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.

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.

EDWARD JOSEPH HICKEY, Jr. With affection beaming in one eye, and calculation out of the other Here is five feet, nine and one half inches of pure energy! Never have we witnessed more vibrations than when Eddie makes one of mite. Furthermore, it holds true that his pen and pencil are just as sharp as a sword, and anything on paper by Eddie is very potent. When Ed transferred from Bradley, he had to wait six months before he could even go out for basketball. However, the sacrifice was worth it, for once he joined the team he played well enough to compensate for the delay.

PETER STANLEY JURANTY, Jr. One of the greatest failings of mankind is the inability to stay quiet. If there is something going on, and 'round about you spy a hopped up pick-up, color green with red trim, you instinctively know that our classmate Pete is here. Pete is a 'bug' on chemistry and mathematics, so consequently he is many times asked to help out a fellow student in need. And, being Peter, he always lends a helping hand. Peter's willingness to help and participate in anything for the class is typified in the way he has thrown himself into soliciting patrons for the yearbook. Reliable, willing, and co-operative, Pete is sure to find himself on the road to fulfilling his ambitions in his future undertakings.

A shy, quiet classmate is Nancy, but an industrious worker just the same. To an on-looker, Nan appears to be quite silent most of the time, but to her fellow students, Nan is one of the most lively people we know. She has a strong personality, speaking only when spoken to, or when she has something worth-while to contribute to the conversation-a characteristic that very few people possess. Nan is very fond of sports, and placed second with her partner in badminton doubles, showing her aptitude for that particular sport. With her keen ability to work well with other people, and her will- ingness to learn something new, we are sure Nan will become a No. 1 success in whatever she chooses to do.
