GARY MARIO MERLINO Gary came to Prep in the fall of 1954 after spending a year at Highline High School. He immediately took up the timeconsuming occupation of avoiding his beloved educa- tors' homework and trying to find the short- est and easiest route to Holy Names. Gary's little red go machine has been tearing around Prep for the past two years, a living example of Gary's favorite hobby, cars. Hot Rod claims that his sole ambition in life is to make wine with Dave McMurray. Gary plans on going to college at Seattle U., but hasn't decided as yet what his career in life will be. SEAN CORBALEY MALONE That's the way the cookie crumbles, says Sean Malone. And for Sean the cookie must have crumbled very nicely. This cheerful Irishman entered Prep in 1954 from Vashon High School and immediately set out to make a name for himself on the football field. Curly played football l, 2, 3, 4 and varsity football 4. Then Sean put his hobby of skiing to good use by joining the ski team 4. Sean is still undecided as to his future and his college plans, but after he gets his diploma, he says that he will give the fire department some business when he burns Prep to the ground. DAVID LEE MICHAELSON Dave wandered into Prep in the fall of 1954 from Blessed Sacrament Grade School. He soon made a marked influence on the class of '58, and continued to do so for the rest of his years at Prep. Big Dave spent his spare hours thinking up new ways to keep the boys in Mr. Ti'i's study hall laughing and Mr. Tri frustrated. He took part in the Glee Club in his iunior and senior years. He hasn't decided on what his career in life will be, but for now he will be content to pass physics. fi f.. 27 Socin' it up

TERENCE FRANCIS KEARNS The first half of the Kearns twins, Terry, is known as the top dragster around school. His hobby is '40 Fords, and he became the S.P.T.A.'s top eliminator for 1956-'57. But Terry has not let his work on cars interfere with his activities at school. Terry was a member of the Sodality l, 2, Pep Club l, 2, and Prom Committee 3. His classmates have elected him class Athletic Director 2, 3.

ROBERT ELMO LEWIS With a squeal of tires, Bob rodded up to Prep in '54 from St. Mary's in Seattle. Ani- mal turned out for Frosh football and then for J.V. football in his soph year. He later ioined the Glee club, and was active in several other activities. Bob is usually seen up at the Mixer and Holy, Names, and once in a while, he's seen in class.

RICHARD PUTNAM MITCHELL Another of the daily commuters from vari- ous outlying districts, Dick sauntered into Prep from Bellevue Junior High in the fall of 1954. Mitch's hot forty Ford has been one of the more permanent fixtures in the class of '58's collection of going mills. His great faith in his bomb is pointed out by his favorite expression, Forty Fords don't go! Besides cars, Dick spend his off school hours fiddling with stamps, boats, and new ex- cuses f6r almost anything. Dick claims that his life's ambition is to be a forty Ford Buyer, but it looks as though a pre-medical course at S.U. will intervene. DAVID EDWIN McCAUlEY Where's the party? yells Duke McCau- ley. When Dave entered Prep from St. Ed- wards in 1954, he determined to find out how effectively he could mix school and partying as his favorite expression indi- cates. While at Prep Dave took part in the following, activities: Class Vice-President 1, Soph-Frosh Baseball, Class Athletic Director 2, 35 and Pep Club 3. He claims that his favo- rite pastime is hitting parked cars. Dave plans on a career as a Certified Public Accountant, but he claims that he wants to give Mr. Nelson spats all day long. With his pleasing personality and his sense of humor to help him in life, Dave can't help but be a big success. JOHN FORBES MQDERMOTT When John entered Prep in the fall of '54, he decided to make his daily treks from Mer- cer lsland worth while.
