f JOHN O’BRIEN “An airplane flying into the sunset is the most beautiful sight I’ve ever seen.’’ John, an A student, was always ready for a debate, though the topic be marbles or jets. His argumentiveness may have developed during World War II. The Re¬ creation Commission and the bookstore proved an outlet for his ability.

She enjoyed cards, Lou, and running the mimeograph machine. After gradua¬ tion, Polly intends to teach in Harford County.
