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. He participated in Cub Basketball, Frosh Football, Track 1, 27 Football 2, 3, 45 Varsity 3, Aj Letterman's Club 3, 4, Pep Club Sp Class Sec.-Treas. 3, and Class Athletic Director 4. During the winter, Mac spends his spare time skiing. For now his main ambition is to get to par- ties, but after graduation he plans to attend Dentistry School at the U. of W. John's ability to get things done and his ability to keep a cool head will undoubtedly help him reach success later in life. 28 RODNEY FREDERICK McDONAl.D Rod roared into Prep from St. John's with the rest of the North-enders in the fall of 1954. After a year of getting acquainted, Rod was elected Sec.-Treas. of his class in his sophomore year. He also spent a year with the Sodality in his second year. Mac is famous for his -ability behind the wheel of a car, as his favorite expression, Hold on to yourself, indicates. He has spent much of his time trying to get out of uniust, un- reasonable, and senseless penances. Rod is undecided on his career in life, but whatever he chooses to do, we know that he can be successful at it.

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

Wg.. . LAWRENCE JOHN MCHUGH Equipped with a laugh and a surplus of gray matter, Larry McHugh ino relation to the distinguished Fr. Michael McH.ughl came to Prep on a one-year scholarship from St. Catherine's in the fall of '54. Besides main- taining a four-year, four point grade average, which made him Valedictorian of the Class of '58, Magoo was a Sodality member l, 2, was on the Panther Staff l, 2, 3, 4, Assoc. Editor 4, was on the Echo Staff 3, 4, Assoc. Editor 4, tooted a horn for the Band 'l, 2, 3, 4, and was a member of the Debate Club I, 2, 3, 4. Mac says that he wants to travel to the moon, but we suspect that first a course in engineering will take Larry to some as yet undecided college. PAUL JOSEPH McDOWELL Mac , another of the St. .loe's gang, sauntered down to Prep to begin his high school career. Deciding that making friends Nas of prime importance, Mac divided his rime between this and practicing the art of answering a teacher for five minutes, while saying nothing. Paul says that he thinks he should never get a bad grade. After all, who nnows more about anything than a certain lesuit at S.U.? Paul hasn't decided yet on tis career. For now he'll be satisfied iust to :arove to Mr. Brands that he really knows Nhat he's doing. STEPHEN MCKAY Steve came to Prep in '55 from St. Ed- ward's Seminary in Kenmore. As a sopho- more, Steve limited his talents to the Glee Club while he got acquainted, but he has been in the thick of things as an upper- classman. Besides continuing his Glee Club membership, Steve joined the Plnthor Staff 3, 4, Harlequin Club 3, 4, and Echo Staff 4. Steve professes three main interests-sing- ing, acting, and Carol. His college preference is Seattle U., his ambition to marry Carol. Good luck, Steve! We hope you'll be suc- cessful.
