PAUL ALLEN GIESE Goose was iust one of the 108 freshmen who climbed the front stairs of Prep in 1954. But he soon made his presence felt. Paul made his first mark as a halfback on the frosh football squad, then followed basket- ball 1, 2, 3, 45 varsity 4, and baseball 1, 2, 3, 4, varsity 2, 3, 4. Baseball has been Paul's forte-he was named to the Catholic all- city team 2, 3, 4. Goose's other activities include Pep Club 3, 4, Panther Club 3, 47 Panther Club prexy 4, Lettermen's Club 3, Ag and Prom Committee 3. He was elected class Athletic Director 2, 3, and Student Body President A. Paul has not yet made a defin- ite college choice, but his present preference seems to be Santa Clara. li Dave and the cat chicken MICHAH GRIFFIN Griff ambled into Prep in the fall of 1954 from Denny Junior High School. He soon fell into the habits of all good Prep- sters-getting out of homework and causing as much havoc as possible. Mike spend much of his off-school time outdoors, hunting and fishing. His red Mercury convertible has been a prominent addition to Prep's collection of bombs. He claims that his one ambition in life is to put to the best use possible the education the Jesuits have given him in high school-he wants to be a bum. Seriously, Mike plans on taking a yet undecided major at the U. of W. FORREST MllO HADFIELD Presenting our next senior, Mr. Forrest Had- field a 1954 grad of Saint Teresa. Fred, as he was nicknamed by Mr. Goodwin, has be- come known at Prep for the quiet determina tion with which he accomplished any tasks he undertook. He has used most of his out- of-class time to engage in his favorite pastime, hunting. He claims the Prep championship because he brought in a bigger moose than anybody else in the school. Because he has been one of the few students not to fail one of Fr. Falsetto's trig tests, Fred plans a career in science, probably chemical engineering, at a yet undecided institution. 23

The Oval Teen is well known for his puns, which al- ways seem to pop up in every class. Fat boy claims that his ambition is to solve Burris's romantic problems, but it looks as if college will soon be occupying most of Jerry's time. MICHAEL JOSEPH FLYNN The other half of the infamous Flynns, Mike, also grabbed a scholarship to Prep in the fall of 1954, and immediately began his career as one of Prep's most outstanding and dependable leaders.

1 GARY MARTIN HAGGARD Full of enthusiasm, this Senior stalked up to Prep with a scholarship in '54 as a gradu- ate of St. Catherine's. When not keeping his grade point within the top five, Gary has found time for Letterman's Club 3, 4: Sodal- ity l, 2, 3, 4, Panther Club 3, 4, Panther Staff 'l, 2, 3, 4, Exchange Editor 4, Debate Club l, 2, 3,'4, Debate Club Veep 47 Radio Club l, 2, Harlequin Club 2, 3, 4, Echo Staff 45 Football Manager l, 2, 3, 4, Basketball Manager l, 2, 35 and Golf Team 3, 4. An admirable high school recordl Such loyalty and willingness to work can only bring success. MICHAEL TIMOTHY HAMERLY Meet The Great Thinker of the class of 1958, Mike Hamerly. An extremist in many ways, Mike made a momentous decision when he decided to enter Prep in the fall of '54. Mike quickly won his place in the hearts of all Prepsters by his thought-provoking re- search into such timely topics as this: Did the early Americans, according to the traffic laws of that time, paddle their canoes on the left or right hand side of the stream? After graduation, Mike plans to give up his hobby of stamp collecting and head south to the U. of Mexico to take up archaeology. 24 GERALD MICHAEL HICKEY Jerry, the little man with the big voice, was another of the mob to descend on Prep from Saint Joe's. His personality quickly asserted itself, and he was elected class Secretary-Treasurer l, and class Veep 2. Jerry played for the frosh football team, and ran the mile for the track squad l, 2, 4. ln his spare time, Jerry turned his attention to .that one activity in which all Prepsters engage at one time or another-confusing teachers. After that glorious day in June when he becomes another of the many Prep alumni, Jerry plans to attend either Seattle U. or Washington, maioring in Business Adminis- tration.
