CURTIS MERRILL Curt lndustry is the foundation of success There is no question as to what Curt is going to take up when he leaves us. All though many of us are undecided about our future careers, Curt has already had his first briefing in the art of restaurant and hotel management. We all envy him. Curt has another talent, music, which has been brought out in school programs and musicals. He is on the way to becoming a master of the marimba. Curt's willingness to work will be remembered by all.

Oh, no, it's our Billy pushing the black and white keys with rhythm plus. His musical talent is well known to the class. Bill has a sense of humor that has crept out during many a dull period and caused an uproar among classmates. We'll never forget his shar appearance in the senior play as Chester.
