this, she is full of fun. Though she is small, Claudia has proved an important cog in the wheel which has helped roll the Class of '58 to a successful ending.

General chorus 1,2,4, usherette 4, assembly 4 prom 3,4 driver VICTOR RUDOLPH GIRARD, Jr. Simplicity, sincerity, and service In Vic's case, we can truthfully say that the word is mightier than the sword. He doesn't say very much, but when he does, you can be certain that everyone listens with an open ear as well as an open mind. As has been often said, his silence is his power. He possesses unbelievable insight into other peoples' problems and often has astonished us with his brief but accurate summations of touchy situations. He has his own very definite opinion on all con- temporary issues, but it takes a little persuading before he will share his views. We can only wish that his future will be as free of problems as he has tried to make our lives.

RUSSELL GEORGE DOWNING Now, don't get riled! Rastus from the old country-Epsom! l-le boasts that if you haven't lived in Epsom, you haven't lived at all! Without fear of repetition, here is truly one of the greatest guys we 've ever known. Rastus hardly ever says no to our asking for his services or for the use of his faithful Chevrolet-and what's a car unless it's a Chevy like his? Rastus doesn't talk much, but when he gets going the best advice we can offer is to hang on to everything you own and brace yourself! This guy is a comedian equalled by none. There's actually not much sense in our wishing him good luck be- cause he 's competent enough to get anything he wants!

J OANNE BERTHA EDST ROM The song that we hear in our ears is only the song that is sung in our hearts. Musical aspirations galore--that's Joanne! Her splendid singing and great piano playing have contributed much to this, the class of '58. She has faithfully accompanied many a performer on those shining ivories, and has come forth, herself, with simply beautiful vocal solos on many occasions. Especially memorable was her contribution during our senior assembly. We can't recall Joanne's ever saying an unsavory word about anyone. Her speech is just as gentle as all her actions. She is a friend to all-- and a swell one, too. Just a glance at Joanne's left hand will tell you what plans she has made for her life. We 're all very happy for her and wish her all the joy possible.

Curly hair, big brown eyes, good manners and a terrific blush are what make Dean quite a popular guy! The boys like Dean because of his cooperation and modesty, the girls think highly of him because Hunting fdeer and birds, that is! J takes up a lot of Dean's spare time As a matter of fact, whenever he's not in classes, he is known to be either in the woods or at the station alternating between pumpin gas and chewing the fat with Scratch and his brothers B1ll May you have good luck and good fortune in whatever you decide Basketball 1,45 general chorus 1,23 senior play 4 shop display 1,

LAURA ALICE GRONDIN Only the aggressive person reaches his goal! Humorous, mischievous, full of deviltry, and a lively personality with a perpetual funny story or joke are but a few of the words that describe our classmate Laura. A memorable figure in class activities, anyone looking for her is apt to find her where a story-telling session is under way. Here is a person willing to contribute readily toward the humor of others, even at her own expense. Laura can take a joke as well as perform one--much to the delight of her friends. Her past years at the Academy have created an impression all their own on all who have come in contact with this outstanding member of the Class of '58. We trust her future will be bright and full of fun and laughter.

Bob is one of the most athletically minded members of our class. He started out by first becoming a manager, then he became a player and has ever since been a permanent fixture of the team , be it base- ball or basketball. Of course we have all heard the expression 'looks are deceiving,' and this is quite true with Bob. From the exterior he strikes you as being quiet and unassuming, but he can tell you all the major points of any one of the Big League Baseball players--which is really quite a feat. We are sure that with his interest in sports, and the eamestness with which he goes about his tasks, Robert will be a huge success in what- ever he undertakes.

Here in Jerry, we have that tall, dark and handsome element that every class simply must have! An import from Manchester, this fellow gained friends practically with the snap of a finger, which is no surprise, for he has proven himself to be a very valuable asset. We're proud to claim him as one of our own. Never will we forget those cold stormy winter momings when Jerry drove his famous little green jeep over the curb and right up the front walk in order to avoid walking the distance from the parking lot to the door! This boy never ceases to amaze us! Here's hoping the future will be just a series of wonderful experiences for him. Bishop Bradley 1,23 Manchester Central 3, assembly 4, prom 4.
